it's very funny (read: stupid) to frame manchester city dismantling a rival as defiance or overcoming adversity when their ability to win a lot with squads that were constructed illegally is kinda the whole point of the scandal

There’s someone doing their recycling just outside my apartment who got to hear me scream in distress (three times) over what is happening in the Liverpool match.

I have such contempt for City. Every time I think about the cheating I get nauseated with anger.

They were jackhammering the pavement outside my window and they turned off the building water so I went and spent a truly absurd amount of time at the bird exhibit at the zoo since I wouldn’t be productive anyway. Also learned the mandarin word for duck is ya thanks to an adorable toddler.

Well that’s intrusive but also not exactly wrong (other than giving me a mysterious second household member).

My apartment is having a Halloween decorating contest and I was just explaining to someone that I bought a styrofoam head to paint like it’s decapitated and then add some rubber maggots and by her expression I’m going to have to dial my plans waaaaay back. Miscalculated the macabre level yet again.

My sister is absolutely cooking her brain on Threads but it’s mostly recycled Tumblr discourse that I’ve been ignoring for 20 years and I’m not changing that policy.

The closest I’ll ever come to parenting a teenager is gently pushing back with my elderly dad about his AI and TikTok usage and my mom about her excessive hours of TV (8 hours of MSNOW daily).

Started inappropriately laughing at this stunningly vague description of the Iraq War in the museum. I wonder how many hours of meetings were devoted to saying nothing.

Went to cooking demo/history of macaroni and cheese talk at American History museum, which featured a recipe for the most delicious mac I’ve ever had plus one of my favorite type of lecture interactions (historian gets politely furious when faced with popular swill misinformation)

Eventually realized that 50’s/60’s US (and probably an alarming amount of contemporary) education taught early history of the Americas as exploration not empire, so I backtracked to explaining the Spanish and Portuguese Empires.

My mother asked this morning why the Dutch settled in NYC, and I started explaining the Dutch-Portuguese War and the 80 Year War and Caribbean agriculture and prevailing trade winds like the living embodiment of the meme of the specialist overestimating general knowledge.

Scheduled my post-baseball Glenstone Museum day. My feelings about it are very mixed because as much as I enjoy the free art and nature, I can never shake the knowledge I’m on the compound of the ultra-rich with limited cell/wifi service and might be hunted for sport at any moment.

There are larger implications to the City story, but every time I read an update I flashback to those Klopp-era Liverpool teams that lost by one point and imagine a more timely points deduction punishment and I want to wander into the woods to let out the longest primal scream imaginable.

I used to work in ultra high net worth banking customer service and every tech billionaire had a 55-65 year old woman (always a woman, always in that age range) assistant who ran his life and he would scream at me when I « bothered » him by trying to confirm a $50,000,000 wire transfer she requested

This was unquestionably a successful season for the Nationals, who went from 66 wins and a -212 run differential to 77 wins and a +6 run differential. But it also could’ve been more, and they know it, which now fuels them heading into 2027. natsjournal.com/p/a-successf...

The Nationals made some major strides this season. They’re now determined to take it to the next level in 2027.

Perfect weather, a bananas game, couldn’t enjoy it like I should’ve thanks to that transphobic homophobic asshole but I have Sunday as I do over to savor the end of the season. On a positive note, I’ve always been a “pretty crier” so the usher saw me and went “wow you like great tonight!”

Deleted 1st attempt because I was so mad I didn’t check for typos -I got called a “he-she dyke bitch” plus had a bunch of anti-trans BS rhetoric screamed at me on the way to the metro going to a Nats game. Fuck everyone responsible for anti-trans hate. Going to try to not let it ruin my night.

I still have my 1990s-era librettos provided by Sound of Learning. I wouldn’t have gone to the opera if it wasn’t for the program and it made me a lifetime opera attendee.

Philly Opera letting public school students attend dress rehearsals was my intro to opera so I hope the Met lotto expands interest. FYI Family Circle tix are $47 and the view is fine so if you’re within day trip radius of NYC and opera-curious it’s a (relatively) reasonable night out.

It was just cool and dreary enough today that my autumn/winter brain kicked in to inform me 7 pm is now “in bed with a good book” and not “lounging by a pool listening to the baseball game” time. Just checked the Nats score and clearly I was right to embrace autumn.

Got to remember people aren’t acting irrationally, they simply don’t have the exact timing between trains memorized nor do they know which car allows for quickest transfer between lines. On a related note, I shouldn’t have to pay hundreds of dollars to get a neurodivergence diagnosis.

Everyone coming down the Capitol South escalator just looks at the delays and yells “Holy shit!” Again, this is on me for not checking if trains are running more than 20 minutes apart. My usual idea to bypass the Green on busier games by connecting at Metro Center via Capitol South has backfired.

Ran into another WFH person in my elevator who gave me a “Wow, you look cute today” and I am just wearing a Nats jersey and a pair of khaki shorts so I feel like I really need to up my normal daytime attire of baggy shorts and comic book/band t-shirt if this outfit merits a “Wow” in comparison.

I grew up with a TV that had no signal and could only be used with a VCR so we watched the same taped episode of Pinky and the Brain (a Third Man parody) over and over again plus a Philips CD-I with this one game which is why I am a geriatric millennial without pop culture knowledge.

My younger sister does blue collar work and doesn’t really know computers so I got an SOS from her that she couldn’t find evidence of the existence of our favorite childhood video game. In googling it for her I discovered that the 1993 Wacky World of Mini Golf game starred Eugene Levy.
