I’m really impressed by the variety of puns you can get out of Bari Weiss. Nice work, everyone. Bari well done.

PBS FRONTLINE's "Surviving CECOT" is incredible, disturbing, moving, and they didn't self censor.

Who else is in the “I have a Mahomes led fantasy team, managed to eek into week two of the playoffs, scrambled to find a backup QB and started JJ” club?

Ah, the time honored holiday tradition of tossing out all the spoiled food in your parent’s fridge.

12 Dates Til Christmas has no business going as hard as it does. Mae Whitman is a delight as always and damn you Prime for bait and switching me with the ol’ here’s a show you’ll like but you have to watch the rest on some obscure streamer trick.

Not a holiday, but it was a party. No, not that kind of party.

I’m moving this month so it doesn’t make sense to decorate for Christmas but I still put up my tree (no topper, ornaments, or skirt - just lights) and a single holiday candle. And I gotta say I’m kinda living for this low maintenance holiday.

My vote: Stream it! It’s strange that HBO did virtually no promotion and then dropped it in Dec when it’s bookended by Thanksgiving scenes. Could have played on both the nostalgia of the original film and gotten ahead of all the Christmas drivel 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Hrm. May have to find a new one. Not sure how much longer I can listen to these guys. Anyone have a suggestion for a good Donner Party podcast? I have 3 hours to kill.

I grew up going to Truckee/Donner in the winter and I live in Tahoe full time now so when I ended up on Donner Party TikTok last week I was sat. Now I’m preparing to drive down to the Bay with the DP episodes of Last Podcast on the Left queued up and I am pumped.

This story really took an unexpected turn

How are there multiple stories that involve garlic in pie???

When you have Josh Allen and the Texans D/ST on your fantasy team

Imagine being the richest person in the world and being able to do anything with your money and you choose to build a bot that worships you.

Almost all of the ornaments were just removed from Taylor Swift’s site. That’s suspicious.

There are a lot of ridiculous penalties in the NFL, but celebration penalties are the worst.

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Feeling pretty good about the option I made on Tesla about a decade ago. It has aged well.

Someone asked, “Is Indie Synth Pop to Millennials as Yaght Rock is to Boomers?” and I just died a little inside.

“Flux capacitor…fluxing” is an underrated quote

Back to the Future is the perfect transition movie from spooky season to cozy season.

I haven’t watched any of these games for more than a few minutes but from what I gather the Jays have had approx 297 opportunities to close out this series and yet here they are going to extras in game 7.

I refuse to watch this game so just following along on the socials and caught a brief live from a Jays fan: “Hey the bases are loaded eh.”

Every time a starter comes in in relief they compare him to Madison Bumgarner in game seven and all it ever does is prove why other dudes are simply not Madison Bumgarner.

SF, stop showing off. The other cities will get jealous.

It would be really fun for the not Dodgers to win the World Series. I say this not as a Giants fan but as a baseball fan.

I tried watching Poor Things for what felt like 3 hours (it was 1:20) and looked up to see there’s still another full hour left. I can’t do it. Turns out this film is not for me. At least Kirk’s were short films.

Watching Poor Things and it feels like a third film by kirk

According to y’all, Weapons is either the best movie of the year or complete trash. Personally, I loved it and the more I sit with it, the more I like it.

Based on the stat Fox flashed, including postseason, the 49ers have averaged about 14 players per game unavailable due to injury during the Shanahan era.

Everyone thinks their team is always injured. Niners take it to a whole different level.

Wait…the World Series had a half time show? I’m not one of those no bat flips no fun baseball purists but that is just bizarre.

Why is Max Muncy still a thing?

Someone must be new to sports. Aside from booing the star player on an opposing team being completely normal in this case there’s a history between the team and the player that makes it even more extra normal.

We are all Jays fans now

I really miss the Giants being in the playoffs and then games like this happen and I remember what it feels like to be stuck in the fetal position for three hours feeling like you’re going to barf and yeah…I still miss it.

Tonight’s Spooky movie selection is Host. I’m 10 minutes in and I’m not sure which is more triggering - the Covid lockdown setting or how it’s filmed from a zoom call POV.

I recently bought a new house and my neighbor across the street whom I’ve spoken to exactly once waited until I left and then filled my recycling bin until it was overflowing with her Amazon boxes. Hiding stuff from her husband maybe? Weird behavior either way.

At some point the coaching and training staff needs to be looked at. This is out of control.

As part of my October moviethon, without realizing what I was doing, I watched two movies I’ve never seen back to back: Death Becomes Her and The Substance. And oh boy was that a wild ride.

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

When you’re playing on a 14 team fantasy league, why even have a bench? Only one player is even eligible and he scored less than 1 point. And no, there’s no one better to pick up on waivers.

Are. You. Kidding. Me.

Niners reacting well to being looked at as underdogs

CT was very obviously not shown in the mid season preview so tonight wasn’t a surprise but it sure was disappointing.

Turns out turnovers aren’t a winning strategy

Hulu/Disney coming out with a price increase now is wild. They’re like fine, here’s Kimmel back, now give us more money.

Brutal Niners game but they found a way to just keep winning. Also very cathartic that it came down to a winning field goal.

Sheryl Crow in response her experience at Woodstock 99 back in 1999: “That was so shocking for me and I’m hoping it’s not representing our future as a nation or the youth of America.” Welp.
