low stakes posting today reminds me that 1) Facebook is for talking to people you know IRL but don’t like and 2) microblogging sites are for talking to people you don’t know but do like. we forget these things at our peril

I made a ‘Frodo, who did NOT die’ joke and we are briefly pausing Middle Earth for the Muppet Christmas Carol.

Fan supporter groups from NWSL are now uniting to call for a boycott effort against the league. It includes blocking the league on social media, boycotting the league’s merchandise store and calling for emailing the team and league to oppose the new High Impact Player rule.

6. Notorious nobleman and writer Donatien Alphonse François, whose body of work includes a depraved story he himself described as "the most impure tale that has ever been told since our world began", is best known as whom? DONALD TRUMP'S BIOGRAPHER #LL107 #bestwronganswers

I deeply regret buying three large and irregularly shaped Christmas gifts. It was quite a staggering display of wrapping hubris worthy of Greek tragedy.

Don’t forget the lessons of Charles Dickens this Christmas: “live your life in a way that, if you get your shit absolutely rocked in the boxing ring, like just straight up annihilated, the general public won’t celebrate your humiliation like an international holiday.”

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

My lead in Rundle A Maelstrom was down to a single point going into MD25, but, with insurmountable lead in MPD, I only needed a tie to keep it. I managed to score my 10th 9(6) of LL107 (my most in a season) to clinch my 5th Rundle A Maelstrom championship + a spot in my 4th consec. LL Championship.

Now watching Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2

I cannot believe that I am only now discovering that Luc Besson has written and directed a recent version of Dracula. I have... feelings about this.

Now rewatching Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

Now rewatching The Night Before

BREAKING: The Indiana Senate just REJECTED the gerrymandered congressional map that Trump and his allies pressured Republicans to support. The GOP-controlled chamber voted down the map, 31-19.

PHILIPSBURG, Pa. (AP) - Kilmar Abrego Garcia leaves immigration detention after federal judge's order Thursday, his attorney's office says.

With a defensive tie yesterday, I've secured, barring a forfeit, non-relegation this LL season. Now, I just have to finish strong enough in the last 7 MDs to secure the championship qualification and/or my league's Maso...

I would like the phrase and concept of "common decency" to make a comeback

Now rewatching Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the world premiere of which I got to attend eight years ago today.

Now rewatching Die Hard

Now watching Santa Claus: The Movie

I can't imagine why ACC Network would happen to be rerunning Notre Dame's loss to Miami this season on the Saturday before the final CFP rankings...

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

What (should have been) a completely predictable turn of events (but, alas, we are living in 2025)...

Now rewatching Gremlins

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

Finished reading Christmas in the Movies: 35 Classics to Celebrate the Season by Jeremy Arnold (@jtarnold.bsky.social). Of the 35 movies featured, I have seen 21.

Sweet. I'm sure teaching Iowa about the forward pass and winning a national championship in College Football 25's Dynasty Mode will be a ringing endorsement of my qualifications.

Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

Makes you think

“One of me is going to betray you”

you know who else held a meeting to announce that He was leaving

Lane Kiffin is a Quaker ✅ Called a meeting at 9a on Sunday ✅ Was not moved to speak

I think it's obvious that the reason for Lane Kiffin not announcing The Decision yet is that he's still working on the Cajun accent.
