For some reason I want UNC to go down. Doubt it will happen though.

It's a bad day on my end (yeah, what's new), but for some reason reading this user review of Prey At Night just being "GREAT ? ? ?" made me laugh for about five minutes.

I think it's those hot Lipscomb cheerleaders. Making me pull for them with their wily blonde ways.

Ahh, the joys of fandom:

 

Quote

“To be absolutely honest, it [was] kind of impossible,” he explained. “Sherlock became the animal that it became immediately. Whereas even with [the U.K. version of] The Office, it was a slow burn. But Sherlock was frankly notably high quality from the outset. And when you start [that high] it’s pretty hard to maintain that.

 

“Being in that show, it is a mini-Beatles thing,” he concluded. “People’s expectations, some of it’s not fun anymore. It’s not a thing to be enjoyed, it’s a thing of: ‘You better f—ing do this, otherwise, you’re a c—.’ That’s not fun anymore.”

There are other... choice comments circulating around from the Telegraph interview.  Lots of kneejerk reactions, many sympathetic ones as well.

 

The whole issue of toxic fandom is gonna need a reckoning one day.  Just not sure how that reckoning happens, or when.

Thought he died, but he pulled a Matt Damon instead.

 

Matt Damon has been working overtime to rehabilitate his image, he is even including diversity riders in contracts now.

I'm literally too OCD for the brackets. I'd still be trying to fill one out right now. I could maybe predict a Final Four, that's not bad, but trying to decide if St. Johns Aquinas Bonaventura is going to upset Duke or not in a 64 team bracket, yeah no fam.

It's easy, in a millisecond you just decide yes or no and go with that.
