Whenever I'm afraid to shoot my shot, from now on, I'm going to think about how many times the best soccer players in the world send the ball 15 feet over the crossbar.

Has anyone done this yet..?

New Painting! College Hill viewed from across the Providence River.

Sadly, I'll be giving up my studio at the end of June. If you'd like to see all my paintings in one place, then we can set up a time to visit or you can stop by on June 13, which is the next 75 Webster Street Open Studios.

This is super-fun. (I did not do nearly as well as this internationally-known antiquities theft professor. I got top 58%)

Boston Magazine asked me to write about Boston as a soccer city and I’m here to tell you that the city has always been a soccer city no matter what the radio pundits and newspaper editors tell you. www.bostonmagazine.com/arts-enterta...

oh ok melvine malard, well damn

For anyone wondering what was going to happen with this former club on Southbridge Street.

Nooooooo... Mural artist: Scott Boilard

basketball’s all like gimme that pumpkin i need it and tennis is all like fuck this lemon you take it.

Having a conversation with my ladyfriend about what cat makeup would look like.

Seen in Providence today:

I hereby award a Michelin star to the scientist who invented the tangelo.

With the way AI is being forced upon us everywhere, combined with the common mistakes it makes, it creates an interesting new reading for Orwell's 2+2=5 bit.

Petition to name one of the local soccer teams the Phantom Snow Leopard. Credit to @saintsopossums.bsky.social for the name.

I'd like to give credit to my strength of will for not doomscrolling as much as I used to. But really it's because I now need reading glasses and can't see my phone without switching.

I wonder how many of the brightest or most expensive minds graduating now will be devoted to serving the most overhyped industry in history or to advising businesses on how many people to fire. All to jump on an economic Noah's Ark. Maybe they are the smart ones. Maybe the ark is made of plaster.

Walking through Cambridge today in my University of Arizona hat looking for good opportunities to yell "NERDS!" at the Harvard and MIT grads. (Out of envy 😢)

Circle Pit Zipper Merge 🤝 Triumphs of human organization

My local UPS store insisting that my name is "Tim Curry" is an honor, but ultimately unhelpful.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

One of my favorite NBA memories was when Marcus Smart won a game for the Celtics by making James Harden really mad and getting Harden to foul him a bunch of times.

This is a fun thread:

Just recently realized I still have a Threads account. I will probably revisit for a week and then cancel if not entertained.

My top five fave things to eat in Worcester: 1. Polish plate and a beer at White Eagle 2. Potato pancake breakfast at Broadway 3. A spread from Ed Hyders 4. Two up and a High Life at Coney 5. Apple Cider donut and coffee from Crust (Only incl meals where I know what I'm going to get when I walk in)

Congrats to @ericcasey.bsky.social for being named Journalist of the Yearby The Alliance of Area Business Publishers! wbjournal.com/article/wbjs...

I would love to hear a Werner Herzog monologue about the Minions from the Despicable Me franchise.

Sitting in a ratty, stained easy chair, nibbling on a bit of cheese, as I hold my phone up to my ear, like a transistor radio, listening to the Mets game. Really embracing middle age.

New Painting! Prince and Garden Court (North End Boston)

Here's some baby ducks and one adult duck at Elm Park in Worcester, Mass.

I was impressed that Google prioritized the women's hockey game tonight, when I asked "when does the puck drop tonight". Then I realized it had one of the teams wrong. (Ottawa is playing Montreal in the PWHL finals)

In case anyone is wondering, the helicopter that's been slowly looping around Worcester for the past few minutes is "SHADY18" which is a hilariously on the nose call sign or whatever the terminology is.

Strong independent scene mags. Cleveland Scene, Boston Phoenix, etc.

When I was a kid, I saw the movie Trading Places (1983) and was fascinated by the world of commodities trading. Now, decades later I get to play commodities trader every time my gas tank is less than half-full.

As a very casual soccer enjoyer, I've only recently realized how many Premier League soccer teams I watch are based in London.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 (I will support local media by not telling you which one so you have to click)

I wonder what lands you in the McJail

Grimace spent 10 years in there after leaking the secret sauce recipe to the Inquirer.

In 2002 I lived in a railroad apartment with a number of people. We had a tv, but were too cheap to get cable. I plugged the coax into the cable outlet and hit program and we ended up with NY1, IFC, BET, the Food Network, and Cartoon Network. Except for the lack of sports, a perfect channel lineup.

Worcester: I just realized today when reading about the new Resource Center on Gold St. ribbon cutting (bravo on that!), that Gold Street runs from Miss. Worcester to Green Street, disappearing for a ways under the old Wyman Gordon property and Polar Park.

I think from now on whenever someone starts talking to me, I'm going to respond like it's a post game interview.

Celtics could do full line changes every 5 minutes like hockey.

New painting! This is Salem and Parmenter Streets in Boston's North End. 14" x 14" Acrylic on Canvas

I couldn't go to the LACMA opening but a friend sent this photo from the "incident report factory," as she called it. So long, paisley shawls, it was nice knowing you...

Something that has always broken my brain is the argument of accessibility to art objects vs. the safety of those objects. I appreciate both sides of the argument. It was a debate that ran through my head constantly in my time as a museum guard.

Note: The Worcester Art Museum is free today

New painting of the intersection of Salem and Prince in Boston's North End

I honestly can't fathom a lifestyle where I'm like "Welp, I'm running 26 miles tomorrow. I'd better do a few laps around the city today!"
