I'm not saying that the simple, chiming guitar riff in the back half of "Taxes" by Geese is the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life, but I'm also not not saying that.

@profanity.accountant Just curious

If you were to ask me in the mid-1980s what my favorite film was, I would have replied “BRAZIL.” And while I usually gave Terry Gilliam the blame for the way that film changed my head, gotta also give it up for Tom Stoppard.

Holy shit, that live “You’re Getting Married” from the Replacements LIVE AT CITY GARDENS 1984 10”

Weird to see that the opening scene of S5 of STRANGER THINGS takes place on my 21st birthday I know I drank a lot that evening, but i don't remember that happening at all!

When John Madden came into the restaurant my wife worked at in the mid-90s, the servers rolled their eyes cos he was apparently rude and a lousy tipper.

Using AI to lie to your children

Just tuned into the Cowboys-Chiefs game: Why is RFK Jr doing the color commentary?

For the next month, every time I run past this, all I’m going to be thinking is “don’t come to life don’t come to life don’t come to life don’t come to life.”

I get slightly less worried about the robot takeover each time our Roomba traps itself in our bathroom.

Spring of '94, and while suffering my first bout of unemployment, my daily balm was the cut-down episodes of the short-lived MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER HOUR. Five extra glorious hours a week of MST3K helped me get through a rough patch, and I'll never forget that.

"The American Revolution was made possible with support from the Corporation For a Public Broadcasting" Huge, if true.

No matter who wins this, 1989 was perhaps the greatest year for creative weirdos using previously existing recordings as building blocks (or chord changes!) to create brand-new songs.

If that "Gemini" button in the upper right of the Chrome browser is annoying you, you can get rid of it by right-clicking it and selecting "unpin."

I saw the "World Wide Web" in the .9 beta version of Netscape Navigator in late 1994, and said "oooh, I wanna learn to do that," taught myself HTML, and used that knowlege to find a 3-month contract job at an agency.

Every 41 years I buy the vinyl of LET IT BE.

Matt & Trey writing Mamdani into the next episode of SOUTH PARK.

I heard Zohran said "You know what people would love you for, sir, is universal health care and a basic income. They would build statues for you, and the very nasty people would suddenly be nice to you" and Trump said "wait really?" and now they're writing executive orders together

It was very important to use the EP version of "I Am A Scientist" as opposed to the album version!!!

If Rhino had any balls, they would have commissioned a 41-years-later video for "Seen Your Video"

Right after the 12" showed up at our college radio station.
