The number of lives lost or irreversibly harmed as a result of this reckless decision is going to be devastating.

Sounds familiar...

Senator Cory Booker puts his hand on his heart in appreciation as the Senate applauds for him for having just broken Strom Thurmond's 24-hour-plus record for the longest speech in the US Senate.

Welcome to my Substack! Plus, my predictions for the 2025 MLB season Who will win AL MVP? Who WON'T win NL Rookie of the Year? What the heck are the Astros doing?

Happy Opening Day! Check out my predictions for the 2025 season on my Substack, free for all to subscribe.

This is spineless. The @democrats.org are in desperate need of new, younger leadership. Schumer had the chance to be a true leader here and has instead become a Trump enabler. Shame on him. Things feel so hopeless at the moment.

Southwest Airlines just took away the only reason to fly Southwest Airlines. Geniuses.

I have noticed significant improvement in my mental health since making the switch to @bsky.app. Discourse is passionate and engaging, but also respectful. There are accounts and people you can actually trust. Such a breath of fresh air! #mentalhealth

With respect, there are a lot of people who love the prequels and other stuff! Star Wars is unique from Marvel, DC, and Trek because of its generational continuity and lack of reboots. That’s cool! Instead, it’s time to pick a new era in the timeline with brand new characters and tell fresh stories.

Hockey is the greatest sport in the world! #4Nations #NHL

Excellent reporting by @theathletic.bsky.social about the evolution of drinking, partying, and health in the NHL.

I believe this shift in thinking is a good thing for the future of professional sports and the wellness of the next generation of athletes. It is important to discuss these topics!

Dune: Part 2 is one of the best films of the last 20 years and deserves way more nominations from The Academy! Recency bias and blockbuster bias at its finest. Denis Villeneuve, Austin Butler, Rebecca Ferguson, and Timothée Chalamet all should be nominated in their respective categories! #filmsky 🎬

Shrinking is the best show on TV right now! So many real themes everyone can relate to and Harrison Ford + Jason Segel are a dynamite duo! Stop what you’re doing and watch it now. #Shrinking #AppleTV

Dune: Part 2, The Wild Robot, and Anora are my top-3 favorite films of 2024. What are yours? 🎬 #filmsky

Like the prequels for many, the sequel films have grown on me tremendously over the years. Couldn’t be more excited for The Mandalorian & Grogu. Nothing beats Star Wars on the big screen!

Really disappointing. I also think FC 25 and NBA 2k do not deserve nominations over MLB The Show and NHL 25.

The vibes on #BlueSky right now are very reminiscent of the OG days on that other app. It feels like the online community we used to have. Exciting times ahead!

Nobody Wants This: A Charming, Hilarious RomCom About Modern Relationships This tale of a Rabbi and atheist sex podcaster who fall in love is witty, sharp, and very relatable. It is the best RomCom of the year.

Nobody Wants This is real, witty, and hilarious. I highly recommend the new Netflix show starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody! 🎬 #filmsky

Looks like Arthur Morgan iykyk

Definitely one of the best of the year!

The Wild Robot: A Beautiful Triumph About Survival, Acceptance, and Parenthood Stunning animation, flawless voice-acting, and the best score of the year makes The Wild Robot the front-runner for Best Animated Feature Film at the Academy Awards.

Stunning animation, flawless voice-acting, and the best score of the year. The Wild Robot is a story about fitting in, survival, parenthood, and love. Read my full review now! 🎬 #filmsky

Two breathtaking performances by Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh combine with strong nonlinear screenwriting to create a story that feels incredibly authentic and human. I scored it 4.5 out of 5.

We Live in Time: An authentically human story about loss and cancer Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh will put you in your feels.

My review and discussion of We Live in Time, starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh. I really enjoyed this one! 🎬 #filmsky

Staying Mindful During Election Season My favorite techniques and tricks for keeping a clear head and reducing stress.

Election day is exactly 2 weeks away! Yup, you heard that right. If you’re feeling nervous, stressed, anxious, or any combination of that, you’re not alone. I wrote about the ways I stay mindful during this crazy time. #MentalHealth #Election

Movie season is here and I could not be more excited! Here are the most anticipated films coming out over the next few months 🎬 #filmsky:
- Here
- Gladiator II
- Blitz
- Wicked
- A Complete Unknown

Thought Hit Man was fantastic! Few RomComs that are better (if you wan't to classify it as one)

Does Trump have momentum? And what does “momentum” mean in the context of an election forecast?

For all of you like myself who find this time of year extremely stressful, Nate Silver makes a great point here. He is a good source of reliable polling data. Stay calm and vote! 🗳️

Great selection!

Great list! Still need to watch The Substance!
