The fact that Aaron Rodgers won't just go away is terribly emblematic of early 2026.

Still recoagulating. Last night's 3rd set of Phish was peak choreographed overstimulation with a serious dose of improv jamming (Tweezer, Piper). I feel full and off to a wildly fulfilling start to 2026*

Whatever the Phish NYE gag is, it seems to involve a lot of taped positioning on this front stage at MSG.

Happy 10 year anniversary my best selfie ever, and my last New Year's concert attended (until tonight).

Last night was so fun in Sec. 223. My fascination with Madison Square Garden keeps growing after my first visit. Got a kick out of Trey's sike out ending after Cavern before ripping into First Tube. Ruby Waves could/should've stretched out for 30+. Can't wait for tonight!

Flying cross-country to MSG for the first time. It’s been 30+ years since I last saw Phish on a holiday — 10/31/95 — and I cannot wait to set foot on hallowed ground. Living the dream!

Hubble has imaged the largest planet-forming disk ever seen! At 400 billion miles wide, it is roughly 40 times the diameter of our solar system. The disk is unexpectedly chaotic and turbulent, offering new insights into how planetary systems form: https://bit.ly/477sQ9b 🔭 🧪

Concerning to see police and fire oddly stationed by the Chicago river in the Lincoln Yards wasteland south of Cortland, helicopter audible above. Seeing no news/tweets, hopefully they’re just testing lights 🙏

I am welcoming advice on YEMSG tickets and any sections to avoid. Phish tix only came thru with the 30th for me, so I need the 29th and 31st. Sound quality > sight lines. Do prices usually fall or rise over the next week?
This will be my first time in MSG after decades seeing shows at 150+ venues!

This is like straight-reporting that every state now begins with the Trump- prefix: Trumpbraska, Trumpabama, Trumpizona, etc. Authoritarianism much, NPR?
The arts institution will be called the Trump-Kennedy Center. The president's press secretary said it comes after a unanimous vote by the center's board, which Trump took over earlier this year. n.pr/4qhD3bd

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers
