How my brain is functioning currently: Last night I started boiling water for some pasta. Salted the water. Changed my mind. Decided to use the boiling water for tea instead. Forgot the second thing in this list. Currently finishing off my salty tea.
It still kinda blows my mind that people find anything interesting about Jack White's solo music.
Concerned about the Mariners bringing Kade Anderson into this totally-not-working six starter situation after only trading one starter. Also slightly concerned they might not call him up at all because the six starter thing has totally not worked and they’re quite dumb, generally.
I think the weirdest thing about the yesterday (re: Spokane fire) is that - because of the direction the wind was blowing - it was maybe the best air quality index day in weeks in my part of town.
I think “the Dodgers are ruining baseball” might be the laziest sports narrative. I hate it. The Dodgers have great ownership and are run extremely well, it’s the other cheapskate MLB owners who suck ass. You know how close the superteam was to nor winning the World Series last year? *THISCLOSE*
The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring Tarik Skubal for outfielder Zyhir Hope, right-hander River Ryan and right-hander Brady Smith, sources tell ESPN.
FYI: I’m not currently in an fire evacuation area in Spokane, but have stuff ready if I need to bolt.
You would be aghast at some of the bands I think Bowling for Soup is clearly better than, but I am right.
Some might see this as a sign of disrespect, but they're the only team on this list that got a W...
For starters, I’d suggest spelling the name of the Super Bowl champion correctly…
The Bed Heads has already become one of Spokane’s top bands without actually putting out an LP. That changes tomorrow when the group releases Three Words tomorrow at The Chameleon (with a big surprise in store for the show… 🤐). www.inlander.com/music/spokan...

Bowling for Soup has reached generations of pop fans by blending catchiness and humor
Seamlessly incorporating humor into music isn’t an easy task. Writing a good hook and penning a witty lyric requires vastly different creative parts of one’s brain. But when Bowling for

Is it weird that this whole people wearing diapers to concerts thing is my strongest "kids are soft, back in my day..." issue? I spent 12+ hours on the main stage rail by myself at Sasquatch! in 2008. I just brought some water + snacks & consumed them in moderation. No breaks or diapers needed.
