At the Packers / Broncos game. There were a bunch of green shirts / jerseys walking in but I don’t see them in the stands. Im guessing they’re still at the bars or getting a beer inside.

I was just talking to a friend about the issues with FIDE and the state of the "World Chess Champion" and how tournaments are presented and run in top chess ... and I realized I was basically just saying Jukido points from WMAC Masters ... but about chess ...

Santa and the Raptors superfan

I gotta shout out @sorenbowie.bsky.social who noted in front of this whole Sam Altman "How do I parent" hilarity how just kid raising books in general were so hilariously condescending to men vs. women. e.g. comparing to food sizes and reminding like "their heads are delicate, don't drop them."

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

It is not hyperbole to note that Nikola Jokic’s absurd efficiency his season is costing him triple doubles.

Everyone out here’s talking 6-7 but the cool folk like @slatron.bsky.social know 6/8 is where it’s at.

Rewatching Babylon 5 season 4 with @slatron.bsky.social and lemme tell you, the arc about insane Emperor Cartagia, who makes horrible decisions and his advisors all just go along with it out of fear is a bit on the nose ...

I almost forgot. Happy Gobbledegooker day to all who celebrate. Why not finish your Thanksgiving by listening to @moviehooligan.bsky.social play "is he dead or alive" with @heytherejeffro.bsky.social and @nerdnumbers.com as they look back at the 1990 Survivor Series. youtu.be/wAufJBWR7lM?...

Reel Big Fish Reel Big Fish Reel Big Fish Reel Big Fish (warp tour) Reel Big Fish I’m like a Phish fan but I like mine big, with horns, and spelled correctly.

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Show me where in the rules it says I can’t have pie for every meal over Thanksgiving weekend?

The Westing Game

I find it amusing that in Sci-Fi the belief is -- humans would never consider computers sentient -- e.g., "Measure of a Man" in Star Trek TNG, when the reality is the flipside -"No, your toaster isn't alive because it asked you if you wanted it extra crispy!"

Watched my first #Babylon5 because @nerdnumbers.com + @slatron.bsky.social asked, and was NOT ready for an alien tripping on a powdery white substance. HOW did this air on ’90s TV without a “very special episode” tag? Hear my flabbers get gasted on the “You Gotta Check This Out” podcast, Eps 9 & 9b

@thelogantrent.bsky.social @johnnyrimes.bsky.social Warrior HAS to count as WWE movie right? Kurt Angle is in it. Sure he barely speaks, but like ... it counts, right?

I'm shocked there's not a good gif of either Tom Hardy fighting in this movie (ok, not that shocked, as discussed, it didn't do that hot in the box office) or from "The Dark Knight Rises" to use to describe me and Jeff arguing the subtext of Tommy's actions. You should comment I'm right though.

The latest episode of NERD! is available for free everywhere! We talked about 2011's Warrior, which is way better than it has any right being. It's also a movie @nerdnumbers.com hadn't seen yet. Come listen for free on Patreon.com/jeffmay or anywhere else you find Jeff Has Cool Friends!

Cedric Maxwell is the only Finals MVP that is not in the Naismith Hall of Fame. Compromise, given recent issues for Chauncey Billups, could just give him Chauncey's spot ...

Who tf sees a rabbit or turtle?? Y'all blind. That's Godzilla.

there is really nothing like it

Real "trivia question" time, as in, I don't know the answer. When is the last time an NBA team traded a known MVP caliber player in their prime when the player wasn't demanding a trade (or wanted out, i.e. Shaq in Orlando) I legit can't think of one.

This Date in Evil Inc History: Nov. 11, 2013 — I'm still kinda proud of this one...

Regular reminder that AG was robbed in the dunk contest.

Love in Star Wars, Luke is like "I can't wait to ditch this backwater boring planet!" And Ben's like - "To do that we must go to the bar frequented by the best pilots and ... the devil! Also, hope we don't run into the slug gangster with the space yacht to the giant dessert monster."

Victor Wembanyama is currently on pace for 385 ... no pressure!

this is why the top of the uprights should have a laser light on them, like the beam in Sacramento

My son has recently gotten into birds and has said a Blue Jay is his favorite. FWIW, he's been very nonplused when I've attempted to show him baseball, explaining that one team is called the Blue Jays.

Look, Babylon 5 turned out amazingly and Richard Moll had a stellar career (RIP, you awesome awesome human), but a part of me is always going to feel sad we never saw a @straczynski.bsky.social B5 spinoff about Richard Moll as Blade/Matrix style space criminal.

Michael Jordan is clearly an all-time great basketball player. There's no debating that. However, why do people who idolize Jordan act like he didn't retire in his PRIME to go play minor league baseball that he was terrible at?

Victor Wembanyama is in a similar category to Nikola Jokic where it's hard to realize how amazing they are because of how used to absurd games you get. Jokic outinely put ups "career night" numbers for most players, even All-Stars, that don't phase me. "Oh a 30-point triple double? Seen it!"

Thanks @basketball-reference.com for verifying what I already knew. @nuggets.bsky.social Aaron Gordon is very much like Wilt Chamberlain ... www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_...

Also, the Hornets changing their name in the NBA to the Pelicans was wild for a variety of reasons, but the silliest and saddest was losing the "PORNOH" abbreviation when they played the Blazers.

Look, there are lots of obvious reasons to root for the Mariners, but "Sea Lad" as the best team name abbreviation across a few weeks of sports? Come on! #WorldSeries

Not only am I opening this box today at 4pm Pacific, but I'll be accepting @nerdnumbers.com challenge to show off the weirdest graded card in my collection! Come watch and hang! www.youtube.com/live/SXKenEA...

Well, they aren't called the Goodgers

A’ja Wilson put up like a Reverse-Shaq like shooting line in the #WNBAFinals

When you see a social media post highlighting the struggles of raising a neurodiverse child, but then see all of the comments are just about how the kid needs more discipline.

The prettiest jumper in the game of basketball #WNBAFINALS #AjaWilson

Pierre, South Dakota, is pronounced like “peer,” not like the French name.

A'Ja Wilson - 34 points Rest of Aces starters ... 34 points .... (A'Ja did it on 20 shots and 12 free throws compared to 35 shots and 9 free throws for the rest of the starters ...) #WNBAFinals

So psyched for Cody Rhodes to play Guile in the new Street Fighter movie. A silly joke conspiracy theory I've had is in the original Street Fighter, someone suggested Rob Van Dam and someone misunderstood and that's why we got Jean-Claude Van Damme.

This episode has Mike running afoul with the fashion police for, spoiler alert, not the first time. And Richard Moll aka Bull from Night Court and Two-Face from BTAS is dressed up as Blade … on a space station.

Latest episode of You Gotta Check This Out! Is on the feed. Our guest is Taylor Anthony as we discuss Babylon 5 Season 2 episode 10, "Hunter, Prey" open.spotify.com/show/4IQrAJ7...

. @thelogantrent.bsky.social @johnnyrimes.bsky.social …. I was too busy this weekend and almost missed this … and I’m infuriated that I’m going to lose an hour and half listening to this, but, we all agree, it’s a must listen Patreon.com/gamefullyynemployed (@gamefullyunemployed) episode, right?

"Buy my Soybeans!"

That’s until my startup to make robots powered by the ghost of Alan Thicke takes off. (also RIP to an all time great)
