My son's 9. I see all these younger kids when I pick him up from camp. It's really underscoring that he's very much a big kid now and time is gonna move even more quickly than it has been. I don't miss the little kid years, but the end parentheses to this bit of life do feel suddenly oddly in sight.
damn i wish i was your lawyer

I will be running for higher office on an "I will stop spam texts and calls by castrating the people responsible for them" platform.
I'm moving my friends and family to a subscription model so instead of purchasing my undying love and respect once they will now have to do so annually.
They're called "Parental Controls" because they're designed to keep parents from being able to control anything.
Deleted like 800 "contacts" from my phone yesterday and damn it felt good. Had no idea who most of them even were.
Honestly kinda shocking that "liver milk" isn't the name of an xtc album.
Today on "What's Stuck in Matt's Headspace?": After a whole lot of noodlin' I guess we're craving some meat and potatoes. youtu.be/qmkJSHp3GOs?...

I'd forgotten all about Mike's "Are you still playing the tiny drums?" sideways glances.
I love how if you so much as look near, much less at, your phone, CarPlay will turn off whatever you are happily listening to and play whatever the fuck might be open somewhere on your phone instead.
If you're still alive 20 years from now, you will be somewhere - a car, a store, a party - and the song you most passionately in all the world hate and right now think is the worst will come on and you will be happy to hear it.
Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.
You know, I wasn't feeling that great this afternoon and I could have just stayed home tonight, but I went out and saw a show and I feel fucking great right now. It's amazing how healing it is to see live music. It's a lesson I know I already know, but I also have to relearn it every time.
It would be funny as fuck for Phish to play A Train tonight.
Stuck behind someone so old and driving so slowly that they might plausibly be driving to their own funeral.
Mornin', y'all! Me and the little man are both rockin' some Stealies today. :)
A different Matt Berman who does not know his email address has been hitting his local dispensary with some real frequency of late.
I know I've been skeeting about Phish a lot the past couple weeks, so those of you who are like "whhhhhhy" will be pleased to know that Phish season has almost come to an end. And like the fabled Brigadoon, when this tour ends, my Phish tweets largely* disappear. *Largely. Not entirely. 1/
Saturday Night Fever is just Rocky with dancing.
Love it. Perfect button song for the run. Thanks fellas! Welcome back to '26. :) #NumberLine #Phish
This has to be the most Trey has drummed in a show in 30 years.
Couple days ago, Mike Ayers asked for people's fave Phish shows they wished would get officially released and said he'd send copies of his book, "Sharing in the Groove," to his faves. I replied and today I got this in the mail. How awesome is that? Thanks, Mike! You rock! @themikeayers.bsky.social
Watched Rocky with my son (at his request) and had to attempt to explain the '70s without saying it was a bleak and terrible time where everyone was either angry and barely scraping by or angry but had cocaine money.
Was supposed to go see The Odyssey last night and we got there and my friend realized he somehow hadn't bought the tickets he thought he had so we were gonna have to drive across town to another theater to see it and man if that ain't exactly what's supposed to happen when you go to see The Odyssey.
For anyone looking to get more Greek on post-Odyssey, Madeline Miller's "Circe" and "The Song of Achilles" are two absolutely brilliant books that play in the mythological sandbox in enthralling ways.

there is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11
My artistic skills do not tend to run towards visual arts or graphic design, but I had an idea after Phish's show on Saturday and I wanted it, so I went ahead and doctored it up myself.
