Heart, how torn you are,
How blessed to plow down blindly,
To think nothing, to know nothing,
Only to breathe, only to feel.

Kiss me passionately in the secluded corner of a used bookstore on a cobblestone side street in Prague during a raging thunderstorm, or kindly stop wasting my time.

On Friday night, November 26, 1982, the day after Thanksgiving, ABC was at the Astrodome in Houston for the heavyweight championship of the world between Larry Holmes and Randall "Tex" Cobb. Howard Cosell was ringside, for what would be his last time.
Thank you!
Ooh I need to watch this!
Bluesky: the go-to place for news?
Boston Globe is reporting that traffic to its site from @bsky.app is 3x that of Threads. Guardian reporting it is 2x that of Threads.
Tellingly, Guardian also says that traffic from Bluesky is higher than the weekly traffic achieved from X at any point in 2024.
Two of the top ten moments of my life right there ☺️

My guest is @brinjonathanbutler.bsky.social on this week’s pod. Brin has written extensively on Tyson & we discussed the Tyson-Paul fight & Tyson’s allure after all these years. We also spoke about Brin’s interview with Oleksandr Usyk & Conor McGregor’s court case.

Really hoping to get to Rome to see this myself.
He’s wearing Cestus on his hands. I think I’m different periods they were even covered in studs and spikes.
It’s an amazing sculpture (from what I’ve seen in photos).
His life experience is in the scar tissue on his face and that look in his eyes. I have an idea for a gallery show that relates to this that I would love to discuss with you one day.
The Terme Boxer statue from the Hellenistic period of Greece, around 300 BC.
Guy has a crooked nose, cauliflower ears, deep gashes in the face and busted teeth.
