and it would be great

i say this as someone who likes his music, but George Ezra sings like a friendly monster

Like tell me that ISN’T the voice that would come out of sully from monsters inc if he joins your friends at bar karaoke

Yoshinobu Yamamoto:

it just so happened my mom showed up to visit me at my college dorm seconds after I did this and I was feeling unwell while trying to hold a normal conversation (also worth noting I was completely sober and aware when I did this, just truly forgot how to think)

sprayed perfume directly into my mouth thinking it was breath spray (the bottles didn’t even look the same) and oh man did that burn

When your teacher leaves the answers on the board

my favorite will forever be the toddler who dressed as “pants” for halloween

me, obnoxiously hipsterly, to any new listeners now that Tame Impala has entered the mainstream:

“Hey did you know Tame Impala is ONE GUY named Kevin”

I thought the “group 7” thing was about the enneagram until just now

all it takes is one tiny hint of a chill in the air and boom, i’m in a knit sweater listening to sufjan stevens feeling like a little bear in a whimsical cartoon preparing for hibernation

i will force the fall vibes if i have to

idk if it’s even unhinged but I just don’t think children’s authors get enough credit or are taken seriously enough

some of the most skilled authors write children’s novels with kid narrators because I think it’s actually much more difficult as an adult to put yourself in kid-brain-mode again than it is to write in the style of adult literary classics. it requires an admirable level of empathy and understanding

A reminder that Penn State’s mascot tucks its scarf into its neck.

I have a clear memory of yell-singing “all star” by smash mouth into my karaoke machine mic when I was about 5 years old while my dad was on the phone with my grandma and I think I owe a belated apology to my family for this obnoxious behavior, but man was I having fun

the billboard top 10 the week mike gundy was hired at oklahoma state

Just saw a submitted question to the AP Stylebook asking if it’s OK to say AI on first reference since everyone knows what it means now and my brain went “but what if you’re talking about Allen Iverson” … I might be writing research-based articles now but nothing can truly erase my sportsbrain

why is google docs giving me ideas for a tongue-in-cheek name for a rock band that’s like blink-182 but women

shout-out to the local coffee shop playing nothing but the best tame impala bangers to keep me locked in on work on this Wednesday afternoon

this brain is running on London Fog and Kevin Parker

Great story, McClain!

About once a year I go through a random phase where I rediscover Kevin Olusola’s celloboxing videos and looping covers, and they’re all I can listen to for a little while. This is one of those times. In some ways, I have not changed since high school

caught up on Abbott Elementary this week and absolutely lost it at Jacob screaming karaoke to “Last Resort.” I don’t know what song I expected, but it was not that. 😭

a handsome dachshund in a light green harness stands outside on a cafe patio with little metal chairs in the background. the dog’s fur is a fascinating medley of colors: his back is dappled black and gray, his chest and belly are white, his legs are brown, and his face is an almost even split between black/brown and white. the white side of his face is showing more toward the camera. also two of his visible paws are white, but one is solid brown.

This is Theo. He is a beautiful pup with a unique coat, which helps distract from the fact that he is missing a sock. 13/10

a spectacular crescent of golden-brown wrinkles is laying atop a soft, lime green blanket. each of the precious rolls from one end to the other no doubt came from an elaborate and precise lamination process and not just a casual plop. some might see what they believe is a shar pei puppy, but that can’t be it.

We only rate dogs. This is a very cuddly croissant. We understand the confusion between puppies and pastries, but please only send dogs. Thank you... 12/10

I cannot WAIT to listen to this one.

The Less I Know The Better.

love listening to a new song for 16 hours straight and sucking all the emotional nutrients out of it like a capri sun

disappointing

you know all-star weekend has arrived when people start posting nostalgic zach lavine and aaron gordon videos and mac mcclung suddenly emerges like the groundhog

Something about Mac McClung reminds me of Barney Stinson, which makes it hilarious when he throws down dunks like he does.
