I saw a homeless man wearing a @bluejays.com cap going from window to window at the intersection, but then two lawyers from Rogers came and said he couldn’t do that until he handed over the cap.

You seem disgruntled that the Times did not report the story in a certain way. But they did report it, earning the further ire of the most powerful revenge-seeker in the face of the earth. And the reported facts are enough to make it shocking. They don’t have to hold the reader’s hand.

Before you saw their report, did you know about it?

Watched the 2024 French film ‘Saint-Ex’ on the plane, affirming an old idea that I should never read about films before I see them, and another old idea that the greatest films contain narrative flaws because they’re trying for something bigger than the verisimilitudinous box-check.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

ICE is trying really hard to follow Stephen Miller’s orders to get a false flag Reichstag Fire thing going, but it’s not working out for them.

Rosanna Deerchild interviewed Gary Farmer about Graham Greene. Essential listening. He openly wept at the end as he spoke of how the raven could have made us out of stone if he wanted us to live forever, but instead he made us out of leaves.

In the Guardian review of Bill & Ted’s Godot, the actors’ stage business is referred to as “extra-textual treats.”

It looks like Hegseth is calling home the 4-star generals to rescind their oaths to the US constitution & have them swear an oath to the fuhrer instead.

So the autism schools in Cuba are standing empty? WHY DID THEY EVEN BUILD THEM? Are they just stupid?

Mark Chadbourn @chadbourn.bsky.social · Sep 22

Trump off on one, speaking at the White House: “In Cuba, they don't have Tylenol because they don't have the money for Tylenol.

“They have no autism. Tell me about that one.”

One admirable detail that I think they left out of the Lilith Fair doc was — if I recall — the Be Good Tanyas made a name for themselves by busking outside the venues.

Very moving to hear Sinéad O’Connor harmonize with Sarah McLachlan in that Lilith Fair doc.

Why are you proud of this? She’s exposing your weakness. Which, considering the victimhood-mentality of your bio, is not surprising.
