143.03/ It really seems like M*sk is doing everything possible to destroy the Bird Site. If he were a rational actor, then he's laser focused on sabotage. But he's a pathetic, fragile narcissist & so these are his *best* ideas.

126.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues with Superman (1978) the trend-setter for all modern superhero movies. Also IMO has the best theme music and I *love* movie/TV themes. Brilliant art direction, amazing cast.

126.03/ Reference for NFL euphemisms: (1) "[player showing some] discomfort" = he's injured and in pain, (2) "[player is] shaken up" = he's so injured that he can't get up, (3) "[player is] down" = an injury that would prompt a normal person to call 911.

123.03/ Second #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight of the season: "A Night at the Opera."
Of course, I've shown the family this movie before - I'm no monster - but it's been too long & the kids are forgetting the lines, and that can't be.

122.03/ The first #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight of 5783 is the classic grim crime thriller "Batman"... actually, sorry, it's the camp classic "Batman (1966)". Why? Because it's referenced so often by later comedies & it's part of their education, of course.

84.03/ Couldn't be happier, or prouder, as a #Steelers fan to see they hired Brian Flores to be a senior coach. The team gets top notch talent and they take an anti-racist stand. And, as seen below, it earns respect from players:

81.02/ #MotzeiShabbatMovieNight continues. Another all-time favorite: "Big Trouble in Little China"
81.03/ For #CINvsKC, naturally I would like the Bengals to lose and - if it's not too much to ask - by more than 21 so the Steelers playoff loss doesn't look quite as terrible as it did (at least on paper)
