Die! Die! Die! opened for Wolfmother and had some real horror stories about it when I saw them shortly after.

I’ve never heard WM to this day and never need to.

Go Blue Jays!

I have so many Dodgers friends, but my heart will always be with the K-Jays, and subsequently the Blue Jays.

I feared this was going to happen. CBS Mornings is the most positive, diverse, and inclusive morning show on TV. I don’t watch a lot of it, but it’s on while I drink my pre-commute coffee.

I figured Weiss would ruin it, and here we are.

I wonder if they also tried to get Blink-CLXXXII and Greek Day on this bill?

Just to make it weird, I would’ve thrown country artist Vince Gilgamesh into the mix.

To be clear… I’m all for the song with the lyrics as is.

But humor, mythology, and nuance are very threatening to a tiny number of people who unfortunately have the ear of our state political super-majority.

Based on the book ban criteria, this song should probably be banned from schools.

I mean, the song is super problematic if you read the verses.

Trans-species dating.
Consuming moonshine.
Disappearing federal agents.

Molly, a transplant, was baffled they were teaching it in elementary school.

I was like… yeah, in 5th grade I had to write why they got their corn from a jar.

FWIW, I’ve got a couple of rugby balls and she practices and I retrieve/catch and toss them back.

Our problem is really space, IMHO. We have to go to a park to get a large enough area to really kick.

But yeah, you really need lots of balls or someone getting them for you if you only have a few.

Thanks for the response. We’ve watched a bunch of videos and we both understand it, but that bounce and then the change in timing versus a punt is confounding.

I’m hoping her coach follows through on a weekend kicking clinic - would love to see her develop into a great kicker!

Since you’re on a kicking analysis… err, kick, I’ll comment that I’ve been working with my kid how to punt and how to do a drop kick for rugby.

Punting is going well for both of us, especially following your tips.

But that drop kick is HARD to learn.

Curious if you’ve ever done a drop kick.

Green Tour.

I was chaperoning my younger step brother. We had great seats, but they played a run of slower downer songs and had these visuals of fish or something and the next thing I know there’s applause and I’d been out for 2-3 minutes.

Stone cold sober. 🀷

This is probably going to end our aquaintenceship, but I detest REM.

I once slept through a concert if theirs. It was soooo boooorrrring.

Sure, sure, but everyone knows Rivian doesn’t do CarPlay/Android Auto so it’s a non-starter for 90% of potential E-Bike buyers who comment on posts.

Drove the convertible this AM and took a picture that is now missing.

So here is what the alt text would’ve been:

Photo from the driver’s perspective of a red convertible showing dash, steering wheel, and open roof looking down a busy urban street as leaves fall. The dash shows that it is 41F.

Your last point is the crux of it for me. They made music for the kind of people who listen to their stereo system, but not the music coming out of it.

Yet, unlike Esquivel who also made music for stereo system ppl, they are boring AF.

TBH, I kind of prefer the British version or the Aisha version over the Drew version.

Proud of these kids.

I found a lot of great music thanks to a dumbass pastor who made a list of music that would turn your kids into gay satanists.

Teenage me was all β€œHuh, that sounds interesting” and I’m a smarter/better human for having found that stuff.

I’m conflicted. I’m Southern, from East TN and it’s THE SOUTH.

But… I would argue that West TN is very Midwestern and perhaps even Middle TN.

And South Carolina is Midwest?!? They state dish has grits. GRITS!!!!

My friend’s kid was born with a heart defect and hit their lifetime max by age 2(!!!). Their dad started job shopping to get different insurance and reset the lifetime max for his kid.

Nobody remembers how absolutely over the barrel we all were pre-ACA.

If a company is going to use stored dates of past purchases, they should probably do a transform to a more human-friendly format on their data exports.

β€œWoke panic” is simply the new β€œSatanic panic.” A lot of bluster and energy put into being afraid of things they simply don’t like or understand.
