The poster child for soiling a legacy of excellent football and comedic timing in movies by murdering two people in cold blood has died. I hope the train to where ever he's going doesn't get there faster than 45 miles per hour. https://www.latimes.com/obituaries/story/2024-04-11/oj-simpson-dead

Both the Women's and Men's tournaments are going on in NCAA basketball. The first round is 32 games. The Men's committee went 21-11. In other words, 11 out of 32 underdogs beat better seeded teams. For the Women, the committee went 31-1 with only 1 lower seed winning. It doesn't mean anything...

First, I had no idea he was that old. Which sounds weird for me to say since he's only four years older than me. Second, I had no idea he had cancer. Fuck cancer. I actually liked his music. It was just so silly. https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/singer-toby-keith-dead-62/story?id=106980019

I was perusing Reddit as I do, when I came across a webcomic by artist Pizzacakecomic - one of the most popular artists on Reddit. Here's her (her? His? not sure) comic: Look familiar? From 2011, @Bumble the Boy Wonder gave us this gem 13 years too soon.

Today I went to download a few things - WHICH I OWN BY RIGHT OF HAVING AMAZON VIDEO! - but my qBittorrent has anything new as stalled. I've gone through several websites and videos who perported to be able to help the problem but nothing does. I'm at my wit's end, here.

I got to meet these guys WAY back in the day at an Italian restaurant in Omaha. And by meet I mean we were in the same place and the managers talked to them but I saw it! https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tom-smothers-half-famed-comedy-music-duo-smothers-brothers-dead-86-rcna131330

After taxes you've cleared $500 million. You're set for life. Well, probably set for life. I know the usual things like pay off bills, get new car, new house, etc. But what off the wall thing would you do? Me? I have a few of them. Most of which would give me considerably less money. In no...

Apparently he drowned in his hot tub? Whoa. That’s a weird way to go. No drugs were found.

So I've been playing this game a lot and there are very many things I like about it. In fact, I think it's my new Skyrim for replayability and content. And, like Skyrim, I have hardly scratched the surface of the main game storyline. Like Skyrim, it's a very hard game to spoiler. It's actually...

Not the best known actor but he’s been in a number of things you’d know. He’s “oh that guy” when you see him. I met John a number of years ago when he spoke at the funeral of a mutual friend. He recited the poem Go Down, Death. We spoke for a little while there but nothing major. A few years...

Got this email today. It's happened. Time for me and a drove of others to cancel. https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/netflix-us-password-crackdown-paid-sharing-block-devices-1235607517/

As the debate over whether college athletes should be paid continues, it's clear that there are strong arguments on both sides of the issue. While some argue that college athletes should receive compensation for their contributions to their schools' athletic programs, others believe that such...

Dead at 71 of cancer. I hate that she went off the deep end because I liked her in shows. https://variety.com/2022/tv/obituaries-people-news/kirstie-alley-dead-cheers-look-whos-talking-1235451006/

Today marks the 9th (!!) anniversary of Mikko’s passing. It’s sad and I miss him but it’s time to celebrate knowing him! Post your favorite thing about Mikko/North_Ranger here! (Oh, and happy anniversary, Halforums.)

Reports are coming out & it looks grim. Doctors are “very concerned”. The BBC has replaced their anchor with their top guy and he’s wearing the black tie used for royal deaths. End of an era.

Due to monetary concerns I need to make some cuts. I currently give $50 a month to two charities - Save the Children and the ASPCA. I need to give one of these up. Which one and why?

This one makes me kind of sad. She was only 31. I'm not much of an America's Got Talent watcher so I only learned about her after she left the show, but for those who don't know she was an incredibly talented and gracious contestant. Unfortunately she also had incurable cancer. She went through...
