My dad randomly looks at me today and goes: “I remember when they fucked up your circumcision real bad” and then never provided further context

The Devers contract was iffy to begin with (though I supported it because the team NEEDED to prove they would pay any of their homegrown stars) and imo is closer to pretty bad if he only DHs. So I think trading him, even if just to clear the salary is kinda defensible. That said, the timing is absolute garbage. Both the punting on the season after a win streak aspect and the part where there’d be more suitors in the offseason or at least the chance for a bidding war if they waited til the deadline. Really poorly run organization right now and for over half a decade at this point. Embarrassing.

I mean truthfully that Devers contract was a way to save face after the Mookie and Xander departures, but I probably would not have traded the best hitter on the team as soon as they have a winning streak

Really couldn’t disagree more with people who think this is merely Glow On 2.0 and doesn’t show growth. Feels like I’m listening to an entirely different album.

This is pretty good but mildly disappointing after sitting w it for a week. I don’t feel like the hooks are as prevalent as on GO and I like the sound design but find the outros to be pretty unnecessary in most cases. (Ironically, I think the longest one - LOOK OUT FOR ME - is the most effective by far, fantastic song all around.) It’s definitely a good record but I’m not sure it’s a great one. And not because they “abandoned hardcore” or “made glow on 2”, but just because the songwriting isn’t as tight as on the last two records imo.

Live Nation royally fucked up on so many levels. But I also can't believe that Travis Scott was allegedly told about the deaths and to end the show at 10pm and yet still continued to play for another 15 minutes. But also crazy that he was even told to end it at 10pm and not immediately. The whole situation was just full of greed and complete lack of empathy for the crowd.

Both seasons of American Vandal still hold up. I love that it has kinda become one of the first true cult classic shows of the streaming era. My favorite little detail that American Vandal gets right about how teenagers talk, is that teens always refer to other teens by their full first and last name. No other high school show got that right.

AI is a disaster for the world on a number of levels and there are certainly companies I’d rather see bands sell out to than fucking google, but idk. I expected a lot worse before actually going to watch the ad. There are plenty of uses of AI I find disgusting, and even the genuinely useful applications make me uncomfortable on a climate impact level at minimum, but the Siri on steroids genie isn’t going back in the bottle. I don’t think that’s a sustainable bar for whether people are OK or not personally. Don’t love Michelle shilling for Google, obviously, and I hope the backlash is productive, but I can’t look at this as a total mask off moment either.

Might be the best record of 2025 so far. Between this and Anxious for me just about halfway through.

Mario Kart is great but I wish there was a mode where the grand prix’s were 3 laps in each of the actual courses and less of the “traveling between courses” sections.
