Listen to “Taxes” by Geese Geese’s new album Getting Killed will make you feel alive. Their standout single “Taxes” is an exhale you didn’t know you were holding.

The only two certainties in life are Getting Killed and “Taxes”.

End of Watch: Uni Watch (1999–2025) A look back at Uni Watch (1999–2025), the pioneering blog that chronicled the design and culture of sports uniforms for more than two decades.

Paying my respects this Sunday. Without Uni Watch, who else will point out that the Blue Jays didn't have a uniform belt color last night and that might actually be the real reason they lost?

Dodger Stadium is TOO LOUD We took some very unscientific decibel readings at Dodger Stadium and confirmed what every fan knows—it’s too loud. The 100 dB sound system isn’t exciting—it’s excruciating.

Going to a game at Dodger Stadium doesn’t feel like going to a baseball game—it feels like going to the taping of a game show where during commercial breaks they play a little baseball.

Edward Sharpe is not "stomp clap hey ho" music Edward Sharpe’s “Home” isn’t the worst song ever. It's overplayed—and it’s not even stomp clap hey ho to begin with.

I used to call this genre sole music as it had everything to do with the sole of your shoe and nothing to do with soul music. But I guess people prefer “stomp clap hey ho” because they're too homophonophobic.

The data shows that if Trump wanted easy wins on crime, he’d start in red states If Trump truly wanted to fight crime, the data shows the easier path runs through red states with sympathetic governors — but politics and payback lead him to blue ones.

If Trump wanted easy wins on crime, the data shows he should send the National Guard to red states.

7 of the Top 10 murderiest cities are conveniently located in Trump-friendly states with Republican governors.

Born to Run at 50 and the album Springsteen nearly released instead For Born To Run’s 50th, Springsteen released “Lonely Night in the Park” — a 1975 outtake that almost changed the album’s tracklist and sequencing.

Join me in the impossible task of imagining if “Lonely Night in the Park” was included on Born to Run.

Apparently, erotic Harry Potter fan fiction is taking over the world. I haven't read any yet, but I’m sure they’re having a great time with word “Hogwarts.”

Is the internet becoming too gitty? There are few places in this world that are more infuriating to visit than GitHub. I’d rather do anything than spend time on GitHub. I’d rather get my te...

Maybe I just took a wrong turn. But it feels like there’s this creeping expectation that everyday internet users need to learn dev tools and terminology just to function online. But don’t take my word for it—just ask @forkmaster.repoman@mastodon.fart.
