current status is snort laughing at Cookie Monster asking "can we do that song? Is dat ok? Are dey going to have to pay a royalty?" Consummate showman.
MSY taxi stand coordinator is the kind of job that doesn't really exist anymore. Feels like a true expert position.
Obviously fuck the Dodgers. Also: love how the reaction is "we need a salary cap" which only helps owners, when the real issue is not that the Dodgers have crazy resources but that 29 other teams aren't utilizing their own. A robust salary floor would accomplish the same balance w/o punishing labor
Watching thrilling MLS soccer so I can ethically hate on it as a product for another 12 months
Cignetti getting the SEC to fall for the "You're So Vain" trap is so good.
Random CEO: I am excited to announce my own AI startup. I will make a machine so powerful it will solve all the world's problems including climate change. I just need $50 trillion unfettered sovereign reign over four currently populated U.S. states, and 60 years before results Ruling class: Deal!!!
Yep that's some pent water all right

@tonyreast.bsky.social I had a vision of Rick throwing out a Huff/Zubac front line at some point and the absurdity of it made basketball sicko me very happy. Over/under 0.5 minutes for that combination this season?
Later season MASH put a LOT of emotional lifting on David Ogden Stiers
To be clear I'm 100% okay with this, it's just that I wear it because @lisamarietea.bsky.social got it for me at Oracle Park last summer and I hate the Ricketts family so I have limited Cubs loyalty, so I always feel like I'm disappointing people seeking ex-pat community
Mr. Martin@mrmartinoakland.bsky.social · 2w agoIt’s not unsolicited. Wearing a band T, a sports hat, you’re identifying with a tribe. Why do it if you don’t want to discuss your tribe?
Extremely funny for Those Guys to brand a movie as Super Woke and then have it whoop as much ass as Odyssey does
Nothing has brought me more unsolicited convos with strangers than wearing a SF Giants hat in New Orleans. It's fascinating.
My takeaway from whenever I see things like old Emeril shows or Letterman clips go viral is always "wow TV was so much better back when they tried to make it good and fun and popular" which is fun.
The Insider has given me a clearly unfulfillable desire to have my own security detail as I walk through an airport
If I were a screenwriter I'd set everything in the 90s purely for the potential tension of a lead character waiting on a key incoming fax
Surprised Strong and Holden broke into their discussion about narratives and momentum to acknowledge a goal
Honestly surprised at how much of MythBusters involved pointing guns directly at the camera
A thinly veiled allegory about how American society in the 1950s existed under the constant threat of ants

Brad Carter is fantastic in S1 of True Detective. Makes a real impression very quickly.

Pickford has made some insane saves and yet doing the "hands right by the ball but not actually picking it up yet" time-wasting move and then ALSO whining to the asst ref when an opponent runs in and makes a play for the ball while you're doing it is the kind of bad karma you don't want to cultivate
