If you're tasked with bringing the cold cuts to a surprise birthday party there's no delicate way to ask the host where you should hide the salami.

It's wild how much better Sinner and Alcaraz are than the rest of the field. I guess Djokovic is still a threat if he's healthy, but that's about it. #USOpen

Goddamn this Krejcikova - Townsend match. Sad Townsend couldn't close it out in the 2nd (what a tiebreak) but this match deserves a 3rd set. Holy crap.

Going to NYC and to the US Open over Labor Day weekend had become a bit of a tradition (went 3 of the last 4 years), so I'm kinda sad we weren't able to go this year. Oh well, we're doing a major garage clean out this weekend which feels really good.

This is such a cursed timeline I’m getting nostalgic for the easy days of the early 2000s. Maybe I’ll get my eyebrow pierced and frost my tips.

I do like sports games. I occasionally play an NBA game and a tennis game on my switch. I'm probably just bitter that the switch doesn't have Madden and I refuse to shell out money for a playstation or xbox.

I'll go on record as someone who thought the premise of Jaws 3 was actually a pretty good one, but the execution was horrible.

Best compliment I can give the movie Weapons: at the beginning there was a loud mouth in the theater and I was like "Oh no" but apparently the movie got him because eventually he completely shut the fuck up.

WEAPONS was fantastic. Lived up to the hype.

Cool how the photographer at the Trump Putin meeting made it look like one of those old timey photos.
Scott Gibbs (@scottgibbs.bsky.social)
It's happening! Going to see Weapons tonight. And we're seeing it in the big RPX theater. The only thing I don't like are the stupid "buttkicker" seats. You should be able to turn those off if you want. But I'm guessing it's not a super loud "buttkicking" movie.
