Ooof. After my two no brainers of Battlestar and Andor, picking the next eight was so hard. So many runners-up including Shogun, Succession, For All Mankind, The Crown, Big Bang Theory, Homeland, Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown and Chernobyl.

I'm not curious why. I just hope this never happens during the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on a sweltering Fourth of July. Or during Jeopardy Masters.

And now the Packers are collapsing against the Vikings. Could this Sunday possibly get any more perfect?

Still getting used to working Sundays, but the Bears won in spectacular fashion and I'm celebrating with some moon cake. Now, if it would only get cold enough for me to have short-rib ragu going in the slow cooker...

With a name like Bryce Young, I just assumed he's one of Brigham Young's 30,000 direct descendants. Spoiler alert: He is not. 😂

Bubble tea do-over tonight. This time I remembered to ask them to add the boba! 🧋

I thought a bubble tea would be a nice accompaniment to the back half of my shift tonight. I forgot to ask for the boba when I placed the order so now I’m stuck with a plain boring milk tea. Seriously, the boba should just be a default—you should ask to leave it out rather than remember to add it.

Not having a scoreboard and claiming the scores are "proprietary" is wild, especially when there are tens of thousands of dollars on the line.

I don't get all the people who just love love love summer. We're in the midst of another heatwave, the sky is on fire and salad is giving us explosive diarrhea. And, if you're in NYC, there's a sprinkling of Legionnaire's on top of it all. I'm staying inside and eating donuts 'til fall. Fuck summer.

I swear, time dilation occurs when it's this hot. I keep thinking it's Friday, but alas it's only Thursday, meaning there's still two more days of this heatwave.

Dear European friends here for the World Cup and looking to take home some of that tasty condiment: You’ll be wanting Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. Accept no substitutes. Just about every grocery store will have it. Except Whole Foods. Stay away from the ranch dressing at WF, it’s awful stuff.

It appears NYC got through the night without a single fire escape collapsing, which is genuinely astonishing.

One thing I didn't notice before on Battlestar Galactica that I picked up right away during this rewatch binge: WHY are there this many journalists when humanity is down to fewer than 48,000 people? Meanwhile, there's one doctor and he's a chain smoker. They are well and truly screwed.

Started reading "The Spy Coast" last night, my first Tess Gerritsen book. I couldn't get past the first few pages because in the opening scene a (presumably retired) spy escapes would-be assassins in her Paris apartment by going out a window, down a fire escape and into an alley.(1/3)

The NFL totally needs to be investigated over its TV and streaming rights tactics. But you also gotta wonder if the DOJ is punishing the league for the Bad Bunny halftime show. (Gift link below.)

The joy! The genuine smile! Cheering for her competitors! Alysa's crowning achievement today wasn't so much winning the gold as it was showing the world that there is a way to win in figure skating without embracing all the toxicity that is the "Tutberidze Method."

Wake-up call for Ilia Malinin: "Quad God" or not, you can't phone it in at the Olympics. Kagiyama's technique was textbook and the landings on his jumps were as smooth as silk.
