music dork, movie nerd, tv junkie, gaming goofus...opinions mine, unfortunately. For work I spend lots of time surveying public opinion on all kinds of stuff. Also: St. Louis Cardinals, Blues, Mizzou, and Tottenham Hotspur. #COYS
As I was saying. :)
Whole lotta smoke drifting out of Jesse Hall in CoMo tonight... Mizzou may be locking down their head coach. Last week I was sure he'd be gone at season's end.

This morning's NYT Crossword a delight for fans of a certain film critic. (I recognized those review sentenced *immediately*. Some of the most fun reviews the man ever wrote.)

Anyway do you guys ever think about how Sam Darnold, who is better than Brock Purdy, was the 49ers backup QB when they lost one of the closest Super Bowls ever

The kids are all right. (Also, while I'm trying to figure out if that's a real Rickenbacker 4001 bass, I'm also realizing I don't care, because the tone is amazing here, and that color is just...I covet it.)

The Netflix miniseries Death By Lightning turns a historical footnote — Charles Guiteau's assassination of President James Garfield — into a grand entertainment, with wonderful performances by Matthew Macfadyen, Michael Shannon, Betty Gilpin, and, especially, Nick Offerman. My review:

I know my ol' home state...er, commonwealth of Virginia quite well, and those House Delegate flips last night were in districts that were at minimum purple, and some which were Fire Engine Red.
Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

One last (fairly giddy) political post from me, then back to ephemera that is my usual nonsensical prattling:

Bad night for AtlasIntel, and their "polling" which is actually mostly "Making shit up."
And a bad night for whichever NYT editor made them a "Select Pollster" because Atlas's made up polling numbers in 2024 were close to the final results.

Trailer for this show, which drops on Netflix on Thursday!
I truly hope:
1. More people recognize the amazingness that was James Garfield
2. More people recognize the awesomeness of Candice Millard and read Destiny of the Republic....and then read her other books as well. They're all great.

Bluesky's CBB activity is FAR too low, but I'll keep posting here all the same. Here's a big Starter Pack I created about a year ago. Share it! If there are accounts posting about ball near-daily that should be added, let me know and I'll share tonight.

Not exactly one for the Louvre, but Mizzou somehow messes their way to a win at Auburn.
