Every bit of this mess that we’re currently enduring is because rich people need more money & they dgaf if you’re hungry or homeless or dead in order for them to get more money

Discogs is broken again. That website is a shell of what it was 2 years ago. A real shame.

I have no problem shutting off a movie that I'm not enjoying.

Cory Robert @the3rdcory.bsky.social · 1d

Eddington was a struggle. I got about 1/2 way through before shutting it off. Miserable plot. Miserable characters. No incentive to finish the movie.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

Very few people could even name 5 ufc fighters. The most famous ufc star is the fat owner who doesn't even fight.

It makes more sense if you accept that you were wrong about him the whole time.

I got to pet a 15 week old puppy. Day made.

I'm mostly surprised that Rampage hasn't tried to turn this into a promotional opportunity for himself. Wanderlei is gonna need another opponent.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

My 13 yo guitar student finally told me what music he listens to. Radiohead. This is a major breakthrough.

I've always looked at drummers like they're skilled labourers. You call them when there's a job to do. They usually own a truck.

Cory Robert @the3rdcory.bsky.social · 4d

One thing about drummers is they're always replaceable. The public might complain but once the band starts playing they don't care anymore. Very few exceptions.

I love that places are not allowing ICE to use their bathrooms. They can shit their pants to be more like their Pedof*le in Chief.

My friend’s dad Malcolm Ducker, former RAF pilot, dad & grandad, is among those still being held in a maximum security Israeli prison for the crime of trying to bring food & medicine to Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla. Read: www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-and-...
