i'm reading vineland which is supposed to be pynchon's most accessible novel, and if that's the case I have bad news about my interest in reading any of his other stuff

it's a shame they didn't just make the name "washington football team" permanent because it would've been funny if they relocated

making a little nuget library, as a treat

watching the beatles anthology and it's always fun to remember that england is slightly smaller than illinois

whole neighborhood digging out from 16" of snow on a fine sunday morning, better than any mass i've ever been to

good morning from my deck

this somehow worked for me. wireless mouse/keyboard on usb 3.0 lag/stutter is fixed by disabling OS animation? I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation but, what the hell. (i'm using mine on a KVM so I can't really just swap out for a usb 2.0 hub)

"santa packs are coming," blared the all -too-familiar siren, signaling the beginning of another raid, where packs of feral santas would descend from the nearby mountains to cause havoc in the city

the lions had jack white and eminem because they're detroit natives. the cowboys have los angelino post malone because he's doing pandering modern country bullshit

WHY would i do this. to what end

Rad. Also as much as I love Freddy Peralta, I won't be mad if they decide to sell high on him (provided they get a haul of good prospects in return)

Class solidarity but in the sense of 'Class A felon'

Janesville, Wisconsin. This is easy

Posting about how you're annoyed with people posting pictures of a rare natural phenomenon is the social media equivalent of replying all when somebody mistakenly emails the company wide distribution list
