I’m at the Salt Shed for Neko Case and I’m perplexed by the opener. They’re good! But not even close to a genre or vibe that makes sense. They’re opening for Iggy Pop? The Hives? X? Oh, of course. I wouldn’t expect them before the lady who sings about tragic animals and loneliness.

I was married, but I’m not any more. Women don’t like the vehicle

Two things. 1. The 777 can be flown with polished aluminum. 2. Why even do a retro jet if it’s not polished aluminum?

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

I like airplanes.

So unranked USC has scheduled a game against secretly ranked USC? Which also means that USC has guaranteed itself another loss?

Poor damn Devin Gardner

If the white collar crime division at a law enforcement agency is not subscribed to Google alerts for Real Housewives casting notices, they should be relieved of duty.

If you park your car in a no-parking 4-lane road, it DOES NOT MATTER that it’s really tight against the curb because IT IS STILL BLOCKING THE LANE.

This here’s a man of the people.

The number is inverted for Michigan listeners.

Trash Tuesday: Games shouldn’t stop for media timeouts. Broadcasts should simply pause the feed and resume when your ad is done.

The power move is to have multiple chronic conditions that you can count on to always hit your out of pocket maximum, so all you have to do is figure out if the lower premiums plus tax savings from an HSA will outweigh the lower max OOP number on the “good” plan.

This is one of those things that barely anyone at Michigan even knows, but the best part of being in Alumni Band for Homecoming is not the game or even playing at the stadium. The best part is singing the alma mater in the tunnel before pregame. youtu.be/HQdyHddBqxs?...

“Matthew 25:21” by @themountaingoats.bsky.social. And you were a presence full of light upon this Earth and I am a witness to your life an to its worth. It’s three days later when I get the call. And there’s nobody around to break my fall. youtu.be/mFpQQM1pfUc?...

Math people have an Erdős number; musicians should have an Elvis number. Elvis is 0, and Johnny Cash is 1 (Million Dollar Quartet). My Elvis number is 4. I played with MMB members who played at Super Bowl VII with Andy Williams who recorded with the Wrecking Crew who recorded with Elvis.

Trying to figure out if IMDB closed the door on scrapers or if Python on my new laptop is configured wrong, because I keep getting 403 errors on my script.

She’s come a long way since her days on the road with Twirl King Yo-Yos.

“Brendan Sorsby” is not a quarterback name. That is a left winger at Cornell who was drafted in the second round by the Carolina Hurricanes.

He looks like he’s here to address the rumors that his AI startup that promises to constantly feed you subliminal positive biofeedback is just a morphine drip.

“These captains are a disgrace. They cut off the corners of the sail and hang it upside down, it looks horrible. They call them ‘bentincks’ and it’s awful. A big strong bosun came up to me with tears in his eyes, ‘Sir, they’ve ruined the ship!’ And we’re not going to let them get away with that.”

Company just opened a two-year posting in Europe and boy oh boy am I considering that.

How did Spilly break into my parents’ house and steal old pictures of me

White Cloud, MI is grim. “Can they tell that I’m Polish? I think that could get me hate-crimed here.” Naples, FL is for angry retired CFOs.

GIRL. COME ON.

Getting together every week with a couple hundred people to scream-sing “This Year” could fix me.

Once again thinking about how ~May 1997 to 1998 was one of the greatest years of my life. I turned 16 and got a car, the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup, Michigan football won the natty (and I was there for ND, OSU, and the Rose Bowl!), hockey did too, and I spent all summer playing hockey and tennis.

happy neko case album release day, it’s a good one

Wow, holy dried mango in the shape of North Carolina. Please tell a local Belichick that I am willing to sell them this powerful totem for low six figures.

Never let someone from West Michigan pretend that they understand Canada. Buddy, you didn't go to Boblo Island. You don't even know what the Windsor Ballet is. You'd get bodied by Rick Mercer asking about war-torn Saskatchewan or Mr. Dressup, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. It's a fact!

That’s Boston University quiz bowl legend Garrett from COMMUNITY

Is there anyone out there with a quality article/book/whatever on what (if anything) AI is actually good at now, not what VC hype wants it to be? @hockeybear.space?

My great uncle was born about a century ago. He would pop over to my grandparents’ house all the time to ask the same three questions. He used to read novels while he was driving down the interstate.

Incredible. (Good) science is amazing.
