Did you know the modern soccer ball was invented by Adidas in 1968? It was first used in World Cup play in 1970. The reasoning was that the mix of black and white hexagons and pentagons (a shape called a truncated icosahedron!) helped viewers on black and white television sets track the motion of the ball on the field.
Pretty revolutionary.
The following list doesn’t have a cool name like truncated icosahedron, but it can still help you track the motion of all the cool kids tonight. To that end, here are all of your Monday moves.

Critical Darling at The Wild Detectives
Brigham Mosley brings his dragged up, musical performance art piece to the hip Oak Cliff coffee shop. So says his press release: “It’s a blistering critique of all that’s critical; a dismantling of identity, politics, and identity politics. Plus original songs that, let’s be real here, will probably win all the Grammys.”
