If it was because of narcotrafficking, why has Trump pardoned narcotraffickers? If it was because Maduro is an authoritarian (he is), why is Trump in love with Putin, nevermind Kim Jong-Un and Viktor Orban?

If anyone is as obsessed with episode 3 of Heated Rivalry as I am then I highly recommend Midnight Texas. François Arnaud is the lead and you get supernatural spooky action.

This makes me so sad. My high school punk band got to play here once as an opener. That is a life moment I will never forget. Also saw many amazing shows here. Too many to count.

I don't understand the surprise in the press over Heated Rivalry & the success it is having. Look back to the Cumberbatch Sherlock or Red, White & Royal Blue.

Wearing a @thematches.bsky.social band shirt to bar trivia tonight. One of the questions was about the Guinness record for things shoved up someone's nose & the answer was matches. I did not guess that. 🤷

Is it just me, or does this look like the A's fan sell logo? Funny to use that in a video about the Vegas Sphere not being super successful. They also clip Brodie in it.
