They should have an Emmy category for Best Talk Show Guest and all of the nominees are Timothy Olyphant and then the winner is Timothy Olyphant.

My family members (not football fans) love how I yell this every time he runs the ball. Jk they roll their eyes and ignore me.

Why does the music on Hard Knocks make me feel like I could run through a brick wall? It goes so hard. Go Bills!

Very little makes me feel older than when people are like "Check out my vintage haul" and it's all items that I owned or used as an actual adult.

Remembered JournalCon this morning and I never attended, but boy was it fun afterwards, trying to read between the lines of everyone's Con entries to figure out what went down. Anyway, what academic is working on that OLJ retrospective culture study?

The greatest thing about the new Alien TV show isn't the show itself (it's fine so far) but the fact that Timothy Olyphant is on a publicity tour. Never fails to delight.

Getting a bonded pair of cats has been great and I love their brotherly closeness BUUUT sometimes I walk in a room and they clearly have their own thing going on and they just look at me like "Did you need something?" And I'm like sorry and back out IN MY OWN HOME and they are CATS.

One nice thing about having a neurodivergent child is that when I ask about a sample in a song, he immediately knows the origin (and can usually name 5-10 other songs that use the sample). He can also usually tell me if the sample was pitched or sped up. And the time signature of any song we hear.

Over the years, I have tried to be less prescriptive about grammar and usage but if I hear someone say "disingenuine" one more time, I swear to God. IT IS NOT A WORD. You mean disingenuous.

Realized while listening to "Nasty" this morning that the artist's full name is Janet (not baby) Prophecy Control, but it's Miss Jackson if you're nasty. I wonder if that's a family name or?

Planned a fun lil weekend getaway for my family and I just know my kids are going to hate it and complain the entire time. Trying to decide if it will annoy them more if I act like Mary Sunshine and turn those frowns around or out-mope them. Decisions.

One of my fave things in life is when you are into a song but somehow it falls off your internal playlist and then years later, you hear it and remember how much you love it, like a long-lost friend. Anyway, "Suzanne" by Weezer was on this season of "The Bear" and I was fucking delighted.

Trump's birthday parade = Kirk Cameron's birthday party

If one of my 1st semester writing students could correctly use an em-dash, I would be impressed. Later in the semester, I have enough of their writing samples to know if it's likely or not. What is harder is PROVING they used AI when I know they did. Trying some new strategies this semester.

Consuming all the Survivor 50 content and decided to ask my husband (who watched seasons 1 and 2 and then maybe a few episodes by osmosis) what Survivor names he knows. The list is: Richard Hatch, Rudy, Colby, Amber, Rupert, and Boston Rob. That's it.

My brother-in-law is an amazing nature photographer but for the last two nights, he has been attacked by an owl while shooting and I had to tell him about "The Staircase". Anyway, he got attacked again on the third night but it was from the front and he was able to fend it off. He needs a helmet.

Watching Final Destination 1 and 2 and have I never seen these? How is that possible? Anyway, they are so dumb (which I love) but the dumbest part is that Ali Larter's character is named Clear. Clear Rivers.

Had a dream about a theater troupe that puts on murder mysteries for like parties and corporate events and then actual murders start happening and they suspect that one of their troupe is the killer. Is this the plot of an existing book?

Inside you are two wolves.

Not a spoiler but boy did they miss the chance on the latest episode of Yellowjackets to have Misty say "a tale of two kitties" instead of "a tale of two cats" smh

Just finished The Residence and, while it has flaws, none of them belong to Uzo Aduba. The sheer amount of dialogue she has to deliver in the final episode is astonishing, and that she still keeps it compelling and surprising? Brilliant.

This was so fun! I am very bad at predicting what the survey says!

Yes, one time she came in the room while I was watching Twin Peaks and said, "What is that, Twin GEEKS?" Also she orchestrated a roommate swap without telling me until it was a done deal. Turned out for the best but rude to just walk in and tell me you're moving out and someone else is moving in.

Having a hard time taking Billy in the show Paradise (on Hulu) seriously since I realized he's played by Twist from the Fresh Beat Band. Not as weird as when Kiki was on Criminal Minds though.

Here's what I've been watching lately: SNL 50 Years of Music: So well produced by Questlove. Two hrs flew by, could have watched many more hours. Will Trent: I think this is current fave procedural even before they had a whole subplot about how good of a show Alias was.

Saw stories about the ER reunion on Law and Order of Maura Tierney (Abby), Mekhi Phifer (Pratt) and Eriq La Salle (Benton) but none mentioned Michael Beach (Al Boulet). The real ones know though.

Just realized two Challenge alum (Sean Duffy and Theo Von) were at the inauguration 🤮

Great effort, Ravens. A few plays could have gone the other way and the outcome would have flipped. That said, GO BILLS! #GoBills

I do not need the algorithm to serve me any more Bills/Ravens game hype videos. I need Bills/Ravens calm down videos. I already have an upset stomach and the game isn't for four hours. #GoBills

How did we, as a society, let Steve Miller get away with rhyming Texas, facts is, and taxes. Also, it should be facts are, if we're being pedantic, which I always am.

Pleased to report that the fake MD I got from watching ER all the way through 3-4 times is being updated from watching "The Pitt". When the electrical burn victim was brought in and they discussed the pressure in his arm, I knowingly said to no one else in my room, "Mmm, compartment syndrome."

Get you a man who can do it all #TraitorsRHAP

Survivor: San Juan del Sur Traitors edition #TraitorsRHAP

Just heard a youth refer to MST3K as "reaction videos for old people" and "old people love it." Jesus Christ. Learn some history. How can you be a purveyor of pop culture and say such a thing?

One of my many toxic traits is pretending I'm fine with one kid having like 5 presents and the other having 2 until Dec 23, even if I spent the same on each kid. So then I go out and buy random shit no one wants and wrap it up BUT AT LEAST IT IS EVEN.

My friend @joereid.bsky.social made a great case for defining a new type of vote in #Survivor --the Heist Vote. They are rare, but delicious. www.vulture.com/article/surv...

Post a PERFECT album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam.

Media Review: "Black Doves" on Netflix was great as long as you are willing to shrug off spies talking loudly about secret plans in public. Propulsive action, wittier than it had to be.

Yes, the Christmas tree lot Ray Pruit worked at on 90210 is still going strong every year, just in case you were worried.

Took a thirty-minute nap today and slept so deeply that I nearly slipped into a coma. If I hadn't set an alarm so I could pick up my kids from school, I'd be hibernating right now. Bye bye until spring, baby.

Was playing a game with my kids and one gave the hint, "This is where old people like you live" and the answer was "nursing home" so I threw him in the garbage. Even his brother was like, "That's mean." Kids are savage.

Another reason my husband deserves an award is because I think about utter nonsense on my drive home from work and then walk in and ask him questions like, "Was Alex Van Halen underrated as a drummer?" or "Were the Traveling Wilburys better in concept than execution?"

There is a direct correlation between people who have extra loud ringtones, people who take personal calls in an open office setting, and people who are just generally dillweeds.

My boss told me yesterday that I should go on Jeopardy and it took me many hours to realize she was probably trying to nicely say that I am a know-it-all.

My kid, who battled with me this school year over writing a paragraph, just sat down and wrote (in about 20 minutes) a well-reasoned and structured 1000+ word essay about how much he hates the book he was assigned to read. Maybe teachers should assign bad books instead of good books.

Jesus Christ. This fucking ding dong shouldn't be in charge of tying his own shoes. Also I thought he was taking time off to spend more time with family. Guess they realized he sucks.

Been trying to avoid doom scrolling so I've done more reading and watching TV and thought I'd log it here 🧵
