I left this square eight times in 2025.

There's not a cell in my stomach that remembers the midnight DQPC. No oral tradition passed down, no written record left behind. All intestinal memory erased. They have no idea what to do right now.

The main way I track my age is the ever-growing window of time between the latest hour my body can handle caffeine and the earliest hour it can handle alcohol.

For the first time in years, there's a detached single-family home for sale in my neighborhood for under $500K. I'll bet a dime for every current square foot against a nickel for every square foot in 2028 that it won't still be a 1084sf house in three years. Any takers?

This new development will be easily accessible from either of the two worst stops on the #4 route, or the worst stop on the #56 and #71 routes.

HEARTWARMING: When people in this city learned a beloved daycare worker was walking miles to the school and back each day, every single citizen pitched in to buy them a transit system.

A person in Grundy County is 400x as likely to die from gun violence as a person in Queens. But a person in Queens is twice as likely to have a neighbor within a mile of them die from gun violence. Perceptions of safety seem to be driven by the latter in a way our brains aren't wired to overcome.

Credit @wsmv.com for the headline and for not shying away from assigning agency and blame to the assailants or humanity to the victim: "The investigation shows that a man and a woman were driving a blue Honda sedan on Nolensville Pike when they struck a person on a bicycle."

You play your cards right and you might just be visited by 3 spirits.

I'm not saying it's the only good thing in Houston, but I'd need some time to think of a second.

i don't think hank done it thisaway, no. i don't think hank done it thisaway.

This morning we shared the bus with 17 other passengers: 6 men and 11 women. And he learned how to do Fang Fingers.

I pulled up a 1989 NASCAR race to show the 4yo the real life Darrell Cartrip and Strip "The King" Weathers. He picked three favorites: Davey Allison, Dale Earnhardt, and Alan Kulwicki. 💥🚁 💥🚗 ✈️💥

A lot of Todd Snider remembrances since Friday have linked Play a Train Song, his eulogy of East Nashville legend Skip Litz. Todd wrote this blog (🔗 @ end of 🧵) right after Skip died, a year before the song came out. It reveals a lot about "Uncle Skip," old East Nashville, and about Todd Snider. 1/

We shared the bus with 11 other passengers: 4 men and 7 women.

I love the subtle incorporation of red in both uniforms. Hadn't thought of it before this series, but I wonder if the Jay's design was a conscious homage to the Dodgers' unis. Why else put the logo there?

I have not seen this many players on the field look this confused at the same time in years (and I play sandlot baseball)

"What if Josh Naylor was fast?" is going to be one of those great baseball "what ifs," up there with Ted Williams playing through WW2, the Expos in '94, Bo Jackson staying healthy or Josh Hamilton staying clean.

How is the Open Cup "major" but not the NHL's Presidents' Trophy, which the Preds won in 2018?

Happy Walk to School Day!
