28 years old, feels like it hasn't aged a day. I love everything about this: the signature Albini drum sound, the hypercaffeinated Devo groove, the dual-tracked vocals. Brilliant.
Only one of their neighbors does this; a lot of people seem to think it's more than that but Helsinki never finnished the project to scandanavian.
Me: Eight million tweets saying Veni Vidi Vinci in 3...2...1... John Heyman: Veni Vidi Vinci
This happened immediately in the aftermath of Roberta Vinci beating Serena Williams at the 2015 US Open.
I think it's my favorite thing that's happened to me on the internet. Hacks gonna hack.
All contractors are Breeders.
Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point
Me, a BGSU grad, laughing at this before seeing it was posted by a Toledo person:
I got about a minute into the first non-intro song on the Eyecandy record just now - the first time I've ever listened to them - and thought "this sounds like Okkervil River, not Beefheart" and then it kicked in and melted my brain. Wowsers.
@liakos.bsky.social
Seen on Facebook.
This must be bizarro @tomchansky.bsky.social 's wheels.
Well that's not very Nice-aea of them.
images that I think of at least once weekly
screencap from the film uhf, in the aftermath of the character played by emo philips cutting his finger off on a table saw
If it's good enough for Emo Philips, it's good enough for me.
Good Lord, the Rangers bullpen is an absolute shit show.
I mean, I'll take it, but it's almost not fair that Lorenzen pitched so well and the bullpen imploded. Yet again.
It's #MLBPlayerRespect time for the #CLEvsTEX series. This one's easy: Michael Lorenzen. Shohei Ohtani he ain't, but Lorenzen is a legit MLB SP who can also serve as a bench outfielder if you want him to. He's played 34 MLB games as an OF, been used as a PH 29 times.
I love versatile ballplayers.
I'll never forget the time I was accused of racism for saying Fernando Martinez reminded me of Alex Escobar.
Phenom Mets OF prospect? Check.
Promoted to the big leagues at a young age? Check.
Can't tell the strike zone from a transistor radio? Check.
Injuries galore? Check.
Yep, definitely racism.
Good news, everyone! Now you can watch the most painful game in Cleveland baseball history whenever you want!
And when YouTube is done with that, maybe they can punch me in the throat or pour sugar in my gas tank. Super. Thanks.
Their album is really good, but their live performance here is phenomenal.
I have a friend, @tomchansky.bsky.social , who is of the opinion that 1994 is the best year in rock history.
I'm a 1977 guy myself (Clash, Pistols, Marquee Moon, In The City, My Aim is True, Lust for Life, Blank Generation, Dead Boys, two Bowie albums, Pink Flag, Rumours) but '94 is damn good too.
I forgot to make my #MLBPlayerRespect post for the #CLEvsCWS series.
It's Erick Fedde. I can't help but admire when a high draft pick who's struggled in the majors goes overseas and figures it out instead of sulking or quitting. Fedde dominated the KBO in '23 and has looked good so far in '24.
Weezer dropped The Blue Album 30 years ago today.
Say what you will about their later work, but the first two albums were just about perfect.
How many handshakes to Hitler? Let's see...

There's probably a quicker path somewhere that I don't know about.
Having forgotten the #LAAvsCLE series is over, I've got a replacement #MLBPlayerRespect choice for #DETvsCLE. Mark Canha. Never really celebrated; just gets on base, plays four positions, and hits 20 HR/162 games. Can even play 3B in a pinch.
Got hit by 55 pitches in '21-'22. That's a team guy.
I seem to have forgotten the Angels series is over, so DETvCLE replacement on its way.
Thanks to @marinermatt01.bsky.social for the idea, along with @sanjaromin.bsky.social . I'll try to do this for every Guards series, but may forget.
This seems like a good idea, and I'll play along. My #MLBPlayerRespect pick for the #LAAvsCLE series is Adam Cimber. Not because he's a former Cleveland player*, but because he's a fine pitcher despite a fastball that sits around 85 MPH. Submariners are the best.
(* - That doesn't hurt, of course.)
I just heard someone who didn't appear to be kidding call tofu "toe food", and that's the best not-real expression I've heard in a very long time.
Yeah, well, textbooks are one thing, but having maintenance tools in a 120-year-old building?
Jail. Right away. No trial. No nothing.
an AI-generated image of a street gang made up of very tough sloths with the words SLOW GANG behind them
When your boss's boss calls herself "kinda slow sometimes" and you respond "you and me both", you have started a gang.
A slow gang.
And when that happens, you need some mascots. So you ask your friendly neighborhood AI for an image. And you get this.
SLOW GANG!
Welp. This aged poorly.
As a general rule, I don't want people to fail at things - there are enough things to be really angry about already.
That said, after the way Delmar behaved while they were killing off a beloved institution, it was glorious to see them crash and burn.
I can have little a schadenfreude as a treat.
