I briefly met Dan Aykroyd when I was working in L.A. in the ‘90s and it is one of my favorite moments from my time out there because I was so excited to have a moment with him and he totally, but really harmlessly, dissed me, and I truly cherish that.

That Wall/Beal/Nene/Gortat/Pierce year was solid. :)

My wife would absolutely be this whether we had kids or not. So nit really, no… but I do look at folks with like multiples of those 10 foot tall skeletons and wonder how they got *that* into it (…and also where they store those things).

Getting ready for another exciting year of the Washington Wizards losing more games than everyone else then falling to the 5th or 6th pick in a 4 player draft class.

Put these together and you get President Hate Machine, which seems pretty on the nose for our present moment.

Anyway, voting NIN.

Pretty sure I didn’t know them until late ‘90, when a friend in college played them for me while we were camping out for Dead tickets. :) Definitely knew them prior to seeing them at the first Lollapalooza, which was nice.

They’ll bill more! All the time for the people using the AI, and all the time for the people cleaning up the mess using it caused.

Kind of hilarious that people smoking weed are proudly and openly walking around doing it on the streets while people smoking cigarettes look like they’re trying to not get caught masturbating in public.

Had a legit ASMR experience overhearing an Australian ordering a flat white.

That screening was so good, I came back later that week to catch The Shining on a big screen. That extended opening shot following the car through the forrest is pretty killer on a screen. Spoiler alert: Movie is still damn creepy!

Wannabe Senator oysterman has a Nazi tattoo, East Wing's demolished without warning for giant ass gold ballroom, Trump demands the DOJ give him a $230 million grift payment for the election he lost, North Carolina Republicans re-gerrymander, ICE buys guided missiles... this is a single news day?!

This. I'd only ever seen it on TV and thought it was boring as hell, but saw it in a theater in 2018 when they released a restored version of it in 70 mms for its 50th anniversary and holy hell, it kicked ass. That long, slow space stuff with classical music needs a huge real screen to work.

Trying to schedule a doctor’s appointment and every time I get through they’re busy and make me put in a callback number and every time they call me back my phone doesn’t ring and it goes to voicemail and for fuck’s sake this is the dumbest possible system.

I guess I have to root for the Blue Jays so they can get invited to the White House and be like, “We’re Canadian, eh? Take off, ya hoser.”

It’s been 32 years since the Blue Jays made it the World Series and somehow that’s waaaaaay better than how long it’s been since the Maple Leafs have made it to the Stanley Cup Finals…

If seattle has 3 and toronto has 4 is the game actually tied given the exchange rate?

My favorite part of the modern era of baseball is people getting on base and immediately putting on an oven mitt.

absolutely! went down a bit of a murakami hole the past couple years too, so definitely enjoy the vibe of that. albeit preferably with less extremely weird stuff happening when it actually involves me. :)
