What entirely online drama are we wasting our energy on today?
17.03.2025 18:05 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Although, I'm annoyed about this now, but I actually kinda like that this site is so lame cause then during my work commute instead of being on here I read ebooks on my phone or articles about soccer which is just way nicer than seeing people take turns screaming all day at headlines.
14.03.2025 23:02 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Like if I can't even get some Hell Yeahs on posts about crime novels and jazz on here then what's the fucking point?
14.03.2025 22:59 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Social media is complete trash and I solely use it to keep up with a select group of people, but it's impressive how fucking lame this site has remained in spite of all the user surges. It still doesn't have the most basic stuff.
14.03.2025 22:58 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I don't know man, I've returned to using my alt on Shitter because just too many of my online pals are still mainly over there and in the week since I've done that I post the same shit on my alt there which has 108 followers as I do on here where I have nearly 800 and I get way more engagement there
14.03.2025 22:56 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Back to that old me (jazz). I listened to so much Charlie Parker this week.
14.03.2025 20:46 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Goddamn this one fucking rips, A+ finale reveal.
14.03.2025 19:35 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Goddamnit Atletico
12.03.2025 22:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Hope they make movies together forever
12.03.2025 05:23 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0And discovering he's a fellow lefty of course means he's officially my new favorite player.
11.03.2025 23:42 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0They have so many weapons, and I really like that Dembele has exploded since Mbappe left and the fact that PSG has never won the Champions League before makes it so easy to root for them.
11.03.2025 23:39 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Rooting for Arsenal but had decided my #2 would be whoever won this matchup and shocked to discover that PSG are fun to watch even when they're not scoring 4-7 goals a match.
11.03.2025 23:24 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0A giant, gangly, balding king.
11.03.2025 23:04 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Went into watching this matchup for the goals and instead I leave having become obsessed with the two goalies, especially Donnarumma.
11.03.2025 23:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0That Liverpool-PSG match was fucking great sportsball.
11.03.2025 22:49 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 1My only real complaint with the work of Patricia Highsmith is that she has the tendency to make the blandest characters the protagonist and have her perverted, alienated creeps gravitate towards them when her genius lies in her exploration of those perverted, alienated creeps.
11.03.2025 02:43 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0They already got rid of the one veteran, reliable receiver he could've leaned on...
10.03.2025 18:58 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I feel bad for Justin Fields, going from how he played last year he could've developed into a great fit on the Steelers but he needs weapons and mentorship and it's hard to not think that he's fucked at the Jets.
10.03.2025 18:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0And I can't adequately explain how perfectly Boisian Darnold's whole career path feels and hope it continues that way.
10.03.2025 18:36 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0There is something so poetic about Sam Darnold moving from one city with a Jon Bois immortalized franchise to another city with a Jon Bois immortalized franchise. All is left is for the Seahawks to beat the Vikings in the NFC championship by 2 or 32 points.
10.03.2025 18:33 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0He plays a monk who may possibly be a serial killer whose had their memory wiped and of course this ended up being one of the best episodes of TV.
10.03.2025 17:29 β π 5 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Yooo Brad Dourif in BABYLON 5!!
10.03.2025 05:27 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 1The big irony is that my apartment forces basic cable on us, so I literally just want a service where I can watch soccer but really can't justify paying for a cable alternative... sigh
08.03.2025 19:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0How much? I was looking at Fubo but that is just too much, can't justify that monthly cost.
08.03.2025 19:39 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I'm watching the Aston Villa match now, gonna watch Arsenal tomorrow morning, meanwhile only a single damn MLS game is on regular TV this entire weekend.
08.03.2025 19:18 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Oh I know, I've been watching these. More meant that I'd be willing to pay more for one that consolidates it more.
08.03.2025 19:17 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0On the other hand, if there was a single streaming service for the Euro leagues I'd be all over that.
08.03.2025 19:08 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0It's really fucking dumb that to watch pretty much any MLS games you have to subscribe to a whole damn streaming service. I would like to watch MLS games and try to properly get into it but not $15 a month enough.
08.03.2025 19:07 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Was already on my list but wasn't very high cause I hadn't heard much about it, moving it to the top!
08.03.2025 18:48 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0An hour into Chabrol's L'ENFER I was thinking it was an extremely well acted and directed take on a done to death narrative but my god the way it shifts and becomes an incredibly complex look at mental illness.
