Silly Netflix, I was able to buy The Walking Dead for $60.  /jk


Does anyone watch these? They have 6 spin-offs.

Apparently it's really popular with the young people.  But it doesn't seem like any of the series are considered to be as good as the original. 
I see it on tv from time to time but I haven't watched more than a few minutes. The ads are always pretty funky, like I think one was teasing that they turned zombies into green goo and that burned to make electricity.

Fauci is on blast this week again, because Rand Paul released Fauci's diary. 


People are just so horrifying. People will believe the most obvious nonsense.


Like someone claiming that 14 countries have arrest warrants for Fauci. As if in the real world, countries don't have their own health system administrators that write their own policy.

I've been looking into a bunch of claims that Fauci supposedly admitted things in his diary, that seem to be nonsensical.  Or very intentional misreadings of things that are in there.

I feel like by some of these standards you could argue real life has plot holes.

"You're telling me John went into the kitchen, and forgot what he was in there for? That's so stupid."
Yeah some people mistake "plot hole" for non optimal.

The movie just needs to be internally consistent.

I watched Masters of the Universe the other day and on that note, I have no idea what was going on with the sword being in a comic store. I was really confused by that and the movie never addressed it.

Quote from: kitler53 on Jul 29, 2026, 02:36 PMwell,.. just to pile on i guess.

i posted a bit about it back in jan/feb but leave for my brothers place next tuesday for my sister-in-laws funeral celebration of life party.



...also just got off the phone with my wife and she just got let go.  she got put in charge of a project and then the project was put on hold and now canceled so her whole team is now gone.  but she was feeling this could happen so she's already been job hunting.  she did a round of final interviews last week an is expecting a final hiring decision this Friday. 

so either this is amazing news:  gets paid a double wage for a few months while working the new job and still getting her severance pay.

or this is horrible news:  not saying she can't get any job if this particular one falls though but in the last couple of months she's been looking this is the only one she felt like was a great fit for her.  could be a long unemployment period and maybe she even will have to take a job that is a step down.
Hoping for the best

Quote from: nnodley on Jul 29, 2026, 04:06 AMDang. Yeah I'm over death and 2026 in general. My great uncle(by marriage) is on hospice and likely not making it through the night, maybe tomorrow. Comes on the heels of my grandpas passing in January

This year has sucked.
Sorry bud.  :'(
