"Why is Babylon 5 filled with 'Newsies'?" asked any overly analytical nerd after watching the show a lot of times. And luckily, @slatron's friend Evynne had an immediate fix that is pretty ... Strange ... Dr. Strange ... it makes sense if you read the article!

Hey @heytherejeffro.bsky.social didn't listen to my demands to be uncompromising artists and is letting Patrons votes on what next season of Nerd! will be. So, if you want to defy me, go vote!

Had someone give me advice to "run stuff I write through ChatGPT first" to be easier to understand.

I will give credence to proof reading, when time allows.

Didn't care for ChatGPT idea. Easy follow up: if they can't understand but ChatGPT can, they could just run it through ChatGPT themselves.

Early episode of YGTCO with @slatron.bsky.social and myself just dropped on the @heytherejeffro.bsky.social Patreon!

@moviehooligan.bsky.social indulged me in watching THE WORST episode of Babylon 5. And he still showed up to podcast when we were done.

With 18 pts, Nikola Jokic just scored the most points in a single overtime period in NBA history? Talk about putting a team on your back.

via @basketball-reference.com @stathead.com

There have been 31 games in NBA history with a Points-Assists-Rebounds Triple-Double where:
1. The player scored at least 20 points
2. The player had a True Shooting Percentage of > 88%

Nikola Jokic is 11 of these w/ top points of 56 points (tonight)

Was talking with a kid and they chuckled “68, that’s one off a naughty number!” I said “Oh yeah?” And they went “yeah 6-7” anyway I’m old officially.

I had Mick Foley on my show a few times, and he is absolutely the person you hope he is. Great guy.

At the Packers / Broncos game. There were a bunch of green shirts / jerseys walking in but I don’t see them in the stands. Im guessing they’re still at the bars or getting a beer inside.

I was just talking to a friend about the issues with FIDE and the state of the "World Chess Champion" and how tournaments are presented and run in top chess ... and I realized I was basically just saying Jukido points from WMAC Masters ... but about chess ...

I gotta shout out @sorenbowie.bsky.social who noted in front of this whole Sam Altman "How do I parent" hilarity how just kid raising books in general were so hilariously condescending to men vs. women. e.g. comparing to food sizes and reminding like "their heads are delicate, don't drop them."

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

It is not hyperbole to note that Nikola Jokic’s absurd efficiency his season is costing him triple doubles.

Everyone out here’s talking 6-7 but the cool folk like @slatron.bsky.social know 6/8 is where it’s at.

Rewatching Babylon 5 season 4 with @slatron.bsky.social and lemme tell you, the arc about insane Emperor Cartagia, who makes horrible decisions and his advisors all just go along with it out of fear is a bit on the nose ...

Happy Gobbledegooker day to all who celebrate.

Why not finish your Thanksgiving by listening to @moviehooligan.bsky.social play "is he dead or alive" with @heytherejeffro.bsky.social and @nerdnumbers.com as they look back at the 1990 Survivor Series.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I find it amusing that in Sci-Fi the belief is -- humans would never consider computers sentient -- e.g., "Measure of a Man" in Star Trek TNG, when the reality is the flipside -"No, your toaster isn't alive because it asked you if you wanted it extra crispy!"

Watched my first #Babylon5 because @nerdnumbers.com + @slatron.bsky.social asked, and was NOT ready for an alien tripping on a powdery white substance. HOW did this air on ’90s TV without a “very special episode” tag?
