A movie that takes place where you’re from.
Not exactly where I’m from (not a NY native), but it starts near Nogales AZ, where I was born and raised, and it ends in Queens where I live now.

The LIRR city ticket is such a great deal. Why would anyone ever drive into Manhatten when you can take a $5 train in.

Listening to the great new @themountaingoats.bsky.social record, I’m imagining sitting in a theater and hearing a really big version of Cold at Night play at the end of the first act, right before the curtain comes down and the lights go off.

So if I'm supposed to write science fiction for the good of society, do I still have to do it using IMRAD format?
This is not the worst book we've ever read but it is the meanest episode we've ever done.
Episode 46: Sapiens

One of the biggest flexes I ever had was asking some junior financial analysts watching their phones on a bus if they needed $20. They said for what and I said headphones. They got so mad.

He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

This year’s pan de muerto and ofrenda with @annevazquez.bsky.social! I feel like we finally figured out how to make the pan de muerto good.

I do hope this goes to game 7. I really like how much drama there has been this post season. Also, I’m going to need game 7 to go 19 innings.
I’d also like the Blue Jays to win, but it’s gotta be dramatic.

The Google ai ad during the game seems to not understand the difference between causation and correlation.
No, I don’t think that players that hop the chalk line hit better. Because that makes no sense.
