I was not prepared for Spinal Tap II to be my lowest rated movie that I watched in 2025, but unless something goes horribly wrong in the next 3 weeks, it will retain that title. I had several 5/10 ratings this year, but this received my first 4/10.

It's ok, Tap. We'll always have the original.

I’m on a heater. Four 2s in my last 10 games. Surely I’ve just jinxed myself.

Are any other ROC locals unable to use PayPal for their donations through unitedwayrocflx.org for Giving Tuesday today?

This new format is very nice and readable. I dig it.
The focus for impactful snowfall continues to be late tonight into the Tuesday morning commute for the region. Snowfall should taper off across most of WNY by early afternoon, though light lake effect will linger across Rochester, the Finger Lakes, and the western Southern Tier. pic.

Sorry not sorry for being that guy, but here’s The Beths absolutely slaying the crowd in Pittsburgh tonight with their most well known song.

Everyone sing along… you say! you say! i die! i dieeee!

This band remains untouchable. Perfect in every way.

Ah, ok.
So we’re at this point on the timeline.

Pretty sure Bugonia is my favorite Yorgos Lanthimos film yet and not just because it’s the first one where a random animal isn’t heartlessly killed.

Fucking kill him!
Fucking kill him already, kill him
Ah, fucking kill him
Fucking kill him

Kill him already
Kill him, fucking kill him”

Someone please assure me that there are teams of scientists diligently working in labs around the world trying to develop a chemical that can be added to laundry detergent which will cause cat hair to dissolve away without damaging the fabrics to which it is adhered and embedded.

The Amerks have been playing Powerman 5000 “When Worlds Collide” before the start of the second period lately and I gotta be honest… it’s very good.

No QB has ever looked more disgusted with his defense than JA does every time the camera cuts to him on the sideline.

We are not doing a good enough job of teaching our children how the internet works, in general. It feels like it's a very narrow range of humans, let's say 37 to 62, who have even the faintest understanding of how complex and interconnected all web services are.

Bandcamp Friday is a month away and I really want to buy this Rosie Tucker album but damnit, I'm going to tough it out and wait.

I'm a little late to the party on this one, but goddamn, this is GREAT. Highly recommended.

It's been a bit over a month since I released this thing.

This Steely Dan cover has been the fan favorite so far and after listening back for the first time in weeks... I'm not ashamed to say yeah, this is pretty friggin good.
