Just watched The Iron Claw, and as an 80s Ric Flair stan, it is astounding that they could not cast a professional *actor* to cut a promo with the same level of charisma and personality as Flair himself.
Not cutting on the actor, just that Flair in the 80s was in another plane of existence.
Two years is too much of a break for serialized TV
I can remember the Top 3 main plot points from The Boys, but am basically lost on all supporting characters and details about them.
I know people are picking on Cybertrucks for how weird they look, but until you actually see one in the wild, next to normal cars with rational, logical designs, you are not prepared for just how weird Cybertrucks actually look.
There are announcers like Graeme Le Saux who have the cadence and intonation of a sports broadcaster, where I am surprised he had a successful soccer career, and there are announcers like Landon Donovan who, yep, that sounds like a retired athlete.
My previous pair of walking shoes were wearing out after a few million steps so I went out and bought a new pair of shoes: same size and brand and color, since the last pair worked so well.

Everyone: Okay, about to start this Godzilla Minus One movie. Pray 4 Tokyo lol
Everyone 90 minutes later: God in heaven. Cinema is the language of dream and nightmare. War is a crime against life itself

I used to scroll my phone and dropped that during Covid.
I am only sad I didn’t start reading routinely every day earlier.
I really hope Leicester City’s rumored manager adopts the nickname “Rude Man”, because I would cheer every time I heard Peter Drury talk about Ruud ‘Rude Man’ Van Nistlerooy.
I had planned a Valleyfair visit that would be quiet, and today ticked all the boxes
