I saw Post Malone dad jokes were trending, so I had to mention the best (low) post Malone, Moses Malone. The thing was, even if you could defend him in the low post, he'd just get the offensive rebound and score anyway. These are highlights from the '83 season.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

This prompt made me realize, I haven't watched an episode of a scripted show at all in November. I don't know if I did in October either. Maybe a Better Call Saul on Netflix.

I saw Star Wars is trending, and normally I'd make my reminder that Disney needs to make an Ewoks vs. The Predator movie, but after seeing Killer of Killers, I don't want anyone vs the Predator anymore if they're just going to end up frozen after.

(But I so still kinda want to see that movie.)
