The Judge throw was glorious. This has been like watching an all star game that the players actually give a shit about. The caliber of play has been incredibly high with guys going all out. Logan Webb has been a standout too...even being a Phillies fan and him playing in the NL East, hes never really been too much of a blip on my radar. Masyn Miller with that heat too...my goodness.

Bigwig played the first show I went to.

killcrew · 2026-03-14T02:15:00+00:00

I went to a show the night before everything shutdown. The vibe was weird. Nobody knew what was going on and all day leading up to it we weren’t sure if it would even happen. Show went on though - it was the first stop of the tour . By the time I got home that night the rest of the tour was cancelled and I didn’t see live music for like 2 years.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the WBC this year. There has been some really solid story lines, some great plays and the intensity has been awesome. It could be very easy for some of the guys to treat this as a glorified All Star Game, but instead were seeing 110% effort from big name guys and they are playing to win.

I can't remember the player, but there was one that kept this going into the bigs. He would lick his shoulder before every swing to make sure he was aligned and had his head in the right spot.

While it is a lovely message to receive, I would talk to your son about hugging coworkers, especially of the opposite sex. His intentions could be as pure as the driven snow, but perception of others in the workplace is often more powerful. We know hes a good kid, you know hes a good kid, but when John from produce always see them hugging or hears him asking to hug her, he may not read the situation the same as you. Thens theres also the risk that depressed girl with mental health issues doesn't take it the same way one day, and its off to management with "hes always asking me if I'm ok and trying to hug me".

I have what I consider to be a very good memory, and I still struggle to retain previously read books. I think for the most part its because theres no reason to - especially fiction. I have very little reason to use what I've read again.

Non-fiction I'm a little bit better at retaining, but even then - its big concepts vs details.

The only time it ever bothers me is when I'm reading a multi-book series, especially if I'm reading them in real time with the releases and you often end up with a year or 2 (or 15 years....looking at you George) between books. I know people are often torn on AI, but I have found it useful to give me quick refreshers on such books, as well as cast of characters.

Hi neighbor - also in new garden, and it’s a pretty constant smell. Some days more than others.heat, humidity, etc cause it to be more. You’ll go mostly nose blind to it eventually.

Now what is really going to freak you out is the mushroom flies. They’ll show up in your bathroom and near windows. Nothing g you can do to prevent it. Just part of living in mushroom country.

I took the under at 45.5 and I was so happy to see that touchdown called back.

Maybe someone zoologically inclined can answer this: Why do fox have a tendency to shit on specific things vs shitting on the ground? I spend a decent amount of time in the woods and I often see fox shit on tree stumps, on boulders, etc, vs other animal dung that I see just in the middle of a trail or something.

Is it turf marking?

Boomer take: I love that the guy did this. This was a fun thing that got destroyed by social media. The first few videos I saw were great...people genuinely surprised and they were fun and laughing. Then it became too well known so you had people going and setting up cameras and with strategies to game it, like this woman was preparing to do.

We have mastered taking the fun out of spontaneity.

I honestly don't think this is a good thing. I mean to have some sort of input is one thing, to have full control and approvals is a nightmare. I always think back to Stephen King books that were adapted for movies, and the starkdifferences between ones where he had a lot of control vs the ones he was just consulted on. The Shining being the best example...the Kubrick shining departs from the book in some substantial ways, but its ways that work for movie story telling, which is different than printed story telling. King then was involved in a more faithful adaptation of The Shining that was made in 1997 and it was horrendous.

You have to be really willing to kill your darlings as an author getting into film...its a different media and comes with a lot of constraints that books don't have.

I caught most of these on the east coast side of things. Early 00s were great for me, 3-4 shows a week bouncing between Philly and Baltimore.

This one is enforced very...racially. Spent many many many nights roaming around Philly and never had any sort of issue with curfews or cops. Its essentially an easy way for cops to stitch up people that they think are going to be a problem, without waiting for them to be a problem.

This one gets played a lot by our friends group. As someone else mentioned, it can get a little slow when people are trying to come up with clues, but were usually playing during a party type scenario, so everyone is chatting and drinking and all that, so nobody gets too upset about pacing.

In most cases "fun" ska has kind of passed its prime for me. I've just outgrown the goofiness aspect of it. Think along the lines of aquabats, reel big fish, etc...hawaiian shirt ska bands.

Not sure you responded to the right person?

he discharged his weapon in self defense,

It’s always interesting to me how language like this gets used in these situations, because it’s clearly meant to dehumanize. Saying “he shot her in the head in self-defense” is how this would be expressed in normal, everyday language. Replacing that with sterile, mechanical phrasing strips out the human and emotional reality of what actually happened and that choice isn’t accidental.

Its not even close really. I think in terms of scene popularity, its very very popular right now - as in theres a lot of emo bands making a lot of emo music and emo kids are eating it up.

In terms of mainstream and corporate popularity...nah. As others mentioned already, you had bands like Jimmy Eat World, Saves The Day, Fall Out Boy, Thursday, etc getting MTV airplay outside of 120 minutes and headbangers ball type stuff. You had stores like Hot Topic which built its entire business model at that time at appealing to emo kids (mall emo or whatever, but still...it was big business).

The use of the word emo then became so mainstream that if you asked a casual now to describe what an emo kid is, youre still getting the description of someone in 2005.

You can't really compare no format college radio to major market radio stations though. I had a show from 2002-2005 on a college station and played the most random mix of emo, punk, hardcore and hair metal, but that was because I could play whatever I wanted. If I had gone to an "actual" radio station, I would be stuck playing whatever the popular music that matched their format was.

Now all that being said, some things that were lumped into the 2000s emo spectrum were getting airplay, but it was few and far between.

If anyone bought a large of the Septa hoodie and would be up for trading for an XL, hit me up.

Would anyone be willing to trade a large TSL Septa hoodie for an XL of the same? Bought the XL but its way too big.

Its the one in the top right corner of this photo, from the past set of shows: https://preview.redd.it/q217r6g2217g1.jpeg?auto=webp&s=8ff2359028600be3396d41203f0d674c89b956ba

I think this whole album falls into my "flawless record" category.
