I’m not much of a Springsteen fan, but Nebraska is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Electric Nebraska makes my skin crawl. Just a really unpleasant listening experience.

You don’t have to read Ezra Klein. You don’t have to subscribe to the Times or the Post or any crypto-con media outlet.

Stop reading shitty media just because those outlets used to mean something.

I have to admit: an article highlighting the risk lanternflies are posing to Virginia’s wine industry is not going to encourage me to stomp them.

My most radical opinion is that the Dbacks should be the Padres’ primary rival, because fuck zonies.
My most radical opinion is that California should build a wall along the Arizona border

By this logic, Professor Bagley would be perfectly fine with a Michigan state court ruling made in Detroit having no effect or power in Grand Rapids or Traverse City.

The Federal system has been rendered powerless by this decision. Thought exercise it all you want, that’s the alpha and omega of it.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called yesterday's decision about nationwide injunctions "an existential threat to the rule of law."

She's mistaken.

It’s pretty fucking sad how apropos this piece is in 2025, fully four years since I wrote it.

I have this weird compulsion where every time I hear Nautical Disaster by the Tragically Hip I immediately have to listen to it again.

Anyone else have this with a specific song?

Excited to see what Robert Hassell III can do in the Bigs.

Also excited to see if he props his hat on the tippy top of his head in games the way he does in photos.

One of the wildest press releases I’ve ever seen, given the context, and it’s about Padres legend El Sexy Time!

Jonathan Cannon: 5 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 0 HR, 60 of 88 pitches for strikes, with 21 called strikes/whiffs.

The young man pitched better than his line. But this land is cursed by the sins that secured its purchase, and misery and woe are the only crops that can be harvested from its soil.

this is maybe the stupidest idea i've ever had but i genuinely think a way to save video game journalism/media is a print-only monthly magazine

I was really excited for @dancarlin.bsky.social’s show with Mike Rowe. I didn’t know much about him beyond Dirty Jobs.

Turns out, when Mike Rowe speaks the person he most reminds me of is Homi Bhabha. What a disappointment.
