I wish I was sitting on a bar stool in Key West. Here to talk about movies and sports. Capitals. Commanders. Nittany Lions. Yankees. Chelsea FC.
I wish I loved things as much as my 4 year old loves seeing the garbage truck

Even as Republicans complain that DEI lowers standards and that putting more white men in charge will improve performance, here they are misspelling "military."

The highest compliment I can pay Jayden Daniels is he makes me say dumb football cliches like “he’s just a WINNER” when I watch him play

I think this every year but I have no idea how people grow up with A Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life and end up as conservatives. Or do Republicans just not watch these movies?

So weird, it’s almost like outsourcing all of our cultural landmarks to money-obsessed corporations entities is backfiring (see #SesameStreet) #JamesBond

@davechen.bsky.social I’m a little behind on the podcast and catching up on your convo about ‘A Complete Unknown’. You’ve gotta make time for ‘I’m Not There’! It’s the antidote to all of the problems you stated about biopics. I’m not the first to tell you this but wanted to add another endorsement!

Manningcast really is a national treasure. It’s got to be required viewing for every high school and college football player right??

I think when I’ve said “I don’t like horror movies”, what I really meant was I don’t like torture porn/body horror. Well crafted atmospheric horror does hold a certain appeal. And so, I’m really excited for Nosferatu! (2/2) boxd.it/f5eG
Nosferatu (2024)
A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.

I’ve been saying for years that I hate horror movies but as I’ve slowly carved out a spot for the films of Robert Eggers, I wonder if that’s really true (1/2)…
“It reminded me of being a child and seeing the original ‘The Exorcist’ and feeling as if I was seeing a documentary record of evil, one that was itself cursed, and that I should not even be looking at, because I ran the risk of releasing that evil into the world.” www.rogerebert.com/reviews/nosf...

Ok I don’t love this idea but let’s keep the creative juices flowing! Let’s not be too precious about it when there’s opportunities to make the game more exciting.
What if a team could choose one at-bat a game to send its best hitter to the plate whenever it wanted?
That’s the Golden At-Bat concept in a nutshell.
But how do baseball personnel feel about its potential implementation?

The Golden At-Bat rule could give MLB a new shine. But is it worth it?
What if a team could choose one at-bat to send its best hitter to the plate even if it wasn’t that guy’s turn to hit? MLB could test it out.

I think this is kind of ridiculous, especially in the context of Ohio State, easily one of the most arrogant and annoying teams in college football. If you don’t like it, don’t lose to your rival at home or use it as motivation for next year.
Rivalry games emotional enough without planting flags. Winners must act with class, too: The NCAA should fine teams and suspend players who attempt to denigrate emblems and logos. It has been a firestarter for years.

Natural wine (usually a cab franc) and Courtney Barnett. A combo that hasn’t failed me yet
Folks get in on this. What’s your chill beverage and music?
Well I’ll start our conversation — I like to drink sparkling water or iced coffee to relax 😂 don’t ask coffee is my comfort — current go to chill record is marking my time by elmiene or take your time by Sasha Keable
