Netflix paid millions of dollars for the Home Run Derby and I guess zero dollars on ideas to make it different or better than previous broadcasts. The lack of stats was definitely a choice.

The air conditioned bar was nice and the seats were okay too.

June: the music / the best plate I found.

That’s certainly one way to advertise your business.

After 18 years in six places in or just outside Boston today is day one in suburbia. I will miss the city. I will not miss my landlord. It doesn’t feel real yet. Excited to have a yard and some space and a pool. I already made a new friend.

Went to the zoo today. They still have Little Joe signs up and full price merch. “They’re taking advantage of his NIL!” - my wife

Jimmy Eat World. An objectively perfect band.

Computer… enhance.

“That’s an old-school light no one uses anymore,” Crewdson says. “It would be so easy to do that with AI or digital effects, but we made that.” Hell yeah, practical effects!

Google AI: I know which song that lyric is from! Here's a link to a completely different song by a different band!

[when I pull up behind Chappie at a red light] That’s Chappie

Third try… so close.

C-3PO!

I love Wilyer Abreu. He’s been one of the few Red Sox bright spots this year. I’ve noticed him going the other way a lot more (34% this year, 25% & 24% the last two years) and as a result his average has been hovering around .300.

Saw Howard Bryant talk to @kentremendous.bsky.social & @joeposnanski.com about their new book tonight at the Brattle Theater. Then they kicked us all out to show Desperately Seeking Susan.

Weekly grid. You can get weed at a drive thru now.

Stop a Waymo invasion with this one weird trick

Duran Duran

Special night with @kevinpdevine.bsky.social last night in Providence. Here’s his cover of “Rhode Island” by The Front Bottoms.

If Phoebe Bridgers is really playing places with significant historical extraterrestrial activity she should come to the White Mountains of New Hampshire in honor of Betty and Barney Hill.

Weekly grid. Flower phone.

Had a little sinus surgery this morning and got recreate this meme. I’ll spare you the photo. Looking forward to an end to constant headaches and maybe even breathing and sleeping normally for once.

“Nostalgia’s just fool’s gold…” The mighty @gladiephilly.bsky.social packed Deep Cuts on a Tuesday night. This band just keeps getting better.

I was curious. Jarren Duran doesn't hit it out to left very often.

Me and my friends are like: double whiskey, coke, fuck ICE. The Hold Steady “Constructive Summer” last night at The Sinclair.

This is what you want to see when you watch a movie
