I was basically just sub-ing for Slow Horses, and ATV subs are cheaper than F1TV premium anyway. Unless I already had ESPN (which I don’t), seems like a good deal?

The first bit of just the crowd noise was actually kind of great.

It was a rough start to Game 4 of the ALCS for Fox

late-2000s #formula1 is crazy. In 1 race (Brazil 2009) A Finn and a German are fighting after crashing into each other, a guy from a new team wins a championship from 5th, Kimi's driving through a fireball in the pitlane after Mclaren botches a pitstop (some things change, some things stay the same)

I remember playing this game for a bit, getting through the training bit, and then once I got into matches, getting my ass comprehensively kicked.

Before Fortnite and Call of Duty ruled the scene, the US Army quietly shaped the early 2000s with a wildly popular, free shooter designed to excite young people about enlisting.

AI has influenced my writing as far as being a serial em-dash user, now I’m reducing my em-dashes so my professors don’t think I’m using gpt tools. Worst timeline.

The way they mic up Lamb’s food in Slow Horses to maximize the gross-factor is both clever and hateful

Glad to hear that ESPN’s audio for the #yankees / #redsox game is still trash.

I'm just leaving this open and playing audio in a separate browser tab. At some point MF Doom is going to start rapping over it.

Today’s edition of “how your body breaks down in your 30s” - I went on a pretty big bike ride on Sunday, no recovery drink, got in the car and drove for 90 min right after, and I’m still paying for it on Tuesday night.

The Tron: Legacy bluray in 4K HDR, on an oled, is /amazing/ #movies #film #av

Nah

I didn’t wake up at 5:45 am to watch #f1 this morning - I woke up at 7 and caught up to an amazing qualifying session and finished it basically live. Do I wake up at 4:45 tomorrow to watch the race?

Pretty comprehensive asskicking for a final

Sean Miedema @seanondemand.bsky.social · Jun 29

It was a good one!

Drops of God is such a banger that no one knows about.

My main question after watching it was that are more people regularly sending each other voice notes than I thought?

Sean Miedema @seanondemand.bsky.social · May 14

It’s a show that could have been an email

Also - extremely stylishly shot, just a kaleidoscope of a movie, especially if you’re using a display where all those colours can pop

At what point were they locked in? When Aurelio lets Viggo know about the car stealing/dog killing and he gives the ”oh”?

Sean Miedema @seanondemand.bsky.social · Mar 14

I know a lot of MBA / business types and have a hard time imagining most of them getting so high on their own supply that they’d think, “I can take these businesses and “transform” them into a high-growth unicorn”. And then some ritzy VC firm doubles down on the same dumb idea. How?!

Sean Miedema @seanondemand.bsky.social · Mar 12

46-43… that is one ugly score. That’s like a Tony Bennett fever dream

Sean Miedema @seanondemand.bsky.social · Mar 10

That’s impossible! They’re on instruments!

“[NHL] reflects poorly on the NBA” - uh, not how reflections work. The NBA is reflecting poorly on the NBA right now.

Reading The Power Broker (or listening to the audiobook, whatever) along with @romanmars.bsky.social and @elliottkalan.bsky.social was a real pleasure and I can’t help but yap about the book with everyone in my life now

Reminded today of @pjvogt.bsky.social’s Search Engine “How am I supposed to find new music now that I'm old and irrelevant?” episode today as I go through all the “when I was in my early 20s” classics
