There's a house on my street with some cool college dudes living in it.
I know they're cool because they have a flag on the house that is just a picture of their house. They're clearly fond of living there.

Ended up walking by Kilroy's Sports last night at 3:30 am. Place was still open and partying for graduation.
Everyone standing on tables/chairs, singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody.
Then I noticed the guys hugging in the middle. They're gonna miss each other.
A mint julep at the Kentucky Derby costs $22, general admission tickets are $275, there's no direct public transportation to the track and the surrounding neighborhoods are fenced off from it. I love derby season but the event itself is an increasingly exclusionary spectacle.

"well, they're terrific at installing carpet, let's let them build the house!"
A macro perspective requires far more general knowledge than a micro perspective
Also these folks probably don't know shit about common folks' healthcare, labor industries, banking, so much!
I am not asking much.
I am simply asking the most prominent sports columnist in the state not to sexually harass the most important woman in sports on her first day at work.
And yet.

what's stopping them? certainly not an age requirement
maybe they need a ride -- go be a hero and save your elderly neighbor, because complaining about these NBA players on Twitter can't help the situation like you directly can~
Tom Crean was phenomenally kind to my family when he didn't have to be. I'll always remember that about him. I hope he ends up with a good gig somewhere.
The Ohio State University has successfully registered a trademark for "THE."
The registration was just issued on June 21st by the USPTO.
The application was filed back in August 2019. So why did it take 3 years to get approved?

SHELDON: penny (knock knock knock) penny (knock knock knock)
(crowd loses its shit)
PENNY: goddamnit sheldon i'm going to shoot you with a gun
SHELDON: bazinga!

there's no genuine financial need at hand but if you had a laugh and wanna buy these guys some beers, I'll make sure they get a gift card to Big Red Liquors
Still in Bloomington and went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch games today.
There is virtually no interest in this Indiana men’s team.
The overwhelming sentiment around here from talking to people is the vast majority is ready to move on from Mike Woodson. The questions are :
If you live in Bloomington, and you only order pizza from chain restaurants, you are 100% missing out
Pizza X, MoBear's, Cafe Pizzaria, Aver's, Nick's, Switchyard, Eric Gordon's Greek's, Azzip, Bucceto's, The Tap, Butch's, Da Vinci, Lennie's, Baldy's, Osteria Rago, and so on~
a brief summary of the IU-UT trash talk:
TENNESSEE: haha! you lowly Hoosiers ("Losers?") are historically unsuccessful at football. We, on the other hand, are not.
INDIANA: i have wanted to die since the day i was born, and hell has infinite seating for sinners like us
IU's women's basketball program is delivering the expectations that even the stingiest of Hoosier fans would ask of the team.
We're witnessing history in real-time. A wonderful era.
DAN: see what I would have done here, Jason, instead of holding the ball and taking a missed shot, I would have dribbled in and MADE the basket! Kids these days, they're SOFT! Go in and MAKE A SHOT.
JASON: ha ha ha, Gophers lead the Hoosiers 41 to 27 here with 2:00 to play...

Right?? I'm tired of the wasp nest-looking "mixed use" cookie-cutter bullshit. Give me a house that's falling apart and has 7 bedrooms connected through a broom closet.
the way old people in Bloomington speak so glowingly about the IU women's basketball team makes me very happy
they always say stuff like "our ladies" and it feels very familial
"IU football fans are secretly Notre Dame fans."
Fuck that noise. I live in Bloomington. We all joke about watching games we know we're gonna lose. There's a sad stack of red foam fingers at every Kroger in town. We wallow in our shit and take great pride in the filth.
This summer, we're hitting the Florida highway with a single mission - to film a documentary on the Nonstandard McDonald's of the Sunshine State!
Back us on Kickstarter and be a part of our most Nonstandard adventure yet!
Based on today's discourse, I'd like to nominate Bloomington as the Schrodinger's Cat of Indiana:
People outside Indiana think we're a bunch of hicks, but the rest of Indiana actually thinks we're too woke to function.
They didn't just win. They dominated. I had my doubts. It didn't feel real. I am so stoked about this IUWBB team. After this, anything is possible! Great game tonight.

Accidentally took this photo of the NASCAR race earlier where the production team cut between storm clouds and a lizard too quickly, so now it looks like Miami's race is under delay due to a giant amphibian.
It's telling when people from California accuse Indiana of being the symbol of racism, as if the Chinese Exclusion Act, Japanese internment, a gold rush ban on Blacks, the Zoot Suit Riots, and the Rodney King incident didn't all take place in California during the same timespan.
