NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE (2025) is hysterical. Needed a laugh this week

A strong start to Orioles RHP Zach Eflin's first game action since undergoing back surgery last August.

A 1-2-3 first inning vs. the Rays. Struck out Theo Gillen swinging and induced a pair of groundouts. 14 pitches, 8 strikes.

Velo is up on everything from his 2025 numbers.

I am pretty sure the archdiocese uses it as some kind of satellite building and occasionally they let people play music there? But idk that might be outdated

it’s only an echo chamber when it’s the left. when it’s the right they call it some bullshit like the Agora or the Town Square

Not making much progress on the bench, my sworn enemy

Back above 200 on the dead for 5s. We'll get back to 385 in no time. This has been your lifting update

Jackson was cooking when he wrote:
Across my home has grown the shadow
Of a cruel and senseless hand
Though in some strong hearts
The love and truth remain
And it has taken me this distance
And a woman's smile to learn
That my heart remains among them
And to them I must return

Corpus Christi next to MICA

When in doubt and in your feelings, take a walk to your favorite goth church

The statue of Edgar Allan Poe in the plaza at UB

When I am feeling completely insane and on the verge of an emotional breakdown I go to see the king of such things

"When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned" is another Leonard dagger to the chest

my barber likes my IG videos where i sing and let me tell you folks, flattery is how you earn loyal customers

Heston Kjerstad pack your bags buddy

Vance Honeycutt, Tar Heel and soon to be Oriole legend

The State, not all of the residents, to be clear

The existence of the State of Mississippi is a blight on the human race

He went down to Oxford Town
Guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown
Better get away from Oxford Town

Golf should only be played in Scotland and should only be played while wearing tweed. Why are you dressed in pepto bismol and baby puke green walking around Arizona playing a sport designed for a fucking bog

it's always funny to me when guys post the staged group photo of buddies playing golf and they're all leaning on their clubs like they're roaring 20s gangsters because there is not a softer activity in the world than playing golf

Have i seen Barry Manilow live? You're god damned right

AUSPICES by Anthony Hecht Cold, blustery cider weather, the flat fields Bleached pale as straw, the leaves, such as remain, Pumpkin or leather-brown. These are the wilds Of loneliness, huge, vacant, sour and plain. The sky is hourless dusk, portending rain. Or perhaps snow. This narrow footpath edges A small stand of scrub pine, warped as with pain, And baneberry lofts its little poisoned pledges. The footpath ends in a dried waterhole, Plastered with black like old tar-paper siding. The fearfullest desolations of the soul Image themselves as local and abiding. Even if I should get away from here My trouser legs are stuck with burrs and seeds, Grappled and spiked reminders of my fear, Standing alone among the beggarweeds.

Universe was probably trying to tell me something when the power went out as I was reading this poem
