Sorry, England, I got nothing against your team especially but I'm officially a Norway fan and Erling Haaland stan. I want to see this team and their goofy viking striker/mascot cause some chaos. Let's see an upset!11 Jul 2026 21:05 +0000at://did:plc:4b2dtq46ir4itho7soeyl4ck/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqfkvnxku225https://bsky.app/profile/michaeljriser.com/post/3mq4bur2ky22sCongrats! I like this one. It's imperfect but way above average for found-footage horror, and has a scrappy energy that I really admire. It is certainly a much better use of your time than Grave Encounters or House of Wax.

Microsoft is a fucking disease. Just thinking about it all day long.08 Jul 2026 01:35 +0000at://did:plc:4b2dtq46ir4itho7soeyl4ck/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq3y4ag3pc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/michaeljriser.com/post/3mq3xvljaxk2qThis is insane. If I had $1,500 a month consistently right now I'd be feeling richer than I have in 3 years. If I had $7,500, I could do basically anything.
