    [TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

    I just saw the Fallout teaser. It might be good. Then I saw the comments on social media. There were so many sexist pigs wailing that their favorite video series had “gone woke” because it featured a female protagonist. I get the feeling that those dweebs spent most of their school days either...

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Seeing a grown man burn children’s dolls was entertaining. I don’t think Shapiro was aware of how ridiculous he looked.

    The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

    It looks like the entire feral family has been fostered or adopted out. It took three months of patience, feeding, and petting when they allowed it, but mama cat and all her kittens hopefully have their forever homes now.

    I'm grading final papers and discovered that two of my students let AI completely write their papers. I suspected something was up when these two knuckleheads, who normally write at a grammar school level, suddenly wrote at a university standard. I dug a little further and found their papers...

    My bachelor lunch was there. I love the food but you have to get there way early.

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I'm at my office now and I'm overhearing another professor dress down students who got caught cheating. Working at an HBCU, I've noticed that students try to get sympathy from younger white and Hispanic professors. They don't bother with Asian professors because a lot of our Asian faculty don't...

    They'll just shrug it off and say some platitudes about "the price of freedom." They don't care about the death, destruction, and national shame. They just want to be able to keep an AR-15 under their bed in case a scary outlaw biker tries to break in.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    As the Republican party becomes more white, rural, evangelical, and uneducated, its legislators have increasingly embodied their base's personality characteristics. That includes "tough guy" posturing. I've observed that with the in-laws. They don't debate or use nuance. They just shout.

    There was a shooting on campus today. It was on the agriculture department's farm, which is massive and bigger than the rest of campus. Apparently it was a disgruntled former employee who killed one of the staff.

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    I've been hearing a lot about how it has the worst domestic opening ever for an MCU. However, it was still the biggest domestic movie of the weekend because movies just haven't done well over these past few weeks. Killers of the Flower Moon has tanked and it's Oscar Bait.

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    That reminds me of an Ant-Man comic where some C-list villains are giving a rookie pointers on how to commit super crime. "If you're in New York, stick to Midtown. Spider-Man is all right. Laugh at his jokes and he'll go easy on you. You can try Hell's Kitchen but you don't want to mess with...

    I've heard of recently split couples where they use the pets as bargaining chips. Sometimes they'll put the animal in a kill shelter just to hurt the other party. I hope the dog ends up being okay.

    Halloween (2023)

    That must mean they're handing out butterscotch candy from glass ashtrays. The weather was pretty chilly here so we didn't get as many as before. Still, we had maybe 20-25 come by. We handed out full-sized bars and the kids were glad to get those.

    I recently learned that faculty enhancement grants will cover a lot of conference expenses (they used to be way too stingy). I'll be traveling with a university credit card and will have most everything else reimbursed after the trip. The upside is my wife is much more likely to come to...

    He had suffered from cardiac arrest before. I’m thinking heart attack and then he slumped forward in the tub.

    Update: One of the feral kittens is back. I'm thinking the TNR group did its thing. At least he's with his Mom again. In the meantime, the mama cat has gotten straight up demanding. She will yell for food as soon as I arrive at my building in the morning. After I get her breakfast ready, she...

    I found a dove in a grocery store parking lot last night. It was trying to fly but I knew something was wrong. It kept flopping around. I got a blanket out of my car and a security guard helped me wrap it up. I brought it home and found a shoebox for it. This morning, I brought it to an SPCA...

    I’ve gotten further into Walking Dead: World Beyond. I like it. There are actually a lot of flashback scenes that show life pre-outbreak and when things start to go down.
