have we forgotten so quickly how fucking awesome that 18-inning World Series game was

anyway, 1982 Eric would have been all kinds of hype about a Seattle-Toronto ALCS, so lfg

Sorry for yelling, Siri.
Siri warning me about a loud environment (95 decibels) which is entirely my fault.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

This is the way.
My adopted stone at the club, red 5 on sheet 5 (a vice stone, of course). Inscription: YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT THE STONES IN ORDER EVERY END.

KC gets it. 🥌
Between ends, don't bother to put all the stones in perfect order. That can wait until the game is over. Between ends, just get them moved out of the way and keep the game going.

First time down here in awhile.

So I went down to the WW1 museum a few Memorial Day weekends ago, and when I got back to the car a random well wisher from the KC club saw my @curlaksarben.bsky.social sticker and left a nice note on my windshield. They’re good like that.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it
One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way. What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money. Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight. To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.
