I take pics of my meals and its macro estimates are pretty spot on. Free and easier than apps designed for that purpose.

Andreesen used to follow me on twitter, where more than once he would like in earnest a tweet I meant mockingly. I knew then his judgment was off.

A ★★ review of Summer Rental (1985) The Temu National Lampoon’s Vacation, as the kids would say today. Add a bit of Caddyshack too. Hate to say that as a John Candy fan, but this lacks the laughs and originality. Especially surprising i...

As I exist through another Florida summmer as a resident thought it would be fun to revisit Candy’s 1985 vacation. 📽️ filmsky

In a book that takes several leaps of plausibility, I found the global cooperation the most unbelievable.

Definitely Main Street…

It’s incredible how willing these guys are to debase themselves and their credibility in order to tweet a quip to own the libs.

My credo logging into X

They’re Pat Buchananites.

Trump’s IRS Cuts Are Tempting Taxpayers to Cheat With DOGE cutting deep at the tax agency, more Americans might feel emboldened to dodge payments.

Is anyone naive enough to not understand that is the intent?

This made the rounds in 2016 but worth posting again. From Richard Rorty’s 1998 Achieving Our Country

thinking about when siskel and ebert were dicking off and riffing in-between takes and decided to roast the shit out of the protestants

Irrationally annoys the hell out of me when they break character to laugh.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

Does anybody remember the FJB stickers on gas station pumps? Distant hysteria easily forgotten after 2022 spike came and went.

A ★★½ review of Saturday Night (2024) Hey I mean I found the impersonations and trying to figure out who was who enjoyable. Especially the JK Simmons Milton Berle! Beyond that though it wasn’t that great of a flick. Really strains one’s s...

It wasn’t horrible. But I was more interested in the google rabbit holes searching episode and cast backstories than the actual movie. #filmsky 📽️🎥

A ★★★★ review of Metropolitan (1990) Charming and very enjoyable film. It stands out through the eloquent and frankly unnatural - or perhaps anachronistic - dialogue that just charges each scene. It created a New York of yesteryear that ...

Eager to watch more Whit Stillman films. #filmsky 📽️🎥

Any idea on how many Husker fans made this trip? Did we travel well? Seems to me a trip to NYC must be much more expensive than typical sun belt bowl game.

A ★★ review of Cedar Rapids (2011) My first thought was how did this get made and draw the cast it did? The outright shameless infidelity and overt crack use is notable because the film is not that funny so the absurdity as humor is lo...

A very sub par facsimile of Office Space for conventions and workplace trips. #filmsky 📽️🎥

Biden is like, an actual Catholic. Trump is not only obviously an atheist, but is basically a religious person's stereotype of what it means to be an atheist. Just wild stuff here.

Thought Bob Woodward’s most recent book, War, was his best. Eye opening, even for someone sympathetic to the Biden presidency, on how effective he was on the diplomatic front. Just unfortunate that it will be reflected only in historical context.

Highly agree with the below. At the risk of sounding like crotchety old man, sports feel amiss anymore. At least at the highest levels. Youth sports are still great. www.honest-broker.com/p/i-say-forb...

I’ve probably never been more wrong on a player. Thought he had a future during rookie season.

A ★★ review of Nature of the Crime (2024) I find it difficult to review these types of documentaries primarily because its merit as a message versus entertainment widely differs. Is it a compelling watch or a novel topic? No, not at all. Howe...

Important examination of fundamentally flawed system of parole in U.S. Hopeful that it’s widely watched but find it unlikely. 🎥 📽️ #filmsky
