What's people's guess for the dumbest thing Trump could announce during this? I'm gonna say it's an executive order putting Roger Clemens into the baseball HOF

My overly simplistic view for "crime is bad as ever" folk: An hour local news cast allocates 30 min for local crimes committed. Let's say that covers 10 different crimes. If total number of crimes goes from 500 to 200, they're still seeing same crime coverage. 10 crimes. To them, crime isn't down.

A reminder if in an #SFB15 league on Sleeper, we have to adjust all the waivers tomorrow for the one preseason waiver run. We go league by league and once done we'll post and you can put in bids that will process on Wednesday.

I don't remember the sandwich at all. I mean, it was a sandwich at an airport. But I was fucking hungry. And I know I was happy to eat. But the beer. The fucking beer. It was so cold and good. Goddamn.
Matthew Giraldi (@mgiraldi.bsky.social) reply parent
Like...I think about that beer a lot more than I should. It was a budweiser. It shouldn't be remembered. But I can remember the taste. How cold it was. The plastic cup.
Matthew Giraldi (@mgiraldi.bsky.social) reply parent
But, it also got me thinking on a related note. The best beer I ever drank in my life was at O'Hare. My wife and I sprinted across the airport, got to our gate just as group 1 started. I got an Italian Beef sando to go & a Budweiser. I downed that beer right there. It was so fucking cold & good.

Just watched the movie "Red Eye" with Cillian Murphy and it's always funny to analyze plot holes. To me, it was funny seeing people in awe of Rachel McAdams sprinting in the airport. Like...if I'm at an airport and I see someone sprinting, I don't bat an eye lol.

One of the best slight of hands Trump has ever done was to deflect his administration's handling of 2020. There's a myriad of shit that should've prevented him from ever being in this position again, but the fact so many gave him a mulligan rather than holding him accountable...damn. Just surreal.

Ok...so now I have to find a new TV show to binge. But it got me thinking, what's a hot take on TV shows you have that defends a show. Not hates on one? For me, my biggest one is probably that S1 of Mr. Robot is a top-5 season of television ever. The rest of the series was fine, but S1? AMAZING.

I've been watching City on a Hill recently. Just watched S3 E8. Then got the "well this is the end of the road" from Amazon...which led me to look up what happened with this show... And fuck. There were so many things left to tie up. I hate when decent shows get abruptly cancelled like that.
