Look, I know I’m pretty old, but kids and young adults really do not understand what WiFi is

Pitchfork giving this Worldpeace DMT LP Best New Music is some real mp3 blog throwback energy. I’m all for it.

Is Coyote vs. Acme the best movie you’ve seen this year or is it the best movie you’ve seen in your entire life? Because you have seen it, right?

@iancohen.bsky.social Ralph Sampsonwe to college at UVA but he was born in and went to high school in Harrisonburg. Dogwood Tales got it right. Album’s great, too.

I don’t know who else is listening to this Parts & Labor album Set of All Sets but I think it’s the best thing they’ve ever done. I just can’t stop listening to it, esp on a run. It doesn’t really sound like music from a Bill and Ted movie, but “most triumphant” is the only way to describe it.

Listen to Andres Cantor’s call of the last ~25 minutes of the Argentina-England semifinal (including handshakes after the whistle). Such a pleasure to witness someone be so good at something and love it so much. It might not hit the same if you don’t speak Spanish, but I bet it at least sorta does.

Commentary: I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

Having the World Cup in the US just feels wrong because as an American it is my birthright to watch soccer at odd hours when I’m supposed to asleep and/or at work, and never during the evening prime time hours.

New paradox just dropped: Organization Without a Cool Acronym and Organization With a Cool Acronym are both OWCA. Hinges on the age old question: is OWCA a cool acronym? Maj Monogram clearly thinks it’s not, but can he be so sure?

OG really has some Starks in him. Love it when a guy just goes at Wemby. Either you make a great play or he does. Really helps if you as strong OG is of course. Makes for good basketball.

The Knicks should change their name back to the Knickerbockers.

Ted Chiang essay on AI (actually LLMs) and consciousness. Incredibly well done. If you spend any time thinking about this you should read it. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

I need a wheel barrow, so I put it in my stuff to buy list in the iOS to do app. The list is labeled a “Groceries” list per Apple’s convention, because that’s most of what I usually need to buy. The app helpfully suggests moving the wheel barrow to the breads and cereals section.

Kinda wanna get a haircut, but that feels like committing to haircuts for the rest of my life, and I’m not into that. Sorta getting sick of the long hair though.

Latter-day Saint (Mormon) church buildings do not have basements because the church teaches that the Adversary has power over all caves, caverns, holes, and deep places in the earth.

This is how he’s always operated. He’d rather live in a world where the entire economy is worth a hundred dollars and he has ninety nine of them than one where it’s worth ten thousand but he has two thousand. Rich isn’t good enough, it’s more important to be more rich than more people.

You know what ruled was when the “Two of Us” sync dropped in Projects Hail Mary. Is that my favorite Beatles song? Maybe. Deep emotions.

5 jobs I’ve had: 1) bureaucratic fatcat 2) heavy stuff carrier 3) forklift operator 4) trees and shrubs guy 5) library page

Sometimes you listen to an album you haven’t listened to in years and you don’t remember that you really listened to it that much back in the day but it turns out you know it like the back of your hand and it’s like an old friend and it’s even better than you remember. Re: The Format - Dog Problems

Focus Friend is good and all but the prospect of “pedantic phylogeny in sports reporting” is the @hankgreen.bsky.social innovation of 2025 that I’m most excited about, cock blarnet!

The best version of “Streets of Baltimore” is the Bobby Bare one, even if I came to know the song via Evan Dando’s cover and Gram Parsons who is one of my faves did it.

Stores are selling all sorts of weird freeze dried candy like skittles and starbursts but what I want are the ropes of skittles or sour patch kids or peanut butter cups that come out of the hydraulic press on the hydraulic press channel on instagram. Somebody sell that stuff.

Here’s the thing about guys like Trump and Elon: they’d rather be in a world where there’s a hundred dollars to go round and they have ninety nine of them than be in a world where there’s a thousand dollars to go around and they have five hundred of them.

Spent last week in Minnesota and listened to The Loon by Tapes ‘n Tapes on the flight in the state’s honor. Good record. Holds up. Listened to some other MN stuff too that also holds up but nobody’s forgetting about those bands.

@stevenhyden.bsky.social Spent my Presidents’ Day sitting on my back patio listening to MJ Lenderman, Taper’s Choice, and Sturgill Simpson shows real loud on Nugs.net. I know the weather’s not ready for that where you are, but if you ever come to Phoenix in the winter, lemme know.

Mitski’s best song still. One of the best songs of its year, decade, century etc. That she hasn’t topped it or come close is not a slight against what she’s done since. This song is just on another level. In another universe. In another timeline.

Seriously why do I eat so many chips

Every boy should have to get a Cole Palmer haircut once in their life

Mk.gee’s songs all sound really good—great drums, guitar work, etc. but I never remember the songs at all afterward. They’re just there. All vibes. And I like vibes, esp these vibes. But it just seems background music. “Breakthespell” is a pretty good “Sweet Jane” interpolation though.

The new Ringer website is just awful. There’s such a thing as too much information density, but there reverse is also true. I can scroll up and down, or let the tiles scroll but by the time I’m ready to click on a story (which I can only see 3 or 4 of) it’s auto side scrolling to the next topic. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

How is it possible that Emiliano Martinez both one of the best goalkeepers in the world and also one of the absolute worst, most absent-minded professional athletes on the planet?

Nobody probably remembers this but Dreamers of the Ghetto was a good band that made a great album called Enemy/Lover. Still sounds great.

Obviously a solo Kim Deal record was going to be good, but this good? I don’t know man. It’s just exquisite.
