The wife has asked to see the Odysessy and tickets have been acquired for Saturday morning in the very nice seats. Should be a grand old time.

I love thinking outside the box and hats off to this music school for doing just that. www.cbc.ca/radio/undert...

This blocking is only marginally better than Stranger Things season 5 :|

Oh baby, I am so there!

Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here's a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.

Heads up: this account, which has more than thirteen thousand followers, has been posting AI images and blocking people who point out that it’s AI. Calibrate your trust meters accordingly.

As a long time movie lover, sci-fi and fantasy guy who has watched many a Marvel and DC film over the last 50 years... This looks uninspired and uncreative. It will be a pass for me.

There is not a lot of magic left in the world, so when we find it, we have duty to protect it because it is the stuff that dreams and hopes are made from.

We had our partner hotels reaching out to our org to let us know they had lots of vacany during the World Cup, so "please come visit us". www.cnn.com/2026/07/20/b...

The feeling wife has made noises about seeing the Odyssey next weekend because it has some big stars in it. I want to see it for the cyclops. Sounds like a win-win to me.

Waiting for the ref to get the okay from Infantino that the Spain goal can be allowed.

In better news, I replaced my electric mower of 20 years with a newer, bigger one. This is it, folks. This is what will get your motor going in your 50s.

With all that corrupt cash that FIFA has, you think they could have hired better acts for this “show”.

This speech is so fucking gross when you think about how the Iranian national team was treated and the Somalian ref who was banned from participating. Gtfo with that “we’re all together” nonsense

Jesus H Christ… It is like someone had an acid trip and went “I wish I could see a 70s style Vegas budget version of World Cup Entertainment” and a genie said “Sure!” Just get onto the goldfish swallow contest and get it over with.

From the sounds of it, Carney actually waffled on the Gordie Howe bridge deal and lied to the public. The government won’t even release the text of the deal after repeated demands. PP will have a field day with this one.

Season 4 of “From” is landing like a wet sack of sand. Poor writing & pacing along with a larger cycle of “abandon old plot threads & suddenly create new ones we don’t intend to answer” is quite a choice. The performers are doing solid work with the material at least, but it was still a hard watch.

Whoever wished for: (a) Successful opening weekend for The Odyssey and (b) The Tate Brothers getting arrested and facing extradition… You got one wish left so make it count.

Currently soliciting authors: this "new" publisher that appears to be entirely fake, with "team" members whose photos have been stolen, book cover images appropriated from indie authors and other publishers, and a shitty contract www.lexiconpublishing.org

Literally no US or allied bases in the region are safe. Iran's successful counter-sensor campaign will be studied for decades to come, and I believe Iran is winning the escalation dominance game here. This illegal war is truly a terrible idea, I feel so bad for the people of Iran.

I had a fun time at Fanaticon today. A little one day retro theme local con. Picked up a Tarkin figure I had been looking for.

Q: If the city council passes this pay raise bill, you've said you won't accept it. Why? Mayor Mamdani: I will not accept a pay raise. I haven't knocked on anyone's door in New York City and they've said their concern is that the mayor makes too little.

Rewatching the animated Spawn series from the 90s and McFarlane’s intros are hilarious: “Do you think killers can be killed?”

Trump's declassified election intelligence pretty clearly shows that China *could have,* but didn't, meddle in the 2020 election to help Biden win. But that Russia *did* meddle to help Trump win.

We've literally been helping out the US with their wildfires for years. Last year some of the firefighting crew from BC flew to California in a couple of our water bomber planes, to help quell their forest fires.

Trump is going to order the arrest of democratically elected politicians tonight, isn’t he?

This is why I descibe my wife and I as Gomez and Mortica.

"Well, I cannot afford gas or a house. The world hates us and the rich keep getting richer. At least I can still enjoy a nice healthy salad.... Oh, for fucks sake..."

OK.

In "Spawn", the villain wires up his heart to a bunch of bioweapons bombs so that if their heart stops, the bioweapon is releasesd and kills most of the world. Sounds crazy? Yes, but I bet this idiot would try to do the same thing if he saw the movie.

Today, we are having our quarterly reflection at work. The team decided that we would all indulge in our favorite teas during the session. I am happy to say not only do I have many First Nations teas to share, but I got each of them a sample skin care box as well as a thank you for their hard work.

It’s like watching gorillas throw shit at each other but the shit is nukes

Dog owners, there is risk of plastic or metal shards in Pedigree, check your cans. “13.2-ounce cans of Pedigree Can High Protein Chopped Chicken & Duck Flavor from lot codes 613C3KKCFC and 613C1KKCFC”

I will counter that argument by saying I have had as much impact on expanding the NFL in comparison.

If I were the next President of the United States, I would run a lottery: $5 a ticket. 10 winners. Each winner gets 15 minutes to rip as much gaudiness off the walls of the Oval Office as they can.

I finished reading "Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow" this weekend and I now understand why Alan Moore hates Hollywood.

If you want to know about Trump’s deal making abilities, look no further than the Gordie Howe Bridge deal. Originally, Canada was going to keep all toll profits until the bridge was paid off (around 50 years) since we paid for it. New deal: 50/50 split on NET profits for 15 years. 1/2

Today I learned one of the services I use for live video will become much more pricy for me. If you're been enjoying my clipping and/or PN but aren't supporting my work, now would be a great time to do so. The best way is by signing up for a paid sub, but I also accept tips on Venmo (@atrupar). Thx!

Event Horizon

Is the sun real or fake? This is your daily reminder to check! @skylerhigley.bsky.social

I won't tell anyone when I win the lottery, but there will be signs.

Yes, the dinosaurs were the stars of Jurassic Park, but Neil’s portrayal of Dr. Grant deserves to lots of love. Not just his actions as a palaeontologist, but the scene in the tree with the kids gets me in the feels every single time.

RIP Sam Neill who has finally gone where you do not need eyes to see

If you feel like irritating John Mitchinson, a man who stole a lot of money from me, @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social, @alexdecampi.bsky.social, @jordanshiveley.bsky.social and many others, you could always leave a one star review of his podcast. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/b...

Sam Neil was one of the good ones. Loved every thing he was in and loved how he embraced life. Sending much love and peace to his loved ones today,

I remember many years ago, I had a terrible manager whose actions and appraoch put people on stress leave, ruined careers and made everyone around him just suffer. When I heard he passed, some former work colleagues and I went out to lunch to celebrate.

Took tomorrow afternoon off to help my daughter with the collision centre & her insurance claim. She's worried about me missing work and a big new opportunity. "Nothing is more important to me than you, your sisters & your mom." I told her. "All the money in the world cannot replace that."

posting this Classic over here in honor of the big man himself. adios bitch

My daughter was in an accident last night and her car is probably written off. She is fine but I was pretty upset she had to go through something like that. Went to bed pretty down. Thank you, universe. You sure know how to put a smile on my face this morning.
