They've got a new clothing appraiser on Antiques Roadshow who appears to be 17 years old #childappraiser

Found out the Aussie A-League also features two NZ teams and was thinking man Perth to Auckland is a hell of an away game. Looked it up and is still only about 3/4 as far as Seattle-Miami lol

Wait fuck I thought I was the only one in the world who remembered this

A lot of people are going to post the sam darnold mono announcement or seeing ghosts quote (both great) but I'm going to be the only one posting Seahawks kicker quotes

Explaining very rationally and calmly to the dog that her laying horizontally across the center of the bed is not a suitable sleeping arrangement

There should be a phrase referring to how a game is playing out, which team seems to be winning regardless of score. And then someone should start a blog with that name

We are so progressive to atone for our original sin (Kristoffer Columbusson colonizing the Americas)

Tennis on

Get fucked wife-beater

Funny that Coco Gauff, who seems to come from a normal, upper middle class background, is an absolute broke girl compared to the rest of US women's tennis

God I forgot Medvedev won that one. The early 2020s US Open was so fucking weird lol

Young, educated, liberals from Western Europe hate Americans and associate us all with Republicans? Wow, new development. How will I recover from this?

I think it's either him or through some minor miracle Medvedev or Rublev fix their brains for several consecutive matches. If they weren't fully insane I feel like both could have several majors

So sick of ruud and rune. I've never felt for even a second that they were close to winning a major, even if they were in semis and finals

I agree on Fonseca, he might make a big leap. I've watched Fils a few times too and been unimpressed but I probably just caught him on bad days. Other than young guys (I like Tien a lot too) it's like Bublik I guess? Med or Rublev? Tiafoe or stef turn back the clock? Blah

I'm an ultra-casual and just peeked at the ATP rankings and other than Sinner and Alcaraz it's almost completely uninspiring. Unfortunately I don't see how zverev retires without ever winning a slam unless sinoraz win literally every one

When I enter her field of vision and I hear the dog thumping her tail excitedly against the couch... That's the good stuff. That's what it's all about

Sometimes at my most self-involved I find myself reading about polar explorers and being like "damn they're just like me for real"

Many, maybe problems, but they do genuinely want to keep to themselves. Amish 1, mormons 0

The way snakes move is probably the most beautiful, elegant form of locomotion ever evolved in nature. We should all be so lucky, to traverse the world with such grace

As a child growing up in the Midwest I thought mormons were like the Amish and as an adult living in the West the reality is significantly worse

They're fucking psychos lol

Flying from Seattle to Los Angeles in order to eventually make it to Florida...making progress

Watching NBC during Notre Dame football games is like watching North Korean state television

Overlaying maps of every city with a trader Joe's and every city with a winco to find places I'd consider living

Things change, players rise and decline, but right now it sure feels like Sinner and Alcatraz will just play each other in every grand slam final for the next 10 years

I'm certain I've looked it up before but I thought Ataturk was some kind of honorific. Turns out he was just named that. Another one for the file, along with Hedo Turkoglu, Arsene Wenger, and Italo Calvino

I've read roughly 4 of them and seen at least one movie but pretending you didn't understand an obvious Harry Potter reference is a top tier bit. Maybe your best bang for your buck for making other people feel foolish. Plus then you avoid a Harry Potter conversation

Where is its head?

Poem talk on the timeline today so posting one of my faves that isn't extremely famous. I don't know if a 20 line poem can have a twist but the ending here hits like a freight train
