Yeah Ruin the Friendship felt like a weird throwback, lyrically, until I realized she was ruminating on her way to the guy’s funeral. And if there’s ever a time to be nostalgic about the should’ve-beens of high school, that’s it.

I do all of these things, but without even having a husband! Like, sometimes people just have cozy hobbies.

NGL, I’d be offended at being bribed with sour cream & onion chips. Seems disrespectful.

The entirety of the 51st minute of the Amazon Prime broadcast of Spirit vs. Louisville in DC

Big shouts to @mikewattsonair.bsky.social and Lianne Sanderson for letting the crowd have that moment of airtime, however intentional or not it may have been

They’re very active on instagram — you could drop this in their inbox there and someone would likely see it.

There's a new podcast from @inquirer.com and Temple University that's taking a deep dive into the history of this awful event; it's well worth a listen: events.temple.edu/move-untangl...

Oh wow... I'm pretty sure I have a (nearly) complete set of SUNFIRE books stashed in my mom's attic. I'll have to dig them out next time I'm there. Maybe for a re-read, or maybe to sell, given the eBay price noted in this thread.

I was so excited to get to be there in person! And yeah, Knight definitely made a couple of saves he didn’t have to. He’s already going in the books as the tying goalie, might as well have gone the whole way.

Tonight is one of those nights where I just shake my head in amazement that I’ve gotten to watch Ovi’s entire career, and be present for so many outstanding moments. What a time to be a hockey fan in general and Caps fan in particular. #Caps #TheGr8Chase

If you’re deeply quiet-car committed, maybe 30 minutes to be at the front of the line. Otherwise 15 is plenty.

Ornate, vaulted ceiling with a cream base color and gold leaf coffers. At the bottom of the photo are four statues of Roman (maybe?) soldiers at the bottom of arch into the next area of the station.

Union Station’s arched, vaulted ceiling is one of my favorite things in DC. #arch #arches #blueskyartshow
