Definitely the most exciting baseball game I’ve ever watched on my phone while also playing in my Tuesday night pinball league. #RaysUp

The fact that this didn't end as a scorigami was a waste of a "blocked extra point kick being returned to the opposite end zone" situation.

Seems like every Northwestern football game is on Peacock. I guess that's because they assume Northwestern alumni can all afford the subscription.

Baseball playoff chili! #RaysUp

Sure, it's been 78 years since the Guardians last won the World Series, but the Rays have NEVER won the World Series, which means it's been INFINITE years, which is more than 78, so obviously the Rays deserve it more. #RaysUp

In the past two nights, Tampa Bay sports teams have caused Yankees fans to look sad, and caused Jerry Jones to look sad. A successful 48 hours!

@jordanmorris.bsky.social @jessethorn.bsky.social Don't worry, Guy Fieri's will be in the new Burbank airport terminal (opposite Gate 7).

Wow, I knew he could sing, but I didn’t know he could judge, too!

(I realize he's probably been a guest judge on some singing competition show that I didn't watch.)

The department, or the chemical reaction?

The movie theater where I saw TRON is now a church (I realize this is a fairly common theater reuse).

The movie theater where I saw FORREST GUMP is now a Noodles and Company, but still has the theater’s sign

I also want to note that the Wilshire/La Cienega number got down to “<1 min” and then changed to “21 min.” Good thing I’m going to North Hollywood!

Job interview invitations sent from "job job" are definitely not a scam, sure.

@travelswithbrindle.bsky.social Getting my hair cut at Supercuts in Studio City, CA - Sparks came up in conversation and the stylist said she used to cut Ron’s hair.

And she said a friend of hers is in the documentary because she dated Russell in the ‘80s.

I’ve got about two-thirds of the red-band WILD HORSE NINE trailer memorized. If I see it a few more times (which I probably will, given how many movies I see and how often it runs), I’ll probably have it all down pat. What are we, hippies now?

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)

This sounds like the tagline for a Connie Willis time-travel novel.

When FTX made a 5-year deal in 2021 to put ad patches on MLB umpire uniforms, I replied to @uniwatching.bsky.social on Twitter to predict that it wouldn't make it the full 5 years, and I heard about it from a few cryptobros. The deal lasted about 17 months: frontofficesports.com/youre-out-ml...

I just found out that the 2017-18 Canadian comedy series NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW will be available on Disney+/Hulu beginning this Friday (along with the follow-up movie that came out earlier this year, NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE). Very highly recommended.

When I worked as a closed-captioner, I captioned a LOT of soap episode, mostly Days of Our Lives. They were relatively easy to deal with because they just used scrolling captions (quicker and cheaper for them than the "pop-on" variety). 1/2

I used to work on a soap opera as an AD (Frank Valentini, the current EP of GENERAL HOSPITAL was my boss) and it's really delightful seeing people discover how fun these shows can be through the Oliver cameo

7 July

Over 20 years later, I still remember how we captioned the open and bumper on Days: LIKE SANDS THROUGH THE HOURGLASS, SO ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES. WE WILL RETURN FOR THE SECOND HALF OF "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" IN JUST A MOMENT. 2/2

I promise, finding a 1976 phone book in a time capsule was not necessary for this fact to be "revealed." Area code 407 was created in 1988. Ask a local Gen-Xer what their phone number was when they were a kid!

Groovy.

If you liked the picture I posted yesterday of me outside the #MST3K studio, here's another 1996 photo, this one of me at a slightly less well-known tourist attraction.

When my youngest daughter was five, she came to believe that only people who lived in the city they were born in could understand fear. In our family, only she was born in St Paul. So we’d all be quietly driving around together and she’d suddenly bellow, "NONE OF YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND FEAR!"
