Loss in 2OT to Oregon - Fine Loss to UCLA - Hangover after the loss & travel across the country Loss at home to Northwestern - Bad Highest expectations I’ve ever seen for PSU. Time for a change. Franklin will land on his feet. Who will be the next HC at PSU though? apple.news/A_AX75qcNSJu...

Anti-war president, huh

There aren’t many billionaires I would support purchasing TikTok and Larry Ellison is no exception. I’m out if that happens. www.npr.org/2025/01/25/g...

If the argument is Elon salutes Nazis because he’s autistic, then if vaccines cause autism, then RFK Jr is a poor choice for Republicans to lead Health and Human Services

This is how I’m picturing Tesla drivers waving to each other now

We should normalize not having non-religious people placing a hand on a Bible

Do the price of groceries drop at midnight or do I have to wait for the inauguration?

At this time there doesn’t appear to be any leaks which is nice to hear. However how can we continue to let Norfolk Southern operate without recourse for their spotty safety record? They got lucky this time. You hear train derailment and you can assume Norfolk Southern. www.wfmz.com/news/area/le...

I really liked True Detective: North Country. It’s the best season since the first. Really feels like a return to form.

Cheating does pay off #Michigan

Michigan arguably shouldn’t have even been invited to the CFP. And Alabama is in instead of the more deserving Florida State.

The top films I saw in 2023: Barbie Saltburn Poor Things Oppenheimer Blackberry Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 The Holdovers Killers of the Flower Moon Iron Claw Join or Die

Overall I liked AEW’s Worlds End ppv. The final 3 matches were excellent. The reveal at the end made sense.

My top 10 shows of 2023: 1. The Bear 2. Reservation Dogs 3. Succession 4. Slow Horses 5. The Last of Us 6. Barry 7. Shrinking 8. Jury Duty 9. Loki 10. Rick and Morty

The worst film I’ve seen both this year and in a long time. I saw Skinamarink make someone’s year-end best horror list so I decided to check it out. Way too long. Maybe could’ve made for an interesting 20 minute short. Mostly shots of the floor or ceiling that’s super grainy. boxd.it/ByDO

Watched 2022’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Another direct sequel to a horror classic. It seems we have replaced horny teens with wokeness for killers to hunt down. Even with a runtime of only 80 minutes the film still feels too long. Sarah Yarkin is a highlight though. boxd.it/ns6c

Honorable mention for top concert this year: I’m only mildly embarrassed to admit this but I saw Nickelback. I had fun & I was in the pit (bc my friend only does floor/pit). They played “Hero” which technically isn’t a Nickelback song but akin to when The Eagles perform “The Boys of Summer”.

My top 3 concerts of 2023: #1 Taylor Swift - Saw her in Cincinnati which I ended up loving too. #2 Paramore - First show after going to the Eras Tour. Bought last minute tickets and wasn’t disappointed. #3 Jimmy Eat World & Manchester Orchestra - 2 of my favorites + front row seats.

I liked American Fiction. If you’ve seen the trailer you get a good sense of this satire. What you don’t get is anything with the main character’s family which one can is argue may be the main plot of this story. Jeffrey Wright is great in this. boxd.it/DYHm

Overall I liked it. I’m a fan of Sam Esmail, especially of Mr. Robot. The premise is a really cool idea. Some great needle drops in this. I came away from this wanting to like it more than I actually did. Some interesting camera shots that I can imagine having critics. boxd.it/re0i

As a pro wrestling fan I definitely dug The Iron Claw. Easily the best from Zac Efron. Also solid performances from Jeremy Allen White and Holt McCallany. boxd.it/w5Pm

Seriously about time www.nytimes.com/2023/12/19/u...

Poor Things is pretty great. I can’t think of a better Emma Stone performance. Loved Mark Ruffalo in this. Up there with The Favourite as my favorite from Yorgos Lanthimos. boxd.it/tNWU

I’m sure Elon’s financial ties to Russia and Saudi Arabia have absolutely no bearing on support of oil and gas www.reuters.com/business/ene...

I have a younger coworker that says “wicked” in response to being given direction and I feel like Doc Brown after Marty calls something heavy

Very sad to hear

I like signs that tell me when an exit has a gas station. Would be nice if they did the same for EV fast charging stations.

GM balked at the labor agreement due to costs but this stock buyback program is costing even more than the new labor costs. During the strike we were told they couldn’t possibility afford to pay workers more yet here we are. www.cnbc.com/2023/11/29/g...

Sign of the night

Pro wrestling is a funny business. 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) chances aren’t a given. I just hope CM Punk achieves some level of peace with this next run. And for the CM Punk fans that missed him in AEW I hope he doesn’t disappoint you.

It’s not a surprise that YouTube recommends Marvel content to me but I’m not down for videos called “Marvel Hates Men” and “Woke Disney Is Imploding”. Coincidentally the thumbnails feature Brie Larson.

Next Goal Wins is like if Taika Waititi made a soccer version of The Mighty Ducks boxd.it/mZTu

Spent my Thanksgiving Eve listening to Royal Blood

Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar has gone through another renovation. Now it’s more Kubrick themed including a new theater.

I enjoyed The Holdovers. Was on the fence whether or not I was going to see it. It’s a character-centric throwback. The three leads were all great.

So I can’t sue if my personal voting rights were violated but I can sue a woman I suspect of getting an abortion? apple.news/Af4omA_5nT5u...

Told myself I was going to take a break from When We Were Young Fest but then this lineup dropped. See you in 2024 WWWY!

It would be real cool if I received from invite codes from @bsky.app to give to my non-Bluesky friends

$600 reporting threshold is delayed again by the IRS www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs...

I hope this ends up being true. MJF is legit entertaining and I think his wrestling should put him in consideration for the best pro wrestler today. apple.news/AaPxhZzvvQca...

Does my gmail usage really warrant 4 ads in each inbox?

Arguably I’m not the target audience but I didn’t care for the Super Mario Bros. Movie. Still not the worst Mario movie created. Aside from Jack Black I wish they just used the normal voice actors from the games.

Watched the film Thanksgiving. I’m a sucker for the Grindhouse-fake-movie-trailer-turned-real-films. If b-movie-inspired horror from Eli Roth sounds appealing to you then you likely won’t be disappointed.

I liked Saltburn. It’s funny, dark, anxiety-inducing, and showed me things I haven’t seen on film before.

Giving this a shot. Haven’t posted on Twitter in 9 months. Tried other alternatives but was disappointed with them.
