Stay strong Chicago, miss being there but not really right now. I hope for your sake you're the temporary distraction.

So much of the #NBA this season has seemed to have been devised by the scheduling team on a weekend peyote retreat, but all 30 teams playing with 5 Western seeds TBD on the last day is a pretty watchable result... Enjoy it, childless #LeaguePass subscribers!

#NowPlaying: I know the consensus "classic run" of #StevieWonder albums begins with Music of My Mind in 72, but I think we can safely stretch it back to Signed Sealed in 70. Maybe not taken as seriously because of the corny cover or Obama associations? It opens with 4 absolute rippers, including...

I don't encourage participation in #Whamageddon, in fact I had to pull out my own copy tonight to end my own at an unconscionable December 14th. Guess I haven't been going into enough Walgreens this year.

The captions on the credits of an episode of English Teacher just asserted that the background vocals on She Drives Me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals go "She drives me crazy...CUCKOO ... Like no one else" and I'm outraged by how wrong that is, and that I didn't come up with it first

There's a bunch of stuff from my fantasy hoops group text that would do well to define my online bon-motism...

Hey, glad so many are joining this cocktail party and that it's groovy for a few minutes... Not really sure how I want to use it yet, maybe I'll just copy paste some things I almost-posted other places, or shit I said on group texts I thought was funny

When I pressed play on this, I joked/correctly predicted that the BBC anchor would say "TOO-PACK" but I was not prepared for their North American correspondent (from North America!) to say "SOOJE Knight." "Sooje!"
