We watched it last night. This was my first exposure to it (I'd only heard the 'not miss my shot' take-off when L-MM hosted SNL). It was good. I was entertained. It was really long though. The King's interludes were funny. Jefferson was cool. It was a lot less 'hip-hop' then I was expecting. Seemed ...

This seems bad...

I am beyond pissed. What kind of ignorant fuck would endanger their health and those of others just to earn a few extra bucks playing covers of hair metal and grunge in the dive bars. As a sidebar: I just shake my head at the news stories about bar owner/patrons who are complaining about bars not b...

I like this list too, even though my 1993 list would likely be much different.

When I started putting it together, I had about 20 possibles on it. Tough to winnow it down.

Spurs should replace their manager.

t'll be interesting when this is all settled to look back and see the difference between the decisions of D1 schools and D3 schools of how and when they bring students back. There's no way that football money isn't driving a lot of these decisions. Speaking of which... USC reverses robust fall reop...

I love those 'small world' connections.

In college, one spring break, I was skiing in Taos. Rode up a chairlift with a woman who it turns out went to her prom (in Camp Hill, PA) with my roommate's older brother.

Back on point, I wish the guy was wearing a yacht captain hat, that would have been the perfect accessory to the outfit.

When I was kid, the independent TV station out of Oakland (KTVU) would have Soul Train and Hee Haw on back to back on Saturday evenings.

Probably not a lot of cross-over between those audiences.

Didn’t I posit as much a few weeks back? He can’t be seen as a loser.

There's no way this happens (Trump dropping out)...but if he does it will be something like 'Barron/Melania have a health issue...I have no choice'

So you know on Spotify you can see what your connections are listening to?

The other night, a guy I used to work with was listening to this playlist:

Every Live Dark Star On Spotify: Grateful Dead 1967-1978

Could be a Boy Scout thing, or he’s into sailing, or quite likely the other reason.

Sailors would never tie a noose. As others have noted in this thread, its a big ass knot, and its a slipknot. Only useful for one thing.

When sailors are goofing off tying knots, its something like a sheepshank.

“Do I get to speak now? It’s been like ten minutes.” Bill Simmons is an only child. There are many narratives about Simmons—that he’s a godsend, an innovator, a genius, a workaholic, your favorite writer … or that he’s a racist, a misogynist, a frat boy from Boston, a multimillionaire who navigated...

The AllinWa telecast tonight was awesome. Very well done, and I love how the local acts (Pearl Jam, Brandi Carlile, Ben Gibbard, Head and the Heart, Macklemore) all came together for the event. And special thanks to Sir Mix-A-Lot...for the Sonics love (he held up the jersey and said 'Bring them back...

Nevada just made masks mandatory in all inside public spaces.

Washington announced that yesterday. Numbers are going up again, mostly driven by Yakima (big meat packing plant there), but also in King County.

DiS, your Aunt sounds like a peach. When was the last time she held a job or contributed to society in a meaningful way? I've got a guess but I'll hang up and listen.

I've been voting by mail for 20 years. I think my parents have been voting by mail for 50 years. Really weird that this is an issue NOW . Washington State (along with Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, and Utah) is all vote-by-mail. And it works great. And is super easy. And there's been no incidence of vot...
