Last few hours in the Midwest for a while. Thanks Chicago, it was a wonderful time as always.

Found a local connection here walking through Streeterville Chicago

I was there last week this is 100% true

Minneapolis is a great American city full of heroes

Going from being worried this game would happen at all to an exciting one in the seventh inning! Let's go Cubs!

Walking past Lollapalooza during sound check. That's probably enough for me for a few years.

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a GIF. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. Bonus points? In the theater.

Tonight's fun thing is Private Lives at the Guthrie. I didn't come here often enough when I lived here, or at least not as often as I would nowadays.

Tonight's fun thing is Jukebox the Ghost's Variety Show Spectacular at Fine Line

Rolled credits (#1) on Hollow Knight. 52 hours, 100% complete. A rare instance of a masterpiece in game storytelling. I went back and did the platforming (which was really enjoyable once I figured out the "almost infinite tries" charms) for the later endings. Will set it down and come back later.

Minnesota / Twin cities frens: I'll be visiting this week! If you want to get together for coffee, board gaming, drinks, whatever hit me up in the DMs!

I know I'm coming to this (checks notes) 9 years late, but it's somehow serendipitous that I'm really enjoying the heck out of Hollow Knight after picking it back up last week. 💖🖤🤍

An autistic man with a special interest in the Harry Potter series has made the decision to value the lives and dignity of his trans friends more than a book about a wizard who grows up to be a cop, sources have reported.

🛥️🐈 I should make a pretzel crust pizza

Also when we had newspapers for places as small as Worcester. Discovering this was in our dining room table was a neat find though.

Remember when we did amazing things? My dining room table remembers.

Today's second fun football thing is Boston Legacy vs Washington at Tidewater! Much less rainy than last night, hoping for an exciting game.

Tonight's fun thing is RIFC vs Hartford Athletics, in not completely pouring rain. We're up 1-0 in the 60th minute!

Today's fun thing is Providence Fringe! It's the second day (busy yesterday). First up: What You Will, a (very) abridged version of Twelfth Night.

Today's fun thing is Showings C & D of the Providence 48 hour film festival!

Today's fun thing is Weird Al on tour at PPAC!

Koke wins for us on the final penalty kick!

Daria has enough cred around here that she @marie.tech & @hypatian.org got to present the Man of the Match award 💪⚽️

Do you need more reasons to cheer for Norway? I got you babe

Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 4w ago

Norway pay their female international players the same amount as their male players and have done since 2017.

To be fair, the only thing I had to destroy on my path to bullshitting an opinion on the philosophy behind Frodo was an animated paperclip. I imagine turning off all the things trying to "help" nowadays is going to steal your time and your motivation.

Kids today have lost the fine art of bullshitting a 10 page paper from a single Funk & Wagnalls entry or from reading only the CliffsNotes. 🤣

I wish there was a way to disown the members of an audience that yell out requests at a performer. If they can even hear you, please realize it's their job to practice and play the songs and put them in an order on purpose. Shut up. 🙄

Today's fun thing is Joe Jackson at the Uptown! More music in town!

Did you know that the RIPTA board of directors again has an opening? Anyway, no reason I mention that. Pic unrelated.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

One reason I can feel great about the US playing badly last night after the controversy and politics around the game is that sometimes you have a decent chance and the lads are just shit that day. That is part of football. It can look like bad strategy (👀 🇳🇱) or feel like karma.

Mike Goodman@themlg.bsky.social · 4w ago

Woke up to a bunch of people in my mentions thinking that it’s delusional to suggest a team played badly. World Cups absolutely make people’s brains fall out.

So glad all this is happening with the US involved so that all the newbie soccer fans can experience how exciting these matches are while also learning why literally everyone despises FIFA.

FIFA has how made up some kind of insane appeal process and could rescind the Balogun red card recension no notes www.nytimes.com/athletic/742...
