The same day I got this, which is nice

Dave Thomas as Bob or Doug McKenzie, opening a beer.

But at least the congressman running for governor is taking it seriously

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· 26d

Can confirm

Righteous fury and a whole lot of joy. Cleveland, OH

Bruce Springsteen bathed in red and blue lights in Cleveland, Ohio.

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· May 20

That was special

Bruce Springsteen in Pittsburgh being a great American.

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· May 19

Because it’s only Tuesday and it’s already been an epically bad week, needed to drive to Pittsburgh

Time to get in the game. $70.21 (plus fees) to @newap-georgia.bsky.social in remembrance of my dad and the first Michigan game he took me to. Illinois jumped out to a 21-7 lead in 1981. Michigan scored 63 straight after that. Go Blue! @edsbs.bsky.social

Spencer Hall's pixelated self as a receipt for the $72.07 donated to New American Pathways and for all the good they do helping immigrants.

Stephen A., why I haven’t heard that name since …

Screenshot of Stephen A Smith being dead-ass wrong about the Michigan basketball team that won the NCAA title.

No kidding.

Screen shot that proves Google knows I visit the DTE outage map often. Which I do.

Hi Yaxel.

Michigan basketball player Yaxel Lendeborg in a white track suit in the back of a silver pickup truck. He’s super happy. He won a national championship. They’re having a parade.

Not a great sign when you’re sending this email and highlighting $49 lower bowl seats.

A photo of two Detroit Red Wings with the words Don’t Stop Believin’ … which seems more like the team pleading with fans, because the team has sucked for about six weeks.

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· Apr 7

That was unbearable. That was awesome. Go Blue!

A photo of a Michigan hat because we’re No. 1.

A note from vacation to say this book is fantastic.

A copy of the book “The Crazies: The cattleman, the wind prospector, and the war out west” by Amy Gamerman

A big time at Crisler today watching Michigan advance to the Sweet 16.

The kick ass Michigan women’s basketball team celebrates advancing to the Sweet 16.

Little pisses me off more than going to the DTE outage map and being taunted by how many people DO have power.

DTE, a power company, taunts you by telling you how many people have power when you go to get information on your outage. Currently 2.25 million people have their power on. Me and my neighbors are not among them.

Now, more hockey

$244 in fees for two tickets feels ... criminal?

a portion of a Ticketmaster receipt that itemizes extortion: Facility charge is $18 times two, Service Fee is $140.40 times two. That's $244.40 in fees for two concert tickets.

If you're going to send a fake invoice from "Acme Co." at least take a 30 seconds to design an anvil-shaped logo.

You know it’s a scam because my only camping suggestion is don’t go camping.

Some asshole texted me to say we had a great chat at Mike’s barbecue last week and my camping suggestions were fantastic. This is a photo of that message.

Once again failed miserably at a Ticketmaster presale

A computer screen showing that our hero once again failed to get anywhere close to the front of the queue in a Ticketmaster presale. This time for Harry Styles. Our hero’s child will be fine.

Got a plant for the office. It looks like it’s comforting another plant.

Retiring the first women’s number in school history.

Raising former Michigan star Diane Dietz’s No. 21 to the rafters at Crisler Arena.

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· Jan 3

Nice time right up until puck drop. Just a garbage effort from the Red Wings.

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· Jan 1

Kicking off the year with a photo of a hat from the hit television show Shoresy. It says Set the Tone.

Knockers Up

A Rusty Warren comedy record called Knockers Up.

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· Dec 30

Never heard either parent ever once even mention opera

An album called Caruso Operatic Rarities. There’s a photo of a man in an old suit and a bowler hat who looks like he’s about to send Indiana Jones to the other side of the world.

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· Dec 30

Listened to this all the time

A record of Michigan football radio highlights from the 1977, 1978 and 1979 seasons.

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· Dec 30

Remember this one though

Record called Elvis Sings for Children (and Grownups Too!). Center is a photo of Elvis with a microphone. Background is crayons and scribbles and those lousy scissors you have to use in elementary school.

Ryan White@thatryanwhite· Dec 30

Going through a couple of boxes of records from mom and dad’s place. No memory of this one.

A record called The Adventures of Luke Skywalker: The Empire Strikes Back. At the center of the cover is an illustration of Luke and Vader going at it with lightsabers. Vader looks way more athletic than he did in the movie.
