My intention was “hey guys, remember how I used to watch wrestling all the time and now I’ve fallen off? Anyway I watched an ep and it was good”, and it was a bunch of randos reacting like I just learned what wrestling was

Yeah, the Bluesky difference was it was all positive replies and likes, I still was like “no no go away”

Deleted the AEW post, hate when a bunch of randos show up to a post that has a personal context required

What does that even stand for Matthew Jerk F……who could say

You gotta check out this guy they got down there named Kenny Omega.

I had like eighteen episodes on my DVR and I kept being like “I’m gonna start with this Thanksgiving episode!” for like three months and finally was like, “that’s dumb, it’s a merry go round, just hop on now”

Weirding me out that no one that is liking or replying to this actually follows me and seems to be replying as if I am new to the whole company but sure, go 'head guys, thanks for the support lol

Yeah, I go way back to the beginning with it but since last summer, which it was still very good, I had just fallen off of watching it regularly, so I want to actually get it first-hand again

just speaking as an american, someone who invested some large portion of their life in american institutions such as law and courts and whatever:

its weird that there arent any overarching principles? like, even if there was a country run by vampires, we can't just attack them on whim? nope. nada

the cheapest and most abundant and utile political resource for the american ruling class is muslim life. this has been true my entire life. you can never go wrong slaughtering muslims

oh shit!

Two stop signs with a red “ICE” sticker under the word “STOP,” one further away from the other, but due to the magic of forced perspective, it looks like there’s a big stop ice sign and a little baby stop ice sign.

Don’t talk to me or my son ever again.

I'm genuinely just thrilled that people's first NFL-related thought of her is a joke about the stupid Browns instead of her very real presence as a part owner of my fuckin' team lol

Somehow the simultaneously smartest and stupidest branding coup Silicon Valley pulled off was getting people to equate “LLM chatbot” with “AI”

Awesome! I didn't even know you were a podcast-doin' sorta guy or I would have invited you earlier :) we have a couple leftover without a strong guest for the 2006 season, lemme DM you and I'll throw it out to see if any of them strike your fancy

I love that we've gotten old enough that now our lived experiences are being reinterpreted by people who weren't there, it's so fun to see what survived and what got recontextualized and what felt important and didn't endure

yeah man, the kids are, as they say, alright

A World Forever in the Shadow of Apocalypse In Gianfranco Rosi’s transfixing film Pompei: Below the Clouds, crisis and collapse are ever present, but so is hope.

Gianfranco Rosi’s mesmerizing and award-winning new film POMPEI: BELOW THE CLOUDS is very much worth your time. www.vulture.com/article/pomp...

Genuinely there are a lot of Korn t-shirts at my kid's school, not for plays, just for wearing, I see a lot of Korn, I see a lot of Slipknot, and for the more unexpected for me, I see a lot of Deftones (!) and a lot of Evanescence

Alex told us about this a while ago and I'm so excited that it's finally coming to fruition. I saw the first nine when our show @boxofficegross.bsky.social covered the 2005 AMITYVILLE remake with Ryan Reynolds, but the entire maniacal rest of it has definitely been beyond my reach, can't wait!

Well hell yeah man, let me DM you the few left over unclaimed for our '06 season to see if any strike your fancy!

Also remembering that I’ve gotta invite @kphipps3000.bsky.social
AND @benjaminschultzfig.bsky.social onto @boxofficegross.bsky.social, although probably in the fall for the ‘07 run, unless either of you really wanna talk about OPEN SEASON or SUPERMAN RETURNS in the next few months ;)

Somehow I missed that @kphipps3000.bsky.social has a podcast about pre-Y2K sci fi films! With a bunch of smart people I respect! And this one has @benjaminschultzfig.bsky.social on it!
How exciting!

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%

One of the best things about our show is that we are not saying a single word that we wouldn't be saying in our private conversations lol

The ESA Saved Video Games Once. Can It do It Again? The President of the ESA talks about child safety, AI, and calls for unionization

What does the ESA do in the age of generative AI, child safety lawsuits, and digital storefronts that have ditched ESRB ratings? I went looking for the answer.

FOLKS! Coming -THIS MONDAY (Mar. 9th)- to @boxofficegross.bsky.social !!!!

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

Hoo boy.

Watched four straight masterpieces

of all the wrong things Alexi Lalas has said, this is easily in the top five goldengoalmag.substack.com/p/the-mother...

I’m not a conspiracy theorist and everyone thinks the refs are biased against their team, but there are definitely times that it seems like calls that they will give to even other Nuggets don’t go for Jokic specifically because he’s so annoying to them about injustice in calls
