linktr.ee/ineednewhobbies Hanging out in my living room on the Internet. Please be (un)cool enough to hang out here. Follows-only unless I feel like it. If you're not into pro wrestling, mute this: 🤼♂ they/them
If anyone's curious what my last pass, possibly not still applicable, looked like.
Because you have some player/managers, and some people whose debut date is reported weird, I can guarantee that this list is inaccurate on the players who played in the Negro Leagues, but there are 74 names here, and Wikipedia says there are 278 people who were inducted as players, so about 26%.
And here's '96-'26. Full list and a count in a moment.
We don't usually see each other's headers, but here's mine. Quote skeet with yours (if you feel like it)
I am a fucking child sometimes when allowed to do the (online) grocery shopping unattended.
1991-2008 Best Picture nominees I haven't seen:
Of the popular/"noteworthy" ones I haven't seen/seen all of/seen in long enough to remember much of, at present, these are the ones I'm still curious about, if morbidly so in some cases, at first glance anyway.

I did just have to change out 12 films on my list (and added 2 more years, 1928 and 2026, making it so I've seen at least one film from every year of full talkies; we don't talk about '27...), which was pretty dope, but I wasn't happy about Godzilla vs. Creature from the Black Lagoon. 📽️
Never mind, I'm caught up. And wow, what a mess these people are.
For anyone who doesn't want to go over to the website...
9. It's like this, only The Joker has nukes (and, no matter how played out the character is, will always still be at least a little cooler than That Asshole), and this time, he's not on the side of Iran like he was in A Death in the Family (which, wow, that shit was handled awkwardly in hindsight).
Oh, those saucy little devils at Criterion. 📽️
New great personal accomplishment just dropped. 🤼
If you're gonna be on psychedelic drugs between the hours of 2 and 10 AM Eastern Time overnight, gosh, do I have the streaming service for you.
