Woke up at 5:30 for that gut punch. Back to bed.

I am happy to announce that I am back on my bullshit for 2026-27. Up the Dale.

A great week at the theaters. #LastFourWatched #filmsky

To the trumpet player spamming the Edwin Diaz theme at Charlotte Independence vs Hartford Athletic: please. No more. #USLCup

The West continues to get wilder 🙃🙃🙃

🤝 Sources: Cal Jennings has signed for Sacramento Republic in the USL Championship. Former LAFC, Tampa Bay Rowdies & Charleston Battery striker should bring elite production to Sacramento. Jennings joins as free agent after spell with Japanese club FC Ryukyu. @backheeled.com.

It sucked me in for Cocktail for a few minutes - wish they would do The Sunday Night Movie more often!

Joe Adalian@tvmojoe.bsky.social · 4d ago

So ABC is airing (modern) classic movies on Sunday nights over the summer, and they're doing pretty well! 31-year-old WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING notched 2.21M viewers this weekend, edging out NBC's much more costly Sunday Night Baseball game (2.01M)

This is massive for Phoenix, which means I really, REALLY hate it

🤝 Sources: Phoenix Rising is signing Juan David Torres on loan from the Charleston Battery. USL star. Torres had 13 G+As in '24 & again in '25 w/Charleston. This loan ends Torres' time in Peru's top-flight. Started six games + had a $400k purchase option. Big get for Rising.

Why does anyone in the year of our lord 2026 COOK FISH IN AN OFFICE MICROWAVE

How am I supposed to give PLATOON LEADER (1988), directed by Aaron Norris, starring Michael Dudikoff, a 1.5 star rating if LETTERBOXD IS DOWN

If you want to be served food and never given a check: Delicia’s Cafe 😌

It feels good to get knocked out of a higher-level lower-prestige cup like the Carabao Cup 😌

Seeing a US non-league crest recycled in Brazil is WILD

for a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? a collection of several pens that no longer contain ink and therefore serve no discernible purpose

Never should’ve renovated it

Just spent the last hour building spreadsheets for home, away, and overall points-per-match tables in USL Championship just to try to figure out if the remaining NMU schedule is easy or hard. I need to go watch a movie or something.

You never know how much you miss the same 5 local ads shown for halftime in the USL Championship matches until you get the one ESPN+ commercial break monolith screensaver instead.

I am curious - are other ABC markets showing a Sunday Night Movie right now, and if so, is that movie Cocktail, and if so, why are we watching Cocktail

I’ve only watched four films this month. Gotta get back on the wagon. (Buffet Infinity is the winner in this bunch.) #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #filmsky

I don’t want much in this world. Just to be able to play Skies of Arcadia and Front Mission 3 (in its original build) on my Switch Lite.

Was there ever a point where this sort of conduct would earn a Congressman censure? I don’t even know any more.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains.

Absolutely no one: Me: I would love to see Josiah Allick playing for the New Mexico TBT team

So hard up for hoops I’m watching TBT, and if you like efficient ball movement and offensive strategy, you are in the wrong place

Sometimes you see an Instagram comment that just deserves to be seen by other people.

I miss soccer. ⚽️

Watching USL Championship when your club has the weekend off: that’s sicko territory.

I wish my team was playing tonight or tomorrow. THAT’S how you know things are going well, when you look forward to the next matchday.
