I mean, if Apple needed a new CEO, they coulda just asked me.

Watching Aaron Paul doing a guest turn on ER that coulda been an audition tape for Jesse Pinkman.

Over at the Wall Street Journal, I reviewed Scott Meslow's excellent new 'Twin Peaks' survey "A Place Both Wonderful And Strange", which narrates the show's amazing journey from midseason network replacement to canonical instance of uniquely American art.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

The Pope just needs to juke his clearance rate stats.

Anybody else get, like a dozen emails at the in a couple of minutes from FedEx asking you to “Update your email preferences" ?? Assuming that's an AI glitch on FedEx's part. And if it's actually spam, that's a different problem.

We have so much better camera work now than we had when i was a kid

Of course text works when the phones are down

Entry Interface. Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

You know how when you go on vacation, and when you get home everything is still fucked up? It would be that much worse if your vacation was to the other side of the Moon.

governor abbott took away our rainbow crosswalks but we replaced them with much more visible rainbow sidewalks, and some businesses have followed suit (one added rainbow exterior stairs)

Spoon pals, this one needs your help.

Just realized that Amazon charges you for "expected" tax to be collected. So what happens when the actual tax collected is lower? I've never seen a refund. And if they just keep it, what's to stop them from adding even a penny of tax to each transaction and keeping it? Laws? Ha!!

A movie couple who would definitely have a podcast

Nobody point out when the two weeks is almost over.

Astronauts are like when you're driving home for Thanksgiving, and you know that you have to do it, but you also know that the entire is gonna suck because your dad's gonna be drunk and mean by noon.

This team-up between John Lydon and Afrika Bambaata is still great. medialoper.com/certain-song...

I'd really like to finish Certain Songs, or at least The Who on Certain Songs.

I'm also trying to put words to a thing that Townshend and Moon did, especially on the live version of "Drowned," .where it was 1...2..1234, where they crashed together on the first 1&2, but Moon had space to do fills on the 1234.

Watching Franc Roddam's QUADROPHENIA for the first time in a long time. For research, of course.

That Kid is Alright

Side one of LIVE AT LEEDS

I hate baseball.

I mean, I'm not sure it means a whole bunch for a manager to get tossed out these days -- not unless they enforce a full communications blackout from the clubhouse.

I love baseball.

Plastic Bertrand - "Ca Plane Por Moi" medialoper.com/certain-song... Heard a snatch of it on the radio, took me a couple of years to figure out what it was.

the Artemis II crew just posted a new photo. what the fuck

Ah, "Sparks" done as if's on QUADROPHENIA.

Plan was to watch the Giants game, but they're down 8-0 in the 5th, so gonna watch Ken Russell's TOMMY for the umpteenth time as research.

I've poisoned BlueSky and been giving it the antidote every day. But a little bit less each time.
