If you like bad horror movies and corny commentary you can't do much better than 'Nightmare Theater' on PBS. I think it's out of Florida? But it's absolute movie nerd perfection.

At my nephew's wedding reception and the kids are going ape shit for Pink Pony Club and I couldn't be more happy, proud, and hopeful.

I can’t believe I need to say this but if you are tied or losing in the late innings of an elimination game you throw your relievers in order of how good they are. Or, I guess, you *could* throw Erik Miller against a guy who mashes sliders and then a guy who hasn’t pitched since April.

I took the Eagles in my pick-em-all weekly pool this week but I am thoroughly enjoying this Case Keenum walloping tonight. Good stuff. Go Birds? More like No Birds, amirite?

Not a touchdown. And it shouldn't be - the pylon play is the worst rule in the game. I hate it.

Seriously. What the eff, dude? Get your god damn head out of your ass. Sorry. Maye doesn't have it. I'll be pissed if they sign him to a huge contract next year. No thanks.

The fact that Drake Maye is now being recognized across the league as a terrible decision maker does not bode well for the Patriots. As a Pats fan, I'm about one more boneheaded mistake from being hopeful to fully OUT on this kid. Get your shit together, man.

Forget grandiose talk of curing cancer - this is what AI is actually doing to healthcare. In the words of one cardiologist: “it’s bots fighting bots, agents fighting agents, a horrible dystopic future nobody wants to live in.”

You can not suck me into this obvious op to make Cam Skattebo into the next novelty superstar. I refuse to partake in this folly. This, this Lin-sanity of the Gridiron. I won't do it.

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

Woah! SWEET double play by Suarez! I love those plays. I was a pitcher in my work co-ed softball league for about 24 years(!) and it always felt sooooo good to make those catches.

"We nearly did 99 Luftballoons with AI" is a great illustration of the actual danger, not that it's going to think for itself and go rogue but that it's a million miles away from that level of sophistication and people are still this eager to outsource human decisions to it

Apropo of nothing, I don't know what Andruw Monasterio's walk-up song is but if anyone's listening I think it should be Moving in Stereo by The Cars for obvious reasons.

The same word (*wurðiz in Proto-Germanic, distantly related to German ‘werden’) becomes: 1) a goddess responsible for fate in Old Norse (Urðr), 2) the vaguely personal notion of fate or luck in Old English (wyrd), 3) a word for describing people interested in this stuff in Modern English (weird).

Why include what Trump thinks here? The problem with that is he has absolutely no idea what the history is and/or what "Irish Reunification" even means. The only reason he said it was because he was *in* Ireland at the time and he wanted them to like him or something.

It’s very important to know you can just tell them their questions are dumb. It’s what Trump does! He’s been very successful at it! The media decided to stop asking actual important things to him because of it!

"Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all the people watching or listening are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has, all caused by Republicans, unlike this fake one you made up. Dumb asshole."

I haven't heard anything all pre-season about Romeo Doubs in Patriot's training camp. Now I know why. Guy looks washed. I hope not but it's not looking promising.

Call me crazy but maybe some of the Patriots starters should've played at least ONE snap in pre-season. Just one? But no, please keep telling us how much better these stupid joint practices are. G'wan.

The Pats have a lot of work to do on their short game (run plays, flat-outs, anything less than 5 yards). Like A LOT of work to do. Looks like dogshit tonight.
