To put it simply, Ohtani’s contract, along with the rest of the Dodgers record breaking payroll, is being payed for with money from your family’s life insurance policy. Allegedly. They don’t deserve to three-peat. Support the Brew Crew!

Just a reminder to anyone who might be considering rooting for the Dodgers: Their owner, Mark Walter, and his life insurance companies are currently under investigation. Allegedly he illegally invested money from life insurance policies, into other companies he owns including his sports teams.

Oope nvm: I guess it was one of Packers who needed to be carted out because Johnson put starting offense out on the field. Fuck Ben Johnson.

I will say it again: Ben Johnson is an abusive asshole who will get one of his players killed, because he can’t lose to a team he escalated things with.

I remember during the press for Network, Sorkin was going around saying the deposition scenes were 100% accurate. When Fincher was asked about that he said, he didn’t know what was true or not. He just saw a modern Shakespearean drama about power, and he wanted to make that movie.

I wonder what would have happened if folks had taken seriously the rise in political violence and threats against women, trans, Black, and antifascist organizers and figures back when we were all getting swatted and sent photoshops of ourselves beheaded

I know Mitchell made the catch, and I am ecstatic about that, but that Padres fan that reached over and tapped Micthell’s glove is getting kicked right? It’s not as egregious as the Yankee fans, BUT STILL!!!

If the Brewers can at least tie to force extra innings, they will go on to win. The Padres don’t have any more pitchers.

mc_raney42 @mikescraney.com · 07/10/2026

Fox and TBS broadcast only one league during the playoffs each year. It flips every year, and TBS has the American League in 2026. So they aren’t airing any Brewers games this post season. That’s the only reason they aren’t advertising the Brewers.

mc_raney42 @mikescraney.com · 07/10/2026

Gonna get this in before the Brewers take the lead: I’m not a huge baseball fan. A big part of it is I’m a Wisconsin boy married to a White Sox family. I casually follow both teams, but I have never expected them to be contenders. This is the first year I believe one of them is gonna win it all!

010

mc_raney42 @mikescraney.com · 04/10/2026

A superstition I believe is Wisconsin can only have one team who’s a contender at a time. If sacrificing the Packers’ season means the Brewers will finally win it all, so be it.

So their is a question of if and how it makes it to streaming. And at 4 hours, I’m sure more people would see it on streaming than theatrically. But it will release in US theaters on October 9th.

mc_raney42 @mikescraney.com · 24/09/2026

Kinda, they are a co-producer on the film and have the US home and streaming rights. But they don’t own the film. And Bleecker Street has the US theatrical distribution rights, Universal has the international rights. Both have committed to releasing the film.

I would like to draw your attention to the post I scrolled past, on my feed, at 9:21 pm today; the Twenty-first of September.

A screenshot of a Alonso Duralde post that reads “It’s been five years, but I still miss these. @electrolemon.bsky.social”. That is followed with a link to Demi Adejuyigbe’s music video titled “9/21/21”.

Remember the trailer for HIM, and how Marlon Wayans character put people through insane drills, representing the end game of a win at any cost mindset. I’d bet that’s how Ben Johnson treats the Bears players.

And that then makes the site where they met a shared place. But we’ve also seen this dynamic weaponized by fascists, when recruiting. I think the difference is most of those people could find places to connect with people in the real world, but it was quicker and easier through a screen.

mc_raney42 @mikescraney.com · 04/09/2026

Which has lead me to believe that online spaces can only ground you if can’t get it in the real world. One of the other things on the list was connection to older generations. That is easiest to get through family. But we’ve seen queer people replace that online when their family rejects them.

But he did add the caveat that while a chain is a weaker grounder than, say, a Town Square which can combine with other the other grounding things. This was 10 years ago. He finished by saying he didn’t think online places had the same impact, but if they did, they were even weaker than a chain.

mc_raney42 @mikescraney.com · 04/09/2026

The most interesting thing is the professor argued that the reason chains are so influential in our current society is because as more people move away from their parents home, you can still relate to them by talking about trips to Target. Because Target is Target everywhere.

mc_raney42 @mikescraney.com · 04/09/2026

I think a lot the “5 things people need to feel grounded” lecture from an intro to cultural anthropology class I took. One of them are shared places. Think of an old oak tree that kid can climb, that his grandparent can share stories about climbing when they were a kid.

“Ellison is now offering three-year contractually enforceable commitments to the U.S.’s two biggest theater chains...” Why three years? Because that’s how long it’s going to take to burn through all the movies the two companies are already invested in and contractility obligated to make.

In film school, my Acting for Directors professor had studied at The Actors Studio. Her first lecture was on the history and misconceptions of the method. She had this line — Sending creepy gifts to your fellow actors in character isn't the method. It's abuse.

Yeah and a lot of the "white rural voters" people are trying to court, aren't even. They're exurbanites with a city job, a long commute, & a "farm" that mostly functions as a tax shelter. They might "feel" rural. But have no real skin in the rural economy, beyond driving up the price of land.

They are also limiting what suffering is, to the physical. When I hit puberty I started suffering mentally from gender dysmorphia. It only got better when I realized I am non-binary. Add body dysmorphia for people who need gender affirming medical procedures and there is quite a lot of suffering.

When I hit middle school my dad started letting me watch any R rated comedy, drama, or action film that was made before the PG-13 rating was introduced. His argument to my mom was they would have been rated PG-13 if they were made today. I think Caddyshack was the first of those.

But if the whole class breaks down and becomes disrespectful, it's viewed that the teacher "lost control" and they just have to cope.

I think the big difference in the states is teachers don't really have a Head of Year to call. Setting aside dangerous situations—You can send an individual or group of students who are disrupting class to the principal. 1/

mc_raney42 @mikescraney.com · 15/07/2026

I feel like that trope is based in a truth. I had teachers who weren't as respected, that had to talk over the class packing up and getting ready to leave, especially if they went over time. But rarely did anyone outright leave, 'cause they needed to know the homework they were on the hook for.
