You do it as CHUD in case someone else is scanning for it and don’t know you counted the period.

This is what social media was *supposed* to be for: expert deep dives. And porn, of course.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Eight years ago, Americans placed around $5 billion in sports bets. By 2028, we’ll have bet — and lost — a trillion dollars since 2018.

“Guys bond over sports bets, not sports, now,” says an addictions counselor working with sports bettors.

Episode 2 is fun. The show is VERY NBC 2010s coded, which isn’t a bad thing. With keep watching.

Okay, taking that new show on Apple, The Last Frontier, for a swim.

ConAir but Alaska and with Jason Clarke and Dominic Cooper, from the creator of The Blacklist.

I mean, this SHOULD be right up my alley.

We shall see.

The opening theme doesn’t match the tone of this show AT ALL.

That’s said, Bokenkamp still rocks the needledrops.

Sam “Extraction” Hargrave directed this pilot? That’s explains the action blocking.

A prison related show should NOT have a character named Scofield. That’s just cruel to me as a big ole Prison Break fan.

In the NBC version of this opening, they would have found the plane empty to set up a procedural engine. But this is the most broadcast TV feeling streaming show I’ve ever seen so far (The Pitt is broadcast DNA but not broadcast feeling).

It would seem the Korean BBQ spot that took of the neighborhood bar that have my favorite thick patty burger will be opening soon. Aiming for end of the month, it seems. Will be curious to check it out. I don’t have a neighborhood KBBQ go to yet. The one I know best is on the other side of the hill.
