Thanks!

Glad to know that it wasn't just me. Thanks for the tips!

I couldn't get Grande and Max on the 98.5 app yesterday. (Had to settle for a spotty stream via Puffer TV.) Is this going to be the case every time the C's are on ABC?

Strus. Get over being cut, man -- you've more than landed on your feet.

πŸ˜‚ I think soccer player haircuts are also forbidden if you're over 40, right?

Even if i wanted a mullet, i don't think I'd want to justify it (or anything else) with "Mel Gibson did it..."

Maybe there wasn't on Friday, but now there is? (Or maybe there's always was! We could have been Mazzulla'd.)

@johnkaralis.com I think my kids have listened to too much Locked on Celtics. Not only do they clap for Tom Westerholm, but they've both opted for Hugo GonzΓ‘lez jerseys over any other options. (This is fine by me, but I don't talk Hugo up to them enough to explain it any other way.)

This was the Netflix algorithm for me: FRANCES HA was the universal recommendation. "You liked APOCALYPSE NOW? You'll love FRANCES HA!" Eventually I watched it to try and thwart the algorithm and while i didn't love it, I did like it (though not for the same reasons I liked APOCALYPSE NOW).

Kurt Elling once pointed out that it's got a kind of creepy verse:

"I don't need your photograph
To put by my bed
Your picture is always in my head
I don't need your portrait, dear, to call you to mind.
For sleeping or waking, dear, I find..."

I'm not surprised. We learned about the Hornets when Grant hip-checked JT.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is a lovely tribute to him.

Hey, they tell you to forget it right at the end.

I have to admit that while I like the bit, Mr Bucket is nightmare fuel for me* and so I haven't lingered to read the copy.

* The face on the bucket is upsetting enough, but what's up with his hands? They don't seem fully 3D? Or bend in ways they shouldn't?

I'd love to know when the last time something like that happened was. Dick Lipe isn't on here, is he?

02.03.2026 03:55 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

He goes with some regularity, doesn't he?

I think the C's can hold on tonight. But looking at how short a lot of these 3s are, I think it's very possible that tomorrow night's game is even uglier than expected. (Why are the scheduled losses always in Milwaukee?)

Was Friday the first time Drew used that one?

It's fun seeing Drummond hit 3s. But it's really fun watching him play at old man speed. He moves exactly as fast as he needs to at any moment and no faster.

I hadn't watched Jrue closely before he came here and was pleasantly surprised at the fact that on top of everything else, he was quietly a lot of fun.

It's definitely on brand. (When is Eddie Palladino going to announce him as from "a small town in Nebraska"?)

I remember! I mean, what's he going to do? He hurt his thumb, not his wrist, pinky, etc. But it's silly. I didn't notice the modified big balls celly that some folks did, so maybe he called an audible. (Esp. after seeing Drummond get T'd up. Can't blame AD too much. Uncharted waters after all.)

I've loved what Baylor has brought to this team, and I appreciate him playing with the fracture, but man, the thumb celly is goofy. (Especially because it brings Jrue's much better Dr Evil celly to mind.)

I went to UVA, and this was my entire experience of Virginia football when I was there. (I saw a 4th and 54 once!)

You must have been dying when JB started 0-4.

Sending me to Google to pick up on a dig at Miami. Well played.

Holy cats. That is a Benoit Blanc-level accent. I haven't seen this in years, which means that the only Milner performance I've seen recently is as the world's squarest jazz guitarist in SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS. That performance has now moved up from "wooden" to "restrained" in my book.

Theodor Adorno, a heavy-set man in a striped three-piece suit and horn-rimmed glasses, smiles weakly at the camera.

Covering the whole of your back. Maybe with an aphorism of your choice below it.

You should tell everyone that you're only answering to "big dog" now.
