I know a lot of people are sharing Beach Boys tunes, but this is my favorite late-career song by both these guys; I feel like a lot of folks didn't hear it at the time and it deserves more love. Crazy fun, absolute legends. RIP Brian Wilson youtu.be/IjvBmlg2HZ8?...

Incredible. Reads like a conversation with a complete sociopath who is also really, really lazy. amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-e...

Mountainhead is equal parts Silicon Valley (the show) and Dr. Strangelove. Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I always thought that when people said that our government was doing something "like you'd see in North Korea" that we all understood that to be derogatory. 🤷

I'm sorry I don't post more; I'm a pretty busy guy. Checking in to confirm I still like this place, it's pretty great, appreciate all of you!

I don't know how people feel about airing this stuff out publicly, BUT, I looked up my handle on Clearsky and... What the fuck? I don't know who I followed that made people upset (because it's definitely not my stupid, infrequent posting), but I don't like this one bit. Very disappointed.

I am an extra toasty cheez-it supremacist. I believe they should change the regular cheez-its to extra toasty, and the current regular cheez-its should be relabeled "underdone less flavor style"

I hope I'm never away from New England for so long that I become sentimental about our (inferior) Greek-style pizza. I love this place, but I refuse to harbor certain delusions. (Looking at you, too, candlepin...)

Win or lose, it's pretty telling that for all the bullshit, "influencer" is still a nonsense job that will only get you so far; no matter how much u hype it, you're still just some overpaid Internet dork making a lot of money to do what unmemorable boxers have done for 25 years- fight washed up Mike

Not trying to troll, genuinely curious: how is it that Chicagoans are said to hate ketchup on hot dogs because it overwhelms the hot dog flavor, yet a traditional Chicago-Style hot dog has many very strong flavors? Is this not hypocritical? Are they totally separate schools of thought?

Need one of those gimmicky electronic buttons that says things, specifically clips of Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit songs; nothing more dismissive than his signature "Shut The Fuck Up", this would sell huge amongst people who are 39

How has Supermarket Sweep not been successfully revived? Between the product placement and setting, shouldn't Mondelez or Kroger have made this work by now? Did I just give a horrible corporation an idea? Have I inadvertently made the world worse with my stray musings? I'm just asking questions.

One thing about this place that's different from the old place is that it feels like everyone is encouraged to contribute. It's like a responsibility; your skeets will be read and shared and your voice will be heard, so you should do your part to add to the content. That's very cool, but also, oh no

Saw a stat onscreen comparing Drake Maye's rushing yards to Steve Grogan; had no clue Grogan held records for being a rushing QB. Not asking for the 30 for 30 treatment, but c'mon, dude sounds amazing

In case anyone else has ever wondered whether Lou Bega intentionally used the name "Monica" in Mambo no. 5 after the Lewinsky scandal: Inconclusive. He's said on record that it wasn't intentional, but he may have been influenced by the news cycle. However, in my research, I found this fun quote:
