anyone who is still an enthusiastic harry potter fan in 2026 deserves to be publicly shamed & bullied

Oh! I loved this book.

I re-read I Capture the Castle for my final #RootRootRead square. I read it close to 20 years ago and loved it; upon a re-read I don’t know that I feel the same. Thanks as always to @itsallaboutde.bsky.social for doing this for us!

For me the season is over when the Astros are done, so now would be fine.

Saw Backrooms this weekend and I do not get what is supposed to be entertaining about that movie. It just reminded me of when I used to work at Sears, down to no customers, empty spaces, and bad lighting.

I enjoyed it. It wasn’t the movie I was expecting but I don’t mind.

I was like 5 or 6 when I first saw that scene. I feel like we were being watched by a relative because there was no way my parents would play that movie during the day where their children might see it.

It’s weird and I hate it. The whole point of a podcast is that’s not television.

Then we watched Backrooms. As someone that has motion sickness issues this movie can go to hell. Also if you find “backrooms” unsettling you’ve obviously never worked in a department store or on night shift.

Next up on the Halloween movie train was Happy Death Day 2U. I liked it, but this is a sci fi adventure comedy that has a small slasher section. It is in no way a horror movie.

Every October the husband and I binge on spooky/scary/Halloween themed movies and television shows. This year we kicked-off with Happy Death Day. I liked this one way more than I thought I would. Funny, with good characters. Not too scary but that’s okay.

Thank you for all your work! Have a nice, relaxing, off-season.

I once saw him go on an anti-abortion rant on twitter. Another time I accidentally discovered he followed Turning Point on instagram. He could have evolved from that viewpoint but I doubt it. Have no fondness for that man.

Kara McCullers and her husband probably assume the victim is lying.

I just don’t want the Brewers to win (due solely to Bud Selig). Outside of that when the Astros are done I’m done.

Applescruff1981 @applescruff1981.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
No matter how good or bad the season went, I always feel a little lost after the Astros are done for the year. No other sport has the same pull for me.

Started watching High Potential. I don’t know that it’s good but is oddly entertaining.

I think the Rockets might be on an upswing. Could be fun.

Applescruff1981 @applescruff1981.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Yeah. That’s what we fans have been saying all year.

Applescruff1981 @applescruff1981.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
It ain’t over til it’s over but I refuse to be mad about this. This is who they were all season. Don’t act surprised.

If Alvarez, Altuve, Correa or Peña said this I would respect it more than those two losers.

I don’t believe in booing your own players but now I kind of want to.

Applescruff1981 @applescruff1981.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Walker talking about “we faced a lot of adversity to get here” and like bitch you were the best of a bad division. You got LUCKY. (I swear I love this team and always will but I’m allowed to be annoyed).

Sousa and Walker throwing hissy fits. Meanwhile, Yordan:

Send them to the Yankees for a season playing the way they did this year and come back and tell us they have better fans. You know how hard you have to suck to get Astros fans to boo you?

Applescruff1981 @applescruff1981.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Bennet Sousa and Christian Walker ESPECIALLY don’t get to complain. We already don’t like either of you nerds.

I couldn’t figure out the supposed problem either. He went to a basketball game. So?

I’m not taking this series seriously as the Astros have no business being in the playoffs, and am just happy the Wildcard series is on one of the few streamers I have so I actually get to watch them play, but God I forgot how frustrating Blubaugh is.

Applescruff1981 @applescruff1981.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
So you’re saying that if we wait 108 years people will forget about a team’s “checkered” history?

Applescruff1981 @applescruff1981.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Honestly? I really hope so. That would be awesome.

This is the sort of thing that makes America great. It’s sad that there are people that can’t see that.

I heard it once because I was too lazy to hook my phone up (my phone is too fancy for my old car) and was stuck listening to the local pop station for 10 minutes. I listen to some newer music (Olivia Rodrigo is fave) but mostly stick to the tired and true.

Applescruff1981 @applescruff1981.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I thought it was fine? It could have been a lot better, though. If it had followed the Woman of Tomorrow comic closer it could have been superb.

I don’t have cable so the only dose of Blum I get is from Peacock and YouTube highlights and he manages to be cringeworthy in 5-10 second sound bites.

Applescruff1981 @applescruff1981.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
It would have never in a million years occurred to me to blame Hader. Him, Alvarez and Peña have been the only good things about the team this year. Anyone that would blame him doesn’t understand sports.
