Mine is also a bird! I stopped to watch a peregrine falcon dismantle a pigeon on a statue in Central Park with a bunch of other people, and standing right beside me, also watching with admiration, was Matthew Broderick.

hoooooly shit. NINERS WIN.

I MAY NEVER SLEEP AGAIN AFTER THIS FOOTBALL GAME

If the Chicago Bears give my football team the flu tonight I am going to be VERY upset.

It's so weird how my different social media accounts/sites are moving. Here, people are discussing Avatar and a few other things. On my other account? It is 100% Heated Rivalry 100% of the time. And on the third one, just pet pics. It really is different worlds/different arenas. It's wild.

fuckin' beautiful

Heated Rivalry appears to be taking over the world and honestly, after the 2025 we've all endured, I think we deserve it. As a treat.

It is the day before the night before Christmas. I am respectfully asking everyone at my workplace to FUCKING CHILL.

@drewmagary.bsky.social FUCKING MARMALARD

This game got me feeling like this way too much

MASSIVE ballsy throw

This is one of those defense-optional football games.

Having the playoff slot already locked up makes me much more sanguine about watching my defense get carved up by a literal actual grandpa #NFL

One of the most unexpected and wonderful things about Heated Rivalry are the MULTIPLE straight bro hockey podcasts covering and recapping the show with nothing but delight and admiration and curiosity. They LOVE THIS SHOW. Genuinely. I'm almost as addicted to the podcasts at this point lmao.

I keep getting all these alerts that towns near me are on a mandatory water limit because of a water main break, and like. First of all, I am in the boonies. I am on a WELL. Stop texting me! I'm not even in the town limits! Geolocation of these alerts is just PANTS, lately.

Ah no. This one breaks my heart.

From the hospital ward! #49ers #NFL Faithful To The Bay!!!!

the power company is texting me increasingly frantic updates about its preparedness for the coming weather. It's that time again folks.

I feel like the world would be so much a better place if everyone north of like, the 40th parallel was given the two weeks before and after the solstice to just hibernate. Our inner clocks are telling us to do that anyway, LET US REST. And then do the same for the southerners in six months.

My goodness Josh Allen

Sending prayers to everyone at Brown and in the whole area. I hope everyone is safe.

I really do understand the urge to doom. I do. I get it. But please, look to history. These are NOT unprecedented times. The government has toyed with authoritarianism. The population has been far more racist, homophobic, xenophobic, and isolationist than it even is today. These are problems

I work in enterprise IT. We are STRUGGLING as we fight the onslaught of AI-integration on every front without meaningful security advances anywhere and guidelines on removals or controls. I will keep tapping this sign forever.

Okay Niners, let's not get embarrassed in Cleveland today. #NFL

Followed closely by the bond formed in the soul-deep anguish of leaving your place of work only to see your car as an indistinct white lump in the unprotected parking lot after a brisk 8-18 inches of lake effect snow during business hours.

Heated Rivalry watching PSA: there are a couple scenes where people are having extended conversations in Russian without captions but it turns out that if you have the closed captions turned on overall, there will not be captions on those Russian scenes. So you have to turn off the captions

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

So far her favorite things are the couch, the wood stove, dinnertime, and me working from home. #fosterdogposting

Big ups to the San Francisco Christian McCaffreys!

Mark Kelly just replied, with a snapshot of his chest metal for emphasis, and the text of his post is PERFECTION.

Ham goes first, then mac and cheese, then rolls. All others I will fight to keep, possibly with weapons.

She's such a pretty girl #fosterdogposting

Miss ma'am is staying with me to de stress before her surgery. She already approves of the couch. New foster dog Gladis.

My local shelter put out a call that they're overfull and in desperate need of fosters. I don't think I'm ready for a new dog just yet, but I have this house and this big yard just sitting here, so I signed up, and this morning I'm heading out to meet some potential new foster pups. Wish me luck!

Heated Rivalry, the gay hockey romance show (On Crave in Canada, and on HBO Max in the US and I believe Australia) premieres on November 28! I don't like linking to Twitter, but I can't find a Crave account on Bluesky... x.com/CraveCanada/...

The 50th anniversary sent me on a bit of an Edmund Fitzgerald binge. There are so many good covers, be it the raw chaos of the Dandy Warhols, evoking actual storms I've felt on the water: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q10... Or the incredible purity of the Punch Brothers: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhTR...

Meanwhile, on Twitter, there are a few of God's own trolls still laboring:

I lived so many places growing up I can't even definitively identify a hometown, much less a slop. But I guess this could qualify, this is the upstate NY specialty Garbage Plate:

This enormous and very naughty young man was running in traffic on the highway on my commute this morning, so I stopped and pulled him out of the road. His panicked owner appeared in her car 15 mins later. The face of a dog who will 100% jump the fence to chase deer again:

Cloudflare appears to be breaking about half of the internet this morning. if I were a betting man I'd put coin on the problem being DNS.

I bought a chicken lamp. For myself.

A rough watch, but sometimes you just gotta take your lumps. That's hockey.

why do they keep doing this

If you could hear what some of the middle-aged and up ladies (the most reliable voters btw) are saying with their whole chests about the stuff that's happening right now, you'd know this is actually a pretty solid strategy.

RUN CMC

One of my most boomer opinions is that one of the best things you can do for kids is help them learn how to organize their time and operate in professional adult spaces by making them have a part time job in high school AND college.

he'd be out the door before you finished the word "mass"

My brother died almost six years ago now from glioblastoma. This is incredible. Unprecedented. AMAZING. Please, please, never stop funding science and medical research.

I miss my dogs so much. But I do really love being able to jaunt off for a weekend and not have to make care arrangements first.
