KOOOYAAAAANIS

death to america etc. but that was a sensational last second goal goddamn

((tries to remember anything about Paraguay)) man, we are LANDLOCKING these guys right now

Like Rutherford, the US B Hazing Paraguay.

It’s not that the USMNT is winning, it’s that they’re playing fun, exciting soccer. Never seen them play like this before!

I really love Bosnia and Herzegovina’s kits and think that more countries need to experiment with raglan sleeves.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

look how much craftsmanship we've lost in clothing in just a hundred years

Re-upping because this deserves more likes.

Perhaps there is hope for humanity after all.

FYI

Absolutely infuriating: “Instead of being a theater for movies, Sevart described the space as now being a place where they’ll show various ‘content’ that will be determined more in the future.”

I'm sort of torn between thinking Americans are so insulated by wealth and prosperity that the possibility of a fast revolution is totally foreclosed and the knowledge that suburban civilization would catastrophically collapse if trucks stopped making deliveries for like 10 days.

guy who is mad at Nolan’s Odyssey because it depicts the sea as blue instead of wine-dark

I'm crying! Seahawks give your social media team a raise youtube.com/shorts/6MwrE...

Me, just waking up: holy shit someone plunged a poison-tipped dagger between Rex Reed's shoulder blades.

My bagel sandwich had a fried egg with an especially orange yolk. My wife yoinked some of my yolk. She then hit upon the following tongue-twister: New York yolk yoinker. New York yolk yoinker. New York yolk yoinker. New York yolk yoinker.

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

a reminder that a lot of the things people find unpleasant about cities - along with the noise and dirtiness - are largely a product of filling them with cars. get rid of the cars and the pleasantness of the environment improves dramatically

If you’re going to relocate from Seattle, do it in January, when everyone is depressed from dark days and rain, not in the spring when you get that first glorious taste of summer and the cherry blossoms are out and Seattle is suddenly the most perfect place to live.

Exciting news! On a trial basis for now, AVCX will be providing cryptic clues to Parseword, a new daily game from Josh Wardle (of Wordle fame). Starting this Saturday with work from @jessshulman.bsky.social Give it a try… www.parseword.com

remunerate. I always want to spell (and say) it as renumerate.

Haven’t watched the Mariners this season. Chose today to catch a game, and they’re being no-hit on a miserable rainy Minnesota day in a near-empty ballpark. Twins lead, 7-0. #fun

dems should start ripping the ballroom just to keep him distracted, say the renderings are tacky and itll be the only thing he talks about for a week

Short tulip in my weird little guy.

Save me, Dizzie Gillespie featuring Ray Brown, Joe Pass and Mickey Roker produced by Norm Franz for his Pablo label; you're my only hope

In the past year, I discovered the music of Meredith Monk. I really enjoy her vocal experimentation. Today, in looking for more such music, I came across this five-year old article. There is some wonderful and fascinating here: theroadtosound.com/2020/11/30/a...

Fun with genealogy:

Me: [idly looking up info on popes] Wikipedia: This list is incomplete; you can help expand it. Me: wut? Wikipedia: [lifts eyebrows suggestively]

@jodyavirgan.com I expect that you’ll get a hundred messages about this, so my apologies if I’m adding to a torrent, but Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball. The reason his legend was agreed upon is quite interesting and says a lot about what we want the history of baseball to be.

Give Trump to Iran. Just let them have him as a conciliatory gesture.

the opening credits of LADY IN A CAGE (1964) go so incredibly hard. (and not merely because of the words "introducing James Caan.")

My wife is out of town so I can indulge in my sick passions*. *Eating untoasted cinnamon raisin bagels.

Easter is Coming

The Ghost of Hamlet’s father comes from hell and is trying to get Hamlet to condemn his soul.

With wayfinding on the top of everyone's mind, I decided to submit my solution to the problem. With a slight rebrand and some station name tweaks, we can create a system that is both legible and easy to navigate! I present DT, Downtown Transit!

Wearing heavy makeup, President Trump has emotional meltdown over the blocking of the building of his beloved ballroom. Can the aging President, who recently gifted new shoes to members of his Cabinet, choose the right drapes while distracted by war with Iran? Perhaps he needs to smile more.

I just found out there’s a women’s tennis player named Katie Volynets, and while I feel like I am late to this knowledge, it has forever changed my life, and I will be rooting for her to win every tournament from now on.

Baseball is back, which means my friend is once again sending me photos of Brewers player Sal Frelick that look like my cat, Sal Furlick

Not the main point, but it’s worth noting that Star Trek: The Next Generation introduces the new, large, threatening Romulan ships at the end of season 1, then spends the next six seasons never—not even once!—getting into a fire fight with them.
