The Annual Thanksgiving Dish Discourse is on, and my take is if you sincerely think ANY pies are bad, you either have a 5 year old's palate or you're a rage baiting turkey. Or you've only ever had grocery store pies. Either way, I don't trust you. Even grocery store pies are fine.

Reading a season by season recap of Stranger Things and the big picture view of the plot has me questioning whether I do in fact like this show (I do. I think?). Good example of character writing and performances elevating a show from bullshit to Prestige TV.

I don't know if there's anything set in the suburbs of Allentown, and I'm not gonna claim to be from Philadelphia. But every now and then something films in the Lehigh Valley (the Allentown State Hospital in Glass and Bethlehem Steel in Transformers 2).

This is I think the most well-deserved L I've ever seen the Eagles eat.

The Eagles inside zone game is still dogshit and they need to just toss it out their playbook for at least a few weeks if not the rest of the season BUT they actually have made use of the motion guy this game and that counts as a huge wrinkle for them.

I started watching Task and was switching between TV and phone. And I didn't realize someone else on this account had also been watching it. So I picked up like 40 mins after I had left off and I was thinking of course I'm just a shitty film consumer because I have no fucking clue what is happening.

I'm in Denver's finest Eagles bar and if the standup open mic acts here tonight thought the patrons would be in a good, comedy kinda mood because the Eagles won, they really do not understand this fanbase.

Man do I not like watching Saquon have to try to navigate 9 man boxes in obvious run situations.

I'm getting pics from people around the country, but I can't see any aurora here in Denver proper. My partner is out in the burbs and she's got good pics in the mix here though.

This isn't necessarily the most important thing Catch-22 does, but it was the first thing I read that slammed back and forth between the grimmest horror and the most joyous comedy, and the inconsistent tone was a revelation rather than friction for me.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Man, no team can make me feel crabby with a win like the Eagles. Players seem to like him and that matters but I still feel like

This feels eons ago. I'm trying to decide if I actually think Lost Lace was harder then Hollow Knight + Radiance. At first I'd have said yes, because I was struggling with the twitch reacting to a few frames worth of tell. But then I went to bed and the next day I was countering everything.
Just installed Silksong and I shit you not I tried to pogo off the very first little caterpillar enemy and I missed and it hit me. I beat the first game. I beat radiance and that Halloween boss.

I am absolutely not going back to 100%. Outstanding game. Should be studied academically. But 3rd Act Final Boss had me questioning life and pondering mortality, I legit doubted I could beat it and thought I finally just got too old for hard games. Then I beat it. I'm ready to be done.

I get, on an emotional level, why embittered baseball fans need the moral superiority gambit about "well at LEAST we didn't BUY the championship. With MONEY." But that argument doesn't hold water when your team is 5th highest out of 30 in total payroll, come on now.

Blue Jays were the better team for 6 out of 7 games, including Game 7, and this is just baseball. There is no amount of tinkering with the postseason that is gonna change the fundamental nature of baseball. Blue Jays deserved to win in every sport other than baseball.

Real ones streamed that game on their phone, brushing their teeth with the phone propped up by the sink, setting the phone on the nightstand while they get some water, and settling into bed propping it up on their chest with the sound off because their partner is trying to sleep.

Eagles tried a rushing scheme besides inside zone or zone toss, with some duos blocking schemes in there and a couple counters, and not only does their first rush attempt go straight to the house but they end the day with 2 100+ rushers for the first time since 2013 (Shady and Bryce Brown).

What's blowing my mind about the Platner shitstorm is how unprepared he and his defenders have been for the optics backlash, and how easy it would have been to 1. Get rid of the tattoo long before now and 2. Have a spin prepped about knowing well and growing beyond the crypto- and outright-fascist/

Silksong: I get not wanting to signpost everything, letting players mess around and figure it out. But come on, I beat the Act 2 boss, roll credits, get back into that save, go back up to the boss room figuring that would be what would advance the quest line, beat the boss again, then flail around/
