i genuinely think google maps ruined the experience of driving—people think they’re entitled to get places in 21 minutes exactly or whatever the fuck the app says and they plan accordingly. leave a little early! take your time! chill!!!
I say this not even to scold bad drivers, but to help people life a more stress-free life:
If you stop worrying about driving as fast as you can and stop getting annoyed at other people on the road your life will improve dramatically. You'll get there fine, relax and listen to your favorite podcast

NBCS Boston‘s Celtics broadcasters are dunking on Milwaukee Bucks fans for not showing up tonight, but I wonder how these “make-up” games for NBA Cup crashouts might be undermined by being short-notice, unlike the other 80 games of the season

Tonight I heard Noah Kahan accurately hold the US soccer system to account that we’ll never win a men’s World Cup as long as we rely on pay-to-play academies
very woke take for a Chelsea supporter, love to hear it

So @bostonlegacyfc.com just signed BC's Sophia Lowenberg — also the scorer of arguably the best goal scored so far for the @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social women's team. One of the top 5 goals I saw live this year, no joke.

my work contracts have mostly wrapped for the year, and I'm taking this extra downtime to reset/rethink what I want to be doing professionally next year (which is to say, I'm job-hunting).

the one time I saw Jimmy Cliff was at Osheaga 2010, one of those festivals where there's two stages adjacent so you don't lose time to set changeovers. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes were going over their allotted time to play the ~worst song ever made~ and...

hilarious night for millennials tonight in the Fenway, which is giving early 00s suburban mall. Hot Topic to the left, Urban Outfitters to the right.

I don’t think Celtics “city jerseys” should exist, but if they must, they should do one patterned after the faux-stained glass drop ceiling at Sullivans Tap

FIFA opened the volunteer application portal.
FIFA gets: 48-64 hours of free labor
Volunteer gets: a shirt, a certificate, and (presumably mediocre) food
At minimum wage around Gillette Stadium, that's $720-960 of labor.
