RHCP are obnoxious in party song mode and at their best when they’re emotionally affecting (eg Soul To Squeeze), which is why I have Scar Tissue on my phone, and Steal My Sunshine is just a good song

My iTunes just shuffled from Steal My Sunshine to Scar Tissue, which I would bet my life was an exact ten minute block on WHFS in the summer of 1999

Nobody wins quite like a Philadelphia team, and nobody collapses on itself like a dying star quite like a Philadelphia team

They’re not going to trade him, but it’s wild as hell it’s even being rumored eight months after they won the fucking Super Bowl bsky.app/profile/dian...

The Eagles will continue to insist they have no plans to trade star receiver A.J. Brown.   

But one AFC GM I spoke with has his doubts.

Saturday morning

A guy taking a photo while lying on his bed of himself and his dog in the mirror

lol I wrote that and then got the year wrong (it’s 1981), really hoisted myself by my own petard

If you think you’ve got better things to do on this fine Saturday morning than to watch the Pee Wee Herman HBO special from 1984, guess what? You’re wrong, stupid youtu.be/VbhZZnIRPOI?...

The Pee-Wee Herman Show - Live at the Roxy Theater 1981

every Mariners team is inherently likeable but this one is unbelievably likeable

The History of the Seattle Mariners owns on its creative merits, and because it teaches us two important lessons: 1) the Republican Party sucks ass, and 2) fuck the motherfucking Yankees

If the Mariners win the World Series Criterion needs to put out a 4K of HISTORY OF THE SEATTLE MARINERS

Any World Series combination that does not involve the Dodgers would be extremely awesome

Condolences to my Tigers fan friends, they played their asses off in the postseason and will very likely be back again

swinging on a full count to win the series, I love this fucking game

A mutual just called this punishment, and I’m like what are you talking about! This isn’t June, one of these teams’ season ends when this game does

Just put on the 8/27/72 Dark Star, maybe the greatest Dead jam, wonder if the game will be over when THIS finishes (it’s about 32 minutes and segues into the funniest song imaginable)

Playoff baseball is so great because everyone is complaining about what is objectively a tremendously entertaining and exciting game because they start all these fucking games at night

god I’m glad I found you on here

A K (Bone Coloring, Silian Rail Font) @aklingus.bsky.social · 14h

to be clear: I would not bet on it, I just think it would be extremely funny

A K (Bone Coloring, Silian Rail Font) @aklingus.bsky.social · 14h

Harold Reynolds just relived both his playing and broadcasting careers

A K (Bone Coloring, Silian Rail Font) @aklingus.bsky.social · 14h

honestly how funny would it be if the winner of this game wins like 13-4 in Toronto on Sunday

You cannot ask for a better throw on a steal attempt than that. Think I’m gonna have to find another Dead jam to put on lol
