my guess for the show and bars and restaurants for the new Disney cruise ship they’re announcing this week: all Mr. Boogedy. why else would they reveal it in October?

FACT: Yoda is exactly as old as Hüsker Dü.

Filmed from March to September 1979 in Finse, Norway, and at Elstree Studios in England, The Empire Strikes Back …

while Hüsker Dü enjoyed hardcore punk in general, they never thought of themselves as exclusively a hardcore
group and that their name was an attempt to avoid being pigeonholed as such.
The band played their first gig on March 30, 1979, at Ron's Randolph Inn in St. Paul, a bar near the Macalester campus.

You can’t smoke a cigarette around a monkey.

I’ve read that capuchins in the wild vomit a lot. Was that something you experienced?
No. But in the wild, capuchins will take ants that have some sort of acid, mash them up, and rub them all over bodies. It’s thought to act like an insecticide. So in captivity, they’ll rip cigarettes out of your mouth and rub the tobacco all over their bodies. Onions, too. If you’re eating an onion, they’ll grab it and rub it. You can’t smoke a cigarette around a monkey.

who is your favorite Lagoon Goon? the bird playing a stick? the guy playing his nose as a horn? the OTHER guy playing his nose as a horn? the guy playing that guy’s belly as a drum? the alligator playing a bird? (I don’t know if the bird he is playing is technically a member or not.)

When I lived in Massachusetts you couldn’t buy beer on Memorial Day. so if your party ran out you’d have to drive to New Hampshire or Rhode Island to get more. the weirdest law.

AI Clippy isn't gonna work and is insulting and all of that, but also I've seen these Genspark lobster guys like 50 times during the playoffs this week and hate to admit that they're pretty adorable. will never use their product but would have welcomed them as a stuffed animal when I was a kid.

The owners of the "Let It Be" house (former Stinson family home) installed stain glass replicating the album cover in the pair of hooded windows just out of view on the album cover (if that makes sense). You can see them better in the alternate image on the cover of the 12" "I Will Dare" single.

The vertical black and white band photo of four young men sitting on a front porch roof with bedroom windows behind them shows a pair of arched windows behind a fire escape stair.

anyway if you ever want someone to write about wrestling and labor, well, i am very anxious about rent money, have organized a union, and know enough to not try to sell a story about two unrelated deaths (both of which we still have little information about) as a broader issue

Garrett Martin @garrettmartin.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

writers on the general "culture" beat love confidently writing about subjects they don't understand; I don't know if it happens with pro wrestling more than anything else or if it just feels that way because that's one of the things I'm into, but that piece going around today is as bad as they say.

I have discovered the best way to watch playoff baseball: watch your team take an early five run lead, watch Evil Dead 2 in its entirety, and then return to the game in time to watch your team close out the series.

I deleted my joke baseball post because it was unusually cruel and aggressive and unsporting of me. I’m not saying it was wrong, though.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
