i think george lucas might have been reading lord of the rings when he made the first star wars films. because obviously “frodo” rhymes with “yodo.” and like frodo, yodo was a short little hero who carried a mystical glowing sword. kind of a cool tip of the cap from lucas there

i'm sorry but dish soap tastes terrible

went on a podcast

i recently saw a movie in which some of the characters turned out to be pretty stupid, and it got me thinking. do you think there are any stupid people in real life

check it out — it’s a late-night post from jon

watching baseball @jonbois.bsky.social

whenever i watch formula one i can't help but think of some ways i would optimize the sport. for instance, i think they should mount a fifth tire in the center of the undercarriage that's set about three inches lower than the other tires. they need to slow this sport down and add a little wobble

you don't see nba teams run the Little King defense anymore. in the '90s you'd see teams sub in a really small guy. they'd lift him up and set him up on the top of their goal and he'd just sit there a while. eventually he'd start crying and they'd have to get him down but it was cute while it lasted

my sportscenter co-anchor: wnba action tonight, season's in full swing. jon, you know what they call it when the indiana "fever" play the atlanta "dream"? me: basketball game co-anchor: no me: what is basketball game co-anchor: correct! me: potent potables, $200 co-anchor: wow that's a great deal

last night's playoff game between new york and indiana may have been game one, but for the pacers and their fans, it was "game won." alright i'm gonna go talk a walk around the neighborhood and see if i can steal some of my neighbors' mail. back later

would anyone like to discuss mlb regular season standings

the nfl should adopt a rollover guys rule that lets you put fewer than 11 guys on the field for any given snap and save those allotted guys for a future play of your choosing. so you could take a knee with 4 guys on first through third downs and then run a 32-guy offense on fourth down

ate some breakfast

@jonbois.bsky.social - you got a nice shout-out on the Ms broadcast tonight!

it's the great potato chip debate! what's your favorite flavor of potato chips?

the blue check means i'm doing a good job at posting. if you're wondering why you don't have one, you shouldn't feel bad about it. it's not a reflection on you personally. the most likely reason is that you're capitalizing and punctuating too often

If you want to reply to the latest @jonbois.bsky.social post, just add it here and Venmo me $200 and then I’ll text it to him

there's a small subset of people here who are driven mad whenever they aren't allowed to quote or reply to something. they think everything they see on their phone is their property and they just short-circuit. they'll bust through the floorboards to yell at you. it's really something to see

hello 👋 professional writer here. it's fine to use "your" and "you're" interchangeably. most readers will understand what you're trying to say either way, and you shouldn't have to placate people who won't read between the lines

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?" Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

one interesting thing about watching the wnba is that unlike in the nba, they don't shout "NBA!!!" before taking a shot. they just shoot it

New personal ideology just dropped

pretty good, episode 18: "GOD HATES A COWARD" brought to you by our patreon subscribers, now free-to-watch for everybody on youtube youtu.be/lOR_45wZL2I?...

working on stuff

it looks like superman will soon be flying off the comic book pages — and onto the silver screen

hey just a heads up, your phone battery's at 8%. might wanna charge it

if you have any interest in being a ballplayer, give an mlb team a ring. they're so hard up for players these days that a guy recently showed up with just one baseball glove and they still signed him. he can't even lobster-catch, he has to one-glove it out there. so like i said: give them a call

[struggling to remember what knicks fans say] beep beep

i absolutely do believe that the nba is rigged on some level. just look at the game that's on right now. all the refs are there. the ball's obviously just been inflated. the goals are set up. there's a knicks logo on the floor. they've been planning to play this game for days

got something special for our patreon members today. for about 45 minutes i played a bunch of my favorite tracks i've used in my products and added some commentary. hope you enjoy the Secret Base Radio Music Program www.patreon.com/posts/128759...

if they’re going to have a mother’s day then they should have a father’s day too. it’s not fair

i like what the knicks have been doing on defense. the sooner they score, the sooner the ref lets you have the ball, arguably the most valuable item in the game

i was playing basketball with my buddy and he just could not miss a shot, didn’t matter where he was on the floor. he must have shot 20 for 20. after the game, for no real reason, he picked up the ball and flung it backwards over his head, easily 40 feet in the air and 40 feet from the goal. swish

my lasting memory of Derek Carr will always be this moment from @jonbois.bsky.social and @secretbase.bsky.social’s excellent Falcons series
