Omg. They actually put Mr. House on the Vegas Sphere.

Also, episode 1 of season 2 of Fallout was amazing.

The BBC News requires a subscription now? Why? Uugghh!!

We're just over a week away from the release of season 2 of Fallout. And the dreary winter weather keeps reminding me of the Capital Wasteland. I'd say it's time to begin another playthrough of my favorite Fallout game, Fallout 3.

Blexas ain't happening. I'm just too cynical at this point, aren't I?

I want to learn more about the American Revolution after watching Ken Burns' new documentary. My ambition is to read 13 books (get it?) about it between Jan 1st and Jul 4th of 2026.

Here's my list. For historians or laypeople, any suggestions or criticisms?

I recently went to the dentist for my semiannual cleaning and checkup. My dentist insists on playing a YouTube compilation of nature scenes on a giant TV right in front of the chair. It reminded me of the euthanasia scene from Soylent Green. The hygienist had no idea what I was talking about.

A suggestion for your web map: Add the ability to calculate per capita tax values for multiple municipalities on the fly. For example, to determine what the per capita tax taxable value for a city would be if tax haven enclaves totally within its boundaries were included.

Episode 3 of #TheAmericanRevolution was the most compelling so far.

I haven't been this interested in the Revolutionary War since I was, like, seven, when I was absolutely obsessed with Liberty's Kids, also a PBS program. I need to compile a reading list.

Does anyone recognize the sailing ship which appears in episode 3 of #TheAmericanRevolution? It has appeared in a few scenes so far.

The New York Times did not, in fact, print it.

This is pretty much how I expect today's elections to go. I'm so jealous of NYC and Mamdani. Texas blows.

I'm on the verge of watching all 18 & 1/2 hours of Ken Burns' Baseball. Someone needs to take me out of it.

I thought the Blue Jays had it. Dang. That was an epic World Series.

And my favorite video game, Bioshock Infinite, directly and indirectly refences the novel, too.

I have a lot to say, but I need some time to collect my thoughts. 10/10 book, 9/10 movie.

I recently read Edith Wharton's Age of Innocence and then watched Martin Scorsese's film adaptation.

Now I want to create a video essay about the parallels between May Welland and Alice Lee, Theodore Roosevelt's first wife.

That's misleading marketing.
