I was rooting for Italy early in the tournament, but I’m glad to see this win for Venezuela, which has been the backbone of the MLB for several years now.

Man, I never know what to do when a post goes viral.

As our administration seemed to think at after a few bombs the Iranian protesters would overthrow the government, and was surprised it didn’t happen, now they are trying to imply that the new ayatollah is gay, hoping that homophobia will do the job. The dumbest people.

I think Timothée Chalamet will eventually get an Oscar, but just doing a series of Oscar bait movies gets really tired. Same for Leo…

Saw ads for the Oscars stating that it’s broadcast on ABC, and streaming on HULU this year…well, just Hulu, as it isn’t on Disney+ w/Hulu. Why do they make it hard when they already know the audience has been shrinking? Will be glad when it moves to YouTube.

If there’s one piece of silver lining to this stupid, Ill-conceived “excursion” with no objectives, is that the rest of the world will look at reducing their reliance on oil. Not the US of course, we’re still trying to make a coal comeback.

Boomers getting all Karen when told they need to use the kiosk to order their senior discount coffee.

Seeing movies like Turning Red, Soul and Coco where a writer put a personal story and culture into animation, I wonder if Pete Docter implied they didn’t want to make a movie one writer’s therapy session, but matched with the claim about Elio, it sounded as if the audience would need therapy.

I would die for him.

Kristi Noem, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could just go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?

A word that bugs me with it’s pronunciation is: demonstrative di-ˈmän(t)-strə-tiv It’s not demonstrate-ive, nor is it Deeemon straight ive. In a sentence, Trump’s dementia is demonstratively true.

Remember those days of 4-5 dollar gas ($7 in CA). Well, it may be back. Thanks republicans.

There’s a lot of crap going on, but… Just because Anthropic held up a couple of its principals Doest mean you need to use their product as a reward.

“Incredible Value For Shareholders” David Zazlav destroyer of the arts.

Doof!

I know it would be difficult to change how things are organized, but outside of the team sports, the Olympics should dump the nationalism. Individuals who make it to the games compete for themselves and not have the burden to represent their country.

Feels odd voting in the primary in 2026 for a county judge candidate “Buster Brown” 👞👞

I demand a check for all the tariffs taxes I’ve paid in the last year. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Meta is a group of platforms with algorithms. Meta has tried to be both a media and games company with failing results. They tried to get into corporate communications with there metaverse crap and got killed by Zoom, or all things. What for goodness sake is there need to keep burning cash on AI?

I decided to buy peacock for a month to watch the superbowl and the Olympics, but I got caught watching The Traitors again. I love Alan Cumming’s hosting, but the US show is the worst. Now I’m watching the UK celebrity season and this is fucking great! Just a well casted season.

Mmmm. youtu.be/wdGJ1LPOg5c?...

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is a really crazy, very dark comedy adventure. Worth seeing.

Americans. Republicans are trying to create a poll tax. That poll tax is a passport. Right now they are removing the ability for local libraries to help process passports. Process time is growing. If you do not have one, you need to get one now.

There’s a car salesman, Don Huffines, who’s currently running for Texas Comptroller and previously ran for governor. He’s a royal MAGA asshole. His car dealer slogan is “Huffines has it” What he apparently has the ownership of the former Epstein Ranch in NM www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Next year’s SuperbOwl is on Valentine’s Day, so for some current love song performances could the halftime performance be a K-Pop group(or groups)?

I am impressed that Peacock has the Spanish in the Closed Captions, except when BB spoke a line and it gave the standard <speaking in Spanish>.

they should leave this maze on the field for the rest of the game

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

That ad with the woman stuck halfway in the elevator reminded me the late night movie I accidentally saw as a child where the building’s AIR slices a woman in half by the elevator falling. Traumatic.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Andy Coen -instant boycott on product advertised.

I’m always amazed by Green Day’s longevity. Always fun. #Bunnybowl

Team Ruff and Team Fluff, why is it always these same teams every Puppy Bowl. Are we sure the league isn’t rigged?

Watching the feed of yesterday’s Milan opening ceremonies. (Not the NBC cut of it) it’s nice, solid about the area culture, nothing groundbreaking. Odd spit of the athletes’ march. They sang Prisencolinensinainciusol, a song from the 70s, and it was hilarious to see the captions try to translate it

The one thing I have to say about this week’s Starfleet Academy: “Mork calling Orson, Come in Orson.”

I’d hate to tell the Senators about help desks. cybernews.com/news/waymo-o...

The folks in charge of this alternative halftime show seem very cagey about the logistics. There’s no in-person tickets or any venue listed. I’m going to guess that the Kirk widow will appear and introduce a pre-taped song from each artist from some previous concert.

So Bezos, not wanting to fund a National newspaper anymore, is cutting the Washington Post to the bone, and basically making it a city/region paper, but a city paper without a sports section? Odd.

When Democrats have the gavels back, we need to dismantle DHS and ensure that immigration is handled how it should be — as a CIVIL system. In the meantime, we won’t stop pushing for guardrails to ICE and CBP.

All that bluster about the superbowl halftime and JD’s squeeze could still only muster Kid Rock. TPUSA=TEMU

:checks in on the Grammys: Oh, they are talking to Bad Bunny, cool. Move to Justin Bieber performance :checks out on the Grammys:

Seeing a reverse reviewbombing of Melania. To a T all the positive reviews say that it’s “classy” because there’s nothing of substance to base a review on. It’s also funny that the biggest fans of Trump have to go waste an hour and 44 minutes watching this slop to try to prove that it’s not a flop

I’m glad I didn’t go into the office yesterday. My employer didn’t close the office like they did on Monday, but they didn’t do anything to clear the parking lot of ice, either. Because the schools are still closed, the office is a ghost town today. The roads are a slushy mess.

I guess there’s more to learn, but lil’ Bovino being sent back home doesn’t seem to mean ICE/Border Control goons are leaving Minneapolis, though tactics may change. Still the higher leadership is in place. This should NOT let Senate democrats go back on their promise to vote down ICE funding!!!

Well, the frozen precipitation is over, now a night of record breaking cold. My office already said to work from home tomorrow and Tuesday. We may see going over freezing briefly Tuesday.

I wish this was a gun free country. The US however doesn’t have the political will to restrict guns, not in our legislatures or courts, even as restrictions have been brought up several times. We have whole lobby groups to keep the status quo. That being said, most citizens have the right to own…

Idk. I was angry when I made this.

This is what all your Texas friends are going through this weekend.

Congrats to Indiana for an all win season with the longer playoffs. But really, is there any truth to a student-athlete anymore in college football now that some of them get paid and can change colleges each year?
