This is basically the inverse of The Mist. Whereas that movie was a slog to get through before a tremendous climax, The Long Walk has a very meh ending after a spectacular journey to get there. Still quite worth the watch, but disappointed by the very whelming finale. trakt.tv/movies/the-l...

It's been a couple weeks without ultimate and I'm already over this off season. Spring can't come soon enough... I'm gonna be so bored all winter.

Let's see how long our state can keep these environmental disasters away. I'm worried it won't be for too long, but hopeful we'll try to hold out. gizmodo.com/you-may-have...

This is one of my favorite parts of the Timberwolves season. I want every last one of these to exist so I could wear them.

Just some selfies of me and the 3yo from when the weather was slightly warmer than now.

Absolutely loving the extended run the bench players are getting tonight. Bones shooting the lights out, Beringer getting blocks, Miller looking…like a basketball player. Even Ingles making some sweet passes. This is super fun scrub time!

Watching The Long Walk while on the treadmill is an interesting way for me to keep my pace up 😅

Just do this everywhere. That something like "tax the rich so school kids can have food" needs to be voted on (and doesn't get 100% of the vote) routinely boggles my mind. The selfishness of such wide swaths of our society makes me profoundly sad.

This film is definitely not for everyone, but it is DEFINITELY for me. Non-stop action, wonderfully choreographed fights, a hyper-kinetic approach, and some decent humor make for a fully engaged watch. I loved it and think anyone who enjoys action will get a kick out of it. trakt.tv/movies/boy-k...

Don't threaten us with a good time this Thanksgiving.

So it looks like tonight's Wolves game is ALSO on Peacock again. Why the hell am I paying for FanDuel when it can't provide all the Wolves games? It's not like it's a cheap service...

Is it just me, or do hamstring injuries never seem to heal fully? I did have a grade 2 tear mid-summer, but even months later after feeling back to (mostly) full strength, all it took was making a hard cut in ultimate yesterday to wreck it again.

Was reminiscing with the 8yo about when we built a trampoline together this summer. Now it's a leaf repository after all the leaves fell 😅

What kind of bullshit is this? The Wolves game is only on Peacock? Who the hell has Peacock? I already pay for FanDuel Sports to stream games. I'm not gonna pay for YET ANOTHER pointless streamer for a regular season game. Sigh..... Go Wolves, I guess. I'll check the box score in the morning.

This felt like a spy thriller ripped out of the late 90s/early 00s. Which means it was... fine. I never felt like our protagonist was ever truly in danger and the "what if MacGyver was an IT dork" got less believable as the film went on. But I was entertained. So... 🤷‍♂️ trakt.tv/movies/the-a...

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Honestly, the company would be better off without him. Especially when we have quotes like this combined with his far right belief structure. Little good can come from it. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/27/t...

"You're welcome!"

Trunk or treat time with the kiddos!

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

Even Potato has a hard time waking up on the weekends.

Can we just make this our usual court design and keep the purple jersey as our primary home jersey? They're easily the best looking versions of each for the Wolves.

Being late to everything means you’re a bad person. A key narcissistic personality trait: letting other people know they and their time are not important compared to whatever you feel like doing at a given moment.

Dammit. I've gotta add to my project list to dump Ring and replace their devices with something else at our house. I don't have time for this shit. yro.slashdot.org/story/25/10/...

Didn't make it out yesterday, but the 8yo made a sign for the house!

I really wish they'd finished out this series. It was a cool concept and I dug the art style. #CBCS

Finally got around to watching this. It was good... a tad bit over long and it doesn't really go off the rails until the final 1/4 of the film, but otherwise a great mish-mash of a creature feature and social commentary on youth & hypersexualization. trakt.tv/movies/the-s...

Thinking back on the summer and how much of a pain in the ass searching for a new tech job was. I applied to 96 jobs, made it through countless initial interviews, and was a finalist for 3 roles (where they went with the other candidate) before landing my current role.

An interesting smattering of albums I've been listening to over the last month....

Happy end of Win10 support day, for those who celebrate! Who else is gonna be living life on the edge b/c their machine can't upgrade to Win11 and is in no way in need of being trashed to purchase a new computer?

Happy Ides of October

Can we just instantly strip a lawyer of their practice license if they're found to be using unsupervised AI in litigation? Heck, if they're using AI to do anything other than pull back cases for them to research, kick 'em to the curb. yro.slashdot.org/story/25/10/...

If you told me that I'd be jamming the hell out of a twangy country infused metalcore tune written about the tragedy of watching someone fade away while fighting alzheimer's... I'd have been anxiously awaiting this song (and album). This slaps. youtu.be/jXcqkpDtKEo?...

Nothing better on a Monday morning than reading about how we've irrevocably messed things up for our kids' and their kids' time spent on this planet. www.404media.co/earths-clima...

3yo: There's the fire station! Me: Yeah, and all the trucks are there! 3yo: Awww... they're not working. Me: That means there are no fires. That's good! 3yo: I want to see them work! Me: Fire is dangerous so I'm glad they aren't working right now. 3yo: [evil grin] Tomorrow there will be a fire....

That's..... not how science works.

In college I would often wait until a paper was due before handing in my well-researched and annotated final draft that I'd completed days before. Because I was a friggin' dork. Gen AI can still get bent, though.

I wish that companies would just open source their retired tech instead of creating loads more e-waste. tech.slashdot.org/story/25/10/...

Picking up my weekly Caribou order and after I said hello at the drive thru, the barista told me my order without me saying a thing. I guess I've reached regular status. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.....

Making some 3D printed Kpop Demon Hunters party favors to give away to my kiddo's friends....

I'm not sure what I expected from Star Trek: Section 31... and I'm still not sure why I ultimately watched it after the bad reviews (glutton for punishment?). It was not outright bad enough to laugh at & definitely wasn't good. It felt like an extended late-season ep written during a writers strike.

Disney losing 1.7 million subs in a week is... pretty amazing. I know they have ~125 million subscribers, but even a 1.4% haircut in a week is notable. Especially since cancelling subs is such a hassle to do (I know I hadn't gotten around to it yet...). gizmodo.com/how-many-str...

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

I may be in the minority, but I actually love having a morning NFL game to flip on while playing with the kids during their activity time.

Visiting the family farm, went for a nostalgia run out to my "5k tree". It's a tree I used as a milestone on my 5k training route. It's not quite as lush these days.

I'll wait until I watch Final Reckoning to truly judge this one, since it is only part of the story, but this was again a fun, action-packed, psuedo-espionage film that really benefits from watching on a huge screen in 4k. The MI films continue to be big budget winners. trakt.tv/movies/missi...

"Open the parking bay doors, Hal." "I’m sorry, Rick. I’m afraid I can’t do that."

Thursday night football is a stuttering, buffering, often low res mess tonight. Good lord, Amazon, this is garbage.

This was an intriguing little film. It uses a sci-fi concept (alien researching humans) to drill in on the concept of dealing with grief after a tragic loss. Some of the film explores this really well. Other parts.... sorta. It's a good "small" film that has heart. trakt.tv/movies/i-m-t...

The kids. Being kids.
