Don't threaten us with a good time this Thanksgiving.

So it looks like tonight's Wolves game is ALSO on Peacock again. Why the hell am I paying for FanDuel when it can't provide all the Wolves games? It's not like it's a cheap service...

Is it just me, or do hamstring injuries never seem to heal fully? I did have a grade 2 tear mid-summer, but even months later after feeling back to (mostly) full strength, all it took was making a hard cut in ultimate yesterday to wreck it again.

Kid in a trampoline

Was reminiscing with the 8yo about when we built a trampoline together this summer. Now it's a leaf repository after all the leaves fell 😅

His struggles with his camper were eerily relatable :-)

Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Obse… A humorous and rousing set of literal and figurative so…

Book 28: Where the Deer and the Antelope Play

I generally align with much of Offerman's politics and views, so this was a nice, casual read on some of his adventures around the world with his group of friends/wife. Nothing groundbreaking, but still fun. #booksky

It's like sports leagues actively hate their fans and try to make it as difficult to follow a team as possible.

What kind of bullshit is this? The Wolves game is only on Peacock? Who the hell has Peacock? I already pay for FanDuel Sports to stream games. I'm not gonna pay for YET ANOTHER pointless streamer for a regular season game. Sigh..... Go Wolves, I guess. I'll check the box score in the morning.

The Amateur After his life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, a brilliant but introverted CIA decoder takes matters into his own hands when his supervisors refuse to take ...

This felt like a spy thriller ripped out of the late 90s/early 00s. Which means it was... fine. I never felt like our protagonist was ever truly in danger and the "what if MacGyver was an IT dork" got less believable as the film went on. But I was entertained. So... 🤷‍♂️

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

“If we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over that robot army?” Musk said to analysts. “I don’t feel comfortable building that robot army if I don’t have at least a strong influence.”

Honestly, the company would be better off without him. Especially when we have quotes like this combined with his far right belief structure. Little good can come from it.

Head On (Lock In, #2) John Scalzi returns with Head On, the standalone follow…

Book 27: Head On

@scalzi.com follows up Lock In with another solid sci-fi mystery set in a uniquely realized world. Again, I tend to eat up whatever he writes, so loved this sequel. And I'd love to see more novels in this world. Nudge... nudge... #booksky

Can we just make this our usual court design and keep the purple jersey as our primary home jersey? They're easily the best looking versions of each for the Wolves.

Being late to everything means you’re a bad person. A key narcissistic personality trait: letting other people know they and their time are not important compared to whatever you feel like doing at a given moment.

Dammit. I've gotta add to my project list to dump Ring and replace their devices with something else at our house. I don't have time for this shit.

Kid working on sign

We the people. No kings. A sign.

Didn't make it out yesterday, but the 8yo made a sign for the house!

Realm #1

I really wish they'd finished out this series. It was a cool concept and I dug the art style. #CBCS

The Substance A fading celebrity decides to use a black market drug, a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself.

Finally got around to watching this. It was good... a tad bit over long and it doesn't really go off the rails until the final 1/4 of the film, but otherwise a great mish-mash of a creature feature and social commentary on youth & hypersexualization.

Me with an angry grin and a coffee mug

Thinking back on the summer and how much of a pain in the ass searching for a new tech job was.

I applied to 96 jobs, made it through countless initial interviews, and was a finalist for 3 roles (where they went with the other candidate) before landing my current role.

An interesting smattering of albums I've been listening to over the last month....

Happy end of Win10 support day, for those who celebrate! Who else is gonna be living life on the edge b/c their machine can't upgrade to Win11 and is in no way in need of being trashed to purchase a new computer?

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall and it took me a second to realize they meant autumn and not the total collapse of society.

Happy Ides of October

Can we just instantly strip a lawyer of their practice license if they're found to be using unsupervised AI in litigation? Heck, if they're using AI to do anything other than pull back cases for them to research, kick 'em to the curb.

Book 26: Hampton Heights

Oof. This was another clunker. It was sort of trying to be clever with some classic horror tale tropes, but the execution was bad, the individual stories somewhat bland, and generally I was very disinterested. Not worth the time 😕 #booksky

If you told me that I'd be jamming the hell out of a twangy country infused metalcore tune written about the tragedy of watching someone fade away while fighting alzheimer's... I'd have been anxiously awaiting this song (and album). This slaps.

Nothing better on a Monday morning than reading about how we've irrevocably messed things up for our kids' and their kids' time spent on this planet.
