Perhaps I'm just cynical of polling after the last decade, but I think it's considerably more likely the original predictions of "Dems take House by reasonable margin and just miss the Senate" are more likely than any sort of blue wave
I don't think enough is made of just how wild the White Album is in context, the biggest band on Earth completely renouncing the psychedelia that made them high culture icons with a bunch of starkly produced songs that range from silly to stupid to cutting-edge to fun as hell to REALLY stupid

I love HST as much as anyone, and I’m always amused at how many people share his (legit trenchant) 9/11 Page 2 column without knowing that every other Page 2 column he wrote was half-baked rants and NFL bullshit with Demented Facebook Uncle punctuation

Now playing: Trouble No More, the last word on Dylan’s gospel era and maybe the best Bootleg Series in terms of historical significance/song selection and curation
A thing about 9/11 is that the Overton Window was already significantly shifting right after W's election (with Clinton's help, ofc), and 9/11 was a convenient lever to shift it further en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_C...

On September 11, 2001, 19 year old me walked to a now-gone record store on University Avenue in Ann Arbor, MI, clocked the clerk listening to the news instead of loud hard rock, bought a CD copy of Bob Dylan’s newly released Love & Theft, walked to the library on the same street, and listened to it
Now watching: WCW WrestleWar 1990, with a hilariously bad “rap” intro and a killer Flair vs Luger main event. It’s wild to me how much chemistry Flair and Luger had, way more so than Flair vs Sting and Flair vs Hogan and even Flair vs Vader youtu.be/4zAMOaxGeko?...

Still truly love that Jon Bois dropped a pin in his History of the Falcons doc about the Vikings and then picked that pin right back up with an entire History of the Vikings
If you really, really, really, REALLY (repeat “really” x1000) want to know what happened on 9/11, you might as well watch this, a 3 hour compilation of news footage, interviews, and flight recreations that contextualize a normal fall Tuesday that turned into shit youtu.be/BTyI95EjasY?...

Watched highlights of Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals again, and it really has to be asked: how in the everloving fuck did the Knicks win that game
It is interesting to contrast McVay with Belichick, who McVay has succeeded as the prime coaching villain of football: Belichick loves the sport and its history, while McVay seems to love the sport in the context of making him look like a genius bsky.app/profile/schm...

jourdain searles@judysquirrels.bsky.social · last mo.I’d honestly rather the Dems not react to Trump’s $5000 lie because it’ll inevitably be something like “oh, I thought Demented Donnie HATED communism”
I had a dream last night, in which the world was a better, safer, more affordable place for everyone and where you could be who you wanted free of consequence, and it ended with a bitter old chud in a faded MAGA hat muttering on TV “it all went to shit after Charlie died”
The Pats better hope Brown’s ankle injury was just a tweak, because Maye was out there slinging it like late stage Favre to a pretty mediocre receiving corps without him

Can’t really blame Maye for that second pick, when your other big FA acquisition drops one right on his mitts, you’re gonna want to do everything yourself
I see Maye has chosen to carry his “one incredibly boneheaded play per game” habit from last year over to this one
