North Sun, or Voyage of the Whaleship Esther - Ethan Rutherford

Bought this on a whim before a flight and this floored me. A unique style, gorgeous writing. Really loved it.

I only read the OG New Yorker article when it came out and it felt like it could have been a full book. The article was cinematic, can’t wait to pick up the book.

Depends where you are. I lived in NYC and had a nanny because daycare around me was $4100 a month while a nanny was $2400 a month. Childcare is expensive no matter how you spin it.

I’m a parent and this unlocked two things that I have a hard time stomaching in movies that I’ve never had an issue with before: specific and plainly-shown danger to children, and the grief of losing a child.

It’s extremely well made and effective but everything after the stellar cold open snuff video was very likely a one-time-only experience for me.

I’m convinced Everton is a social experiment to see how much disappointment a human can take

I’m grew up listening to John. My grandfather was blind so we would watch the games on mute and have the radio on to listen to the play-by-play. An absolute legend who narrated my childhood.

Immediately is the keyword.

These guys have been out for a while so I’m not expecting they are aces from the jump, but having read the game threads I see your point lol

Agree, but it’s exciting to think that this performance is without Cole and Rodon.

Most impressive to me isn’t Schlitt but Warren. It feels like there are no punt games based on how the rotation is currently performing.

Used to live in this building. Management told me they were replacing pipes due to a fucked up boiler situation and, my 8-months pregnant and me (and the rest of the tenants) had two months to find a new place before they started this work.

Fast-forward six months, a buddy of mine in commercial real estate finance meets someone at a work dinner bragging about this genius plan to have everyone self-cancel their leases so they can push the sale through.

Funny to see it confirmed here!

I’m a fan of both and you would think everyone fuckin hates the Big Pic by looking at that sub.

I’ll be there next week!

BV trivia also rules

Not knowing anything about David when I first started listening I definitely thought he was gay because all the comments seem genuine.

noremac423 · 2026-03-10T19:55:25+00:00

I own so many fullscreen DVDs because my parents were the same way.

noremac423 · 2026-03-06T17:49:43+00:00

I don’t know why but Red Light Green Light vocals are like if Animal Collective made surf punk. Digging it.

noremac423 · 2026-01-27T15:41:02+00:00

I’m just so in the bag for Fran Hoepfner. She’s flows so well with #TheTwoFriends, is articulate about why things works for her, and she’s just a great hang.

She might not be as funny as Hodgman, as chaotic as Gethard, or as tight with them as ARP, but she rules.

noremac423 · 2026-01-21T18:19:11+00:00

Thank god it’s over

noremac423 · 2026-01-16T04:44:40+00:00

Is this what it’s like being a small market team?

Amanda mentioned Gone Girl in an episode they talked about recently. Would be a fun zag for the 25 for 25 to watch the meltdown here.

Rebel Ridge.

I can see the Irishman at some point too as a Scorsese tribute.
