So if I understand this DOGE…thing, Musk is basically Charles Grodin’s Murray Blum character from the movie “Dave”? But not affable or likable like Charles Grodin was, nor good at responsible accounting like Murray was?

Live-actionify Bambi, @Disney. Double dare you. Or are you too chicken?! #SnowWhite

It’s not getting much play but at least twice, DT said, in no uncertain terms, that he’d withhold the US’s protection/support of foreign allies if they didn’t “pay up”. That is the textbook definition of a protection racket. #PresidentialDebate

I’m pretty damn irate that the *one* time Harris wanted to have an unscheduled rebuttal, ABC moderators shut her down, whereas about 15 time before that (and more times following) they let DT go right on ahead with his… #PresidentialDebate

We can all agree, right, that when Pete Buttigieg is the Dem pres. nominee (in whatever year that ends up being), he’ll need to have Hakeem Jeffries as his running mate? Purely for the joy of a “PB&J” ticket? #DNC2024

My 4yo’s sat w/ me for a fair bit of #DNC2024 and, while blissfully unaware of what it’s all *about*, he listened w/ surprisingly rapt attention to various speakers, commented excitedly about the people there, and was just genuinely & joyously engaged. A great shared experience.

Anytime @HouseofDragon knocks it out of the park with its dragon CGI (which last night’s ep. *definitely* did!), I’ll again implore and plead to @StreamOnMax that they next take on the many, many #DragonridersOfPern novels.

I am in love with how in love St. Louis is with the Battlehawks. The earliest hype definitely came with a hefty side of spite, but the affection and passion now on display is endearingly earnest.

With #MarchMadness2024 now upon us, its worth once more contemplating how odd and ill-fitting the term “field goal” is, as it relates to basketball, and how we’ve all just kind of collectively gone along with it. #MarchMadness

Attempting to will into existence a @NintendoAmerica #NintendoSwitch compilation of three classic (but overlooked) #LucasArts games: The Dig, Labyrinth: The Game, and, most importantly, LOOM (image below). Bonus kudos if Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle are on there too.

Excited to *finally* share my #OutOfThisWorld treatment’s been green-lit at @AppleTV. Pre-production starts Q1 2024! While there are tonal tweaks, rest assured it’s a *direct* continuation of the amazing (and hilarious!) 1991 series finale, shown here: youtu.be/cO5rbTX436U

If @TedLasso and @brendanhunting were to release, in real-life, #TrentCrimm’s completed in-universe AFC Richmond book he’s crafting, written earnestly and in proper character voice, I’d snatch that thing up off a bookshelf quicker than you can say ‘barbecue sauce’. #TedLasso

While shifting around in my chair, it perfectly creaked out like 80% of the opening kick for @OriginalBBD’s ‘Poison’ and I’ve now spent an improper amount of time at work trying (unsuccessfully) to recreate it.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but the #WiiU/#3DS eShops shut down in 18 days, and Capcom is fire-selling *everything* for $2.99 a pop. That’s 5 Resident Evils, 4 Monster Hunters, the first 6 Megamans, & 4 (6, really) Phoenix Wrights. Plus DuckTales! All told, $45 for the lot.

If I’m the @XFLBattlehawks coach, I’m throwing up the Hail Mary pass there with 10 seconds left in the first half and down 4. Gotta trust your guys, Coach! #stl #battlehawks

Does anyone else still use (unironically) MS Paint on a fairly regular basis? No? Just me? Oh…

This is the second or third time in this period that there was a clear pick/block by the Avs, and this one resulted in a goal. Watch to see if it happens again, don’t just look at scoring plays/chances. #stlblues

The #stlblues pregame is laying it on *thick* about “how sad the fans/City are” to have lost O’Reilly. But I haven’t seen one person who’s fundamentally crushed by this trade, and most are ecstatic. I mean, he’s been here, what, four seasons (and one of those Covid shortened)?
