I cannot recall how a copy of @srscinema.bsky.social's GOBBLEFOOT release ended up in my mailbox today, but I am not upset about it. This is all the motivation I needed to get through all my emails.

This is a banger. I will not be taking questions at this time.
When NPR reaches out and says, “Hey, do you want to talk about Paul McCartney’s ‘Wonderful Christmastime’?” you of course say yes. www.npr.org/2025/12/01/n...
Is Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmastime' simply… horrible?
In the decades since its release, "Wonderful Christmastime" has become a seasonal staple beloved by some but loathed by others.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Was all cranky about having to go into work as the wind keeps cranking up & the temps drop, but then I remember @luckynun.bsky.social has to stay up north an extra night because the roads between there & here are whiteout conditions. Now I'm all cranky AND worried.

Action movies with stronger X-Mas vibes:
* KISS KISS BANG BANG
* INVASION USA
* BATMAN RETURNS
* THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT
* LETHAL WEAPON
Okay, fine, pretty much 95% of Shane Black's filmography.

Also okay to not like something while also acknowledging it's good. Lots of very well-regarded books/movies/albums/shows which simply don't grab you.
"If they paid attention everyone would like this" isn't really how art works! It's OK to like something because you like it, not because it's objectively good.

Uncomfortable warm inside the bar, uncomfortably chilly & damp outside. My feet hurt, I want a chair with back support, & I'm just too tired to have fun, as enjoyable as this show is. I also don't know anybody.
