Yall, of all the bad news today, Catherine O’Hara is really hitting harder than anything. I’ll always love her performances.

Loved watching the Pacers tonight. That’s more like it.

Indianapolis friends that have to drive! This map is invaluable and nobody seems to know about it!

I don’t know how to be a fan of a college sports team that I love 2026.

I’m so happy.

Never daunted.

The Pacers deciding not to compete tonight is hard to stomach. Look, I know the Pistons are good. I get doing it. But to completely capitulate before the tip is a middle finger in the face of the fans. I was there. In a pacers sweatshirt. I bought those tickets weeks ago.

IU has won as many bowl games in the past two weeks as they won during the 44 years prior.

Let’s focus on {my} 2025 positives:

- I’m gonna be an uncle
- spurs won a trophy
- pacers were 3 quarters away from the title
- colts were fun for half a season
- McLaren won
- Pato brought a knife to a knife fight.

Anderson and Andy make me so happy on this night and I know it’s cliche and I don’t care.

Is there an accent on cliche? Cliché?

I’m gonna buy a car from the first dealership that shows me an ad without the namesake owner in it.

Say what you want about IU, we won the sartorial matchup and we don’t compete for stickers.

You guys. The band Heart is so fucking good.

Yall don’t celebrate them enough.

The pacers were finally fun to watch again tonight.

I admit to being suckered into a show called “animals on drugs,” seeing that S1E1 was called “cocaine hippos” and smashing the play button. This is 2025 without sports.

Super happy for bucks fans tonight. November buzzer-beater against the pacers g-league team must feel really vindicating.

The youth need better lyrics like “I’m trying high upon a deep depression”

Shout out to Garbage for that.

Any nationally relevant conversation about American football starts in Indiana right now and that’s weird.

Can’t tell yall how much I’ve loved watching this fever team come together and fight through this season.

I’m curious to learn what the letterhead is on the contract, if Rinus signs with Foyt. Does Penske do that to Dave? If not, how is Foyt paying two drivers?

My mrs just determined that the baddest-ass person ever was probably the one who said, about 30,000 years ago, “you know what? That wolf over there looks like we could be friends.”

Couldn’t agree more.

You guys, INXS is so fucking good.

That’s all.

My wife and I are trying to map the golden girls onto the beatles and so far all we can do is rose=ringo.

@daralind.bsky.social perfectly summed up what I couldn't emotionally sort out with this awesome piece in the Star today. Thank you.

The people being scared out of public life by ICE are some of the most visible fans at every IndyCar race.

Not sure if this is disingenuous, desperate, or dumb in light of the past two days.
