Etrigan (unrelated, but also spooky) ✌️🏈

Stop fucking quote-skeeting people to dunk on them.

Detroit local news at 11:00 covered this rally and did not include this at all. Not even a hint of it.

I think maybe I actually trust JRog to bring this story in for the landing it deserves.

Oh, fuck you.

This will push Lula over 500 million votes in his lifetime. The most-personally-voted-for person in the history of elections.

Sure, the New York Football Giants win in overtime with two big runs up the gut. Absolutely. Makes perfect sense.

Listening to this week's @tvisgoodpod.bsky.social, and I am re-struck by a question I occasionally have over the years: Who are the title characters of "Gilmore Girls"? That is, is *Emily* one of them, and therefore is this series *also* "about" her? (Clearly, Trix is *not* one of them.)

I broke my rule of One Ep Per Day to finish The Diplomat because some of my friends had binged it. No regrets.

Okay, it’s been three months, everybody change your toothbrush.

Oh my GOD if he’d caught that.

Okay, that was a hell of a tackle by that Texas receiver.

I wonder whether anyone’s ever told this person that their license plate says “TOOLRAG”.

The span from Alien to Picket Fences was like the second-fifth of Tom Skerritt’s career and they seem like bookends.

I am completely fucking obsessed with this band, and the new album is top-notch.

It probably speaks more to how little I actually talk to other people out in the world, but I had my first "You look slimmer" today, at the bookstore. Oddly, the first time I've worn a sweater there since probably April.

Vivek Ramaswamy should be hung around the neck of every Republican currently in or running for office forever. Voters not yet born should be getting mailers in the 2050s asking "Why does Joe Gopper think he can serve on our city council if he's never decried That Ad From 2026?"

“the radical left” lol

Did I seriously forget to preorder the new Reacher? *gasp*

I know which board game store they were at from this picture. I don’t have a problem.

This is acceptable. There simply must be consequences for losing to Rutgers if we are to function as a society.

My version of this -- especially as we get closer to the elections -- is "I don't think I'm going to be the one to change this person's mind on this."

Diminish an anime Scrape Note

The second Austin Powers movie made more in its first weekend than the first one made in its entire theatrical run.

When they do this, they're not making real claims or describing actual impressions. They're instructing their audience how to perceive & talk about what they see. They're trying on beliefs (which, with right-wingers, means rhetorical approaches), i.e. collectively rewriting their reality in public.

Yeah, very few lies detected here, and they’re not really lies, I’m just defensive about 1996 me.

I don't think any of us are okay with living in a world where UCLA is the only undefeated team in the Big Ten.

...oh no, he might actually be good

Thaaat's more like it, Wolverines.

ooof what a mistake by that kid

(we dont like the 24 team playoff format because florida beating texas should fuck shit up thats why we watch college football)

yyyeah, that was a late hit.

This should be considered a touchdown.

DOINK

The AI Houdini ads might just be the straw that gets me off of Fox even for football.
