January 1 means it’s time for me to start my annual top 31 albums of the year countdown!

Shiiiiiiiit

As fine an actor as he was, Isiah was an even better spirit and the greatest gentleman.

I answered in the affirmative to the question “is this the taxi line?“ asked by Neil Patrick Harris, and then my wife and I rode on an 8-person water taxi with NPH and his husband, his kids, and even a couple of grandparents in Vancouver, BC while he was there filming Lemony Snicket.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

bluey appreciation post

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Lutefisk hotline: ya hey, what's the deal now? Sven: Ya, we ran out of lutefisk Lutefisk hotline: oh jeez Sven: oh jeez

This entire weekend

I cannot, in fact, handle the truth.

Brown University mass shooting, Australian mass shooting, and now Rob Reiner and his wife killed by his son? This weekend has been horrific on a grand scale. My heart is breaking for all the victims and those left behind.

"there's a new serif in town"

I can't listen to the song without thinking of

“On May 11, 1978, Guided By Voices vocalist Robert Pollard threw the first no-hitter in Wright State University history.” www.gojeffgo.com/music-fun-fa...

“But tell me, honestly, when you reserved a rental car through Hertz, you thought… what? That we were going to set aside a special little car just for you? Seriously? Oh my god.” I’m crying/laughing over here. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-...

He is risen

It’s time.

You just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

Beautiful.

Dec 9, 1994: I witness Frank Black perform a terrible, egotistic acoustic solo set in Tulsa, OK (opening for TMBG, who were phenomenal, natch). Nearly 31 years later: please vote for the great De La Soul, they deserve to be #1. Frank Black does not.

The meanest thought I ever had about a baby was “oh no, he looks like John Byrne drew him”

Where is the love for Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique? Do it for Yauch!

This is the true final match of 1989. I’m confident if the Beasties had faced The Cure and De La faced the Pixies in the semis, we’d have this as the final match of the year. Instead we get these two behemoths of hip hop devouring each other a round too early, leaving one to fall to 3rd place.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Zohran Mamdani to release PSA video, "How to talk to your deranged racist MAGA uncle at Thanksgiving dinner."

Snocaps is a supergroup comprised of indie people your normal friends haven't heard of, and their whole new record is a gem. youtu.be/_aUJO7y998A?...

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

What I don’t understand about that creepy 2wai “capture grandma as AI for all time” concept video is that grandma clearly is NOWHERE NEAR death. Like, she would probably live AT LEAST another 30 years after that video was taken. Who wants to capture a 30-year old version of their close relative?

a “Space Force”, if you will

find the lunch joint in your town that's offering a new hoagie called the Sean Dunn. those are your people

THIS IS SO GOOD

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Only 143 days until the next game.

...World Series hero Miguel Rojas (Venezuela), Edgardo Henriquez (Venezuela), and manager Dave Roberts (born in Japan). What an incredible international team of immigrant champions! (2/2)

Congrats to Mark Walter, President of Guggenheim Partners and owner of the Dodgers, and his players Teoscar Hernández (Dominican Republic), Shohei Ohtani (Japan), Andy Pages (Cuba), Hyeseong Kim (South Korea), Kiké Hernandez (Puerto Rico), Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Japan), Roki Sasaki (Japan)... (1/2)

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Lol. My theory is that a critical mass of Mariners fans finally decided maybe they were ready to watch some of the WS and that's why this is happening. Sorry not sorry

George Springer has completed his rehab assignment

Sexy Stevie Mackey Pretty sure I can’t pull that off, nor is it culturally appropriate for me to even try.

can someone explain to me why toronto is even allowed to play in the world series? since when is canada in the world

Opening in theaters this weekend, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. If you see it on a double date, make sure you get your seats at the box office, lest you miss out on the chance to respond to the cashier asking how many tickets you want with “I’d like 1-2-3-4!”

Remember, as SNAP is about to end, the standing rule remains firm: If you see someone stealing diapers or formula no you didn't.

the last six weeks or so of m's baseball has been some of the most fun baseball i've seen in my life
