Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The Trump Administration deciding to refuse government grants and loans to students studying majors that they feel would not make enough money to repay the loan is at first insulting but also a way the administration can reshape education strictly to serve as training for industry. 172
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Im actually surprised, but the Astros made it into the playoffs. They barely pulled off a .500 record this year, and beat the Rangers by one game. 020

Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Hmm. Where’s a good place to get a new phone CASE without having to go to some sketchy mall kiosk? Amazon has too many cheap and questionable products. 720
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The Emmys really should be on a free streaming platform. It already has ads! The television academy does itself a disservice by having it on a paywall, streaming. 000
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 12/09/2026So, why have a big rally, dressed as if it was a convention on the days before 9/11? Because all the news on 9/11 will be focused on that, and not the dumb things candidate and the president said the night before. 110
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 11/09/202625 years after horrible acts it really seems like the US took away all the wrong lessons. Endless wars, growing surveillance on our own citizens, a political divide that only seems to drive everyone into teams, a bigger divide between haves and have nots. It doesn’t make me want to think about it. 161
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It’s time for a new phone. I have a regular iPhone 14 that’s showing its age now. I now have to decide if I get a iPhone 17, or an 18 Pro. I do not want a Max, and really don’t care for the Pro, but I do want the latest to then have it age gracefully. I wish they put the 18 (amateur) out today. 120
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Ahh, the end of summer. Which in Texas just means the start of the rest of summer. 190
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I really want a Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza. Not a full pizza, just the little mostly bread personal size. I haven’t seen a place that sells them in at least 10 years. 390
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Happy to have seen Coyote vs. Acme today. Definitely fun and really loves the original cartoons. Slapstick and pathos. I’m thinking the idea that a huge company is hurting cartoons in order to become more profitable may have hit a nerve with WBD’s Zaslav causing him to try to bury it. 030
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Strange New Worlds seems to really want to do body horror this season. It’s kinda gross. Also much of the drama in this episode (Off Hours) could have been avoided if they were just puppets. 010

Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I really don’t think there was a better example of the good of America than Dolly Parton. Talent, wit, charm and compassion. An example of what faith should be and how it should be positively act in the world. We are truly less with her gone. 091

Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 21/08/2026One of the reasons Star Trek has run 60 years is the diversity in its cast and characters, but also in its exploration in stories and genres. Doing comedy, horror, action, courtroom, etc keeps it fresh, even if it’s not all for you. Locking it into a grimdark manosphere action series would kill it 040
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Three things I see as giveaways in AI writing. *Too long, too wordy, too adjective heavy. *Loves to make a ramp-up statement: “It wasn’t just a moment, it was a community” *Everything comes in threes: “We will forever remember the friendship, the warm laughter, and the long, cool nights together.” 330
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 17/08/2026At this point, it’s hard to believe that there are spies like the Mission Impossible team or James Bond. If there were, I think one of our allies would have quietly killed him by now. 031
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I have stirred up a hornet’s nest on Facebook by calling the current -no original members- Village People a tribute band. Apparently they have a new song out, but it’s by all the replacement folks. It’s not the same group! 350
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 10/08/2026When I was in pep band I saw a lot of women’s basketball. It is a contact sport, and often more brutal than the men. These people who are shocked that the WNBA players get knocked around are just now noticing women’s sports for the politics, not the game. 040

Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I like that there seems to be a backlash of AI image use by restaurants where the “food” falls way outside realistic. I have no idea why these small restaurants use it because it’s terrible, with mistakes etc. Why scares me is that this will come around as “ironic use” in the not so distant future. 030

Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 29/07/2026From the first commercials for it, the Stewart fails to Save the Universe seemed interesting, then I saw it was a Big Bang Theory spinoff and thought, eh. Then I saw the BBT producer and writers were doing it, and I thought, nah. 120
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I missed a step in the backyard last night and ended up falling. Doesn’t appear that anything is broken, but my right ankle hurts as does my left calf, so it’s hard to walk today. Chris picked up a cane for me, so I’m feeling a little old today. 480
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Marvel Studios made a whole movie with the hero’s journey to make Shuri (Leticia James) the new Black Panther, and now She doesn’t get a movie just being Black Panther? They are just going to age up a secret kid of T’challa and do the hero’s journey again? Geez. 120

Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. We spoke for about 20 minutes.

Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I hate to tell the congressperson that the reason there are scholarships for women in college sports is men’s football. Under title IX an equal number of scholarships have to be available for men and women athletes. The revenue sports (football, basketball) take up most of the men’s. 010
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 02/07/2026As much as I laughed at the empty mall pictures, with the weekend coming I’d expect to see More people at the DC “fair”. There’s a whole range of Trump lovers who will go to “prove ‘em wrong”. We can still laugh when they show how bored they are. Then fair runs another week, so back to empty. 010
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Saturday we went out to eat and shared a server with a group that we found out were Argentinian men in town. The server was working through a language barrier and lots of beer. I saw after they left she showed the bill to the bartender. She told me, $250, no tip. She said several groups had stiffed. 020
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 30/06/2026This decision by the court knocks down a major precedent on creating independent agencies, taking away a major power of Congress and giving it to the Executive branch. It truly allows the president to turn agencies away from their intended purpose and serve the president’s agenda. 010
Michael Edwards @eggwards.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Saw Supergirl today. Good thing to go darker as to not have a girl clone of Superman. A sex trafficker for a villain seems right.
