I love how sometimes you stumble across absolute proof that an era has ended, that a dynasty has fallen. The other day I found like 25 Steph Curry Funko Pops at Marshalls. You know your 15 minutes are up when you're heavily stocked at Marshalls.

According to the 10 day forecast and the experience of the last few days, New Orleans now has a rainy season. Getting some rain for 2-3 days in spring isn't unusual, but it's now NO summer, and it's looking like 2 weeks of pretty solid rain.

Since I stopped buying snack food, meals have a whole new importance. This is why making something for the first time with no backup plan when it's too rainy to go out is either confidence or hubris. Time will tell the difference. Proven concept with super budget ingredients, what could go wrong?

The Liberty got smashed the first game I've watched this season but seeing Bec Allen and Han Xu suited up got me right in the nostalgias.

They fired everybody who knows how to do anything and only give jobs to cronies.

I had to replace a wired router that connected our CC cameras to the Internet today. The original setup had a custom routing table that I couldn't retrieve. The new router configured its own tables perfectly. I'm hanging a sword over it by a string in case it beeps funny.

"Parents use hoarded wealth to control adult children in dying economy" is the appropriate headline.

I'm 100% sure there's a proper name for it, but the peppy faux rock theme music all over TV will always be power smooth jazz to me. Its existence is an affront to every good piece of music written by a skilled composer within any genre. This rant brought to you by YES Network's game theme.

In honor of the WNBA revenue reports coming out and the outrage about the revenue:salary ratio before:

For everybody upset, please point to "Central Jersey" on this map

I can't really find fault with the Mets' strategy of "just hit it to Volpe"

Regarding LLMs and Gen AI: I'm always willing to admit when I was wrong about a new technology I think is pointlessly solving a problem that doesn't actually exist. In that vein I would like to formally apologize to hybrid stainless/ceramic saute pans and electric pepper mills. AI users can get

Yes, a basically unkillable wildflower that can be turned into both salad and wine is obviously a scourge upon this Earth.

Half-time key-change choruses are my love language. I forget that some people can make really good riffs and lines with only 6 or 4 strings. It's absolutely crazy when you look at the state of modern metal that Anthrax just dropped a new song that would fit on any album they ever released.

They were all blasting Phish, and traces of marijuana were found in their CPUs.

If you do it right it can be both.

Orioles fans: damnit we're down 6 we're so screwed Yankees fans: damnit we're up 6 we're so screwed

Pretty sure it's the Pokemon anime intro music

How come every iconic Sophie moment is her on her ass?

I used to hate it when a storm was rolling in because I could never decide between Thunderstruck and Tornado of Souls as the perfect soundtrack, but history's greatest metal band solved that problem.

Me finding a portion of rice in the freezer when I thought I already used it all:

Happy Lovebites music video drop day to all who celebrate.

Some people will come on the internet and say anything. "James Dolan has bangers." No he doesn't, you absolute loser.

Crazy that a politician whose entire core demographic appeal is dudes who don't pay their child support would do that.

"We gotta ban the Verrazzano" If he does this he gets to be president for 2 terms. Those are the rules.

I'm irrationally pissed off about how much I like my rechargeable electric pepper mill.

I am overly annoyed that I went to buy a pepper mill at the bougie cheap kitchen stuff store (Marshalls) and they only had electric ones and only in pairs. Someone will say the second one is a salt grinder (so does the package) and just know I'm totally judging you for grinding salt.

Musk and Altman believe in UBI in the same way RFK Jr believes in universal healthcare. Once they've killed off all the undesirables, the worthy will live in Gene Roddenberry's utopian future.

The reason homo sapiens is slated for extinction isn't any specific belief but the craven need to believe in something. Also, stop listening to people about stuff outside their expertise. Smart people are usually idiots.

I genuinely hope they're training it solely on post data from the conspiracy-addled boomer grandmas that comprise facebook's actual user base.

Jazz pimped that ball so hard Shaft stopped by to ask him what the word on the street is.

They draft a generational forward.

Um about that, those weren't for research. Paired with some mad cow brain jam and urinal cakes, that was his charcuterie board.

It's actually been kind of fun to see a bunch of previously privileged people learning that the actual Constitution, the one that governs normal people's lives, reads in its entirety: Our game. Our rules. Fuck you. We win.

I'm not watching the NHL playoffs but I'm hearing the experiment of using goal cutouts instead of actual goalies has been a bit of a failure.

Jack Johnson as third star, 98-year-old Jaromir Jagr's hat trick, 8-6 final score...

So far this year, the weather has been wrong at all times. 80s in February, mid 50s in May.

tfw your fantasy batter hits a bomb off your fantasy pitcher

If this court ever stops short of actually destroying another pillar of what America pretends is its ethos, just remember they're really saying "bring us a better case so we can do it all the way with plausible deniability."

I never hear Pat Riley talk so it always surprises me that he looks like Al Pacino but sounds like Jimmy Carter.

The manosphere is the losers hanging out behind the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere. They swear it's by choice.

I love when coworkers start getting messy in the chat.

Nah. The question right now is how the hell people spent enough money on Kid Rock that he's got private jet money. He should be living in a single wide with a Bondo-colored Dodge Omni under the carport. I'm judging tf out of all of his fans.

Apropos of nothing in particular...

The world is collapsing and everything sucks but people are still awesome sometimes. Watch. The. Drummer.

The purest thing I've seen on the Internet in forever is this rock group that does live streamed covers they've never played together beforehand. Goofy af in the best possible ways.

The one where @joon.bsky.social explains why the Red Sox are the way they are is just 🤌 might watch it again tonight if I can find some popcorn.

In light of the Boston Red Sox firing Cora and staff, my axiom of sports accountability: Whenever somebody in a sports organization gets fired for team performance, they directly report to the person who should've been fired.
