I had a blast at Predator: Badlands. Elle Fanning & Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi have great chemistry (especially for a robot & an alien). Amazing work from Dan Trachtenberg the production team. This solidifies there’s a great 100 million dollar Star Wars just waiting to get made. Let ‘em do it!

I must have missed the memo these were back. The nostalgia kicked in so hard I had to get them.

I’m sure the goodwill won’t last long but I love how easily Trump fell for the Mamdani charm.

Anybody who wastes time voting to join Republicans in some lame show of force against one of the few rising stars in your dying party while ignoring the genocide we’re actively funding plus all the deaths from our own capitalist system is deeply unserious and doesn’t actually deserve higher office.

The name Buzz Grambo would make one hell of a Glup Shitto in an Andor spin-off. Just saying.

I didn’t realize the United Health guy was still doing music. I owe you an apology Jesse Welles. I wasn't really familiar with your game.

I love Stargate the movie but somehow missed the boat on the show. Maybe after I finish Babylon 5 it’ll be time to check it out (although I’ve had Farscape in the queue a while too). Anyway, glad to see people excited for its return!

Hahaha bravo you crazy bastard

Let’s get weird Yorgos

One hour to go until the true return of Peak TV

So despite Paramount siding with the forces of darkness and so many new ‘Untitled Star Trek’ films announced in the last few years that all went nowhere, I thought Honor Among Thieves and Game Night were great so hey good luck! Fingers crossed!

Every passing day reveals that Socko was right.

I want my kid to be able to watch stories made by real human artists not some shitty mad libs slop generator.

Well the updated forecast sure looks like I’m gonna miss it now haha

Personally I’m a give Thanksgiving time to breathe kind of guy but my wife said it was time

Oh yeah I’m not gonna miss this tonight

Well of course the only Tuesday night I go out we get the highest aurora activity since last fall.

Exciting game. Had a lot of fun. Really should do this more often.

Somebody in our section NEEDS to go see their GI because they’re having some truly unholy farts this evening.

Sports

For some reason the Jame Bond thing sort of just reminds me the world is currently run by deeply unimaginative people. “But he’s dead!” So what? “We’ve never done it that way!” Cool maybe this new way will work better! Stop banging your head against a wall and give someone else a shot!

As a great man once said “Continuity is for wimps”

After some coaching my kiddo will now say “Daddy I’m not going to say ‘what the heck’” instead of well, you get the point. I applaud his effort. (One of the fun battles of parenting seems to be trying to keep a serious face when you just want to crack up all the time.)

The End of an Era, I subscribed from May of 1999 till 2010 I think. Picked up issues here & there since but I felt bad that print inevitably fell behind the viral breaking news on the Internet in the sequel era. Great source of short stories though. It’ll be missed. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

I only have myself to blame, but man this should have been a bigger wake up call at the time. Like this is the whole Senate in a nutshell. The system operates exactly as it was designed to. So it’s time to change the system.

Look I keep trying to give these old bastards a chance to rise to the occasion and every time they disappoint. It’s their own damn fault when they get left behind.

We’ve only got R’a repping us here but I messaged Schumer’s office all the same. Does it change the outcome? Probably not. But it took less than 5 minutes and it felt better than doing nothing. Now we wait.

A House of Dynamite is solid but def. not an upper. A tense couple of hours deconstructing the mythology around our nuclear deterrence strategy & I appreciate it doesn’t rely on flashy destruction scenes to build a sense of dread. That said it’s even scarier knowing who is in the WH right now.

Catch Me if You Can is such a great weekend afternoon kind of movie

I’m late to the Vince Gilligan party (I’m still working through my 1st watch of Breaking Bad) but oh boy is Pluribus deserving of the hype! Check it out!

I’ve had to listen to the rationalizations the gerrymandered Ohio map deal & now SCOTUS blocking SNAP benefits was dems making the best of a bad situation & is somehow good actually. I don’t buy it. None of the decision makers will suffer the outcomes. We can’t play by a rigged set of rules & win.

I liked the Star Trek: Khan podcast. Nice performances by Naveen Andrews & Wrenn Schmidt, Sonya Cassidy, George Takei, & Tim Russ. They gave Khan nuance without turning him into an uwu smol bean. Would have loved more Eugenics War stuff. I think the audio drama format is ripe for more Trek stories.

Yo-Yo Ma was incredible. For his encore, he was joined by the music director & the principle cellist to perform the traditional Catalan piece The Song of the Birds that the famous cellist Pablo Casals played as an act of resistance in exile during Francoist era Spain. That’s why he’s the GOAT.

GOOD MORNING

Zohran’s campaign has given me so much hope. They’re gonna be coming at him from all directions but for now I’m choosing to celebrate. I reject the idea that his platform can’t be adapted outside NYC & I’ve been so energized by becoming a DSA member this year. Join us! act.dsausa.org/donate/membe...

They really squandered a great cast. Yes, retreading TOS was limiting at times, but they were fun movies (well 2 of them were at least). Not excited for whatever “non-woke” thing the c-suite tries to push out instead. Hope I’m wrong.

Personally, I would simply choose not to live life in a way that resulted in the deaths of millions of people, but hey I’m just some guy what do I know? 🤷🏻‍♂️

All those years of watching PBS growing up will finally culminate in getting to see the GOAT perform in person tomorrow night. Very excited.

Look I never believed there was any bad blood between these two, but let me tell you, things have been happening the last few weeks that I never would have imagined in a million years. Sequel trilogy fans are eating good for once.

Lord they got me standing in the living room rn

There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.

This is why I hate getting invested in sports! I’m old I just wanna go to bed!

You just know big things are happening when they’ve got me watching baseball

Just voted. Still bummed our demsoc candidate for city council had to drop out but hopefully we can hold off some republican attempts to meddle in city government. The little guy did the kids ballot for the first time & thought it was fun so that’s at least something.

Look I knew the GOP would push through more gerrymandering, but to see the Dems accept a map that further erodes representation in Cincinnati & Toledo instead of fighting for fair maps across Ohio is appalling. This is my home, I want to fight for it, but what good is it if our reps sell us out?

My wife and I are watching a ghost hunting show for fun and out of nowhere it sounds like a pack of coyotes is running through the neighborhood outside. Scared the absolute shit out of us! Confirmed the sound was real on the doorbell camera, but seriously, what the fuck was that?!?!
