Every time I'm in a coffeeshop and stranger sitting next to me asks me to watch their laptop while they go to the bathroom, I think, (a) how nice that they see me as a trustworthy person, and (b) are they really expecting me to chase a thief and kick his ass?
Last night I went to a random #TriviaNight, ended up teaming up with the quizmaster's mother, and we won. I'm living the life, friends.
Thank you, @brucespringsteen.net. There is no one like him, there is no place like America…

Ridiculous fun talking #trivia w/Jeremy Cahnmann of @brainbash.bsky.social, on his QUIZZING IN AMERICA podcast. I discuss Big Quiz Thing history + my trivia philosophy, and then challenge him to some of the BQT's greatest hits. Listen, subscribe, etc.
I don’t think I’ve once listened to “Hotel California” voluntarily, but I nonetheless seem to know every word of the lyrics.
I've known it intimately for decades, but I'm once again struck by this song, Rush's single best ever (IMO). It's a unique, fascinating, unbelievably awesome rock song…

Ten intense hours of quizmastering over the past three days (buzzer-only format). Sharing my art (yes, it is) with people, creating guilt-free fun, adjusting on the fly as the situation demands. My health challenges fade away, the world seems to make sense. This is when I feel most alive.
Today @duolingoverde.bsky.social taught me that in Spanish, John Cena’s name means “John Dinner.”
Last night's dream: My TV game show was back in production, but midway through taping one episode, I was replaced as host by Richard Dawson. #gameshows
TOMORROW: A rare chance to play the Big Quiz Thing for free, as I quizmaster a virtual game to test our new answer system. Join us at 6pm ET/3pm PT; RSVP to info@bigquizthing.com…
Tonight at the theater. Sounds like something the Times would say.
It's a lot more emotion than detail, but this paragraph (courtesy @simonwdc.bsky.social's Hopium newsletter) really sums up my feelings these days. #LiberalPatriot
Blondie encapsulated so much of what makes rock & roll awesome: Killer hooks, fierce energy, style, and a solid beat. And we have the great #ClemBurke to thank for the latter. #RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J_z...

It's like The Dating Game but almost completely different: @billscurry.bsky.social and I pump air into the #YouTube phenomenon that's soon coming to @netflix.com — POP THE BALLOON OR FIND LOVE—in the latest episode of I DON'T GET IT @noahandbillshow.bsky.social #PopTheBalloon shorturl.at/PkFcL
Will forever be my favorite #ValKilmer movie moment… #RIP

Coincidence? Mishearing? Joke? Trying to figure out what happened here. @philzcoffee.bsky.social

Upside of a rainy day: A cool snail outside my front door. #mollusks
Happy #TransDayOfVisibility to all my friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens who are living their truth. Trans rights = freedom.
Compare the reaction to this to the response to “deplorable” or “garbage beliefs.” The media’s rightward slant (and the D party’s lack of killer instinct) will doom us all.
Fantastic to see #JessicaKirson at #TheMasonicSF. Must have seen her perform a thousand times during her early stand-up days, so happy to see she’s grown into one of the best in the business. #Comedy
Guy in the BART station, yelling into his hands-free phone “Why would I lie?” and “Because I’m smarter than you.”
All set up for this month’s @sisterdistrictsf.bsky.social postcard writing event, encouraging #Virginia to #VoteBlue
Except it’s not.
GREAT West Coast Leadership Workshop with Sister District Project yesterday. Particularly like our plans to meet this insane political moment with action, intelligence, and integrity. @sisterdistrictsf.bsky.social @sd-southbay.bsky.social
A whole new way of obsessing over the physical appearance of entertainers: The GlamBOT. Join @billscurry.bsky.social and me as we explore the red-carpet phenomenon on the latest episode of I DON’T GET IT @noahandbillshow.bsky.social m.soundcloud.com/user-1214754...
Good lord. I'm generally more pro-Newsom than a lot of other CA Democrats, but this is horseshit. With everything of beyond-pressing importance in the world, the fact that this issue is discussed at a national level proves how infantile MAGA grievance has infected out politics.
Question about the song "Summertime Blues": Why is the kid's Congressman at the United Nations? #SongLyrics
