Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Got this in the mail today and very much looking forward to it: one of my favorite internet writers (and novelists! Based on the one so far anyway) on one of my Letterboxd 4 (and plus also @laurentheisen.bsky.social who’s pretty new to me and whom I’m looking forward to getting to know as well) 020

Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Even aside from the “Well, what were you expecting when you dressed that way?” nature of the argument, shouldn’t the galactic super AI brain company be able to see past a clever disguise? 000
Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The worst thing Hank Stram* ever did was introduce the word matriculate to the footballing public. *I don’t actually know much about Hank Stram. Maybe he did worse. But that part is pretty annoying. 111

Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I’m Peter, I work for the City of Austin, read books, and watch the football. I like it when it’s clear that a songwriter likes a word or a line so much they use it more than once: Michael Stipe and coriander, Ezra Koenig and “I don’t wanna live like this, but I don’t want to die” 010

Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Finished @alissawilkinson.bsky.social ‘s We Tell Ourselves Stories this morning. It’s great. To put too fine a point on it: It’s not “We tell ourselves stories to live” (complimentary). It’s “We tell ourselves stories” (derogatory). 120
Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Like America against Italy in Germany 2006. Which means Cabo Verde is 12-20 years from having an absolutely toxic discourse built up around its international soccer program 000

Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 03/07/2026A great use of the daily World Cup blog format from @jonawils.bsky.social yesterday: A Goal for Every Minute: jonawils.substack.com/p/a-world-cu...jonawils.substack.comA World Cup goal scored in each minuteInspired by the fear expressed on Football Cliches that hydration breaks mean no goals will ever be scored again in the 23rd and 68th minutes, the key World Cup goals for each minute 000
Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 30/06/2026I love telling people who rank within the top 0.5% of their job in the world how they could do their job better: “Ay, Dumfries, you gotta take that first time!” 000
Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 23/06/2026It’s my favorite English commenter tic — questioning anyone who puts thought and planning into their work. They’ve advanced so far in many ways, but there’s still some Shit 90s Football they hold dear 000

Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Chapter 3 of City of Quartz blew my mind b/c there are just so many god damned cities in Southern California and they were all created by neighborhood associations run by Christopher Lloyd in Who Framed Roger Rabbit 000

Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Started Middlemarch for the first time and Dorothea is already amazing. Sees Hooker and Milton as good matches. Anticipates the “it’s always two bitches saying exactly” tweet by a hundred and sixty years. 020
Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 26/04/2026My favorite players have been Spanish midfielders who play for Arsenal (Cesc and Cazorla). But my favorite *type* of player is a fullback who’s a flake. [This post prompted by once again watching Austin FC featuring Guilherme Biro.] I love those guys. 130

Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 23/03/2026I have a copy of this! I’ve got some old first editions (b/c I’m old myself) but am not a collector really, so I don’t know much about how to value these things. But I’m assuming I’ll be able to retire now? What with the Heated Rivalry bump? And the reissue? 000

Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 10/03/2026This is truly great. “A magical shambles” is a great phrase. The pinpoint description of what Busey delivers at his best. And a good, concise argument for how certain actors embody the nation’s identity 000
Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 08/03/2026I’m sorry but it’s been banging around my head for the past week and I should get it out before I get hurt: If he were an: NFL cornerback = Marquaine Mullin G League point guard = Mar’Kwane Mullins SEC baseball player = Marc Duane Mullin Ligue 1 winger = M’ Arquain Moulin WSL #10 = Marqua N’Mullin 000

Peter Partheymuller @partheymuller.bsky.social · 17/01/2026As someone raised Catholic, I don’t get to decide what’s favorable or unfavorable for my Jewish brothers and sisters.
