I’m thinking the dulcet tones of Pavement fill up this room at the Ryman Auditorium pretty nicely.
This photo of Agüero caught his virgin hair before he ever got on the hard stuff, but Fernando Torres and Sergio Agüero not only both had careers as legendary strikers for Atletico Madrid, but also when it came to hair bleach, they both pushed the limits to the extreme like Bodhi from Point Break. 🤙
Spotted on the streets of Reykjavik: Footballing for Argentina and Miami? Rock and rolling and GOAT-ing worldwide? Chicken sandwich making in Iceland? Please don’t ask me about the logistics, but LEO MESSI TRULY DOES IT ALL. ♥️🏆
No thanks, Burberry, I don’t need any Hero eau de parfum, tho this ad of Adam Driver frolicking and swimming with a horse and then morphing into a centaur over FKA twigs “Two Weeks,” I must say, is ~perfectly~ targeted to my (completely separate but not-altogether-unaligned, nerdy) reddit interests.
You know the “celebrity row” at this Knicks NBA Championship parade isn’t a psyop because Chris Rock is there and he both clearly doesn’t know how to hold a tote bag and is grinning at and high-fiving a cop.
Finally figured out ~precisely~ who Keisha Lance Bottoms* has always reminded me of, and hoooooly lol/lmao even
Utterly thrilled for everyone (except Goga Bitadze and Desmond Bane bc those kings deserve better). Let’s goooooo Pistons!
Lmaoooo I found it in my camera roll, and I remember it was a series. I only saved the first one to my camera roll, tho, so it has all my preface (yapping) remarks on the Dallas Mavericks v. Boston Celtics playoff matchup before the series began and Boston went on to win the 2024 NBA Championship.
Hah! Here’s my never-before-seen, irl shopping cart from that day (and that horrid place I utterly loathe having to shop at, even infrequently, and it’s even worse now):
my cat just told me she loves CJ McCollum but wants an Onyeka Okongwu jersey, and I told her, “CAA-CAAWWW” 🏀 🐈⬛ ♥️
Genuinely had no idea Bill Pullman’s ace son Lewis Pullman was a dead ringer for Danil Medvedev 🎾
This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me and Miss Rü Kitteridge the most recent cat image on your mobile device.
Yes, my sister, niece, and nephew are also hilarious, crowd-pleasing geniuses. 💚🤍🩵
The last time I saw David Byrne, we had a long, rad, wildly fun convo post-show in Athens, GA in 2001, during which l'd drank ~32-oz scotch + water and had been tossing 💵s w lil' ✍️💌s to him onstage. Love him so much + idk if l've ever seen two sweaty autistic ppl dance or laugh harder in my life. ♥️
Happy Thanksgiving from Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park in Macon, Georgia, site of the largest ever archeological dig in North America (thanks, FDR) and over 17,000 years of continuous human civilization. #AllThingsAreConnected

Still weary-Wojak-attached to my circa-1996 10th edition burgundy hardcover Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, and y’all can pry it from my cold, dead hands . . . but not today!

🎶 REAL THUGS GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR Hellooo, Heat Nation, it’s your resident Heat lifer and Hawks homer reporting live from State Farm Arena for Heat v. Hawks with a big ol’ Heat Culture CAA-CAAAWWWW 🦅 and alllllllllllll my beautiful sons. ♥️🔥
Just gonna randomly share a photo of one of my favorite late South American leaders, who was, quite notably, the 40th President of this (highly literate, well-educated, maté-all-the-time-chill🧉) progressive S American country while I (experimentally) lived there for a spell over a decade ago now. ♥️🇺🇾
Pavement kicked off their debut appearance at the historic Longhorn Ballroom for a rad and beautiful capacity crowd in Dallas, TX last night with an old family favorite. Here’s “Grounded” from Stephen Malkmus, Scott Kannberg, Mark Ibold, Bob Nastanovich, Steve West, and Rebecca Clay Cole, y’all. 🤠✌️
Welp, glad to see I didn’t miss a fucking beat being semi-offline for a couple of days, at least w regard to aux sturm und drang and the, ahem, amphibian meme people. Here’s a screenshot from Wed night of a convo w my homie in Greece. Was I perhaps erstwhile TOO online bc I nailed it immediately?
