Cinephile. TV Sports Producer & home brewer. These tweets are mine w/o prompt. Former 15-year SID. Subtweets are dirty pool (but I use them occasionally.)
So I put out my favorite 10 movies from the years 2000-2025 (260) plus another 200+ that I think you should watch last year (a passion project.) Next, I'll give you my favorite 28 movies from the century (01-25). Really tough to pare down. Only one sequel in the list...
To celebrate the year 2025, I’m going take this year to put out my 10 favorite movies from every year 2000 to 2024 (every two weeks). I’ll also try to give out another list of 10 movies that if you haven’t seen, you should. I get lots of requests to watch a movie - use this list.
I have some questions, @lacroixwater
When I asked about it, one of the clerks in the store said “I don’t really like it” and it made me think that he probably doesn’t like puppies or rainbows either.
Why don’t networks with 1-on-1 interviews have an iPad with all of these things he said loaded up with a PA off-cam who cues it up, hands it into the shot and they SHOW him that he did say it right to his face on camera?
(Do the same at all debates with a huge monitor on stage.)
Trump to NBC: “First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war.” And: “So when you say I promised – I didn’t promise anything. I don’t like these endless wars. This is not an endless war.”
Reality: Trump promised in two of his highest-profile 2024 addresses not to have any wars at all, and he also made that promise in a bunch of other forums. Some examples:
June 2024 social media post: The election is “a choice between STRENGTH or WEAKNESS, COMPETENCE or INCOMPETENCE, peace and prosperity or war and no war.”
July 2024 Republican National Convention acceptance address: “With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over. I don’t have wars.”
August 2024 Pennsylvania rally: “Under Trump, we will have no more wars, no more disruptions, and we will have prosperity and peace for all.”
August 2024 North Carolina rally: Approvingly claimed Viktor Orban had said, “Make sure that Trump gets re-elected president and you're not going to have any more wars,” then added himself, “No more wars. No more disruptions. We will have prosperity and we will have peace.”
August 2024 Adin Ross interview: Boasted that he had no wars during his first term, then said, “And we won't have wars again.”
October 2024 Wisconsin rally: Did one of his numerous renditions of the Orban story: “Viktor Orban said, ‘If Trump comes back, you won't have any wars. You won't have any wars.’ And he's about as tough as they get, and he said it loud and clear and he said why. But you won't have any wars.”
November 2024 Election Night victory address: “I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars.”
That is in addition to the many times he struck similar themes without the explicit promise of having no wars period if elected again – for example, vowing to stop “endless” wars or prevent “World War III,” denouncing “warmongers,” boasting of having had “no wars” in his first term, or saying we don’t “need” wars.

@JackPosobiec But the erasure of American history is a sickening exercise. We didn’t always make the right choices, but these historical foibles need to be acknowledged. All cultures need to be remembered and recognized.
Since the Hartford Whalers team and logo was stolen and taken to Raleigh, I have never forgiven this group for not donating ALL PROCEEDS from any and all sweaters and games when they wear that awesome logo to men’s shelters in the Hartford area. Winters are tough on the homeless.
EXCLUSIVE: Tom Dundon is beloved by the Carolina Hurricanes organization, but as the new owner of the Portland Trail Blazers, he’s become controversial.
To many who have worked with Dundon in hockey, this recent avalanche of criticism from the basketball world has come as a surprise.

Bought a ticket for a movie this evening. I was the only purchased ticket with 90 mins to showtime.
Then 2 different couples bought seats and sat on either side of me in the middle of the 70-seat theater. 5 other rows completely empty. Creeps.
And I had to hear both chatter.
Trump’s DOJ has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, per an exclusive report from CNN. It's a blatant act of political revenge and intimidation against the woman who successfully sued Trump for sexual abuse and defamation. The probe reportedly focuses on alleged perjury tied to funding for her lawsuits against Trump. Link to the article in reply.

Don’t love this. In my former life in Athletics Communication, we were spread so thin as it was. If I had softball or baseball or lacrosse in the spring (I’ve had all 3 at different schools), I wouldn’t be able to give you the full attention I can in the fall. Same for ATC folks.

Been saying this in my office for months. Should apply to any sport in the NCAA. Big money schools pay the mid-majors and the rest for subsidizing their programs because they’re the only ones spending big cash on travel and recruiting HS kids. Should be % paid for coaches too.
I am rapidly coming to believe the European soccer transfer model should be adapted for NCAA D1 hoops. Mid- and low majors have to get some kind of compensation when they lose half of their teams to the portal in two weeks:
