The dumbest-but-also-most-important thing I would do with a time machine would be to travel back to the 20s & 30s and convince the pioneers of hard-boiled detective fiction to open every chapter with a timestamp.

As a white man, I hate AI for appropriating my culture of being confidently wrong about things while using Reddit as a primary source.

Most boring soccer springs from the same fountain as the most boring everything else.

Today I'm thinking about one of my all-time favorite song titles.

I think that's definitely part of it; the other part is that for the five-ish years that we've lived here, she's had a weird fixation on Jules. For a while, she was dumping coffee on parked cars and telling people Jules was doing it. We've never really understood it because we don't talk to her.

A fun thing that’s happening is that a neighbor is sending anonymous* voice messages to the Latino families on our block telling them my wife called ICE on them and that they should move immediately.

*Anonymous except for the fact that she has no idea how to conceal her phone number.

This is laser accurate.

I’m pretty sure Books Inc got their “oldest independent bookseller in the west” tagline when they bought out some other bookstore. It’s only fair that the title goes to B&N now.

Also, his failure as a national team coach was overstated! Tournaments are chaotic!

One of my favorite things to see when I open a novel for the first time.

I bet a good 90% of Fisher Stevens's falling-asleep intrusive thoughts are about that movie.

(I’m sure this has been pointed out many times, but I love how much of 20th century science fiction was about people not believing their robots have feelings when it turns out the exact opposite is the problem.)

Lack of emotion?

I remember “They’re not there to watch the game” being the complaint A’s fans had about Giants fans as long as 20 years ago. Maybe it’s something about the venue.

Washington Spirit AND Bay FC fans, let’s chant “Free DC” tomorrow at Oracle Park at the 51st minute to show solidarity! Spread the word. 🫶🏽⚽️

so you wanna get into american soccer

Found this one on Tubi the other day after having forgotten that existed and that I used to rent it weekly when I was a kid.

Can’t wait to see all those ministry hearings and subcommittee meetings presented in such clarity and vibrance.

…set by the Chicago Stars AND…?

It’s all inside a black box, so who really knows, but I’ve assumed the continued addiction to rookie signings is because it’s all they can afford for the time being.

…which takes YEARS.

Sometimes I think my heart would be able to handle Bay fandom better if they HADN'T made the playoffs last year—I let myself believe the hype without much evidence. "Internationally known club" is a fun goal, but it's also pretty vague. Maybe something more tangible, like, say, building a roster…

A room full of guys who turned 13 and decided that was as far as they needed to go.

Good thinking to avoid all that bad weather by playing a summer schedule.

Oh man, multiverses are so cool!

It’s good that ALIEN: EARTH ignores a bunch of lore that I only know from, like, game books and fan wikis because it means I can purge that clutter from my brain. A reminder that I really shouldn’t be hanging onto it in the first place.

Hocking's run of goals vs. Feuz's self-satisfaction is my favorite rivalry in sports right now.

The talk of the town, apparently.

Continuing to win in every measurable way except the real one.
