The secret about shrimp is that it's super cheap compared to other seafood and like tofu it's just a canvas for whatever sauce or spices you put on it.

I am into a lot of weird music but none weirder than the stretch of Dave Matthews Band records where they go for it.

They should get married in the former JCPenney's in the Mall of Manhattan

i'm troubled by the election results coming out of new york city tonight. i firmly believe that no one should ever do anything

The secret sauce seems to be actually being sincere and energetic about the job of leading people and following through on the things you said you'd do for them. Wild.

If you haven't done so in a minute you should put on Elliott - False Cathedrals and listen to it all the way through.

This is a very funny guy to all of a sudden have an issue with "alien rule"

Going to play Control again in anticipation of Control: Resonant. Part of my ongoing "let's revisit this thing I spent a few weeks with in Spring 2020 when I was not doing great"

it's because the major questions doctrine is a crock of shit

Something very special about hearing Eric Clapton's "Change the World" in a grocery store that you don't like that much but is closer to your house.

It took me a longer time than I should admit to get here but the 2026 Mets are very bad and it's David Stearns' fault.

I enjoyed the shit out of Widow's Bay.

Ecuador's coach looks like the guy at the show in Europe that tells you 4 bands have been added and you now play at 1 AM, but there's a tray of pasta in the back.

I took this of Girl With a Pearl Earring in The Hague a few weeks ago and it's hilarious that they just straight up put it in the gift shop.

God bless Ian Mackaye because if that many people showed up on my porch I'd move to a gated community.

Of course I'm rooting for The Ivory Coast (the early 2000s Big Wheel Recreation/Polyvinyl band) youtu.be/f7cxa62x_A4?...

Locked in for Uzbekistan tonight.

me, walking into the British museum

Spotted at the Broken Social Scene show eating fries with his kid instead of watching Stars: Patton Oswalt

I dunno man, the Mets are losing 12-0 to the Cardinals before the all-star break so I'll watch any World Cup game no matter how many tiny island nations they throw into it.

I can tell you one thing, it starts with the Cro-Mags playing We Gotta Know

I saw the movie Obsession today and hoo boy that one is going to stick with me for a bit.

Ok now do The Mets

New York City is the greatest city in the world.

This is embarrassing for the league.

Ever just listen to Tom Petty "Damn the Torpedoes" on a beautiful Saturday afternoon?

I found myself in Boston Logan yesterday for a layover as plane after plane of Scots in full kilts disembarked through the terminal and can safely say that game is going to be LIT.

I was skeptical about the World Cup in general but they just cut to a bar of people going crazy in St Louis which apparently has the largest Bosnian expat community in the US and man, I love this.

Enjoying the world cup, baby

The power of Wu Tang

AHHHHHHH

The highlight of this European sojourn which ends tomorow has been a bartender in Amsterdam going "would you like some American music?" and then putting on "Walking in Memphis"

Been in Europe for over a week and finally saw someone wearing a Kickback shirt today.

Headed to Paris today. Excited to visit the filming locations from the 1995 film Forget Paris.

Just got a Go Knicks on the street in Amsterdam

That guy attending game 3 at the Garden is setting up about as close to an end of Ghostbusters 2 situation as you could in real life.

Found the bar in Amsterdam that is playing Bloc Party, life is perfect.

Not a huge Joel guy, but my answer is Allentown

After many years @iiif.bsky.social remains one of the most rewarding conference experiences out there for this field.

There is no application that has a more misguided opinion about what I need it to do than Adobe Acrobat

Was the Grink there?

At an airport bar in Boston watching people quietly vibe to Evanescence. As it was meant to be.

Travel day began with the whiplash of my Uber driver's playlist going from Offspring's "pretty fly for a white guy" into Sinatra's "learnin the blues"

Bobby Valentine is a very special type of New York area huckster and I love him for it. Would have sold appliances for Crazy Eddie if he didn't end up in baseball.

I'm at the Hum show and I'm surrounded by children in bootleg Title Fight shirts.

Spotify is wild because my (per their own stats) most listened to band Turnover released a new record and the "New Based On Your Listening Interests" card was Violet Grohl who I have never actually heard.

I've lived in LA a few years and seeing people say things like "I don't love Pratt but I can't walk on the sidewalk because of the homeless" is kind of insane. My guy, you are driving 6 blocks to go to Fatburger.

Temu Eric Adams over here

Impressive to be unable to book a bunch of musicians who play on the "I will do anything for money" circuit.

Nice to see Dylan Harper doing well.
