Should probably post a new intro for people!

I'm a freelance writer for sports & film, with a particular focus on film history. Also host a long-form film history podcast Revenge of the Film Nerds with the incomparable @blackkrystel.bsky.social

Huge proponent of media preservation. Here to help.
People who won't raise a hand to help someone out of there's nothing in it for them. This esp pisses me off when it's stuff like a mom needing to get her stroller up a staircase. Can't fathom how people can just walk past that situation and not at least ask, "Would you like a hand?"
12. What is a common behavior you see in public that immediately tells you everything you need to know about a person?

Movies in the 1990s rocked because they were simple: You learned the premise, you were in.

A group of hackers led by Gary Busey attempting to steal state secrets, and the only man who can stop them is Wesley Snipes through the power of skydiving.

Congratulations! You now want to watch Drop Zone.

I have always felt my film analysis working on @filmnerds.bsky.social improved tenfold from the moment I released the notion that I *had* to have definitive rankings. Now I stake my flag in the ground for certain favorites (Apocalypse Now, All That Jazz) but mainly try to judge enjoyment in a vacuum
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

It was only a matter of time. Expect this to take off as a successful sales tactic in film, writing, and music as well.

Among the many blessings in my life, I was taught AP US History by a teacher who told us the first day of class that his lifelong dream had always been and would always be to teach US History, faults and all. Didn't realize at the time just how much he pulled back the veil for our class.
We should require 2 years of US History in high schools across the land

Welp, looks like I'm applying to remote jobs based in Toronto
Woah!

Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you.

If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position.

The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI

People completely memory holed Cambridge Analytica, and it makes me feel insane. This has been an active measure against the West for AT LEAST A DECADE!

Okay yeah, I think it's time to pull the fire alarm on Freddie. I know he's made a career of being resilient despite injury issues, but he does not look like the answer for the Canes anymore.

Oh no way! Twitter/X is an influence operation through which foreign adversaries manipulate the American electorate by pretending to be from here while posting reactionary opinions and fascism?

That is so crazy!

By the way, what's Cambridge Analytica?

Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris have been disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Max Verstappen is now tied with Piastri and 24 points behind Lando.

What an UNFATHOMABLE fuck-up by McLaren.

it’s possible “to get hooked on” literally anything, especially if it is used to relax, sedate, or ease pain & suffering

y’know what has a DEADLY withdrawal & seizure potential? alcohol, which is legal in every state

y’know what pot withdrawal is like? Irritability, anxiety, insomnia, & nightmares
Doctors say it's possible to get hooked on pot. There's a widespread misconception that marijuana is not addictive, and it's expanded as a growing number of states legalize pot.

The NBA family is deeply saddened by the passing of Rodney Rogers.  Rodney earned the Sixth Man of the Year Award while playing for the Phoenix Suns and was a beloved teammate during his 12-year NBA career.

For all his NBA plaudits, the first thing I will always remember about Chris Paul is how he scored 61 in a high school game to honor his slain grandfather. My HS played his HS (West Forsyth) in sports frequently. That tribute still means something in NC basketball history. I wish him well.
NEWS: Chris Paul is retiring at the end of this season, he announced.

The Clippers guard and 12-time All Star will call it a career after his 21st season in the NBA.

"Nottingham Forest has not lost or drawn at Anfield in over two years," is somehow a real fact, and the Premier League makes no sense in 25-26.
