All my Boston Area Peeps yous guys need to go see JBE's amazing show "The Ego and the Oracle." twenty seven thumbs up. Do it. And if you can't go, share with your neighbors. Trust me. You won't regret it.

I am looking forward to the Bad Bunny concert with some football book-ends.

happy alternative pop culture reference media gif to those who celebrate. Even if it isn't tuesday. crank up Asia's "Heat of the Moment," enjoy some diner breakfast, and die over and over again. #spnfamily #supernatural #piginapoke

congratulations turnstile. the fact there is no gif of the stage dive from the #nprtinydesk is shameful.

if I owned a venue/bar, I wouldn't hire any one of these guys to be bouncers/security/anything They're not to be trusted to put smiley face black light stamps on the hands of under-21 guests All this alleged "training" I keep hearing they got - not a shred of evidence they paid attention in class

HAPPY BOSTON MOONINITE PANIC DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep

this one. this has ruined me for the day.

@matthewphillion.bsky.social thought you'd enjoy this McSweeney's!

big same, billy shakes. big same.

"Señor Plow no es macho...."

the NFL has a commercial with players/kids/people singing the Mr. Rogers "You Are Special" song, it has been bringing me to tears lately. I'm deep in my feelings, & seeing these big football guys with the little humans, singing these words. you. are. special. www.misterrogers.org/videos/you-a...

taking a moment right now to say wow. what a football game. If Bo Nix had been at QB for Denver I think they may have won. No shade on Stidham. Big shoes to fill in a big game. I really love Mike Vrabel. He is the coach this team needed. He's like a Ted Lasso character. He Believes. Go Pats.

"His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead." bsky character limit won't allow me to post the whole text but... Joyce sits with me tonight.

Seth speaks for me. @matthewphillion.bsky.social

For the latest local coverage on the situation in Minneapolis, please follow the good people at Minnesota Public Radio's liveblog. www.mprnews.org/live-updates that's all i have the energy to say right now, as i sit here stunned.

the way this guy twists it. My officers took care of him, not his family, they refused to open the door and take him back. know why, asshole? Yeah you know why. I'm so sick of the mental gymnastics these people play. His family were bad guys but your KIDNAPPERS did nice things, fed him fast food.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen. Guster (i forget how many times) BNL (see above) Yes (5x) Genesis (4x but not with peter gabriel, sadly) Ghost (2x)

chuffed that i didn't know these blokes would be up in my office space and now i'm super sad. I need to take the day, maybe tomorrow, oh maybe all of next week off to weep.

this.

Yinz.... why the actual fuck is it only Thursday????

www.youtube.com/watch?v=h242... literally me right now.

Nailed it. McSweeney's for the win. i especially love the "...won't wait just a goddamn hour until you're there to help them..." part My mom's obsession with getting the trash out to the corner knows no fucking bounds. Already broke her hip once doing it. Will do it again without this bubble wrap

everyone should be reading Marisa. beyond disgusted by this. Arresting an elderly man after busting into his home. Taking him out WITHOUT ALLOWING HIM TO PUT ON CLOTHING, questioning him for hours, returning him home after finding fuck all nothing. 'he looks like another asian guy.' shitheels.

Bears... can they do it???!!!!!

I've done this before. I've gone to bed with a score like 3-24 or whatever in the past and woke up rather surprised. I don't think that's happening tomorrow morning. We'll see if I'm way wrong. good night friends.

just watched Death by Lightning on @netflix.com amazing performances by Matthew McFadyen, Nick Offerman & Michael Shannon, among others I'd heard a history podcast last week about Garfield's assassination. Guiteau gives of major "Stan" vibes, and Garfield should be remembered. we recommend!

I recently moved right into the shadow of the Shenandoah National Park, & then he sticks his mug on the 2026 pass but I can't put a @guster.bsky.social is for lovers sticker on his face (it'll void the pass).... How about I just fucking DON'T buy a national park pass after all until he's GONE. 1/3

over the last couple weeks, i've set up multiple Zoom meetings & sent out outlook invites. For at least 3 of them, I seemingly forgot to add the person I was inviting, so they didn't get the info. Not sure if my brain is doing this on purpose? Or I'm adding them and outlook is dropping them.

Dang diddly freaking steelers.

Mike Vrabel is a freaking class act of a coach. Something so beautiful about seeing him hug every single player after tonight's win. Showing love and emotion.... love to see it. Alright now I get to worry about tomorrow night's game. sigh.

I had a great trip but am happy to be home.

@somevelvetblog.bsky.social I am sorry for the Eagles loss.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social www.npr.org/2020/03/02/8... I was at his Tiny Desk in 2020. Listening to him do Masterpiece, Ripple, and Only a River.... thinking that Josh Ritter would die right then if he only knew. Bob was always my favorite member of the Dead. tonight is hard

absolutely devastated to hear that bob weir has passed away. He was always my favorite of the Dead. after seeing them so many times over the decades, I'm so very happy I got to see Dead & Co at the sphere a couple summers back. Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell...

www.npr.org/2026/01/06/n... Jeff Landry: "I want to talk to people who want an opportunity to improve the quality of life in Greenland." Dude. You're the Gov. of Louisiana. WHY NOT IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE IN YOUR STATE? jfc I'm so over these people.

Today's my son's 29th birthday. How'd that happen? When'd that happen? I adore him, as many of you know. We're not in the same place together today but send him a big cheers and best wishes in your heart. I'm looking forward to seeing him Sunday. This is from last year.

In the midst of all the Jan6 nonsense out there, I will be remiss if I do not tell you, dear reader, today is my good friend @amalkoff.bsky.social 's birthday. HBD, AM! As a timeline cleanse, I point you to her etsy shop. www.etsy.com/shop/TinType... Buy something. Bespoke, beautiful, perfect.

www.npr.org/2026/01/06/n... read the article, realize that this is an attack on literally a handful of women qualified enough, strong enough, who already have made the "male standards" cut.... and they can DISMANTLE certain people with little or no effort. This is shameful, but what else is new.

www.npr.org/sections/the... Everyone needs to watch this 26 min. long video. this was not a day of beauty where the protestors came with "love in their hearts." Remember this day forever. This is insurrection, and the fact all of this is being flushed from history and reality is wrong.

Left Maryland at 8:30 am with Jess. Got to mom's and after Jess left to continue their ride home I came over the 99 forbearance, buffalo tenders over salad, and the steelers game. Hoping for a Pittsburgh win, please please please.

www.npr.org/2026/01/03/g... for those not yet awake enough to be up to speed. We fucking just bombed a fucking country and captured their de facto leader. Because of course we did. We're starting a fucking WAR WITH VENEZUELA, kids.

Also, I'm just now catching up on what we've done overnight (doesn't every morning dawn a fresh and early delight of chaos and surprise) so... Since I've already gone on a fuck that guy journey: Fuck that other guy, the guy in charge, the people who are holding up our regime of terror.

Typically, I read & enjoy McSweeney's for the sharp jokey critique of our modern world. Festive gourds, fonts that have personality & big opinions Rarely does McSweeney's cut to the absolute goddamn truth in a non-humorist way. As the mom of a neurodivergent kid, I stand with Anaïs. Come with us.

I call this "pooped pittie pups after a rousing time at the dog park."

Dukes mayo bowl I get it. Mayo, it's the schtick. But oh my lort if I see one more person shootin' mayo into their mouths, I'll barf. And I am not watching when the winning coach gets doused with thousands of gallons of mayo. I'm out. Too bad because it's a fun game to watch.

My favorite rock star shares these wonderful suggestions for resolutions. Follow Brian's lead in 2026

Big vibe, big mood. Happy new year, pals.

cue my yearly feeling of dread that on Monday I'll finally get the 900 replies to all the helpdesk tickets I've been waiting to hear back from people on, and my life will be flooded and overwhelmed again. Enjoying today, and some peace before the storm.
