Why does Aaron Sorkin look like Lion-O left the Thundercats and became an entertainment lawyer?

Lynx about to get packed up but big shouts to Rookie of the Year Olivia Miles, the whole reason I watched more WNBA this season than any other prior.

Every single player that has touched the floor for the Fever tonight vs the Lynx has a +/- in the negative. Kelsey has a team high of 10 pts midway through the 3rd. The level of mollywhoppage happening right now is wild.

Happy 35th anniversary to Low End Theory. Happy 30th anniversary to Illadelph Halflife. I was two days away from turning 13 and 18, respectively, when these dropped. So much dropped in my early/late teens but I'm not sure any other albums would shape my taste more than these two right here.

You think Spirit Halloweens starting to sprout up and ppl already decorating their homes for spooky season in mid-September is bad? Turn on the Hallmark Channel right now and they'll have you believing that Christmas is next week.

As far as animated GIFs, this one is a top five all timer for me. Usually a reaction to someone f*cking around and finding out. Still don’t even know what it’s from. All I know is the search term is “welp sip” and it’s perfect.

I graduated college in 1999 and one of the courses for my BFA - Computer Graphics degree was Adobe Premiere 5.0. For my final project, I had to create a movie that showcased all my artwork and present it in the main auditorium. The fact that it's a free mobile app now blows me away.

Shouts to our middle-aged, chainsmoking neighbor Carol who knew my 15th b-day was coming up and asked "So whaddya want?" And w/o hesitation I replied "Buhloone Mindstate by De La Soul." She looked at me like I had two heads. But this woman drove to the mall and bought it for me. I'll never forget.

Aside from self-awareness going out the window and this being absolutely idiotic, I just also wanna share something from the full photo of this: Shaq, a 7'2" man who wears a size 22 shoe, is WEARING SHOES THAT ARE TOO BIG FOR HIM.
Shaquille O'Neal on stage wearing a pair of Reeboks are that too big for him.

I’m sorry but all of Ed Sheeran’s opening artists *and* backing band bouncing from the tour bc of his weak ass IG statement is objectively great and one of my favorite FAFOs of the year. At this point he might just wanna call up Justin Timberlake to beatbox for him.

I lived in Long Island during 9/11. I only knew one person that worked at the WTC—my uncle. He was at a Port Authority offsite in NJ that day for a training. The topic? Terrorism preparedness. I also remember the haunting visual of the Hicksville LIRR parking lot being completely full all night.

The last time a Black American man made a Grand Slam singles final was a gentleman by the name of MaliVai Washington (Wimbledon '96). Three decades later, we have Tiafoe vs Shelton in the #USOpen semis. @takashiversace.bsky.social breaks down the significance and excitement of it all.

The universe has gifted me w/ a lovely present on my b-day in the form of the premiere of the 52nd season of SNL. This date is also my wedding anniversary. My wife is gonna be ECSTATIC when she asks what we should do and I answer "Uhhh, how about we just stay in and order sushi?"
A screenshot of a story from Variety:

“Saturday Night Live” is returning for its 52nd season, and it will be a star-studded affair.

The sketch show announced that the season premiere, set to air on Sept. 26, will be hosted by Jalen Brunson, who recently led the New York Knicks to their first NBA Championship in 53 years, with music from popular K-pop group Katseye. Both Brunson and Katseye will be making their “SNL” debut.

Hey man, it’s almost 3am on the East Coast (already a record for the latest US Open match ever) and Shelton just smoked a 145 mph ace at Alcaraz. This is nuts.

He’s somewhat of an expert on controversial behavior. This is the same Kid Cudi that had M.I.A. open up for him on tour earlier this year knowing her track record and she lasted less than a week before she got on her BS and they had to toss her. (She sued him too lol.)
