It's the ass series in Seattle

eject him, this is his fault

he’s killing the vibe

You better be 1.000 when your team scores more than the other team in a game 🙃

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Why are they playing Pink when cutting to commercials?! She's from Philadelphia!

Just remembered the "[Thing] or Cake?" phenomenon from several years ago?

I feel like it could've trained us all well for the genAI we're drowning in now, but it didn't do that.

I'll see an animal picture that says, "Is this a cat or a dog?" or something, and my brain just goes, "I think it's AI!"

I feel like this is the first "plan" I've heard re: QB for next season.

The yellow sweaters will continue until morale improves.

That's how you know 3PO and R2 are soulmates (inasmuch as droids have souls)

TIL that common pop culture mediums like *checks notes* superheroes, video games, and Star Wars didn't exist before the instant internet era, I guess?

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

For some reason, I've always admired his arms in that Frank N Furter getup.

Yep, that's the same thing I'm thinking.

Do we think she's actually going to be there next year?

Like, I know they're going to try to force (no pun intended) every living cast member to be there for the 50th. But I feel like if anyone's going to find a way to get out of it, it's her. Even more so than Harrison Ford at this point lol

Yeah, the Dr. Doom end credit scene in First Steps was obviously a "Here's Doomy!" tease to show he's coming to the MCU soon.

I forgot about a lot of the other ones you mentioned. But, like you said, some of them are in "Do you really NEED it?" territory. So it makes sense that they're forgettable.

There is no North Shore, only NFL Draft Stage.

I mean, like, are they all just building to Doomsday?

Brett Goldstein's Hercules end credit in Love & Thunder comes to my mind first, and I don't think they're ever going to do anything with it.

Have any of the end credit scenes not directly related to the movie they were in actually resolved yet?

I can't recall seeing one setup that has paid off yet and I'll admit I've watched most, but by no means all, of the post-Endgame MCU shows and movies.

13-9 Pirates

Good record.

#HoistTheCone

I could get behind no one wearing #66 too.

I remember seeing people on Twitter a few years ago saying the Pirates and Penguins both have #21 retired, so the Steelers just shouldn't give it out as a rule of thumb because it's weird to see a current player wearing a black and gold #21 jersey.

When Reese Witherspoon is publicly championing something in tech as "the future of the film industry" that's the sign that the thing is on its last legs.

A grid photo of 16 different characters all played by the legend Tim Curry.

Tim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.

Happy 80th birthday, Tim Curry.

We bring Joe out for the (un)honorary first pitch, and Arrieta and Coghlan can be the special base changers after the 3rd and 6th innings lol

MUST-WIN PIRATES GAME SUNDAY

Well, again, if we just invite the whole 2015 Cubs roster, it would only make sense that we invite Joe too.

Welp...

PNC Park scoreboard fun fact at the start of the game was that the Pens are 3-0 when Ryan O'Hearn hits a home run. And then he hit another. So let's see what happens next.

#LetsGoPens

It's the Joe Maddon coaching tree down there.

The Pirates are pirating (derogatory)
