"Insults" from the internet that apparently I'm supposed to take offense to: - "Nice shirt." - "You write about bobsledding." - "Your favorite baseball team is a minor league team." - "Your favorite football team is a CFL team." All just statements of fact, really.

I got my flu vaccination yesterday. And a bandaid. In the same general area.

A thread on the sunken Egyptian city of Thonis-Heracleion, a real-life Atlantis.

A thread-of-threads on my research into the ruined places of the world, the abandoned ruins of modernity, interesting historical knowledge I've come across, and strange parts of history I find fascinating.

You know what I always say. NTL. Never Trust Libertarians. I always say that. Don't trust search results, just trust me (I am not a Libertarian).

Once again, this is why I live in Durham. Where it’s safe.

"...[Stayin' Alive], that song fucks. Makin' It does not fuck."

wendy's gave me this long ass spoon with my jr frosty and i cant stop twirling it like a knife in my fingers call me the fixer i fix your freezer by removing ice cream based obstacles

“Hours-long standoff” oh that’s the dying of boredom in Cary from that thing we used to say

Once again, this is why I live in Durham. Where it’s safe.

Me, watching "Waterworld":

I already yelled about this in the comments but I'm still mad EQUINOX JUST MEANS A DAY WITH AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF DAYLIGHT AND DARKNESS. A CONJUNCTION LIKE THIS IS CALLED A SYZYGY WHICH IS A COOLER WORD ANYWAY CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS RIGHT THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Man, if he starts to suck any more F1 is going to ask him to be the grand marshal of the race in Las Vegas.

One of the things I aspire to most is to make people feel seen in my writing. Four years ago today, my unhinged (barely hinged?) ode to the New York Mets dropped and it is one of my enduring cultural ciphers and I still hear about it from random people.

it sounds contradictory but it's really not. They say "Protect" bc they see women's sports as a cute charity for little girls rather than legit competitions people care about and strive for. They're always baffled when they show up at women's sports and find people who actually care about the games

I’ve gone through one of these as of this morning.

This summer was not ideal and I did not get nearly as much website stuff done as I’d hoped. Further, there’s a couple life things staring me down that will inevitably make this sliding season tough at some point But season 15 for me starts in a month and I’m gonna do my best to keep doing what I do

Knicks in 5?

Me, all CFL season:

Newly added to the "Carolina's Greatest Hits" station playlist is "All Around the World" by Lisa Stansfield. I don't know if a song from 1990 counts as the '80s or the '90s, but I can undoubtedly say it's better than 99 percent of the songs from the 2020s.

I hope everyone enjoyed the Sophie Cunningham Ted Cruz race today

Even SMI didn't get Sophie Cunningham for their races. SMI, the same people who have had races recently sponsored by the NRA, hasn't done that. So that's where F1 is.

Sean Payton should simply call the 60 yard Bo Nix TD run on every play
