HOW
BOUT
THEM
MARINERSSSSSSSSSSS

I think my favorite thing about seeing a new PTA movie each time is still thinking about it the day after and having new thoughts and feelings about scenes and feeling the need to see it again very soon.

and both movies end with a dance lift

of course the mariners first ALDS game in 24 years at home should go into extra innings, we’ve been starved

whoa! good call joel

i will find the connection

lol well played

if you’re wondering if i’m the first person to watch One Battle After Another and Dirty Dancing in the same day, yes, I probably am. Sometimes it’s not your week to pick for family movie night

LETS DO THIS

that’s impossible because i remember skipping class after lunch in high school to go buy the double cassette of this at fred meyer, and that was only like a year ago and people still listen to cassette tapes

great list! Car has been my number one for three decades, and i have a soft spot for Fling as well (those strings!) but other than that, no notes :)

every day

very happy to have randomly come across this online recently. you can’t ever go wrong with this song, ever, but this one goes especially right

Imagine living in a world where you’ve convinced yourself that NPR, PBS, and Wikipedia are your enemies, viciously conspiring to fool you with their dastardly devotion to truth & fact checking.

I took probably too many words here to grapple with Paul Newman’s supposedly favorite role, Reggie Dunlop; what it means to be a good teacher; what it means to try to succeed in America; and how to subvert the systems that want to keep us down. Give it a read?

When Elizabeth pitches SLAP SHOT, you approve that pitch, always 🏒

Also, everyone deserves a teacher as wonderful as her, as her essay more than demonstrates!

A wonderful essay from Jonathan Biss, on how immersing ourselves deeply in a piece of music provides an antidote to the"avalanche of stimulus" modern life bombards us with:

"In our splintered, combustible world, this immersion is the path of most resistance, and a gift beyond words."

Opinion | Too Many Dings and Beeps? Try Beethoven.

"Instrumental music is not “about” anything. It stirs the emotions despite—or maybe because of—its inability to reference our lived experience in any literal way. A great performance of a great piece of music...takes us out of our heads & puts us in touch with our deepest, most inaccessible selves."

Didn’t know Kaleb Horton at all but long admired him from afar, and read him always. He had that rare combination of things you can’t teach a writer—talent, sure, but also deep curiosity, sensitivity, humor, a sharp eye & a voice that felt like he was sitting there talking to you. So sad he’s gone.

Well it’s not quite empty yet, we’ve still got my son here for another two years! So it’s a trio now instead of a quartet but the tradition continues :)

We’ve been doing this the past six years now and let me tell you, it’s one of the best decisions we ever made (ours is saturday nights though) and also one of the things i miss the most now that my daughter is off to college 🥹

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

RIP Kaleb Horton

Kimmel is back in Seattle.

He should never have been pulled from the air in the first place, but glad to see Sinclair reverse course. Thank you to all who spoke out for free speech.

It absolutely sucks that i have to explain to my kids (18 & 16) that none of this is normal and realizing that, for them, it basically is. This is the America they know.

"THE HISTORY OF THE SEATTLE MARINERS gestures to a world wherein the rules & rulings fundamentally don’t matter; to be alive amid them is enough & to make friction amid them divine. All the arbitrary rulings of a given reality fall to stupid joys, idiot glee rubbing up against deeply felt melancholy
