Same. I’ve listened to most the games and watched a few that Peacock has carried so far. I can’t justify the price to watch this team lose in HD night after night.

Good luck Charley, and Let's Go Mets.

🌱 Planted a few things.

I still haven’t forgiven them for the Tiki Barber underwear ads of 2024.

Hook, Eye, Mouth — smoke the moon March 27 - May 3, 2026

Quick promo:

My very talented spouse has some paintings in a group show at smoke the moon gallery in Santa Fe, NM: www.smokethemoon.com/exhibitions/...

Baseball allegiances, no explanation:

1. Mets
2. a two- or three-inning nap on a Sunday afternoon
3. Albuquerque Isotopes
4. Hiroshima Carp
5. Watching historic plays and calls on YouTube
6. People still rocking Expos gear
7. Ice cream sundae served in a little plastic helmet

I’m sorry to hear some folks are being weird about it, Charley. I am glad you aren’t shying away from talking about it. I do enjoy looking at the MetsSky feed from day to day, and thank you for bringing us all together. #LGM

I had a feeling this announcement was coming. 😭

Congrats on an amazin' career with the #Mets, Howie. Legend!

Hey all these WBC teams having captains is cool actually. Certain MLB owners should take note.

have you been subjected to copious amounts of zachary levi during the world baseball classic? you may be eligible for compensation

I'm looking for independent baseball writing to support this season. If you write a baseball newsletter, blog, book whatever—or have one to recommend, drop it here (no substack, sorry).

For the "museum memories" #IndieWeb carnival this month: I try my best to remember some details of my first trip to NYC and write a 'thank you' to my middle school art teacher.

Thank you for creating that space. I only made it to a few, but the ones I attended gave me some life in that moment.

weird timing globally to announce something as trivial seeming as a book club. I'm fulfilling something I signed up to do months ago. I do hope folks participate.

For March I'll be hosting a virtual, asynchronous, #IndieWeb book club, on Christopher Alexander's 'The Timeless Way of Building'. www.nicksimson.com/posts/2026-t...

if you can afford it, often $25 or less a year, get a custom domain name so you have somewhere to always point to so people can find you when they want/need to. having jennschiffer.com for so long has been paramount to my mobility online over the past 25 years

I can just forward them to you, Ty.

🍩 Remind me why I signed up to get donut pics texted to me in the middle of the afternoon.

I'm reading Marx's Capital this year, starting with Volume 1. Hoping to close what feels like a huge gap in my reading.

I'm a slow reader, so we'll see how far I get in December. But if you decide to pick this up and read along in 2026, let me know?

350 Best Records of 2025 by Thurston Moore Best Records of 2025 – Thurston Moore

I do completely believe Thurston listened to 350 records in 2025: 72558.substack.com/p/350-best-r...

I just kind of wonder if Abysmal Vacuum was really ranked a bit higher than Rhizome Weaver or if it was all a bit random after about 250...
