I think if we had three months with just the core 16 songs, The Tortured Poets Department would be widely considered Taylor’s magnum opus.

Don’t know why selling out Madison Square Garden is considered such a big deal, it’s a famous venue at the heart of the largest metro area in the country. Selling out the Fargodome is far more impressive, statistically.

I went to a quizbowl camp in Kentucky where they had this on tap. More sugar and more caffeine than Mountain Dew. I would make ice cream floats with it, not sure how I’m still alive.

inversely why we dislike late-era Michaels, playoff football Buck, etc

Iodized salt is up there. No upside to the producers really but massive public health benefits

Taking BART from SFO outside of rush hour is never not Kafkaesque. Message boards conflicting with transit trackers, no announcements or information, trains sitting at the platform for indeterminate lengths of time. Remarkable how it keeps changing but always remains an awful experience.

Tucson, Grand Junction, and Idaho Falls are the holy trinity of Mountain Time Zone cities I’ve done karaoke in.

nothing that is “everything bagel”-seasoned is nearly as good as an everything bagel. what’s up with that?

everyone’s always like “where is SF’s Zohran?” meanwhile I just want to know who is brave enough to be our Curtis Sliwa

Dispatch from Marin: the tweens of San Anselmo are ordering boba pearls in their Italian soda. This is California multiculturalism at its finest. The youth are our future.

Rationale Usually the chips served are not flavored, or flavored only mildly, and the dip serves as a condiment. Serving them separately allows for simultaneous consumption, while also allowing for the eater to control the amount of dip according to their preference. When made from purchased processed foods, the dish is an easy finger food, as each item requires almost no further preparation.

this is why I left planning to work in politics

American planning sucks not because planners actively choose to be evil but because the political structure of American land use regulation incentivizes bad outcomes and because planners largely abdicated any professional power and authority they had in response to the urban renewal and freeway era.

Elrich calls for 6% property tax rate hike to fund MCPS in county budget proposal MoCo school board leader says proposal is example of ‘true partnership’; Fani-González says council ‘not positive’ about proposed tax increase

the consequences of Marc Elrich's decades of nimbyism: school closures and tax hikes, and this is only the beginning. it would be foolish for voters to put him back on the County Council this year bethesdamagazine.com/2026/03/13/e...

Not my alma mater blowing a 21-point lead to goggles boy

You would think I would like the fact that the Harry Styles album sounds like a regular pop album remixed by an indie pop band in 2011 and unfortunately you’d be wrong.
