Correct. There is a ball and it is a significant component in the ongoing sporting event.

Some of it. Someone I work with is running a km for every goal scored. The fool

Konosuba - trashy and I love how incompetent the whole team are.
Rewatching Skip and Loafer because itâs a tamer anime that I like.
And started Delicious in Dungeon.

If it helps, thereâs an entire sportsball thread over here (in which it is also not being discussed; but it could be).

I donât generally watch sportsball (though I am aware of it and do watch highlights), but I do watch MMA and trudged through the overtly political UFC Freedom 250 White House event. All finishes, which was good. Most were squash matches, which was bad. Suprising upset in the main event. I muted all the commentary, fluff, and AI slop they aired between the fights. I did not pay for this because I get my Paramount+ subscription free with my T-Mobile account; I would not have paid for it because screw those guys.

Military folk have a saying, that you salute the rank, not the man. I think itâs about ritual and symbolism, where those symbols largely acquire and retain meaning through ritual shows of respect, regardless of the people involved or what they thought of each other.
Well, alright. But thereâs something to be said for people respecting their own rank and the symbols which come with it. I canât help it, I see the White House used for a UFC event, my mind goes immediately to President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

You are not alone in making those comparisons.

In their defence when England was 250 years old there were similarly medieval practices.

Remind me: was that just before we let the French have a go at ruling us? If so, maybe thereâs a lesson.

Possibly yes, and you might outnumber the crowd attendance for some of the group games.

So far
- Curacao scoring against Germany is so based. Brazil having war flashbacks seeing the score of this game.
- Korea PEAK AF
- Spain: embarrassing

My partner and I just finished watching Kolchack the Night Stalker
Itâs a remarkable slice of the 1970s and the episodes only ever fail from reaching too far. Amazed that in the last episode a scene that could be a direct inspiration for a parody moment in Austin Powers could lead to serious anxiety about claustrophobia in a viewer. Period views on feminism and women are the main odd moments out thatâll jar a modern viewer and there were only about six really teeth clenching moments that didnât get any redemption
Darren McGavin was a gifted performer
The spooky plots are inspired in places. Just stunning to see them done that far back and in unusual ways. âThe Werewolfâ episode is a particularly fresh take. A number of Lovecraft nods as well. Some fans of Colour out of Space in the writers room for sure
The aerial location shots of Chicago in the series episodes are an amazing time capsule

Kolchak used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. Still watchable today, McGavin was excellent in the role,

Saw the trailer for this and it looked good. Need to get around to it.

I watched The Mandalorian and Grogu, and it was aggressively fine.
Almost no space wizards, which is a huge plus. Good action scenes, only a handful of completely unrealistic fights. It was good.
I have now been diligently and methodically chewing through all of The Rookie. On Season 2 now⌠for copaganda, itâs not terrible. And Fillion is good, but the rest of the cast is crystalizing into some real talent.

At some point we had to stop with The Rookie in season 6 because the showâs premise didnât make sense at some point anymore and it got a bit ridiculous in regards to the story lines. The problem when you try to milk a show in my opinion.

After finishing watching The Boys, then Spider Noir, we are now watching Superman & Lois, which is lovely.
