I am afraid we are about to see the Dodgers rattle off like 10 World Series wins in a row, or something absurd like that. I know it's not probable, but it still seems possible the way MLB is currently structured.

I prefer the time before every actor we've ever known was in talks/rumored to be in a Star Wars project, & the ones who were in Star Wars are just like, "Yeah, Star Wars nearly ruined my life."

Especially if you're in a city like Portland or Chicago, where we've seen peaceful protestors getting tear gassed & manhandled lately.

It's the "know ex-military; get a drone and walkie talkies; track everyone's movements" where I'm like, "Nope, that's too much. You must have ulterior motives."

See, as I mentioned to someone else, I'm kinda somewhere in the middle here. The first part, taken alone, would seem like somewhat reasonable advice, along with the "don't RSVP to protests" from a few weeks ago. If you're more comfortable taking extra precautions to not be identified, that's on you.

That had me in the first half. Seems reasonable, advises basic cautionary steps you can take, a lot of which I've seen other people giving lately, too, across multiple platforms.

Lost me in the second half, though.

Still stuck between wanting the Steelers to succeed and wanting Aaron Rodgers to fail. Just call me General Hux, I guess...

Just the thought of putting 9 screens in front of my face and playing all the movies at once is giving me anxiety lol

If I've learned anything over the last 10 months on Bluesky (and Threads) it's that posting a little map captioned "Breaking: These States are IN; These States are OUT" is great engagement bait for angrily tagging your elected officials while knowing next to nothing about what "IN" means.

It's difficult to find it anywhere. I saw a DVD or Blu-ray copy in Barnes and Noble a few years back and now regret not picking it up at the time.

I believe that's just a Milwaukee thing, but I only speak as a Pittsburgher. I have no knowledge of other cities lol

I think Philly should replace all their professional mascots with vaguely Muppet-like abominations in the same vein as Gritty and the Philly Phanatic, honestly.

No mascot introduction will ever beat the #Gritty reveal. That was one of ~the~ days to be on the internet.

Really have to appreciate that all my friends were obviously emo kids in high school, which makes scrolling IG feel like I found my old iPod.

Never realized that George Kirby looks like Timothée Chalamet.

Can I be the weird outlier who says Mars Attacks? It seems like everyone forgets that one, so I've committed it to memory for some reason.
