who's he arguing with, ChatGPT?

good, but now what.... the fact that this expires on No King's Day 2 does not strike me as a positive sign

is that the Superstore actress?

she realized much earlier than most of us that chimps are much less frustrating to hang out with than humans

Farewell to the legendary Jane Goodall. I was jealous of high school students here (and all over) getting to meet her through the Roots and Shoots program.

Jane Goodall, our ambassador to the Chimpanzee world.

Listen to me accidentally cut off Jacob twice in a row! I was happy to join these guys doing what they do best and help talk about a book destined to eclipse Spider-Man. (still waiting, Larry)

We talk w/ Jason Farrell about John Targitt: a comics clone made of DNA of Frank Bullitt, Harry Callahan, & Paul Kersey (Bronson in Death Wish). He's an FBI agent who wages an all-out war on crime after his wife & daughter are caught in the crossfire of syndicate violence.

today?! Oh, shit. I'm spoilt for choice lately since I like Gen V, Peacemaker and Only Murders (plus have been going through Orphan Black, which I'm one episode away from finishing)

@neverwanderer.bsky.social Hades 2 comes out of EA tomorrow. I loved the first one (Supergiant don't miss) and I'm excited to delve into this one. Reviews are sterling.

We talked w/ Jared from Swords & Scrolls about Larry Hama's origin for a different kind of 'barbarian.' Far from a #Conan clone, Wulf the Barbarian was a classy beginning to what should have been a long adventure, but, #AtlasSeaboard was not long for the publishing world.

I'm kinda surprised I haven't heard talk about a "curse" given that fact...

Reid is a well above average coach, so that helps a lot ;)

Jason Farrell @ghostofjason.bsky.social · Sep 6

I saw a stat the other day that blew my mind... apparently the Giants haven't had a 30 home run hitter for like 20 years? That's amazing. (it was brought up when Devers hit #30, though only half of them have come for the Giants)

Jason Farrell @ghostofjason.bsky.social · Sep 6

Mahomes has been a fully average QB for multiple seasons now and yet he rarely loses. Kinda drives me nuts. Average again tonight, and they lose. Hope that continues. (and to the famously slow starting Chargers!)

customers get some....interesting ideas. At a software store I worked at in the '90s, we had 2 packs for $10. I had people who would happily pay $10 for one of the games, but since there were 2 and they already had the other one, they wouldn't buy it.

I love (and watch) too much TV to settle on a top 4 of my own, but put in The Leftovers for Sopranos and I'd be comfortable claiming that list

Jason Farrell @ghostofjason.bsky.social · Aug 19

we sure do love our crime 😅

what are those 4 shows, out of curiosity? If The Sopranos is one on your list, I agree (I like it, but think it's way overrated)
The Bear is good. One of my favorite things about it is that it comes out every year like clockwork
