Threads users thinking that Grand Marshal is the same thing as Grand Wizard... it's Trump-level stupidity, and part of me hopes it's an op.

Congrats to all my Arsenal fan friends!

holy shit lmao they did it Southampton kicked out of the playoff final for spying

Wish he'd done this in full Chips Ahoy! Zorro setup, but what can you do

Willing myself into an anxiety attack by reading about the recording sessions for any given U2 album

Are you kidding me

minnesota gov. tim walz has signed a bill banning prediction markes (kalshi, polymarket). first state-level ban of its kind. (sports betting via traditional/mobile sports books is still illegal here too)

City changing managers like

Lightning strike in Stillwater!

"Free Burger - This Week Only!" No, I don't think that's true. I think the promotion will be active longer than you let on.

Today's @themountaingoats.bsky.social book song is from his fabled kids album, which I can confirm exists. When they played in our studio, John soundchecked a couple of these tunes, and he emphasized in kind but stern fashion that these were not to be recorded, because they belonged to his family.

It speaks to the overall strength of the Premier League, but Sunderland has been so funny this season. They'll lose a couple games and it's like, they're a few points above the drop zone, then they win a couple games and it's like, they are in contention for Europe.

Big if true.

The downtown St. Paul motorist with the back window decal that said FUCK YOU but the K was the state of Minnesota, along with his Instagram handle, which is entirely devoted to his 2014 Audi.

Notts County versus Salford City in the League Two final!

Veep Doodoo

Rescued my first turtle out of the street! "Rescue" is a strong word, as the beast was motoring along perfectly well without my help and seemed annoyed that I tried to assist them 😆 but watch out on roadways, as they are on the move!

Happy 78th birthday to Brian Eno! Considering dropping his 54-minute song into the playlist and treating it as just another tune.

Wondering how Carolina got a SNF game, then remembering they won the division last year lmao

Wait I thought of a couple more that I've annoyed people with for decades: The carnival footage from the music video for U2's "The Unforgettable Fire" is the Minnesota State Fair The music videos for Prince's "1999" and Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" were filmed at the Armory.

I'm sure many people have already made this joke, but if the end credits needle drop is the Sting song, I might actually go see it. (I will not go see it)

My parents were devoted ER viewers, but by fall 2000, my aunt (who'd never seen it) was in town and my parents essentially started MST3K riffing the episode by (correctly) calling out every plot beat before it happened.

Graduated from college 20 years ago today 🤯

The lead character of 25TH HOUR is named Monty (his mother was a fan of the actor) and ends with the radical disfigurement of his face.

Was delighted to see this pop up in my top 100 Spotify songs of all time, lol (great song!!) open.spotify.com/track/2GwDKc...

I'm not trying to be alarmist but $4.59 gas feels like a harbinger of civilizational collapse.

The Mountain Goats book going into the We Shall All Be Healed era with four straight rarities/B-sides

Yuck - either club would challenge Derby's points record: Hull because they're just not that good, and Southampton because they might get a points deduction for their Spygate shenanigans and every Premier League club would then relish the chance to beat up on them.

Life is just absolutely impossible.

Quote-skeet with a doctor you’d trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.

I think Spurs stay up by 1 point

Just alluded to this song to some Zoomer colleagues; they quite understandably didn't get the reference, but it's an excellent opportunity to remind everyone that Harry Chapin contained multitudes: youtu.be/OGldNpngDws?...

Sorry for the early morning ruminations on mortality, but few celebrity deaths have rattled me like Greg Gumbel - it just feels extremely weird that he isn't on TV anymore.

This is what adults should actually treat like May 4th Star Wars day

I keep trying, and I also don't think I will ever be good enough.

Every time I play "Born of Frustration"

The Minnesota Timberwolves lead the San Antonio Spurs at halftime, 60-56 - all to play for in the second half.

My pal Paul points out that the penalty shootout earlier between Rochdale and Boreham Wood pitted Oliver Whatmuff against Ted Curd. “It’s as if I’m playing Football Manager on a ZX Spectrum and I’ve renamed the players myself”

Trump rigged the NBA Draft Lottery so that Washington would win in the country's 250th anniversary year. (I don't actually believe this)

Wolves fans have been beating the anti-VAR drum for a long time - I'm fine with this result, with the admission that if it had benefitted Man City instead of Arsenal, there would be a call for tribunals.

So happy that Rochdale is going up. They were the consensus favorites among National League fans, in a "rising tide lifts all boats" way, and should be instant contenders in the League Two promotion race alongside York.

Oh my goodness Rochdale has EQUALISED!! The Wood have gone flaccid!!

A tone sincere recession indicator is the sheer number of ads I'm seeing for Amazon and Starbucks that emphasize their employee health benefits.
