Al: So here comes bowl of poison. We all know the bowl of poison story, no need to rehash it. Overcome a lot of adversity. Kirk: I gotta say I’m honestly bowled over — no pun intended! — by how hard bowl of poison has worked to get back on the field. Al: Great story. First and 10 from the 26.

I'd like to make it clear, although the list is unranked, they called and told me that I'm #1. They said there's nobody more important than me in any list they've ever made. They said, "You won the TIME100 lists" then called the astronaut on the list a coward. Little much but I can't control them.

I could not agree more. The Rise of Skywalker basically murdered my interest in the Star Wars franchise, and besides that the whole point of the trilogy-of-trilogies was to tell the story of the Skywalkers. We've had e-goddamn-nough of them already. Tell some new stories!

Oooh... 8Gbps is awfully tempting, but I'd have to upgrade my multi-WAN router.
Screenshot of an Internet Plans comparison page. The selected current plan is 2 Gig at $100/month, with download speeds up to 2 Gbps and upload speeds up to 1 Gbps. A recommended 3 Gig plan also costs $100/month and advertises speeds up to 3 Gbps in both directions, a Wi‑Fi 7 router, and optional battery backup. An 8 Gig plan costs $150/month. A fourth plan on the left is cut off.

This is a pedantic pet peeve of mine: Frick (and Spink) Award honorees are not inducted into the Hall of Fame, they're honored by it. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame & thus a "Hall of Famer" is a very different thing. I think broadcasters *should* be inducted, but as of right now they aren't.

Thinking back to two distinct but similar situations in my early 20s, when someone I had a thing for chose someone else over me. I was shattered & embarrassed and I (totally unfairly) took that out on the person who was chosen. It was a terribly immature reaction but I was young and, well, immature.

Went to Hog Day, a local barbecue festival in town that's been happening since 1983. For the second year in a row, their logo was AI-generated. I sent a polite email to the organizers expressing my disappointment and suggesting that they go back to using human artists and the reasons why.

I think the finale sets a personal record for most dialogue tracks in a single scene.😅
Screenshot of a Logic Pro audio-editing session titled “DRD S01E10 Church Scene - Tracks.” The timeline contains multiple color-coded tracks: purple ambience clips across the top, orange sound effects, and many green dialogue clips for characters including Jack, Daria, Gavin, Mrs. Corcoran, Bell, Jenkins, Harlow, Jamie, Mercer, and Survey Imp. Track controls and mixing meters appear along the left, with the playhead positioned near the start of the project.
