Throwback to the nearly-missed Easter egg that ensured I have shopped at this grocery store ever since.

Of all the unbelievable hijinx that goes on in Home Alone, clearly the most ridiculously unbelievable thing in the whole movie is - after the chaos of the morning of departure and the evening before - that the kitchen would be this clean and well-staged.
The impossibly clean kitchen of the MacAllister home. 15 people slept in and 14 of them rushed in absolute chaos to get out of the house and to the airport. I call shenanigans.

I just watched Secret Base's doc on Dave Stieb. I grew up watching him pitch, but never really appreciated how incredible he was. And how incredibly unlucky he was.
Losing back-to-back no-nos with 1 strike to go was heartbreaking, but seeing the odds illustrated shows just how mind-boggling it was.
The odds of losing a no-hitter with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the bottom of the ninth inning on back-to-back games is 1 in 241,190,218. At the bottom of that skyscraper is a miniscule red dot that is Dave Stieb. Those red blocks are his lost no-hitters in the late stages of a game. There was still more to come.

I urge drivers to please learn what this sign means.
And yes, it does, in fact, apply to you.

<Starts slapping the sign vigourously with both hands>
Screenshot of a quote post reading "<Taps the sign>". Original post reads: "An awfule person was murdered. Murder is wrong, all stop. The RWNJs, predictably, are rallying for war. All the rhetoric wil be slung out to demonize the left. In the days ahead, if it's found the killing wasn't political, but was personal, I guarantee you there won't be a single retraction."

Really? Is it my wishful thinking? Koala-based pareidolia?
Or maybe I'm ascending? Time has no meaning! I'm everywhere and nowhere! I can use this as an excuse to skip work meetings!
The lower-right corner of the Star Trek title sequence, shown prior to episodes in all modern Star Trek series, shown twice. The cosmic Koala (outlined in red on the right half) - on whose back the universe is balanced - from Lower Decks episode "Moist Vessel" is formed in the stellar dust, still smiling, still begging us to wonder what he knows.

Another season of #StarTrekSNW has completed, and it's sad to be without new Trek for who-knows-how-long.
But, I'm still glad that a silly joke from a cartoon has kept it's spot in the intro for several years now.

I'm not imagining it, right?

Grey Elephant, Grey Elephant
What do you see?
Excerpt from an updated version of the classic children's book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear". This one is about sweet justice. Grey Elephant, Grey Elephant, what do you see? I see a hunter looking at me. I see the whites of his eyes. I see the barrel of his gun. I see the coldness of his stare. I hear the pounding as I charge. I feel the bush give way. I smell the fear in his heart. I hear him cry when he realises what's coming. I feel the warmth as my tusk pierces his gut. I see his limp form tossed asunder. I feel his ooze as I stamp his pasty white flesh into a freaking bloody mess and trumpet to the heavens that I will vanquish mine enemy and those who dare folloow. I taste sweet justice.

Watching the #StrangeNewWorld episode "Shuttle to Kenfori", I know a lot of homage was paid to the George Romero zombie flicks, but there was one association I couldn't help but make as soon as I heard the line.

Seeing some of the names on the Starfleet Academy screen was neat, but if they want the show to be believable, they may want to reconsider the rank on Harry Kim. It took an alternate universe for him to be a Lieutenant, and this has him as an Admiral?

Six shots from Casion Royale. 1) Le Chiffre looks ahead cunningly, as if he has plans to serve Kyiv on a platter to his favourite tyrant. Caption: "Vance: You don't have the cards, Mr Zelenskyy" 2) Le Chiffre has a full house 3) Le Chiffre looks pleased, like he has just done something to make Putin wet his pants with glee. 4) Bond looks stern. Caption: "Zelenskyy: Operation Spiderweb" 5) Bond has a straight flush 6) Le Chiffre looks shocked and despondent. It would be sad if he weren't such a terrible person. Wait, am I talking about Le Chiffre or JD Vance? Ah, whatever...
