Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 11hThe thing that's nice about pickleball is that you can play doubles basically all night before you're too tired to keep going or you can play about 80% of one singles match. Something for everybody 000
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 11hVery nice kid. We played another game to 5 and then talked for a while before we each left. Then I had to sit in the minivan for like 10 minutes before I had the energy to turn the key 110
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 11hTook a college freshman who ran track in high school to 11-8 in pickleball singles before my lungs exploded... after getting married, having kids, and the EarthBound Handbook, the signal achievement of my life 150
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 22hGreat day for it too... did not realize Sock Heaven was what I needed until the little opening fanfare reminded me of it, but by the time it hit the breakdown near the end my morning was completely restored. Thank you, arcane label reasons 010
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 22hStreaming is in general the graveyard of fun ways to bump into songs, but I do enjoy when an album is pulled for arcane label reasons, I forget about it, and then without warning it's back in my likes. Suddenly reintroduced to Steve Taylor's "Squint" today when Sock Heaven hit the van at max volumeyoutube.comSock HeavenYouTube video by Steve Taylor - Topic 100
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Very happy for you, dishwashers are a huge quality of life upgrade 110
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Really the list is 1. Cotillion [gap] 2-9. Frederica, Sprig Muslin, The Corinthian, Friday's Child, The Unknown Ajax, The Reluctant Widow, The Foundling, The Convenient Marriage, but that's fine. Most people don't even write Cotillion once 000
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That one is a self-indulgent attempt to follow the rules of the exercise, but this one is a valuable public service: The nine best Georgette Heyer novels in order. If you have watched the 1995 Pride & Prejudice more than twice you are the audience for this list and it could save your life 120
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026"Books" is too big a category to really put things into so I stuck to literary fiction and went in rough biographical order, so you can watch my transformation from teenaged would-be novelist to middle-aged Victorian 170

Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There was a vacuum museum over in that direction that I thought about visiting a couple of times, but Google has informed me that it closed... unfortunate 010
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026While I can only rank it the second-best Springfield, I respect wanting to move to be closer to a museum. (In the interest of fairness I have to also give them credit for managing to keep a minor league baseball team, unlike my Springfield.) 120
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think that might have been a year or two earlier 100
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I am shocked to learn that it hit 10 on the Hot 100... my Memory was that every single one of those ex-boy-band singles from when I was in junior high and high school got on TRL, possibly sold some HitClips, and did nothing else 220
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It's one of the most transparent and ridiculous "I'm a grownup now" songs of all time, but Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are going nuts on "Give It To You" by Jordan Knight... not going to dig up my Rhythm Nation thread but this timely observation about pop music is spiritually a part of that 130
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Couldn't just post four. Here is the complete list from the essential-if-you-are-reading-the-book-to-your-inquisitive-child Wayside School Wiki wayside-school.fandom.com/wiki/Satoshi... 030
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Lately I've been doing a lot of posts about stuff I would like to enlarge and hang at my desk but it's not my fault, the world is constantly confronting me with new and beautiful images. So: these illustrations from the Japanese Wayside School translation (by Satoshi Kitamura) 140
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Bonus Asian market car ad... this one played nonstop when Lindsay was studying abroad in Japan (right before I met her) and the jingle was a major earworm for her even years later. Might hit her with it tomorrow... Maybe I can make it my phone alarm youtu.be/3sHOzvwcczc?...youtu.be2005 Toyota Passo CMYouTube video by IwataKana 010

Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Was looking for a chance to admire the Kia logo from before they came to America that looks like it belongs to a mall and it took me to these two commercials, which I am now sharing with you youtu.be/Csf0JN1mPkY?...youtu.beKia Pride good person, good car 30-second commercial (South Korea, 1990)YouTube video by Green X_ 141

Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Need to print a huge copy of this to hang in my cubicle 121
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 02/10/2026My relationship to R.E.M. is that I watched a lot of VH1 as a cool ~12–16-year-old, and because I was very afraid of my peers I always pulled for bands and pop acts who were on the edge of washed up. So "Bad Day" might be the R.E.M. song I've heard most. Almost definitely had the video on iTunes 030
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The recent R.E.M. discourse had me pull up "Bad Day" and the verse that's kind of "beneath this staid decorum there's some hinky stuff going on!" stopped me in my tracks.

Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The Liberty Biberty postseason ad... horrendous. If you're making a Special Sports Playoffs commercial referencing the sport I want to see some money on the screen. Show me a real ballpark, film it outdoors, put some players in there, etc. It's a special occasion 010
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Watching Yankees-Red Sox. TikTok is running a slow, landscape-orientation commercial with lots of empty air between words, a normal amount of cutting, and human speech patterns... interesting! Interesting interesting interesting interesting interesting interesting interesting 010

Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We finished A Wrinkle in Time and when Meg realized that she had to love Charles Wallace rather than hate IT and Charles started walking toward her Nancy said "Yeah yeah yeah!!!!" Totally psyched... she's got a loft bed, and from the chair where I read to her I saw her fist shoot up over the railing 160

Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If you're collecting the George Foreman grills that look like iMacs you need to get out to the Goodwill where I buy all my button-downs as soon as possible 091
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Some kind of lavender lemonade thing, great anniversary-with-kids foofy drink. Lindsay has no faith in her phone camera so I'm just off-screen having a great time in basically all our family photos. They're going to have to Photoshop me into the wedding slideshows 010
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Hey happy anniversary! Would not have picked the children's museum as our main event if we were alone but they didn't get into a single fight there so that's a huge anniversary gift 120
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 28/09/202612th anniversary today... I'm not in the picture because we don't have a sitter but take my word for it I have been around the whole time 4190
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Freddy is Heyer's greatest creation. Enormous shame that she didn't put him to work solving mysteries after he successfully got everybody married off in "Cotillion" 000
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I remember getting stopped in my tracks by a song at the mall and then trying to loiter inconspicuously outside of the too-cool store where it was playing while catching enough lyrics that I could later ask about it on IRC. Operation failed 140
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I thought "huh, the camera really loves their drummer, especially relative to the rest of the band" and I guess I saw the same thing as the members of Sigue Sigue Sputnik 010
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Every couple of years I get really fascinated by Big Audio Dynamite as an artifact for one day... the "Rush" video is composed entirely of parts of 1991 that did not make it back for the early 90s fashion revival www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h8z...youtube.comBig Audio Dynamite - RushYouTube video by bigaudiodynamiteVEVO 100

Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I knew that there was nothing to Alleyway, but the logo, cover art, and Nintendo's decision to give it a very evocative name always made me a little jealous of my friends who had it 120

Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Pinkerton being 30 years old does not feel crazy to me, but I am unnerved by Pinkerton Deluxe and those forum arguments being older now (16) than Pinkerton was when it came out (14). That one hits 000
Endless Dan Moore @dpmoore.bsky.social · 24/09/2026There were a lot of arguments on the Weezer forums about whether (and where) Rivers had made any 2010 overdubs on these... I can't say I care now but this one feels pretty clearly 1996.
