@NFL Your iPhone app is awesome when it works properly. I subscribe to NFL+ for condensed replays, so I appreciate being able to turn scores off. But when it just randomly signs itself out and I open the app to see the score spoiled of a game I'm excited to watch like TNF? 😡

The other frustration is that the button to make the game fullscreen is very close to where you tap to jump to the end of the game--which of course also spoils it.

After my last attempt to clarify, your system blocked my email address entirely. I need this escalated to your technical team. Ticket # N16X9E-PXNV5.

My all-time favorite #film: Network (1976) with Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, and Ned Beatty; directed by Sidney Lumet. MY REVIEW: People often say this film has gone from satire to reality. Hyperbole, but I can't deny its darkly comical prescience. Grade: A+

Mon #film favori: Network, main basse sur la T.V. (1976) avec Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall, et Ned Beatty; réalisé par Sidney Lumet. CRITIQUE: Prémonitoire, brillamment écrit, et sauvagement drôle. Note: 19 TB

@SonnyBunch Curious to hear what your cohost @petersuderman (who is apparently not on Bluesky, hence my reason for coming back here) thinks. Peter, what say you? "AI slop", "plausible verbiage", or good writing? bsky.app/profile/sonnybunch.…

In the interest of transparency, a peek behind the curtain at the making of the sausage.

@ARonHubbs @Jonescaster Each of you seems to be confused about something different in the second episode of Secerance.

A. Ron described the scene when Helly exclaims "oh God, the four!", and Dylan tells her to quit fucking around, as the moment when she "gets it". That's not the case, this was earlier when she was basically making fun of the whole idea that the numbers could seem "scary".

And I'm fairly certain Jim was wrong to think the recording was of Mark in the break room. I agree with A. Ron that it was most likely Petey.

@pescami Mike, do you remember when I told you I am a Democrat who opposes voting by mail because domineering conservative husbands could pressure their wives into voting the way they want? (You said it was a fair point you hadn't considered.) 1/2

2/2 Does this ad mean other Dems are coming around to this perspective? Although the polling place depicted there does NOT provide the privacy of an old-fashioned voting booth. It is open, and you must walk through the room to have your ballot scanned. youtu.be/FaCPck2qDhk?si=JvIj…

@BaldMove You guys were afraid ALIEN: ROMULUS looked cheesy in the trailer. But you had that preconception completely dispelled by watching the entire movie, really? For me, the first half was as great a sci-fi movie as I've seen in a long time. Second half? 😬 Super cheesy.

Which is highly reminiscent of the Danny Boyle film SUNSHINE. So hard to know how to evaluate movies like that. It'd be easy to decide that an hour of schlockiness is enough to ruin any movie, but I still feel the pull of wanting to give recognition for a magnificent first act.

going well I see
Trump, who is calling in live to Fox News, seems to be accidentally pressing buttons on his phone's keypad.

Dems need to crucify Vance with this! Hold his feet to the fire. This is truly outrageous for a US senator and now vice presidential nominee. Worth using a gift article: nytimes.com/2024/08/05/opini…

@jeffcannata Jeff, loved hearing you touting DARK MATTER, a show I also loved. Funny though that you named episode 4 as the point to get to, in order to be hooked. That is actually the only episode I rated lower than 5 stars on my TV Time app (though I still rated it 4 stars).

Which is unprecedented in my experience, as I am very anti-grade inflation and it's pretty tough to get the full five stars from me. Even the final season of SUCCESSION saw two of ten episodes getting only four stars, and that is the closest contender.

Replying to @ARonHubbs
@ARonHubbs Just started the latest episode of THE BOYS and was struck by what a shame it is that you are only planning to circle back to GEN V after the season. The "previously on..." segment was half from that show, and spoiled a bunch of really juicy, fun twists. ☹️

So many other spinoffs have given people the wrong idea, I think. A lot of times they have someone from the main show in the first episode but it doesn't really impact that original show's narrative, and then maybe it's occasionally mentioned after that or maybe not.

Either way, the spinoff is not integral to the storyline of the universe like it is in this case. GEN V features several characters from THE BOYS, and the things they do are extremely significant and change the status quo of their characters' arcs.
