Folks, we’re about to engage in the first lawn mow of 2026. Louisiana has pushed through the apex of the hill and we’re on the downslope of winter, heading towards spring. We’re not fully back, but we’re close!

The steak and eggs bastard has logged on.

It fucken WIMDY out there this morning

New PizzeRizzo just dropped

FREE DUMB IDEA: a week-long bicycle stage race called the Tour de Louisiane. It starts eight days prior to the Sunday before Mardi Gras, the final stage is a (neutralized) peloton going down St. Charles on Mardi Gras Sunday between Thoth and Bacchus. It would be a disaster, I need to make it happen.

It may be recency bias, but man Send Help ruled so hard

GOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM

Picked up an injury just looking at this Google search result.

Big fan of seeing an update of Lindsay “fuck it we ball” Vonn before the opening ceremonies.

Feels like this is up @davidbix.bsky.social’s allsy.

Q: what is “symmetry?” A:

Sunny and 75, windows down, music up.

Shoutout to @stevengodfrey.bsky.social for starting Fish and Fellowship Fridays a couple weeks before Lent proper on this week’s Single Wing.

Also??????

The third-biggest work deadline of the year has passed. The weight, it is off my shoulders.

Damn why did they have to go this hard tho

Walking around the neighborhood, it’s 42 degrees with no wind, the third-biggest work deadline of the year is tomorrow and I’m prepared to clear the hurdle. A foot thing that had me concerned about my ultra in a couple weeks is gonna be alright. Mardi Gras next week. Everything’s coming up THRILLHO.

The Zach Yorke show is going to be delightful this season

Almost Friday

It’s stickball sports szn baby!

The goal for 2026 is to live like it’s an endless summer, and slightly longer days + Blink-182 are HITTIN hittin in that regard.

CAN I HELP YOU

Vibe: grilling steaks while listening to No Sex in the Champagne Room

Yoooo it’s @kirio.bsky.social on the teevee!

Raw milk: it does what it says on the tin! [unfortunately the tin says “this can kill you and/or maim you”]

Been a rough month+ to start the new year at work, but holy shit Ali was thinking of me when she got some groceries this weekend.

Waiting for some work processes to finish, so I’m doing that thing where I vicariously re-walk streets of cities I’ve visited using Google Maps.

Man Google really is dogshit now.

What I find interesting about this article: a lot of the guys interviewed had concurrent addictions that they also gave broke, which (to me) makes addiction to sports betting a comorbidity to things like alcoholism and drug addiction. The Venn diagram of boozing, gambling, and sports overlaps a lot.

Your local feral zrau can have a pack of Nabs, as a little treat.

Coworker grimaced when I told her my lunch was an entire giant sandwich from our local sandwich place near work, that means she was impressed right

As someone who attended La Porte High for an entire semester in 2005, believe me when I say “FUCK DEER PARK” with my entire chest.

Walking around downtown Baton Rouge, smelling the fried seafood from local eateries in the air

Life is short, run the chill races in a baseball jersey.

PARISIAN GREETER [PAID]: Bonjour mes amis, bienvenue à Paris! BOB FROM MERAUX: the fuck is this guy saying to me

hmm (no order): -the Clash -Wilco -Fleet Foxes -Prince -Talking Heads

Ate two chuck eye steaks and an entire Japanese sweet potato, who wants to do Oklahoma drills

The transformative power of a haircut.

Ordered the BP Annual, 2026 is the year I put my whole ass into following MLB for the entire season for the first time in nearly a decade.

Gonna leave the country for two weeks and return to longer and warmer days, ya boy is gonna be outside 25 hours a day starting in mid-March.

“This is not a nursing home, this is a *retirement community!*”

They get the Toonces logo, they deserve it

Red Bull made the white peach a permanent fixture, I have never felt more validated in my tastes.

57:16, fun little race to get the legs back moving again and a good excuse to hammer some king cake and jambalaya before 10AM. Over 800 entrants based on preliminary results, and two weeks after Louisiana Marathon weekend to boot. Baton Rouge is a running city!!!!!!

Local middle reliever decides to run 10K in his own jersey for some reason.

After working late most days for the last three weeks, today’s intentions are: a.) not doing that and b.) taking some of that extra leave I’ve accrued and leaving early.

phantomisland.show, you can tell Godfrey and Ryan how much you loathe your university administration for a small monthly or annual fee, it’s not the only benefit but it’s the best one!
