Dark times out there. I'm gonna spend a bit less time on the interwebs, more time with my feet planted. Be good to each other. Had a kid to explain the dad bod. Worried about her future.

I’m a small account no one really follows and I can’t believe I have to say this but if you come into my mentions telling me I should legitimise nazis or engage in good faith debates with nazis or make bad faith arguments that maybe nazis have a point it’s just an instant block.

A ★★½ review of Predator: Badlands (2025)

It’s very well done but I don’t know that I wanted a sympathetic predator or slapstick on my predator. Hard to care about any of it.

Going to watch Prey while I get ready for Predator in a couple of hours.

My Pigskin Is Kosher @jgersn.bsky.social · 23h

Just bought a ticket to see Predator. Am I going by myself at 11pm because my wife and friends refuse to join me? Yes. Why?

For the fourth or fifth month in a row, AT&T has gotten my wireless bill wrong. call them, told it's a long wait, but they'll call back--but they call back from the wrong department, connect me to a void. Go to the website, can't load it, navigate it, or change settings. What a delight.

Some yeasted dinner rolls to go along with dinner--really good for the 7YO to help out, she loves measuring and using the mixer and then kneading by hand 🍽️

Let's make some pot roast. I bought a big roast because I'm doing a meal train, but then we invited our friends over for dinner tonight so I may be making another one tomorrow. This is an easy recipe, brown the meat, add beef stock & some Lipton's onion dip, and let it slow cook in the oven 🍽️

bagged carrots, bagged chuck roast, bagged yellow potatoes, a jar of flour, some b2b beef bouillon and various other things on a kitchen counter.

Great piece about the person who has the most, imo, consistent authorial artistic vision that manages to shine in his comic book properties. The rare popcorn movies that have something to say—affirmative and inspiring rather than just going dark and dour to be “adult”

Matt Zoller Seitz @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social · 6d

I wrote a piece on the work of writer and director James Gunn, who is engaged in a pretty incredible ongoing enterprise that despises bigotry and authoritarianism and reaffirms patriotism for progressives. www.vulture.com/article/jame...

James Gunn’s American Project

He is few critics’ idea of a respectable auteur, but his work is more consistently progressive than any other comic-book material today.

A ★★★½ review of Frankenstein (2025)

That’s a lot of movie.

Love this show. Started watching for the fight choreography but it’s one of the best pieces of entertainment I’ve ever seen about class and power. So much smarter than the pulpy Banshee

Mo Ryan @moryan.bsky.social · 8d

Another property on point for this moment is Warrior (HBOMax), great action drama that is ALSO about the pitting of working classes of all races against each other by 19th cent gilded age plutocrats, plus riots & racism that led to Chinese Exclusion Act. Historically whipsmart & hugely relevant IMO

once again watching marty's GANGS OF NEW YORK, a movie whose analysis of "america for americans" reactionary politics has only grown more cogent every year since 2002

Maybe it means they are mirror images I’m not describing it well.

My Pigskin Is Kosher @jgersn.bsky.social · 8d

Also the place settings are not mirror images they’re just the same—so water is on left on one side and right on the other.

I’m glad the baseball is bringing so much joy to so many. I, for one, was stuck at the longest Braves game in history which was before the advent of uber and did you know they stopped serving beer a full 12 innings before the game ended? That’s more than a whole game! Anyway I haven’t watched since.

My Pigskin Is Kosher @jgersn.bsky.social · 11d

Been years since I’ve watched this show and it is definitely incredible. How incredible? I had no idea who you were talking about until I looked up the episode and It all flooded back. She was fantastic in it. The way she seemed resigned to her fate. Just going in out of habit at night. What a show

Have a 5 day business conference starting tomorrow--flight leaves at 1:30. My very anxious wife can not understand why I'm not packing now, and am instead packing tomorrow morning after school drop off but before she drives me to the airport.

In line at grocery store and was gonna buy the little one a magazine of puzzles and facts tied to one of her (pbs?) shows and it’s 15 bucks for a throwaway magazine. What?!

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."
