lying in wait, ready to spring at any stupid thing i can deride as both cloying and anodyne. because my brain keeps trying to get me to use those words for things that are not cloying nor anodyne.

"He showed, too, an unconquerable reluctance to sit to a painter of a sculptor."

with the new springsteen song today i can't help but contemplate how atlantic city's opening line is such an insane combination of words.

"well they blew up the chicken man in philly last night" is like a fever dream, even knowing who the chicken man refers to.

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

Man…I’m just really freakin happy for Sam Darnold. We were in Arizona for his loss to the Rams last year—to go from that to this, and from castoff to the Super Bowl.

What an incredible journey. What a game. What a moment for him.

pathetic it took so long. moral failure. all that jazz. but at the very least people are waking up to it now, even if it took an embarrassing amount of time.

my bar has gotten so very low for the pundit class.
