CHVRCHES tickets secured

That’s where the k-cup goes

Me watching Battlestar Galactica alums pop up all over the place in Carrie. Do they have a group chat or something?

Once again asking that we move Christmas to January to relieve the glut of end-of-the-year holidays

Do yourself a favor & see Wildwood. Especially if you are tired of AI slop everywhere. There is so much care and human creativity present in every frame that it's almost intoxicating, like millions of oil paintings stitched together. Just leave the little kiddos at home. This one is like 10+.

Honestly the worst part of this is how good the Bruins and Senators look. I expected the Lightning, Canadiens, and Panthers to all be problems, but I didn't expect the Bruins to be world beaters. And we're barely keeping pace with the self-imploding Red Wings ffs.

It's 10 o'clock in the morning on October the 24th, if you want to know.

People don't like Vivek Ramaswamy enough for him to dig in his heels on that disgusting political ad. That's the problem with the modern Republican party: everyone imagines themselves as petit Trumps with the same ability to defy political gravity, but in a Cult of Personality there can be only One

Idk what people's thoughts on the new Carrie series are, but The Last Dinner Party needle drop to end the 4th episode was absolutely killer.

I'm so sick of this fucking turd treating everyone like trash, even (or especially) other world leaders, and we're just so desensitized to it that it never even makes headlines. The next Dem president is gonna be pissed when they get put back under a microscope after this free-for-all presidency.

I'm glad Sabres fans can finally move on from this. Our team has a lot of flaws and areas to address right now, but a 33 yo diva goaltender shouldn't be high on the list.

Welp, the Buffalo craft beer boom of the 2010s is finally going bust in a big way.

It's not so much that the Sabres have a middling record and keep going down by 2+ goals, it's that they look BORING. Like if you're not going to win games, go back to losing them 5-4 or something. Right now it looks like they can't buy a goal.

Zucker when he heard that the power play sucked while he was away:

Probably my most controversial political opinion is that red light cameras are not only a good thing, but necessary for protecting vulnerable road users and ensuring that enforcement isn't left up to biased policing. (Note: traffic / red light cameras are not Flock cameras, do not conflate them).

Holy shit the comedic timing from this woman, she's like a seasoned pro. Just deeply, deeply funny.

Pros of historic wood window plus storm window: -looks much better -doesn't fail after ~20 yrs -possible to repair -sound deadening due to air pocket Cons of historic/storm: -more expensive -con 👏 den 👏 sat 👏 ion on the storms

Jay Z led a long and exhaustive search to find the perfect Super Bowl half time artist lol puck.news/jay-z-picks-...

If you don't do a house project right the first time, don't worry, it'll fail and you get to do it again. Like the tile in my kitchen pantry that I didn't finish grouting and is now lifting off the mortar lol 🙃

The greatest challenge of our time isn’t to figure out how to get to Mars or become interstellar, but to figure out how to live sustainably on Earth.

THE BACKSTREET BOYS CIRCA 1997: Hey do you have any hockey jerseys to wear for this photoshoot WARDROBE DEPARTMENT: Hockey jerseys? Ahhh let's see. Only real basic stuff. The Hull Olympiques of the QMJHL. The Kentucky Thoroughblades of the AHL. Sorry I don't have anything weirder or rarer

Find someone that loves you as much as Brandon Beane loves vet retreads and over-the-hill players.

October 19th isn't just a date, it's a state of mind. youtu.be/rfe91Ah4N90?...

The Bills coaching staff:

Probably coming down with something just in time on Sunday night, I'm freezing 🥶

Well that sucks. But rest up and get healthy after a brutal week schedule, hopefully Dahls is back by the next game on Wednesday.

Sabres seem like they've worked out their early season jitters and UPL is figuring things out. Not quite dominant yet, but getting there.

Cool that West Seneca is losing its best ice cream place and a unique building for another bank, which will be across the street from another bank. Whole town is just banks, pharmacies, and dollar stores lol. West Seneca: where small businesses go to die.

Interesting. Apparently Helle hasn't been sitting at home the past several weeks because he wanted to - he asked the Jets if he could report to the team just before the season started, and they gave him a multi-week suspension for failing to report to training camp. www.reddit.com/r/nhl/s/KyJQ...

Yeah, kiddo is gonna turn 5 next year so this is hitting me like a sledgehammer. And the general vibe I've gotten from parenthood is that nobody in any position of power truly gives a shit about your kids. And that applies to anything...from safe drinking water, to safe roads, to food safety, etc.

can imagine how annoying that guy is

The Sabres won...in OT?

Odd symmetry between the Bills and Sabres in that both are defensive messes that turn it on at the very end.

*extremely 2D voice* 🎶 To the Moon Cave Where I bought my tears Lit the lantern On my childhood fears 🎶

A cashier was telling me about this rumour at Wegmans and, being someone who has worked in the backend of websites for a long time, it immediately sounded sus to me. Liberals love to fall for feel-good hokum like "it's the Russian bots sowing division online, not algos and party polarization!"

Part of the reason that the current administration has targeted Omar for specific persecution is that they are pretty sure democratic leadership won't go to the mat for her. This is probably based on democratic leadership never going to the mat for her.

If the stance of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer is anything less than backing Rep. Ilhan Omar to the hilt, then those jabronis should be removed from their leadership positions immediately.

JEEZ I DON'T KNOW

Downsides of losing 60 lb in your mid-30's versus the last time you lost a bunch of weight when you were 20: a lot more loose skin!

One thing football has over hockey is that crucial plays often look like Renaissance paintings. There's a visual grace to it that you don't appreciate until it's captured in still form.

James Cook after the Rams missed FG then not watching the Bills winning FG

Well, the best thing about last night is that Josh finally got the monkey off his back about OT games! There were a lot of not so great things, but we don't have to discuss them right now lol.

Can anyone tell me with a straight face that this is a team that is built to win championships. This is a JV squad with a few good players and a unicorn QB keeping them in contention.

Josh looks shell shocked at how pitiful his defense is. I'm going to bed.
