Fuck them. I'm now reinvested in this postseason and gonna cherish each one of their losses. Dodgers in 4.

Jared Leto starring would suck but you know what, if the script and story gets about 5% of the budget and Tron: Ares had a $180M budget, that's about $9 Million for writing.

For that kind of money I would happily write a series of Jared Leto flops.

We Don't Play Baseball Here

Sounds like the title of a short story that takes place in The Black Phone's afterlife.

Also, it's implied in the first film their mom had a dark gift of psychic dreams that Gwen (girl on right) inherited.

Let's see some more of that. Her mom dealing with all that. She's deceased in the first film but it'd be cool if Gwen learns to communicate with her in the next one. We'll see.

With the Cubs' season loss, The Black Phone is my comfort movie tonight.

Some new thoughts: hope the Blumhouse gods give us a Grabber prequel one day . If Grabber is Ethan Hawke's age, he'd be born around 1927ish which could be fun.

Maya Hawke can play his mom then or his big sis in the 40s/50s

How I hope the rest of the postseason plays out:

Blue Jays beat the Mariners,
Dodgers beat the Brewers,
Blue Jays beat the Dodgers.

I need a The Black Phone novelization. Movie novelization and include the original Joe Hill short story at the end.

If I infiltrated a Boomer FB group, "hey, remember when we danced naked at Woodstock, hated Nixon and stopped the Vietnam war?"

I had a friend who “infiltrated” a boomer Facebook group and told me that a lot of them were under the impression it means “anti-first amendment”

I realize I'm missing 2003. It's a work in progress.

Sort it by winning percentage and 2025 was not bad.

Tied for 2nd best postseason behind the World Series-winning 2016 team.

Working on a little spreadsheet tracking the Wrigley Cubs' postseason adventures.

They've been doing this since 1870 but moved to Wrigley in 1914 so only tracking that for now.

The red years are the rows I'm done with, white I still need to work on or double-check

More “greatness” for PA from Herr Trump, backed by the complicit silence of Herr McCormick.

The Department of Energy has listed the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh area hydrogen hubs as projects targeted for termination. Together, they could lose $1.7 billion dollars in federal funding.

Trump administration could pull funding for Philadelphia, Pittsburgh hydrogen hubs

The Philly region’s MACH2 hydrogen hub promises to produce hydrogen fuel using renewable sources. The ARCH2, based in western Pennsylvania, would use fossil fuels.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
