Missed out on Snocaps tix because Ticketmaster app (with me logged in and facially recognized) detected “suspicious activity” but I’m in Seattle and it’s Not Raining and the waterfront walkway is finished and that’s pretty great.

All grown up but I still can’t resist the lure of a Cute Sticker.

Ah yes, the sweet sounds of someone on the subway clipping their nails…

And yes, it’s incredibly simplistic and not kind to Indigenous people but I do enjoy the lyrics.

One of my SHR favorites. And very funny to see “Hamilton” and realize it’s the same king in both works.

Stayed up too late doing *whatever* on TikTok and went from Gaga clips and cute dog clips to content that was truly a bummer. Yes, I will be touching grass today. Gotta figure out that damn algorithm. Can’t be seeing depressing Hamster or Baby Content.

So that was… unexpectedly triggering. Brought me right back to being 20 and not in a good way. But if I hadn’t gone to the show I would have been upset with myself. And having a very exhausting day doesn’t make an outdoor GA show at night any better. But so it goes.

Well, I was hoping it would be funnier… Not quite there yet.

Falling into TikTok scrolling loops > all of a sudden seeing Righteous Gemstones content > Well, I guess it’s time to finally give that a go > my goodness, Walton Goggins.

Touché, neighborhood newsletter!

This episode and this article delighted me so, so much.

He means that they're both commonly associated with NYC, but they actually live in New Jersey.

Watching “Dept Q” and missing Scotland so seemed like the perfect time to open this.

Faaaaantastic news.

Tales from the M11 Bus: My driver this morning jumped out at one of the stops to take a picture with this guy, who was just walking up 9th Ave. The driver is a big fan!

Why yes, I AM almost 41.

Ugh, so much “if it bleeds, it leads” happening lately.

S7 was such a letdown after all of that.

(Hello from someone who found you through your great dog cartoon (“Mom… someone peed in my bed”)) S6 is so, so good. Box was so, so hate able.

Everything is Trash but this quote and this interview are really giving me life.

A fantastic, surprisingly inspiring interview. And a killer follow-up: “We … harnessed the renewable energy that is New York’s desire to hate some asshole.”

A tie among “Welcome back my friends”, “Centerfold”, and “Obla-di Obla-da.”

And maaaybe also make the stops every 5 blocks instead of 2-3?!

Yes, of course, "Democratic voters who live in the city he wants to run" like him, but should they be listened to? We asked a panel of 12 Trump voters from Nassau County to articulate their discomfort about a mysterious monster who might secretly want to steal their money and put them in work camps.

“This country will treat you like shit, but I gotta believe in it in some way, simply because all my favorite people, places and things are from here, and that's got to mean something.” … Thanks, @nygroove.nyc.

In my dreams, we’d also have the number of stops evaluated (Why every 3 blocks?! 5 might be better).

Absolutely infuriating.

When I was in Scotland, I encountered a singalong at a pub to the song. So fun!! And so interesting, the story about the re-record and the missing masters.

I am so, so, pleased with your #1!

Sigh, Leafs. … Now it’s on to rooting for the Stars.
