Please retract this immediately. Jim and his wife Dana will be celebrating their 33rd wedding anniversary this year and he does not have an ex.

Gotta hand it to them.

I think Colin Ferrell is one of those actors who I've liked everything he's been in.

When I coached my boys in rec soccer, I mapped out the lineups and sub patterns ahead of time, because it's too hard during the games. I'd have my assistant use the sheet and run a timer. Of course, that was often difficult too, because invariably a kid or two wouldn't show or would show up late. I ...

Sure, I get that. It wasn't hard to decipher. The international angle is an interesting part of it. But what I'm talking about is a room full of highly-paid (maybe?) writers who have a job writing for an extremely popular show. And they have to write shit like that. And while that may have been a dr...

I like the idea, but I hate Virginia being in the Northeast. They have little connection to most of those schools (other than VT, and MD. Maybe WVU).

Honestly, she could have crawled out. That's not exactly how rip tides work.

Of course. But it was also a blowjob joke in AD.

Didn't we have an 80s v 90s thread at some point? Or I am hallucinating that? Not sure if this is pro or con. Both. https://www.twitter.com/Decker6/status/1291184104235397120 I'm very curious about the writers' room on shows like that. How does that work? Are they hacks? Are they embittered old wri...

I think the question mark bothers me more than the blowjob joke.

Several Rivians and a Polestar in our neighborhood. We are going to get an electric SUV this year, but those Rivians are pricey! Looking more likely we get a Hyundai Ionic 5 or a Kia. Nice looking, highly rated, less expensive electrics. I was all set to get either the Ionic or the Kia until I look...

Well, I bought mine used and I try not to think about Elon too much when I drive it. There were lots of lots good engineers who really deserve the credit that everyone loves to give him. And for the most part, he built those things before he took that crazy right-turn a few years ago.

I had to drop my Model Y at the Tesla service center this weekend (the battery suddenly stopped charging). The first vehicle I saw in their shop being worked on was a Cyber Truck. Thing couldn't have been on the road for long before that.

Jesus, that's awful. "I'll have nothing." What a toddler.

Holy shit, Cole Palmer. Thank you, City! And with his 4th goal, he's now tied with Haaland for first in the PL! Nobody would have guessed that anyone on Chelsea would be challenging for that. He's also one assist shy of tying the league lead there as well. Hell of a season for the Brit-looking lad!

Holy shit, Cole Palmer. Thank you, City!

Anyone else suddenly beset by a variety of MAGA and other conservative ads? It just started within the last week. Before that, it was mostly Liver King, various stupid dropship products, and dumb phone games (I actually still get these). My favorites are the ads for games with reader's notes that s...

Woohoo! I figured he's got the greenest light of all, no matter how off he is on any given night.

Steph Curry?

The wife and I just watched that movie Saturday night. I enjoyed it as well. It was extremely Guy Ritchie.

Jeez, just looked at the leader board. What happened to Tiger?

Is there a more frustrating experience in modern life than trying to log into a site and it tells you the password is wrong. So you click Forgot Password, have it send you code, you type in the code, and then it prompts you for a new password. You enter a new password and it then says OK, log in now...

Great question. And I agree that increasing the size of the court - and possibly the lane - would help. It's kind of wild to think about the size of players today compared to when the court size was decided. Obviously, there are logistical issues with increasing the size of courts at some older gym...

This'll make you think.

I'm trying to figure out where the 4th foot is. And the logistics of two sets of functioning genitals. Did he pee out of both? Did both drain the same bladder? I guess his brain was able to figure out how to control all of that?

From the outside, it seems like a pretty smart hire. BYU finished with a better rating than Kentucky this year. Guess which team had better talent? And BYU plays that ultra-modern offense of a ton of threes and layups. I think they were #4 in the country in the % of their shots from the 3pt line. I...

That's not the largest chest of drawers! (I don't think) I didn't realize there were two options in High Point.

I couldn't love Alien or Aliens much more. They're both brilliant movies. But I haven't really liked a movie in the series since. Alien 3 was a huge disappointment. Prometheus was better, but still wasn't that good. It certainly didn't live up to the hype. I hope they get this one right. I'm curious...

I don't know my most quoted movie line ever, but that's in contention. I've seen the whole movie, but never in sequential order. There's one scene where they start a scene in the huddle on the face of a Vietnamese guy I grew up with who was in extra in the movie as an OL. I hope he didn't get typec...

They certainly had at least one elite athlete. That putback dunk in the second half was one of the best I've ever seen.

It was a bit of a roster problem at Chelsea. The team was up and down during his time, with a number of different managers. But the one position they constantly had surplus in was wingers. It was hard for any player to get consistent minutes there. That said, I think Chelsea should have played him m...

I've been to the World's Largest Chest of Drawers many times. It's the facade of a huge furniture mall. NC in general and High Point in specific used to be the center of the US furniture manufacturing. I don't think that's really been true for decades now, but I think several furniture companies sti...

Purdue is playing really well. And still losing. Not a great sign.

Went out on the beach to watch it. We got to about 75% here. It was a mostly cloudless sky, and honestly, if you didn't know it was an eclipse, you probably wouldn't have been able to tell without the special glasses. It was a bit darker than a full sun day, but not obviously so. We didn't prepare, ...

I suspect there’s something potentially disastrously scandalous coming down the pike. A top coach doesn’t just leave UK. If it’s money, I would think Cal has enough cachet to get them to match any offer. Cal does tend to leave one step ahead of the executioner (the NCAA), but in this case, I think ...

Yeah, that's pretty huge. I don't think Cal leaving is a huge surprise, even if it is big news. Going to a conference rival is a surprise though. The next domino will be interesting. I have to think that Hurley and Oats are at the top of UK's list. I don't think Danny's going anywhere, but I'm sure ...

I can't remember if I mentioned it, but we got a Tesla Model Y back in December. My wife drives it since I work from home. We got it used and it came with the Advanced Autopilot, but not Full Self Driving (FSD). Tesla released a new version of FSD last week that is apparently a huge improvement. As ...
