So it looks like tonight's Wolves game is ALSO on Peacock again. Why the hell am I paying for FanDuel when it can't provide all the Wolves games? It's not like it's a cheap service...
What kind of bullshit is this? The Wolves game is only on Peacock? Who the hell has Peacock? I already pay for FanDuel Sports to stream games. I'm not gonna pay for YET ANOTHER pointless streamer for a regular season game. Sigh..... Go Wolves, I guess. I'll check the box score in the morning.
Is it just me, or do hamstring injuries never seem to heal fully? I did have a grade 2 tear mid-summer, but even months later after feeling back to (mostly) full strength, all it took was making a hard cut in ultimate yesterday to wreck it again.
Was reminiscing with the 8yo about when we built a trampoline together this summer. Now it's a leaf repository after all the leaves fell 😅
His struggles with his camper were eerily relatable :-)
Book 28: Where the Deer and the Antelope Play

I generally align with much of Offerman's politics and views, so this was a nice, casual read on some of his adventures around the world with his group of friends/wife. Nothing groundbreaking, but still fun. #booksky

It's like sports leagues actively hate their fans and try to make it as difficult to follow a team as possible.

This felt like a spy thriller ripped out of the late 90s/early 00s. Which means it was... fine. I never felt like our protagonist was ever truly in danger and the "what if MacGyver was an IT dork" got less believable as the film went on. But I was entertained. So... 🤷‍♂️

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.
Honestly, the company would be better off without him. Especially when we have quotes like this combined with his far right belief structure. Little good can come from it.

Book 27: Head On

@scalzi.com follows up Lock In with another solid sci-fi mystery set in a uniquely realized world. Again, I tend to eat up whatever he writes, so loved this sequel. And I'd love to see more novels in this world. Nudge... nudge... #booksky

Can we just make this our usual court design and keep the purple jersey as our primary home jersey? They're easily the best looking versions of each for the Wolves.
AND an accompanying court to match 🥵🥵🥵

Being late to everything means you’re a bad person. A key narcissistic personality trait: letting other people know they and their time are not important compared to whatever you feel like doing at a given moment.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
Dammit. I've gotta add to my project list to dump Ring and replace their devices with something else at our house. I don't have time for this shit.

Didn't make it out yesterday, but the 8yo made a sign for the house!
I really wish they'd finished out this series. It was a cool concept and I dug the art style. #CBCS
Finally got around to watching this. It was good... a tad bit over long and it doesn't really go off the rails until the final 1/4 of the film, but otherwise a great mish-mash of a creature feature and social commentary on youth & hypersexualization.

Thinking back on the summer and how much of a pain in the ass searching for a new tech job was.

I applied to 96 jobs, made it through countless initial interviews, and was a finalist for 3 roles (where they went with the other candidate) before landing my current role.
An interesting smattering of albums I've been listening to over the last month....
Happy end of Win10 support day, for those who celebrate! Who else is gonna be living life on the edge b/c their machine can't upgrade to Win11 and is in no way in need of being trashed to purchase a new computer?
