Become a worrying trend the frequency of which my Mum is sending me videos her friends have sent to her asking me if they're real or not. Almost all obvious AI to my eyes, but it really seems great swathes of people beyond age 50 just have absolutely no idea how to tell if a video is real anymore.

What a character Artie Bucco is huh. Who else could be written to go to a mobster's house, beat him up on his own porch, and the audience reaction still be "what a fucking loser that guy is".
TV genius.

Today I learned that there's a mini-Game Pass type deal tied into your Prime membership? You can just play that Indiana Jones game for free. Am I just drastically unaware, or do they do a truly terrible job of advertising that?

The way they talk about Darnell Washington is the same way they talk about Jack Reacher.

Late to it, but that Penguin show was so much better than any show called "The Penguin" should have any right to be. Cristin Milioti, what a performance.

Joe Abercrombie's The Heroes is the best book I've read in a long while. Sheer mastery of pacing and dialogue, and the most compelling depiction of a fictional battle I've ever seen put to paper.

Josh Allen has scored on you every time he's had the ball in the half, and you're giving the ball back to him
OR
You give the ball to Derrick Henry or Lamar and if they get 2.5 yards you win the game

Don't think I've ever watched a film with as great a variance in acting quality as I have with Almost Famous. Good film that could have been great without some stinker performances.

Getting back to a Sopranos rewatch after a long break. "Did I learn nothing from Richie Aprile, nip it in the bud" is such a good line and delivery. Gandolfini was special man.

Bluesky being all like "UK government needs us to verify you're over 18 to be able to use DMs on here", sure, whatever, what does this involve?
Hold phone camera up to your face, it goes "yeah you look old as fuck" and then it's done. Almost offended.

I wish I could still bet on the G1 like the good ol' days of the King of Sports. Would love to lump on Takeshita, I imagine I'd get good odds.

90% of the time you're watching the Shield it's a serious time, then there's the 10% where a Russian guy is wiggling around in a chair with explosives strapped to it because Vic said "make it look real" and it comedically explodes. What a show.

Man, worked for the live crowd, but I really didn't like that Bucks-Ospreay/Swerve match. One of the more disappointing matches I've seen in recent times.
