It’s weird that Russell Crowe is coaching USA men’s soccer.

They don’t deserve to win.

I’m quite surprised they keep their IPs.

6 or 7 multi-unit fires in homes around Seattle tonight. I wonder what the usual stats are. web.seattle.gov/sfd/realtime...

I don’t mind the fireworks a few times a year. What I don’t get is shooting off expensive fireworks hours and hours before sunset.

I watched Nate: A One Man Show last night and am still thinking about it. It’s an examination of consent on multiple levels. Even the exhibitionist/voyeur aspects built into performer/audience (*especially* if the audience didn’t know what they were getting into.)

Oh, Canada.

Racists marching for fascism against Democratic Socialism use democratic socialist infrastructure to travel to their anti-American rally

I’m not sure I can balance Le Tour de France AND World Cup. 😳

That poor 18 year old. Looking forward to seeing his career after this tho.

Mowing, edging and power washing my lawn and driveway as if I had a social media channel.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.

I installed a new smoke alarm in my bedroom yesterday and I swear last night that little green light was casting shadows.

Excl: SIREN HEAD, the viral horror meme, to become a movie...with WEAPONS filmmaker Zack Cregger and Brian Duffield (WHALEFALL) co-writing the script and Duffield to direct...as Warner Bros. wins intense bidding war for rights. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

I saw Backrooms in the theater today and thought it was pretty unique. I was aware of the previous online stuff but hadn’t dug into any lore other than “creepy empty rooms and ambiguous monsters.” Lots of thoughts on it I’m still chewing on.

My kids have not seen the first season of Mandolorean. How relevant/needed is the rest of the series to seeing the movie?

We handed one the presidency twice, so…sure?

I’ve never seen so many misses in a penalty shootout.

Has any actor ever won an Oscar for a performance in a horror movie? Cause Inde Navarrette probably should.

Reposting this again because it can’t get reposted enough.

I have to decide between Obsession and Backrooms today. I feel like Obsession may leave theaters sooner, so maybe that one?

I’ve been in Seattle 22 years and this is the first I’ve marched with the Pride Parade. Keep an eye out for the Disney contingent!

Toy Story 5 is a better sequel to the trilogy than 4 was. It was also pretty weird how they didn’t advertise this as Jessie’s movie.

I’m very tempted to do a full Jackass rewatch, starting with CKY.

Anyone use and like those movie theater member subscriptions? Are there decent ones at AMC or Regal?

Heh, I have a big Steam backlog, and now no PC to play them on, at the worst time to try and get a gaming PC. Whomp whomp. Guess I’m stuck with my Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV, HBO, Prime, comics, books, Blu-Rays backlogs.

This is my dream forecast.

Turkey-yay!

I know it’s part psychological tricks social media plays, but I’m appreciative of all the updoots today.

Could GTA launch tomorrow please? I have some spare time and energy.

My kids and I have 42 hours into Lego Batman Legacy and we’re only at 70% completion.

It is time.

22 years. I joined a few months before Halo 2 shipped. Onto whatever comes next.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina fans have arrived! Even if you're not planning on going to the match, streets in Pioneer Square are open for celebrating and gathering until about two hours after the match ends.

I’ve been to less than 10 pro soccer matches, and after today one will have been a World Cup match.

If video games were priced per entertainment hour the same as comic book monthlies, they’d be like $1800 to $6000 a game.

Traditionally it’s supposed to be 60° and drizzly until July 5th in Seattle. This 88° weather sucks.

I don’t know if it’s “poverty penalty” or what, but special mints are 40% more in Rainier Valley than they are closer to downtown Seattle.

Walking around the Punk Rock Flea market today with the family trying not to stick out like a sore thumb. I *used* to hang out with people who hung out with that crowd.

I’ve seen plenty send-ups and pastiches of detective noir films, but maybe the only actual one I’ve seen is Chinatown? Besides modern takes like LA Confidential, are there any classics in the genre?

With Austin Powers 4 confirmed to be in development, I *really* hope they bring him, and a sidekick from the late 1990’s, and time shift them to 2027 or whenever it comes out. 1967-1997-2027 is perfect. I hope they’re on the ball and get it done.

What an unfortunate combo of author name and book title found in the library’s kids section.

Last Christmas, our pizza place had 20% off gift cards. We always order pizza for our kids when we have a sitter (and other times). They had a limit of $500 per order. Ours lasted almost exactly 6 months. I guess we have a new target price for next year if they do it again.

Every time the announcers pronounce the country correctly, all I can hear is: Turkey

Harper Collins Discovers Misprint stevebrodner.substack.com

I wonder if the folks at Mini Museum have sent anyone down to collect sheets of blue paint peels.

Every time the announcers pronounce the country correctly, all I can hear is: Turkey

i will not let some hitler youth dickhead running a govt twitter account ruin my enjoyment of our extremely multinational, diverse, and beautiful soccer team. thank you for your understanding at this time 👍

Reminder for Americans: you *should* cheer on and be proud of the parts of America you like, and want it to represent, even our government and those who voted for them are garbage.
