My dad is a very funny man but his humor is so dry and subtle that I'm shocked whenever anyone thinks he's not a fundamentally silly person

To this day I remember when I was young and said "huh, it's funny that my brother, dad, uncle, and grandmother all have late September/ early October birthdays" And my dad, who was sipping his coffee, just said, "Well, February is a cold month" and left the room with a mic drop energy

How can I get AppleTV to just make 80 seasons of SLOW HORSES? This show really scratches an itch for me.

I can't believe I forgot Breakfast Club! That was a movie that my babysitter showed me and I fell in love. I went into school the next day and I was like "hey everybody! There's this amazing movie and it is absurd how awesome it is because NOTHING happens. It's just people talking but it's so good!"

Everything, and I mean every single thing, is Gender, Race, and/or Media Literacy. Emerson College didn't prepare me for a lucrative career (in the arts, lol), but it sure did help me understand the real world unfolding around me every day.

Politics is a popularity contest, and whoever tells the most compelling story wins. Democrats would, on the whole, rather walk into the sea that tell good stories.

I don't like Clerks as much as I did back then, but it was one of the films that inspired me to go to film school, so I think it's one of those "movies that shaped me"

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath. If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.

A bumpy toad with a few stripes. He wears a strap across his chest over a torn shirt. Where his right hand should be, there is an isopod. He holds up a stick, in the pose of Bruce Campbell as Ash in Army of Darkness when he says "Listen up you primative screw heads. This is my boom stick."

There was a language barrier but after they knew that I wanted to help, they accepted it quickly. Then the three of us were pushing their car. And then two more people joined.

Beans (or Stephen J. Beans) @jaybeans.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Part of why I love Oakland, is that as I was driving today I saw two people pushing their car. You know we have a friend behind the steering wheel and a person pushing behind the car itself so you can get some momentum. I pulled over. And I asked if they would like help pushing the car

These are horrible numbers but from about the 1870s to Ted Williams book the science of hitting in the 70s. Then players would take lessons from it, but it was around 2010 when Statcast got people to go from slight upswing to launch angle

And of course, as with pretty much all of modern baseball hitting, you can trace it back to Ted Williams (and with better illustrations)
