@benmandelker.bsky.social We live in a glorious time wherein Stephanie Hodge is appearing on two TV shows (#juryduty and #thecomeback). Can that Nurses reboot be far behind?

March of the ants #boardgames

For the past six weeks I’ve been totally consumed with The Golden Crappies. Now that it’s over I want to dive back into my substack but sort of have writers block. Any food things you all want me to write about? Or any ideas for inspo?

Here are all the #boardgames I played last month. It’s a lot! And of course my game of the month: youtu.be/GxJEU0o5Q1E?...

I fully support everyone's choices for their own lists, but it feels strange to me that not a single reality TV show made the "Best Of" at the New York Times. I continue my crusade that Bravo produces series that deserve to be in the conversation.

Top 25 #realhousewives cast in season 5 or later. A work in progress:

TIL Thee Ben Mandelker has a Substack and oh! the way I just RAN 💯 This is the feel good content we NEED rn! 💕 you Benoonies!!!!

Thanks @benmandelker.bsky.social for this delicious recipe! I got pan-fried gyoza from a local shop, mixing chili crunch from Trader Joe’s with the dipping sauce for a perfect vinaigrette. Plus heirloom tomatoes from my CSA farm share.

Ben's #KeepIt: "This is not the Project Runway I want to watch. They decided they were going to reality-show it up. We have all sorts of reality show elements that i never asked for. Way too much silliness, it feels like any other reality show." - @benmandelker.bsky.social youtu.be/Ryf0N9Vd_ys?...

I made another #boardgames video. This time I'm talking about games that are great for 6 players (or more!). I'm not talking about party games — those are great too — but chunkier, more strategic options. youtu.be/lUh5gNMx5Kk?...

My gut agrees but then I thought about all those cringey Seth scenes. It’s def an elite show - I just thought the other shows were EVEN better.

#RHOM may be hard to top by any show this year.

Shout out to @danthurot.bsky.social and @benmandelker.bsky.social for putting this on my radar. Finally got it to the table and it was emotionally evocative and evocative of its theme. I’m not sure, with my group, we would ever steer this game to a victory. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37...

Here’s a tour of my #boardgame shelf of shame: youtu.be/L3NkIuH5KaY?...

I may not tell anyone if i win the lottery but there will be signs (purchasing new board games) This one sounds so fun 😫

You know #mcbeedynasty is a fail when they go and come back from a cast trip in one episode... and still need to pad out ten minutes at the end of the ep.

Last week on #McBeeDynasty: I can't believe he took a trip! It's the harvest! This is outrageous! This week: we're going on a trip!
