Lmao Sam Darnold did the “wouldn’t want it any other way” meme.

I don’t really like Grand Prix (1966) much as a movie, but F1 is a poor imitation.

The racing scenes are genuinely worse than a regular racing broadcast. No tension and a ton of very obvious drone footage.

I would recommend watching the rebuilds if you enjoyed the series. It’s a different experience that is also worthwhile. Or you can watch Shin Godzilla, which is probably the best movie Anno has made.

But that’s also kind of my point. Avatar makes so much money that “who you know” should be everyone. Star Wars is completely unavoidable, but Avatar apparently trades on huge audiences that do not generate noise reaching anywhere beyond people who also already watch Avatar.

When Star Wars 7 came out, everyone I went to high school with was talking about it. Even the people who never talked about movies, fantasy, or sci-fi. When the first and second Avatars no one even acknowledged them.

I’ve never been surprised that people like Avatar. I’ve always been surprised that so many people apparently like Avatar enough to see it multiple times but never talk about it. This is the first time I’ve ever heard “Avatar good actually” be louder than “who is seeing Avatar?”

Canon isn’t a real thing anyway, so I’m not sure why anyone cares.

FUCKIN CHRISTMAS INNIT

It suuuuuucks in real life. Back and arms end up sore as hell.

Have the Bengals ever won in orange pants? They seem to play like the Browns every time they wear those.

I should have known when the Bengals were wearing orange pants that they would find a way to lose.

I don’t necessarily have a problem with legalized gambling, but I absolutely think we should be treating it like cigarettes and getting the advertising out of the public eye. If you want it, you know where to find it, but the rest of us (and more impressionable of us) don’t need to be subject to it.

Going through “Path to Power” recently and there is a ton of background on how tariffs have always been awful for farmers. US ag produces too much for domestic markets, so tariffs increase the cost of input while closing markets and driving down output sale price. Amazing how often we relearn this.

THE MEME IS REAL

(Literally the next half-inning: Carl Jr.)

"Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf" is the shorthand I'm going to use about this phenomenon from now on

Neither team wants to win this game, but, thankfully, the Browns are more stubborn.

Did not know Graham Greene played Edgar on the Red Green Show. RIP to the legend. youtu.be/F6FwSb7zd6M?...

This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.

bluesky absolutely has a growth problem. at this point it's just me, the several thousand sockpuppet accounts i faithfully maintain, and you. and if you're weirded out by that, how about you just take a beat and imagine what an average day is like for me

That pic is from the first fight isn’t it? Puig was traded with the second fight.

Nina Turner has always been an ineffective populist weirdo. She got dumpstered running for Congress the other year and blamed “evil money” despite having a higher out-of-state fundraising total.

ross perot was done in by the same self-obsession and paranoia shared by musk but if they'd debated ross would have made him cry on national television
