In Sámara Costa Rica walking to get beer and a mass of leathery Americans have congregated to listen to a guy struggle through Sultans of Swing. We really suck as a people lmao.

She sic on my semper til I tyrannis

Thanks, I was heavily leaning that way already. I’d love to get more engaged with local politics but I honestly didn’t even know there was an election next week until a canvasser for Rohit knocked on my door today.

Tbh I’m genuinely underinformed on both of them, I did some reading and their platforms seem to be “make things awesome for all!” Which I can definitely get behind. The question I return to is, which of them will make things awesomer?

Ah yes, the Randian Progressives.

Just kind of spitballing here… Bring back Freaknik during the World Cup.

Having friends in the food service industry in Atlanta is the closest I’ll ever come to feeling like a billionaire.

I’d even go far as to say, “yuck-o bucko!”

Shrimp. Really the only poop we’re willing to eat. Has a little tail. Fun.

I had the same thought earlier but I had zero chance of articulating it like you.

Glenwood Kroger is one missed truck away from throwing the greater Grant Park area into a complete societal collapse.

I know it's a bit down the list here, but "sacrifice" being the stand-in for having to work weekends/holidays is amusing.

“Mr. President, we all know what a great builder you are, what would it take to build inside of a hell hole?”

High 2 Low was good and weird and cool and sometimes bad. Spike Lee was on his normal maniac shit making me believe he had lost it for the first 40 minutes. So different from Kurosawa’s that it defies any comparison. Dude truly hates Boston. A$AP Rocky had an impressive performance.

I just really love a haunting jingle. Need more of them tbqh.

Very big into this Mac DeMarco to Mac MeDarko pipeline. New album sounds like it's gonna go crazy.

Miso-Honey Chicken and Asparagus (Published 2023)

cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023... was a no-frills, ez banger tho.

Man, NYT cannot keep starting asian-inspired recipes with "miso-honey..." It's 2025, we can't be doing this guys.

Me at my little computer job 🤗

Philly been without a J. Martinez for too long now.

Thank you for all the talkin’! We had an awesome time and look forward to the next episode (whenever it’s ready of course!). Hope you can visit again.

Stuff sucks sometimes, stay sunny ☀️

It’s treading water but it’s lost some of the luster. Including Primera or Brazil Serie A into it would definitely be interesting as a viewer, but not sure it’s feasible from a financial standpoint. I do think CONCACAF/CONMEBOL could both benefit from some kind of intercontinental league tournament.

Nice digs!

A. You just fail (learn) a lot after the first one. That will ultimately make the big idea game better.

Eldis planned this one.

This really captures the fan experience this season.

Today I said, “heads up, buddy” to Greg Sestero for slow-walking directly in front of me, head buried in his phone. (I really had to piss).

Dropping the hammer (derogatory).
