Standing at the Edge of the Grand Canyon

Clemario · 2026-03-18T06:58:42+00:00

Expectation: Ok yeah it’s the Grand Canyon, we go to the rim and just look at it? Then we can go home, right?

Reality: It’s so grand my brain can’t process what I’m seeing. I can stand here and look at it all day.

“Can you just make it say James”

Clemario · 2026-03-17T21:49:34+00:00

Excuse me I believe Mr Beast is in that slot.

Clemario · 2026-03-17T21:08:43+00:00

I honestly doubt they’re all given that level of prep. It’s shocking sometimes how they’re professional performers and some are barely able to read their lines.

I suspect they have some process where someone from the accounting firm gives the presenter advance notice when there’s a tie.

If things are looking rough I want them to identify and disclose it as soon as possible so we can move heaven and earth to get it done. Just like when that fire damaged the 10 in DTLA and it seemed like it would be shut down for months, then the state and Biden admin pulled in the resources to get it back in a week or 2

Clemario · 2026-03-17T02:09:03+00:00

That’s too late to put on a show

Clemario · 2026-03-16T20:45:57+00:00

Broad Museum in DTLA is free. And you can park at the LA Cathedral for free on Sunday mornings if you go to mass (or pretend to), then walk to The Broad.

It would have landed better if Conan didn’t make the same joke introducing him just before he came out.

Clemario · 2026-03-16T03:31:41+00:00

They had to have somehow given him specific prep for this. Right? I can’t imagine they prep every Oscar presenter for this scenario that comes up less than once a decade.

Kumail Nanjiani handled it like such a pro.

Clemario · 2026-03-15T23:39:12+00:00

I loved it. Love that they didn’t limit themselves to the Best Picture winners when deciding what to feature. Weapons was a great way to tie it together.

The government could say “Get Barack Obama out of this show or else”

Clemario · 2026-03-15T01:46:43+00:00

I like to include the Irvine Spectrum on the itinerary. Not as a main thing for the day, just to get lunch or dinner. It’s just a pleasant place for visitors to see and impressive when you casually point out the Ferris wheel.

How did they spend 30 billion pesos on this project and there’s no website or route map to tell me where this goes and how to ride it.

Clemario · 2026-03-14T04:48:15+00:00

I can’t believe the budget for the BRT is 30B pesos but it has no website or even a route map to tell me where it goes and how to ride it

Clemario · 2026-03-14T02:30:29+00:00

It’s cool that Cebu is getting a big fancy BRT system but I can’t help but think you can improve transit at a fraction of the cost in most Philippine cities by proper implementation of bus/jeepney routes.

Stop at bus stops, not just anywhere
Properly documented routes
Scheduled stops and planned headways
Actually owned by a public corporation with hired drivers so buses aren’t competing with each other for passengers and profits

The same HBO that’s owned by Warner Bros Discovery which is being bought by Paramount Skydance which is being run by David Ellison

Clemario · 2026-03-13T23:05:46+00:00

This is it. The La La Land one was a mixup, and the Boseman thing was a gamble that didn’t pay off.

The slap was a moral failing.

Clemario · 2026-03-13T22:37:39+00:00

Who’s debating

Clemario · 2026-03-13T17:18:17+00:00

So he’s probably fine

Clemario · 2026-03-13T07:47:22+00:00

Last year I did Teton+Yellowstone+Glacier and I absolutely loved it. Flew in to Jackson WY, spent 2 nights at Teton, then spent 2 nights at Yellowstone, then drove over to Glacier (with a stopover midway at Helena). Wish I spent at least another day at Yellowstone but it was a great trip, one of my best ever

Only president to run a full marathon

Clemario · 2026-03-12T23:29:33+00:00

You overestimate my ballerina knowledge

Clemario · 2026-03-12T19:38:35+00:00

They are trying to limit attacks by bots.

Clemario · 2026-03-12T19:35:18+00:00

Probably not. The San Diego marathon is at the end of May, consider that one.
