A zillion cars breaking traffic laws to cross into dodger stadium for packet pickup
I take it all back, the COVID running boom was bad. It has brought too many hot people to our sport and made packet pick up (!!!) impossible
Emoji power rankings for March 2026:
+1 jump to first, applies to everything 😮💨
- 1 needs more melt 🫠
0 hanging on but too subtle for the times we live in 🙃
Running the entirety of Catalina? Fine! Walking around in Italy for two weeks in heeled boots? Sure! Doing one morning walk in bad shoes on wet grass? Goodbye forever 😭
The concept of giving yourself plantar fasciitis from knock-off birks 😮💨
Asking the important questions! Sadly, no. But now I have the "When the U.S. wins, you win!" jingle in my head
Assemblymember Tina McKinnor went as far as to say "We should have the festival" during public comments
Going into the meeting, there were no plans for a similar festival for the upcoming LA Olympics, but it certainly seemed like the meeting gave new momentum to the idea of bringing it back for 2028
Didn't have WiFi access, but one thing that kept coming up was the Olympic Arts Festival, which was a massive 10-week undertaking corresponding with the 1984 Games. Multiple people shared stories on its impact, like how it led to the creation of the LA Opera
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
Across every sphere of modern life — from politics to culture to sports — it is becoming increasingly impossible to do journalism. The economics don't support it; the oligarchs who control enormous propaganda machines don't want it; and, sadly, a large number of readers want cathartic slop instead.
Going to the LA84 Olympics hearing today. Will share if anything interesting comes up
Chotiner: walk me through your thinking here
Victor Frankenstein: A new species would bless me as its creator and source. No father could claim the gratitude of his child so completely as I should deserve theirs.
Chotiner: hmm. Could you give me some insights into your relationship w your mother?
Text chain saying basically you’ll be fine 🤪
Bless
Spare a thought for your PT friend who has to listen to idiots say I’m worried it might be a stress fracture in the same breath they say I should still be OK to run the marathon this weekend right?
Heartbreaking to realize that my very well thought-out strategy of ignoring foot pain is not making said foot pain go away :(
Reject (Hollywood) modernity, embrace tradition
Screenshot of a user rhetorically threatening what they'd do if anyone forces Dunkin' to change its iced coffee recipe
Like this is the average rhetoric happening on my social media feeds rn
Dunkin' is currently selling a 48 oz "bucket" of iced coffee. Its base is made up of the most caffeinated and insane (Boston) people in the U.S. There is no world where Dunkin' loses the coffee war
People do not play about iced coffee. But people especially do not play about Dunkin' iced coffee, as I learned when I wrote this

Never mind that the Lancet literally published this a week ago. If anything is going to take RFK Jr. down, it will be that he is coming for Dunkin' iced coffee
-The Grief Cure -Esther Perel episode on grief -All There Is With Anderson Cooper podcast in general -I think it's this episode of This Jungian Life (I'm just a huge fan of this pod in general, and they address grief a lot on it) -Stay True -Our Wives Under the Sea -Whalefall -Man's Search for Meaning -Pure Colour -Small Rain -Intermezzo -LOL OK this may have just been a me/timing thing, but the plot about the dog in The Pisces really hit but I don't think most people would lead with loss as this book's major theme so YMMV -This is another one that I'd asterisk. So I think sometimes with loss there's this piece of anger that you carry so Molly by Blake Butler spoke to that for me but flagging because it's dark -And hear me out, Vampire Diaries. I was just looking for a show with a lot of seasons but realized at some point it is all about loss, and then read a piece that confirmed it was very intentionally about that
There are a few oddballs in here, but most of this list is very much "the year was 2023"
Just compiled a grief reading list for a friend and realizing how subjective the material you find meaning in is
😮💨
A DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. ICE has bought access to similar tools. @evystadium.bsky.social reports.

Need to be less invested in the Trader Joe’s ketchup chips
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
People say they are bad with change but are they desperately buy your running shoes off third party sellers whenever an alert comes up because they stopped selling your model an embarrassing number of years ago bad?
world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.
