Was gonna be a filmmaker when I grew up: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6199555/. Did a bunch of theater stuff, too. But plans changed, choices were made. Now, I'm a recluse with a cat & a garden. Sometimes I ramble on about stuff.

Bichette singing with the Mets is going to make my mom so happy. She hates him so much. Like, spends every Jays game yelling at the TV kind of hate.

Watching Heated Rivalry take over the world got me thinking about the Canadian TV industry. Our two most popular contributions in the past few years have been Schitt's Creek and HR. They have two things in common: queer joy and François Arnaud. Make of that what you will, TV industry.

There's the show I know and love. This episode was one of their best in a long (in TV time) while, and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Everything is terrible, but at least there's a new episode of 9-1-1 tonight. No idea what they have planned for the rest of the season but it's gotta be better than their little space adventure.
And if they try to kill off Hen, I will riot.

I'm thinking about baseball today, as one does on a cold December day. Since John Schneider doesn't think Davis Schneider can play vs right-handed pitchers (wtf?), can the Jays trade him to the Rangers? Davis, not John. That would really help me out. (sorry, Ernie)

Somehow I missed this. Guess I'm cheering for the Rangers next season, and begrudgingly the Blue Jays.
It's weird. In football, I'm loyal to a team (Pats), but in baseball, I'm loyal to players. Is this anything? Probably, but I can't be bothered to figure it out.

This is a great thread about the well-meaning but delusional reactions to the show Heated Rivalry.
Again, I truly *loved* this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry, but IT IS A WISH FULFILLMENT ROMANCE. The success of a gay hockey romance TV show, largely watched by people who are neither hockey players nor hockey fans, is not “proof that the world is ready and all we would do is love you”
