Pop Songs (Possibly Girly) that are Great (When No One's Watching)
I'm not a dance pop person, but this one gets me going:

Euro 2024
What was Stones doing there?

Shoresy (Letterkenny Spin-off on Hulu)
It’s not that I don’t want to watch it. Finding time is tough these days with work (me and wife) and two kids (4 and 7). I happened to have the flu, so I was able to sit in a bedroom and knock out 3 shorts seasons. 12 short seasons when things are normal is a bit more of a task.

Netflix Recommendations
- Shoresy (Letterkenny Spin-off on Hulu)
I watched this over the last week and really enjoyed it. Funny throughout and got emotional at times. The characters were all distinct and interesting. I want to watch Letterkenny but that episode count is daunting. Scattershot thoughts: - The constant tear downs and insults had an incredibly high hit rate. Top notch writing. - I loved the little ridiculous concepts they threw in there like Sudbury having just straight 10's all over town. So funny - Any scene in Nat's office was a must watch. Same 5 characters and always entertaining. Someone asked earlier and the answer is Miig - The Jims were fucking beauties. I sat up in my chair each time it was coming around to Jim 3 - The only repetitive joke and set up that didn't work for me was JJ Frankie JJ. It was fine, but a ton of time was spent on all of his exes and it was diminishing returns - Jory Jordan is a king. - Shorsey saying "Huh?" a second after asking a question got me every time. I hope that was unscripted and he would just throw it in to throw people off randomly. I did it to my wife like twice and she shut it down real quick. Highly recommended if anyone is considering it.- Holy Shit. I hope Costner pulls this off: Horizon: An American Saga
This always seemed real stupid. You need to give people time to watch at home before releasing part 2. This is not even a paradigm shift with less people going to the theater, this just seems like common sense in any era. I assume part 3 and 4 aren’t filming any time soon.- The next USMNT coach
How long do they have to wait until they announce Berhalter as the replacement? How long do they have to wait until they announce Berhalter as the replacement?- Euro 2024
Walker did not need to do that. Brutal. Kane off? That’s weird in a game that has a high probability of going to pens.- Euro 2024

I kept looking for a premiere date and glad it’s so soon. I’ve read a few books ahead, so pretty pumped. Spook Street (this season) is great. Gotta get enough seasons in before the main cast members get bored.- Euro 2024
Love Kane penalties. No dancing, he just runs up and smashes it. Respect to the goalie if you can reach those.- The movie you just watched
Ok, I have to ask. How did an 11 year old in the year of our Lord 2024 get interested in Encino Man? Is there a Pauly Shore comeback I wasn’t aware of?- The movie you just watched
Had nothing to watch the other night so popped on The Nice Guys again. What a fun movie. Crowe and Gosling are great and it’s so well written. I really wish it would have done better so Shane Black would get more shots like this.- The Boys S4
What year was this in the A&M yearbook? 1986?- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I do find it funny the instead of a Tesla, he is looking at a VW. You know, the original and literal Nazi car.- The Supremes
“And if a former president’s official acts are routinely subjected to scrutiny in criminal prosecutions, “the independence of the executive branch” may be significantly undermined.” I’m sorry. Didn’t they just destroy the independence of the executive branch? Or is the Executive Branch just the President now?- "the bear" - new series on fx
I haven't gotten into Season 3 yet, but I have been rewatching 2. The Fishes/Forks duo, as well as the finale have been discussed to death (deservedly so), but the two in between are really good too ("I wear suits now"). I had forgotten how much goes on in those and how well it brings us down and sets the stage for the finale. Just really top notch writing and season building.- Religion, weaponized religion, and the separation of church and state
https://www.history.com/news/why-the-star-spangled-banner-is-played-at-sporting-events Apparently WWI. I've stopped being into that too since it's just performative nonsense to me. I'll go through the motions, but I prefer to be somewhere else (bathroom, walking the concourse, etc) when it's being sung. I just find it strange. Why not do it before movies? Plays? They do it before my 7 year old's swim meets for some reason. They have cute kids do it, so I guess it's a performance for them, but I don't need to perform as well. I actually just asked my 7 year old about the pledge of allegiance and she had no idea what I was talking about. She goes to an Episcopal school, so depending on your views, that can have its' own cult aspects. I have been pleased with signs that they use a very progressive and welcoming version of Christianity. Interesting variation on the usual Church vs State argument though.- Religion, weaponized religion, and the separation of church and state
We should just trash the whole pledge of allegiance. Looking back, that’s some creepy, cult shit.- Guy Ritchie & Cavill - The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
I saw it in theaters a bit back and enjoyed it. Nothing fancy, just a fun movie. Dudes rock. It didn’t do great here, but I hoped it did well enough in the UK to be a success. I saw it had $0 and apparently Amazon had rights in the UK, so no box office there. Sucks that they didn’t put it in theaters. Hopefully Amazon paid up big to offset it.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
We were all in the car yesterday and my 4 year old said, “Mommy, I just saw one of those ugly cars”. He meant the CyberTruck. Raising them right in this house.- The Wire

I don’t think the Fincher one tanked. I just looked and it had a $90m budget and made $102m in US and $232m worldwide. For a 2.5 hour pitch black movie, that’s really good. I imagine Fincher wasn’t interested and they couldn’t pull it together like someone said earlier.- Tell me about ou
Who the hell were they bidding against?- RIP Donald Sutherland
DeNiro and him sparring. Doesn’t get much better. Then William Baldwin just wasting everyone’s time. - Shoresy (Letterkenny Spin-off on Hulu)
