Operation “I did a thing!”

If Crosby plays, Canada wins that game every time.

Any hockey game ever and “No One Knows” by Queens of the Stone Age, name a more iconic duo.

Despite my terminal millennial-ness, I’ve never been a fan of Hilary Duff’s music. But the new album was getting some buzz so I thought I’d throw it on. And now I can’t turn it off.

How is it that no matter where I stand at a concert I always end up directly behind some oblivious 6’4 guy?

I will never forgive NBC for being on commercial break for Mongolia.

The Italian National Anthem is absolutely gorgeous.

I’ve tried to like “Manchild” so many times and every time I just want to switch over to “NFR” by Lana Del Rey instead.

I was going to listen to all of the Album of the Year nominees ahead of tonight’s Grammys but…look, it’s been 15 years and I’ve never liked a single one of his songs, can I just pass pre-judgment on Justin Bieber? Please?

J Rabbit Floppenheimer, even. Or is that gilding the lily?

Okay they are playing JIMMY EAT WORLD on the local oldies station. It is too early for that level of psychic damage.

I assume they’ll boo-hoo and play victim and claim that lack of state and local support and the reaction of the violent, rioting residents required them to leave for their safety.

My hot take for the day: people who didn’t like the 2024 film “Civil War” missed its point.

So thrilled for “Sinners,” so not thrilled for a month of “‘Sinners’ is overrated” discourse.

It looks like Sinners is going to get shut out and I think that sucks

I’m starting to suspect that @iankarmel.bsky.social and the other AFE guys made the Golden Globes playlist for tonight.

The TV awards are pretty dull, they’re just mirroring the Emmys.

yay Teyana, yay Stellan, yay Jean Smart, yay Noah, absolute boo to these “play-by-play” announcers and their betting market updates. They suck.

Excited for the Golden Globes and rooting for Sinners to win as much as possible. I’ll throw some opinions on here once it starts.

What platform is it on?

Do you want to see the musical? I’ve got press tickets for next Thursday

Olivia Rodrigo and David Byrne singing “Burning Down The House” together is one of my favorite pick-me-up videos.

There has to be a term for the chronic typing handicap where you perpetually capitalize both the T and the H in words that start with TH. Whatever it’s called, I’ve got it.

Current mood: the sign language interpreter at Jacob Frey’s press conference

Oh no, I hit Peak Coffee way, way too early in the day. By 10 a.m. I’ll have a caffeine hangover and by 2:30 p.m. I’ll be trying not to fall asleep. I chose poorly.

Watching One Battle After Another. I’m about ten minutes in and so far my biggest complaint is that DiCaprio says the titular line like 30 seconds after the title card. C’mon, if you’re going to put it that close, the line has to come first.

I loved every needle drop in the “Stranger Things” finale.
