The books as Meyer credits both Muse and MCR as inspirations on top of dreaming about the story. She asked them to provide a song for the soundtrack for one of them and they wrote Vampire Money instead. Even deeper: 50 shades of grey was initially twilight inspired fanfic

They have a really cool history starting with 9/11 and culminating the reason why Twilight exists

There’s a series on TikTok where they rank the worst purple connections’ category and it’s extremely validating

Yeah absolutely. Neither of which I was alive or around for. And Not downplaying the Ms misery as an organization, just sharing my experience at the moment in time not seeing either of those series.

Jets for sure on top of all of those. Leafs at this point even though they have so much earlier success. Prior to the Phillies 2008 WS and super team build, I was present for their 10,000th franchise loss. That felt like the epitome of being a Philadelphia sports fan at the time.

You know, I typed that and immediately realized you would reference that…which totally checks out and I agree with your Mariners sentiment. I do believe the Ms have a way better long term sustainability vs the black hole that has been the Rockies since 2007

Rockies’ fandom which isn’t me, but attending those games and seeing diehards still committing is just impressive

Shameless plug of the the beefiest boys www.tiktok.com/@laszlo_stan...

How about Alamosa/Dunes? Feeling like we could luck out??

I can send you the boys (our cats) account if you want some good mindless cat tok

Counterpoint: 640pm start for me the next 3 days

That’s exactly what it is! Such a great coffee pastry

Maritozzis are my jam

Perfect bike ride into work this morning, but had a feeling with the gusts already. Good to know!
