I mean, they don't call me Donnie Baseball, so I guess I can't judge, but damn it, I'm judging a little bit. Quite a bit in fact. Atlanta truly is a house of horrors for the Phillies.

I think it's funny that Trump thinks he can rename things and it will just change. I took a course on Artificial Intelligence in college in 1995. I am not going to call it Super Intelligence. It's asinine, and to pretend it isn't is bonkers. Looking at all of you Republicans who try to push it.

Well, at least I can watch the Phillies today, to take away the pain of the Eagles...at 2:00 when I'm at work. Well, tomorrow...2:00. Well, Thursday....son of a bitch...2:00. Well, at least I can't see them disappoint me either. I work from home on Mon and Fri. Games are on Tue, Wed, Thur. At 2:00.

Sorry, this game was on me. My voice betrayed me and the Eagles.

280

You dickheads KNEW they were just trying to draw you offsides. And you did it anyway.

250

My only consolation in this game, is that the guy I'm beating in fantasy football has Hurts, Smith and the Eagles defense, so I don't see him picking up 19 points in the next quarter. If he does, I'll be happy, but I don't see it happening.

I love/hate this team! Hate for entire first half until 1 second left. THEN I LOVE!

I was at the grocery store in my Barkley jersey and a guy w/ jersey says, "Go birds" and I respond, "Go birds", except I was kind of swallowing, and it came out way higher than I normally talk, my voice cracked and I developed a southern accent somehow. Hopefully not a sign of the future. #gobirds

It's great when you get an error on the deployed application that you don't get in debug and you are sure you saw that error before, so you look it up in the call TICKETS app and find that, yes, it's happened as far back as 2019 and the fix was...it just stopped erroring, but this time it isn't.

I am watching Alien because I realized that it has been a long time since I last watched it. I've watched Aliens within the the past year, but the first one has been many years. I will never not laugh as the computers UI in movies like this and Star Wars. It's like a Tecmo game. Great movie though.

Donovan @donomite.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I finally watched the last episode of Reacher tonight. What a silly show. It's just big stupid fun. I wouldn't say I love it, but I enjoy it, even if his acting chops are the equivalent of...I don't know....mine. Good times though.

The Phillies should never bunt, because they give away an out and there is not guarantee that the next batter can hit a fly ball to score the runners in scoring position. Of course, it does take the double play out of the equation, which is something they can hit into well.

Donovan @donomite.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I'm watching Final Sacrifice again. After many years of research and many worthy movies, Final Sacrifice still makes me laugh pretty much the whole way through. Edging out Space Mutiny was tough. Even edges out Rifftrax classics like Samurai Cop, Miami Connection and Birdemic. Just the best.

I managed to hang both my bikes up. Gave my other bike to my son. I am also a terrible handyman. I also discovered my one spoke is loose, which sucks.

I put one together. Did I miss anything? For sure. I assumed it was shows that started in 21st century, so no Futurama or Simpsons. Granted some of these shows started off great and fell off. In fact, many did. Arrested Development is 1st for first 3 seasons. No real order for the rest of the shows.

So Manchester City was found guilty, as everyone knew they were. Really curious to see the punishment. I'm betting that it will be inconsequential they would do it again in a heartbeat and say it was all worth it. It should be Juventus level punishment and sent down two levels.

Chat Pile is not music made for me. It's fine, but not my thing. BUT if you said, what bands would you like to hang out with, they would be near the top. Seem like delightful guys and probably a blast to tour with.

Extinguish Thy Flame, by Noctule

I have her previous one on vinyl, but I'm being responsible and not paying the crazy shipping on this one. But I'm hoping I can eventually get it on vinyl. I mean, I love Eldon Ring. And I know Serena Cherry is who she says she is, iykyk. This is great. #metalsky noctule.bandcamp.com/album/exting...

Picked up this album at the show last night. #scalp #metalsky

Gasket is fucking blowing me.....away. yes, it's a little Arrested Development joke. I can't believe there isn't a gif for it.

Donovan @donomite.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I made it to the Scalp show. And I wore my Scalp tshirt because I rarely have a good place to wear it. I don't go to many hardcore shows.

2120

Feeling lazy, but really want to see Scalp and Gasket tonight. Hoping my ass wakes up. I went home for lunch and was sitting on couch watching YouTube and was awakened by the next video starting out very loud. Came back to work and have yet to fully recover. Eyes are heavy.

#metalsky Top 2 rows are all great new albums. Trhä could trim the songs down a bit, but cool. Fine for another 20 year break from U2. Sherwin have been friends for like 15 years, that I always thought they would get bigger than our local scene, but they didn't. They are fantastic AJJ style punk...

Finally got around to this comp, because based on his past comps, I had to be in the right headspace but based on the first 3 songs, I should have listened to it immediately. Or I am in the right headspace. Either way, it's fantastic. #metalsky machinemusic1981.bandcamp.com/album/milim-...

17 track album

I fell in a Sherwin hole. I have seen these guys so many times they actually thank me in the liner notes of one of their albums. I'm good friends with them now. But this song makes me laugh. Good garage punk/rock. sherwin.bandcamp.com/track/go-west

So it would save like one Qatari jet refurbishment, one ballroom and one arch to ruin 750,000 people? Cool. Priorities are definitely winning hearts and minds.

I setup this whole meal with my kids and granddaughter tonight. I have a roast in the crockpot, everything is ready and I realized the Mastodon/Deafheaven/Alcest show is tonight in Philly. So, I have a ticket for sale. NYP. If it doesn't sell by 5 pm, it's free. Let me know. #metalsky

Went to a restaurant and suddenly my guts started gurgling and I was like, babe, we need to go now. So we paid and got out. On way home there was an accident that closed the road. Then every car in the development came to a complete stop and waited in the empty intersection at every stop sign.

My bike ride passed Three Mile Island.

Thanks to @machinemusic.bsky.social, I have been inspired to put this on. Album has the longest build up to one of the best songs. You can't start at song 3. You need to go through the 17 minutes of 1 and 2 in order to get the full release of song 3.

I had a dream I downloaded a virus that changed my search page to a My Little Pony search page and I was as stressed in my dream as I would have been in real life. Then I I applied for a job at Hot Topic in order to get rid of the Circus magazine that gave me the virus (I was confused in dream too)

Null Crowned the Infinite, by Sworn

Turns out, this is really good. Looked like it might be cheesy, but it's very nice melodic black metal. #metalsky swornnorway.bandcamp.com/album/null-c...

Don't get me wrong, I've liked this album since it came out, but it felt so different from the previous album, that it bummed me out. However, this has really been growing on me, even if it has a little Dimmu Borgir cheese to it. I love it. #metalsky stormkeep-odl.bandcamp.com/album/the-no...

The Nocturnes Of Iswylm, by Stormkeep

7 track album

I listened to U2 discography through Achtung Baby and made a playlist of the songs I liked so when I want to hear those songs again, in 10 years or so, I don't have to listen to that whole discog again. The 16ish songs that I remembered liking were good and the songs I didn't remember, I know why.

Wrong Man is like a new Fugazi album. Fluisteraars album being done live in one take is pretty amazing. Green Lung is good, if you like their old stuff, you'll like it. I haven't listened to U2 in maybe 20 years. But I was reminded that they used to be pretty good. Social D was good. #metalsky
