- SPOILERS HEREIN FOR END OF STRANGER THINGS
- Amazing. On every level. I hope I can meet sir Ian mckellen one day and that he will humor my decidedly less intelligent than he, certainly bumbling energy
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
- Valdez and Duran (or just any bat of 3rd base) instantly puts the pirates in the wild card picture
- it took Zeztz a minute, but now with Episode 20 this feels like a Yuuya san show .
- (THREAD) A passing friend from college/university--we had several mutuals, but that friend group fizzled out really quick after 2 transferred--commented that "there's so many wandering spirits looking at my stuff...like why? Maybe that's mean, but i'm tired." More in replies
- $75 for an "inner circle" membership, effectively, for all things connected to the band Young the Giant, who are pretty known, is quite the move right now. If they were higher on my bands I like list, i'd consider it.
- All do respect to Flippin’ Bats Pod an Ben verlander because his content is generally good (although it’s weird how much how the shows produced has changed) , the recent clip about the Nationals is just ill-informed (like almost to an FT level) & sounds like he hasn’t read up on what is happening.
- Full thoughts in the future in my “bought in 2026” thread on here but studio series 86 soundwave gives a real good first impression. Laserbeak and buzzsaw are good. Ravage is indeed absolute ass. Also, they really could’ve packed the accessories for those 3 better
- Did I order that Transformers Timelines Samurai/Feudal Japan Optimus Prime and Starscream set because it actually looks really cool and unique--after watching a certain reviewer's video on it (honestly, despite how he gets the toys I have less issue with him than most)? Yes, yes I did
- So I liked doing this “transformers I bought this year” thread last year (even if I did nothin beyond the posts with it) so we’re doing it again. The reply to this kicks it off
- alright this is the album we needed from Alter Bridge and the album 2026 needed (at least for hard rock fans) to start the year. Full thoughts after a couple more listens. But, early review is 4- to 4.5 stars solely because some of mixing choices in the back half I have little nitpicks with
- Renee Nicole Good’s death was not “a tragedy of her own making”. Full stop
- Wordle 1,662 X/6 ⬛🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟨🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟨🟩⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ Christ. Really wordle, that’s the word?
- Pepco really needs to make it clear that you're getting a refund vs. saying "you've got a bill due for a negative amount in 3 days" like its urgent. The amount is clearly a refund for some reason. Don't make me think I owe more. I already paid that bill
- Reposted by Steelphoenix8Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession
- Better late than never: a “live tweet” of my wife playing #TearsofTheKingdom #Zelda Context: we’re both just side-questing and messing around before Zora domain stuff. “Is it wrong to murder a horse for raw meat? Asking for a friend.” #BreathoftheHorchata
- Relatedly, I know Britta Curl is very talented, but could we tone down the hype for her? She’s got a history of being anti LGBTQ & saying some terrible stuff. If she’s apologized, great. But for a league that’s about visibility and inclusivity it’s not great
- Not gonna lie, basically half the USA Women’s Hockey team for the Olympics being players from the Frost is kind of annoying. There’s very good players on every PWHL team, records aside, & the lack of NYC, Vancouver or Toronto players is a bit disappointing.
- There is a chance she was saying “it’s a real workout walking up this hill” & it came out judgy unintentionally.
- There’s an uphill straightaway on part of my morning cardio intervals route. Today, a lady powerwalked past me and I heard her say “you want a real workout & you’re walking up this hill “ in a judging/disapproving tone. Yeesh. I hope whatever is stressing her out that much gets sorted. (1 of 2)
- Colbert’s feed on #CNNNYE is giving such New England dad vibes
- This year on Bluesky I wrote 511 posts and 150 replies. I received 260 likes, whereas 1 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "wordle" and ⬛! www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...
- Man, at least push back on your friend's jokes/comments a little John Favreau, even if Tim's ideologically different from you. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... (also I get it, jokes dont need to be PC etc. but Jon Stewart's better than saying "there's always 2).
- Just don’t ask me to say more than “hi, how are you? I’m good, and you?” In Spanish and we’re good. 😂
- (1 of 2) Ah yes, a 16 minute video on how the Studio Series 86 constructicons aren't great, are deeply flawed and (in the reviewer's opinion) not good as Devastator, especially for the price they were (and will be when thrown in as package refreshes). Yup, dont need that energy.
