Highlight of tonight was Britt and Alex doing Bowie’s I Won’t Give Everything Away midset as a duo.

Every drummer should aspire to the rock solid time of Jim Eno.

That was a really good band playing really good songs really well.

The last time I saw Spoon was the day of the 2022 Cville half marathon. I’m pretty sure that I got COVID for the first time that night, but it was a great show.

DTF St Louis is sublime? Why didn’t it break through more? It’s NOT what I thought it was. Beautifully crafted. Much artier and weirder than I thought it would be. Highly recommend. Need to know about why the police station is unnecessarily wonderful - like a theatre set for a Kafka adaptation. Love

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

oh look it’s the thing that literally anyone with half a fucking brain saw coming the second he started telling obvious lies about the tattoo. good job everyone involved, high fives, top notch work

The Mall crossings are once again open & many drivers are once again failing to obey the stop signs or yield to pedestrians. The city should close them permanently—for public safety & for the symbolic statement that on the Mall, if nowhere else, people are more important than cars. But here we are.

Separating enjoyment of a team's results from ownership, scandal, etc is key to enjoying sports. You can apply this to a lot of things.

J explaining to our friends why I didn't make it to the hangout.

Hell yeah. This is one that I remember where and when I bought it.

Spoon and Ratboys feels like a bill made just for me.

Two eps into Widow’s Bay and we want to play the games from the inn.

I keep thinking that I’d still be happy if my preseason White Sox prediction (75-87) plays out, but that’d mean a 28-45 rest of the season and that wouldn’t be fun. Maybe .500 is where I set my sights.

Can’t sleep? Simple methods that work: • study hurricane forecast • who hates me • what did i forget • relive supreme humiliation • win 12-yr-old argument • buried alive? could happen • what i did vs should have done • dead people i miss • what if i’m bad • why do i say stuff • what’s my fuckin deal

If I pay a fee to watch a single team on mlb.tv, I should get to see all of that team's games even if they're available via other outlets.

the Jackass guys make me so happy.

to me, it doesn't really matter whether a wealthy person giving away many millions of dollars is "just for PR," i want them to keep doing it. take your PR, i don't care, buy my goodwill, the more money you give away does indeed make me respect you more.

One calendar year of Colson Montgomery and he's played 155 games, batting .229 with 43 HR, 106 RBI, an .814 OPS, and 5.3 WAR while playing a very good SS (6 OAA). He's also struck out 194 times, but what's a guy to do?

The security guard at the door:

Deserved!

Ranking Frescas: 1.) Black Cherry Citrus 2.) the OG 3.) Peach Citrus I'm glad the Crozet HT is once again carrying numbers 1 and 3.

It's gonna be time to find the closest real IMAX to the 434. Does Richmond have one?

I know everyone was glued to the major sporting event happening today.

One of my favorite Fourths as a child was one where the check engine light came on in my dad's Taurus, so we turned around, stopped at Dairy Queen, and went home. I remember eating my Blizzard and watching the White Sox. A good night.

Book on the generation in high school in the late 90's called Children of the Korn.

PHOEBE BRIDGERS: and what *I'M* saying is that pre-snap motion has become such a staple of Shanahan Tree coaching schemes that modern defenses have fully adapted by filling any potential leverage gaps ANDY REID: (nodding while eating a big bowl of spaghetti)

Don't read this, NCAA.

Fun to think that in a few short weeks I'll be hanging out in Taylor Swift's wedding venue.

82 and sunny at 8:30. Let’s snap off a quick five.

Wednesday - Live on KEXP #musikktips #music #musicsky #nowplaying

“Airplane!” was released on this date in 1980.

The spokesperson was Butt-Head.

I sorta forgot how good the last Dinosaur Jr full length is but the announcement of their new one has me revisiting it and it’s made my morning.

They said this about Ghostbusters, too.

I’m still sweating half an hour post-run. I worry that one of these days, it won’t stop.

I’m always glad to see someone else saying this.

Yes, just like inspiring forebear William Henry Harrison! Orate until you can find no more inspiration.

I haven't had a Coors in 20+ years but the advertising is striking a chord right now.
