All right, let's be clear. As is often the case, we have people with a political ax to grind (in this case, people with whom my interests align) who are mischaracterizing a statement to create a controversy that doesn't exist.

Elon Musk did not say the election was stolen.

TIL that "dour" is pronounced like, "doer," rather than rhyming with, "sour," as I've been assuming for about 30 years

Wheel of Time on Amazon just connected the dots for me that I didn't pick up on 20 reads.

Nynaeve gets sick on ships for the same reason she has a block. She can't make herself fully surrender to things greater than her. She fights them. Really cool connection.

Amazon is really not doing right by Wheel of Time. I've watched the first two seasons and four episodes. But it doesn't appear in the continue watching page. Or Series Spotlight. Or TV Finds. Or Fresh Picks with Subscription. Or TV Shows We Think You'll Like. I have to keyword search to find it.

The best thing that the Wheel of Time show is doing is setting up Elayne & Aviendha (and later, Min) w a romance/friendship before Rand is involved. That way, when they fall for him as well, it will feel authentic when they say, "We're not letting a man come between us just because we all love him."

To the person in room 409 at Great Wolf Lodge Wisconsin Dells, why have you been stomping around your room for the last four hours and what are the giant weights you're slamming around?

Rigged

@gregtompsett.bsky.social Saw you're not boycotting the Super Bowl. I'm on the fence. But I know that I'm gonna have a little meltdown if Travis proposing to Taylor is part of the halftime or postgame broadcast, like is rumored. It'll make it feel awfully rigged for ratings.

That was a first down on the QB Sneak. The @buffalo-bills.bsky.social were robbed. Huge shift in momentum that led to 7 points for KC. It’s clear NFL Officiating is in serious need of reform.

Chiefs win has an asterisk. They got bailed out by the refs again.

Fuck these refs.

they’re going to give it to KC even though he got it. let’s be real

This is bravery. This is meaningful opposition to fascism. This is a strong contrast the performative, milquetoast nonsense that I'm seeing too much of lately.

This constitutes fiercer opposition to Trump than anything we've ever seen from the most powerful elected officials in the country. What a thing to watch.

All right, I'm officially swapping out X in favor of BlueSky, I will be posting my weekly screeds against @nflofficiating.bsky.social here from now on.

Yeah, this will do just fine as an alternative to X
