Denmark Street in London is like this with a bunch of tiny shops stuffed to the rafters with guitars.

Weird fun fact: my dad used to work in the building that used to house the knitting factory where the Dude’s sweater was made in Winona, Minnesota, and they had a little display case with it along with some other memorabilia.

Display case featuring Jeff Bridges’ sweater from the movie “The Big Lebowski.”

Turandot is an opera about a prince who’s so terminally horny for a princess he’s never met that he willingly risks his life and let’s his… “servant” kill herself in order to protect him. It’s trashy as hell. (Also he lets his blind long-lost father wander off and seemingly doesn’t notice or care)

My local semi-pro summer league soccer team is sponsored by Culver’s, which I suppose means they’re like the Real Madrid of northern Illinois.

Two soccer kits for DeKalb County United featuring the kit sponsor of “Sycamore Culver’s” (not to be confused with those dirtbags over at DeKalb Culver’s).

Apparently they just got over it, because everyone tries to murder every once in a while?

You know from your own life experience that not all crimes are reported. In fact, it’s one of my basic beliefs that nearly everyone in America over the age of 50 has committed some kind of crime that could be punishable by prison - from drunk driving to battery - given the right judge. We moved on.

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social Fun fact: while Walker Texas Ranger did not have a spinoff, they did do a CW reboot of it. The only reason I know this is that the music store I used to work at was a filming location, and I got to spend half a day watching an extra mime playing a guitar upside down.

Film crew setting up a scene in a (still open for some reason) music store in Austin, Texas.

Extra faking playing a guitar upside down.

Oh god, it’s somehow actually worse than that.

My favorite is this fancy chocolate company that claims to make chocolates infused with 528hz. I prefer to imagine that there’s one guy in a room alone with a synthesizer and they wheel in trays of chocolate and he just holds down a C5 and blasts it with sine waves.

The Love Frequency Collection is an expression of the divine masculine and feminine, bioenergetics, and a series of tones used in Gregorian chants known as Solfeggio frequencies. These are sounds that have powerful healing properties. We brought the 528Hz frequency, known as “the love frequency,” or “miracle tone,” used to transform the heart into our kitchens. As the chocolates cooled, they were infused with this frequency. Love has been crystallized into this chocolate.

Yeah, my wife and I got a picture with George Washington when we went to the White House a few years ago. Those costumes look kind of gross up close.

Me and my wife with the Nats’ nightmare fuel George Washington mascot.

Yeah, I’m a fan.

In the most Wisconsin news ever, a microbrewery in Madison has invited the students to come play their concert there and has promised to donate ticket sales to the school’s music program.

Message from Minocqua Brewing Company to the students of Watertown High School: We invite the Watertown Wind Symphony to play their concert, in its entirety, in the beer garden of our Madison taproom. We will sell tickets to the show. All ticket sales will be donated to the music program for the school and we guarantee a minimum $1000 donation.
If this is something that the band wants to do, we ask a representative to email us at info@minocquabrewongcompany.com.

We received this guy as a surprise wedding gift from my best man. Sixteen years later and he’s still going strong (and I don’t talk to the best man anymore).

I mean, I once walked in on my cats doing this, so who the hell knows?

Donating to NIU for my wife with a little side of mascot slander, because Dub will always be inferior to the Goodest Boy in Illinois. @newap-georgia.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @jacketdan.bsky.social

Donation form with a text box reading “The trainer for the NIU mascot, Mission, knows the trainer for the Washington mascot and likes to give them shit because Dub is not a real husky (and malamutes are easier to train).
