I’m not mad, I’m not even disappointed. It just is…Perhaps the Knicks will (finally) live up to their potential.

A little Television for @ptrq.bsky.social. This Jazzmaster is in desperate need of fresh strings and a setup. I’ll do that this weekend…

A lot of people got dogs during COVID and never trained them. Bringing an unruly or straight up untrained dog into restaurants or stores is a problem waiting to happen.

Abusing the Americans with Disabilities Act to bring your pet into bars, restaurants, and grocery stores is tacky. sfstandard.com/2025/10/08/d...

Dogs in restaurants? It’s getting hairy

In a city where canines aren’t just pets but children, the opinions over where they belong is fierce.

The government’s been shutdown for a week. Has Mark Cuban posted unsolicited advice for furloughed federal employees yet?

I still have no idea if I’m essential or non-essential. Anyway this political brinksmanship is an insult to every federal employee who has taken the Oath of Office.

Federal employees should never be used as political pawns in shutdown negotiations.

Doesn’t the homeboy look like Eric Cantona. I know dude is a Liverpool supporter, but COME ON! The resemblance is uncanny.

Old Clip Thursday and what I stated in the group chat is essentially my El Toro. I want to go back and get it. Dunno if I can. I know it's only three stairs.

I’m just a boy, standing in front of a hotel manager, asking where the hell I’m supposed to plug in this iron.

A lot of hotels carry soap or body wash with all types of perfumes, etc. If you have sensitive skin, it can be a proper nightmare. Real ones bring their own plain, regular-degular soap. Good on you, Waldo 🫡

I recently read a comment on a music blog that referred to The XX as “Sonny & Cher for Millennials.” Being a music snob is about to come roaring back into fashion.

Easily the most uninspiring Coachella lineup in recent memory. Playing it safe for the influencers.
