Anyone else feel as though Episode 8 of “Monster: Ed Gein” was completely unnecessary? It didn’t seem to add anything to the story or the character and just added more inaccuracies.

You know, I wouldn’t vote for Curtis Sliwa as I’m all in on the Mamdani bandwagon, but you can’t knock Sliwa as being anything but authentic. He genuinely cares, IMO. I don’t agree with his ideas, but there’s something old fashioned about being able to disagree while knowing the guy is trying.

No! Don‘t give RFK new ideas! Delete this before the FDA is officially recommending maggot eyes for everyone.

Look at this dumb email ad I got.

I actually really like my boss, but my gift for any boss is my labor and that’s it lol. What narcissistic CEO came up with this nonsense?

After CVS cancelled my vaccine appointment 2 hours before hand, I was able to get one at a nearby Walgreens. Grateful it worked out. Got both Flu and Covid (Moderna).

Part of me hopes that makes RFK Jr. really mad.

I hope the people who designed the interface for #Netsuite are forced to use it for the rest of their lives.

The reasons for the #Yankees loss are plenty, but surely giving up so many extra outs plays a HUGE role. Toronto just had a more explosive and contact driven offense.

The # Yankees have had no real offense today. Schlittler was as good as you can ask for, but the Yankees need a miracle now if they want to beat #Toronto

Veedems @veedems.bsky.social · 12d

Can the #Yankees please stop pitching to Vlad Guerrero Jr? He’s literally the heart of their lineup. Just stop giving him chances.

Veedems @veedems.bsky.social · 14d

The #Yankees lack heart. I know Judge is the captain, but who’s the leader in the dugout? Sure, they can put on impressive offensive performances sometimes, but they just seemed to lack fight all year. Boone getting tossed every few games doesn’t count.

The #Yankees look completely lost at the plate. I know Yesavage is good, but sheesh.

The #Yankees could *try* to not swing at the first pitch. Just a thought.

Not a perfect test but certainly representative of the real world. Really interesting that the Soundcore headphones were the overall favorite.

When it comes to choosing a good pair of headphones, what happens when you take features, design, and brand awareness out of the equation, and leave it all up to the sound?

Spooky table cloth to go with the spooky finger injury.

Started watching “The Paper” and I appreciate the underlying tone of optimism to the show. The world is heavy. It’s nice to enjoy something that exhibits some light.

Boone sending Schlittler out for the 8th is a damn interesting call. Old school guys are going to love it.

And before I could hit the post button, he gets through the inning. Wow!

#yankees #mlb

Veedems @veedems.bsky.social · 17d

Schlittler and Early both made a statement in that first inning. Wow

The real win for the Yankees was getting Boston to use up their bullpen. These guys are going to be tired tomorrow. Cora clearly went all in and it didn’t pay off.

I will NOT be paying $30/month for Gamepass. I’ll be stepping my subscription down to the middle tier. A 50% increase is absurd.

Pete Hegseth gives off the same vibes as the 55 year old guy who wears Ed Hardy clothes and a backwards cap. He desperately wants to be respected but goes about it by acting like a tough 20 year old kid. It’s embarrassing to watch.

Luke Weaver was throwing absolute meatballs. Cruz has no control. Perfect. Way to blow an absolute amazing start by Max Fried

I’m a guy who doesn’t mind analytics in baseball, but the #Yankees choosing to sit Chisolm because of a lefty/lefty matchup seems crazy in a Wild Card series. I get that Rosario is 6 for 9 against Crochet, but taking a 30/30 hitter out of the lineup seems wrong.

The fact that Republican and Democrat billionaires are all freaking out about Zohran Mamdani means that the rest of us are on to something, right?

Given the timing of the episodes, I’d say it’s more along the lines of the writers picking the most obvious plot line for an absolutely corrupt mayor and Adams just happening to beam absolutely corrupt mayor lol
