I can’t believe Vlad Jr turned down a $500M deal with deferred money. Even at the reported PV ($~425M) at what I’m assuming is 12 years, that’s still an insane deal for him to pass up on. Call me crazy but I wouldn’t touch that contract with a 10 foot pole

Rewatched Black Christmas in honor of Michelle Trachtenburg as it’s my favorite movie of hers. She’s great in this and I totally forgot it also had Katie Cassidy, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Kristin Cloke in it. What a cast. RIP Michelle

Nailed it back in August. So thrilled for Sabrina Carpenter winning the Pop Vocal Album of the Year Grammy! She truly deserves it

I could watch Sabrina Carpenter act and sing forever and never get tired of it. She’s truly a natural

‘Perverts’ by Ethel Cain is like a found footage horror movie and I mean that in the absolute best way. The vibe, the esthetic, everything about it. I loved it, definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but can’t wait to hear people bitch about how it doesn’t sound like “American Teenager”

I wonder if teams look at Cole Winn (the data supplied by @tjstats.nesti.co and MLB Savant) and still see a starter here. He’s only 25 and has some really interesting traits (Great extension, doesn’t walk a lot of guys, has plus velo and his pitches minus SI are near average according to tjStuff+)

I forgot to post these here but these were my Top-20 Movies and Albums of 2024

Lots of thoughts but 2024 was a fantastic year for horror movies and music in general. Can’t wait to see what 2025 brings

Coming into 2024, I wanted to get back to where I used to be with reading so I set myself up with a goal; match the number of books I read with the avg number of concerts & movies I go see a year. That was the birth of the 20/20/20 club. I cut it kind of close with books but I accomplished it 🎉

A Nonsense Christmas is a wonderfully sweet and massively hilarious time. Sabrina Carpenter runs circles around everyone whether it’s a skit or song and doesn’t just lean into vintage esthetics, it truly feels like she is hosting an old school Christmas special and it rules!

Imagine if Sabrina has Olivia Rodrigo on ‘A Nonsense Christmas’ tonight as a surprise guest. That would be a brilliant surprise and killer duet between the two

Happy Spotify Wrapped day to those who celebrate 🎉

That is the most Bears way to lose a game ever lol I’m at a loss how they blew that last thirty seconds

It doesn’t have an “official series title” (I call it the Ernest Cunningham series) but the three books in it so far (Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone, Everyone on this Train is a Suspect & Everyone this Christmas has a Secret) are all utterly fantastic & super fun reads….

Not one normally to rant about Ticketmaster because it’s not worth it but this time was absolutely outrageous, very fishy from go & needs to be said. The whole rollout of Tate McRae shows (at least Chicago’s) has been such bullshit. None of the presales other than Amex worked & the general sale…
