I guarantee you it's better for your mental health than whatever else you're looking at on here.
I mean...just look at this. It goes on and on and on.

That Coke commercial that's almost entirely AI was never really very good, but with how much it's played over and over I'm REALLY sick of it.

I caught the last bit of Big Fish; it was enough to make me cry.

It's the final recognition, the final acceptance, that his father was trying to emphasize the wonders of life; and the recognition that it was the man and the people he touched, not the stories, that are the legacies of his life.

No shade on that game for any player on either team. Good game.

Good night all.

Good for Brendan Little, he came up big there.

I think this would be a better game if all the players KNEW WHAT A STRIKE IS.

September 7th, 2008: Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw meet for the first time, replacing legendary scheduled starters Randy Johnson and Greg Maddux.

17 years later, Scherzer and Kershaw each pitch in Game 3 of a World Series. 👀

The city put up signs to warn people that setting off fireworks within city limits is illegal.
Judging by what I am hearing, the message didn't sink in.

No idea why the Jays continue to trot Little out of the pen. He's been bad for weeks.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

I just think in the upcoming municipal election I am not going to vote for anyone who is a member of one of the new municipal political parties.
I want someone to represent me and my area, not be beholden to a group with other priorities.

@resalien.bsky.social You can have Jake Moody back at Michigan any time now.

When I saw one of the movie channels I sunscribe to (Hollywood Suite) was showing "Weekend at Bernies" today, I wondered if there was some sort of hidden message.

While watching Oceans 11 (again) I wonder if any casinos change anything to prevent any of the plot points from having a chance to be successful?
You know some yahoo would be wanting to try.

Has the plot of any movie precipitated changes to security protocols?

I just watched the finale of How I Met Your Mother again for the first time since it originally aired.
I think the reaons people HATE it is because Cristin Milioti was SO GOOD. She fit in right in; Tracy was the perfect ying to Ted's yang; and we liked her
Cut the final 7 minutes, and it was perfect

Why be serious when any agree could/would be torn apart at the whims of a lose cannon.

Every so often I hear some crazy statistic and I try to find the source. Which often leads to another source. And so on. At some point it will be obvious that someone misinterpreted the original fact.

And those incorrect facts are found by people who "do their own research"

I've lived in the same neighbourhood for 20+ years. Originally only Safeway was close. Then a while later Calgary Co-op opened much closer, so that was my store. They closed so I to the Superstore. But they got greedy so I went to a different Co-op. Now I rotate.

BTW - Safeway has the best bread.

At some point the Sabres are going to need to keep some of their young players that other teams want.
How much longer will they be the pantry of the league that other teams look at when they need something?
Yeah, those players are valuable. That's why the Sabres need them, too.

Ya know, I am against the death penalty but people setting off fireworks after 11pm, echoing all over the neighbourhood, making all the dogs go nuts.... I am starting to re-evaluate my position.
