Music, Basketball, Politics, Data. That's what I like.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Lots of unhinged corners of the Internet, but the NYT Cooking Instagram comments might be at the top of the list.

[David Bradford @catchadave]

Jurickson Profar rising quickly up this list.

1. Carlos Correa
2. Yuli Gurriel
3. Madison Bumgarner

@grantsharpies That Sweeping Promises album is so good and underrated. Made my personal top 10 last year.

Lest I seem too nostalgic for Twitter, Instagram has really done nearly as good a job at turning itself into an awful, unuseable app. Feed might as well not even exist; it’s basically just all stories now and then a feed of suggested reels and ads I have no interest in.

Live look at my household:

It's almost better that this happened on the national stage. If you all saw us actually beat Miami, you would have gotten an inaccurate view of us. Now you know what it is.

[Michael Silver @MikeSilver]

Well, that's the full Cal experience

[David Bradford @catchadave]

We really were up 35-10.

@rapturehelmet @tipping_pitches "Why am I seeing the players 2, 4, and even 9 batters away? 😡"

College Gameday at Cal and the Dodgers' first playoff game. It's too much for one day.

@dnharper @MattZeitlin My wife used to make fun of Ringo endlessly and thought he was pointless, but after Get Back, he's her favorite Beatle.

10/10 deep cut and my favorite sign so far on @CollegeGameDay

I did say when it came out that Waxahatchee's MJ Lenderman-featuring "Right Back To It" was like prime Shaq and Kobe teaming up.

Peak 2024 music moment

[RedditCFB @RedditCFB]

One of those rare covers that exceeds the original, like Jimi Hendrix’s All Along the Watchtower or Johnny Cash’s Hurt.

“Cal Twitter, I was not familiar with your game”

Story on the rise of the all-powerful Calgorithm and Cal’s irreverent online community.

Missing rappers from Pitchfork's songs list:

Vince Staples
Denzel Curry
Future
Tyler, the Creator
Little Simz
Black Thought
JPEGMAFIA
Anyone from Griselda

I didn't expect all of them to be represented, but to have NONE of them? Crazy to me.

[David Bradford @catchadave]

Pitchfork's list of the 100 best songs of the 2020s so far is the most out of touch I've felt with their lists in a long time. Lots of electronic, and the rap they listen to now is not the rap I listen to.

[Zack Stentz @MuseZack]

This is as if the Bene Gesserit sisterhood decided to produce the Generation X messiah.

[David Bradford @catchadave]

Their pop selections are pretty spot-on. They correctly identified the best Olivia Rodrigo song (it's "good 4 u").
