Remember kids: The Rays were the only MLB franchise to actively support LGBTQIA+ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ rights during Trump 1 with a 2019 amicus brief to the Supreme Court. Whereas the Yankees took a beat to memorialize Charlie Kirk… #TheMoreYouKnow

Listen, we should all absolutely deride the NPR guy for bad take on interview beverages. But I'll take this list of trending topics any day over whatever's happening elsewhere in the "marketplace of ideas."

I love watching Raphinha play. He was such a joy at #LUFC. But, brother, that ‘stache needs a discussion.

His grey beard does some nice work to bolster the eyes. I debated Marco Rose as a sort of German Maresca, but ultimately I’m a simple human. Xabi Alonso it is. The right combo of leading man with impeccable skills, a steely demeanor, but soft eyes.

Borrowing this from @definitelyjustbob.bsky.social. You look at that kind of spending and can only imagine that, eventually, people get so overwhelmed by the message you’re peddling that the vibes boomerang back in your face. I do believe most people hate bullies.

Joe Rogan calling Mayor Mamdani “a fucking psychopath” is s-tier head-in-your-ass-buy-my-peptides nonsense. I question the last time Rogan had a legitimate critical thought run across the deeply fried, wildly pampered, synapses of his brain.

So, Daniel, how would you describe your politics these days? “Ahem…” <taps sign>

So disappointed. Where’s *my* invitation? Clearly I’m not one of the cool kids. ☹️

Case in point, sperm racing has recently taken off in Silicon Valley. Yes, you read correctly. Instead of whipping out and measuring their schlongs, tech bros in San Francisco are masturbating into cups and then watching their sperm samples race across a lab-engineered racetrack to see whose swimmers are the fastest.

Nope. They’re cooking. We’re about to find out who their right-wing dislikes more: “immigrants” or Germans…😬

Well, in some amount of good news, I got this fantastic thing in the mail today. I’m calling it “Tears of the Sanguine Halibut”, or «Le Lacrime dell'Alobalone Sanguinante». Thank you @mostlyinane.quest 🐟💜

A beautiful painting of a halibut crying tears of blood. Possibly because England lost in such painful circumstances.

Excellent article. But give a raise to the editorial team that chose the headline and image.

The article is accompanied by a photo of a hand reaching for a roll of toilet paper.

This year's spread of Cyclospora - better known as the 'explosive diarrhea parasite' - is a symptom of federal budget cuts and a scary vision of how America deals with a health crisis in the future.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday to those who celebrate. My #lastfourwatched is a good look at my current psyche: aging professional dealing with irrelevance, condemning but also celebrating fame, consumerism and AI gone haywire, and zombies shot in potato-cam.

My last 4 watched:

Wall-E - 5 stars
Diego Maradona - 5 stars
Clouds of Sils Maria - 5 stars

But, why, Half Eaten Donut? Why? I have but only love in my heart. Unless you’re a Boston sports fan. Especially Celtics or Red Sox. And I don’t even support the Yankees anymore. But just on principle.

We saw #Rosalía last night. Damn. What a show. Included a very funny, very sweet moment with Chapell Roan and a confessional.

Fun note. Norwegian keeper Ørjan Nyland, arguably the player of the match, is sans team right now. Guessing that changes pretty soon. #BRANOR

Deeply insightful thread. Being of Italian descent, I’ve had people ask me: “Is this what your family is like?!” And I say, “Sort of, but you have to understand the heavy Nordic influence imbued in the film. Italians are far more subtle than this.” Literally one of my #Letterboxd top 4.

Every few years this photo makes the rounds. Usually - sadly - it means someone has died. But what a photo. This is one of my favorite bits from the Wikipedia article.

Saw Underworld last night. So many youths there enjoying the music. Felt self consciously old until a (had to be) 70 year old couple go dancing by me. The literal geriatrics were well represented.💜 #Underworld #SanFrancisco

It’s been a bit since my last #Hackers rewatch. But this post reminded me we deserve a Razor and Blade movie. After a chaotic 90s, one left the underground to work for Google. The other, so mad at their one time (romantic?) partner, dedicated their life to hacking them. They reunite to fight Mythos.

Razor and Blade from the movie Hackers. Icons.

I think Atleti winning the Champions League would jolt the planet back into its axis. Save the world, Diego. Save us all.

Athletic Madrid lost today to Barcelona, 2 to 1, but won the series by a 3 to 2 aggregate score. Atleti advance to the semifinal round.

Rewatched the match. Favorite think about Farke’s primal celebration is how quickly he recovers, shoves his team off him, and gets up gesturing they need to shake hands with the Man U staff. Love this dude. #LUFC

I made it onto an “AI-Hater” list. It felt like discovering someone put me on their secret “Poopy Heads” list in 1st grade. If any of you “ai researchers” want to hit me up, I’ve got useful thoughts. But if you’re just slinging bullshit about digital god, then assume the list is accurate.

I got added to the Anti-AI list. Apparently I’m an AI hater. Which… fair. But i don’t hate the tech, i just think the people running it are so full of shit.

When the children ask me how the revolution started, I’ll say, “In small, almost trivial ways at first. But then it grew on the backs of the early pioneers into something sustainable and beautiful.”

When you have the chance to hear music live, go. Get the least expensive ticket you need to. But go. Live performance remains undefeated. #NIN #SanFrancisco
