@howtosurvive.bsky.social HTS, I have a treat for you, or maybe not. I'm listening to this week's episode and Lady Baby came up. While you probably won't like the music, may I present to you Ladybaby. youtu.be/M8-vje-bq9c?...

I am distraught of all the things, the many things This is not what I was taught Can we stop playing capture the flag When everybody's caught? You can do what you want, but do you do what you ought?

I have a feeling that we missed the signal when Lynyrd Skynyrd told us that Watergate did not bother them.

Tired does not begin to describe The lengths at which the diatribe Has taken on a whole new elaborate meaning Hidden behind this false facade What you become and who you are Waking up and still thinking that you're dreaming Bonus points for getting the Pink Floyd reference. 😃

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

Not sure if this will work, but hey Holiday Season and all. A band I was in called Miami Christ did a Christmas album around 2006, and this is my favorite thing from that. #silentnight www.facebook.com/share/v/18MC...

Happy Holidays! 🤣🤣🤣
