In January 2012 I was on a school choir trip and our director took us to see The Darkest Hour, a low budget sci-fi thriller where a couple dumbass Americans are stuck in Moscow during an (invisible) alien invasion It is the worst thing I have ever been forced to watch

Ready Player One might be the worst book I’ve ever tried to read so imagine my surprise that it is spawning a SECOND movie
I am fascinated by Zay Flowers making more money than Chris Olave
Relieved that the World Cup is over and I can lovingly embrace FC Dallas again tonight
As a History Guy, it makes my blood boil when these dudes say “historically accurate” and mean “get rid of the black people” (stupid, racist) instead of “make the armor goofier” (cool, actually historically accurate)

This whole thing is weird as hell but if I ever fail to stop what I’m doing to look at Shakira please euthanize me

Some of my first Bluesky followers were English and I stuck on this app because of them so I must not speak right now
I’m sorry but The Odyssey just does not look like a good movie
The only good thing about the days I go to the office is that I get to turn into Carl Weathers in Arrested Development - I get to wander around, ingratiating myself to random departments until I stumble upon a birthday party or departmental mixer with snacks
I have continued canvassing for the county election and today I got catcalled Fellas, engage in activism
Dembele had to hold back all game so that his Dictator could have the first goal
White Scars project finally done, so I can get back to my comfort zone painting black all day
Absolutely disastrous political vibe shift + lots of dudes individually not ready to meet the moment Sucks ass right now but in four years this will be a better team and It Will Have Happened
This show was amazing and made me incredibly sad. Everyone should watch it.
Rob Delaney@robdelaney.bsky.social · last mo.DTF St Louis is sublime? Why didn’t it break through more? It’s NOT what I thought it was. Beautifully crafted. Much artier and weirder than I thought it would be. Highly recommend. Need to know about why the police station is unnecessarily wonderful - like a theatre set for a Kafka adaptation. Love

Is it a thing every regional soccer association in the world would be quiet about if it happened in their favor? Well, you see, now that's a loaded question, this is a complicated issue, and you can't fit the
Mexico too cowardly to dribble past a defender, too short to get a head on a cross, and not accurate enough in their passing to walk one in. Horrendously ill-equipped for the moment.
I once again can’t contest that it’s a red card on paper but I *despise* that application of VAR
I am just glad to see that the United States of America have arrived as a serious footballing nation
I don’t object to a red but I object to a red in a game with half a dozen uncalled yellows
Idk man I don’t love rewarding the Belgian for initiating contact with a defender who couldn’t see him to draw a penalty
Basing still to come but incredibly pleased with my White Scars experiment
