@kidcongopowers.bsky.social and @naimamor.bsky.social performing their forthcoming album, “Tucson Safari” at Che’s Lounge. It’s out this October, although some of us at tonight’s show may have been lucky enough to procure an advance copy…

In a disappointing reversal of alliances, Legolas breaks with the Fellowship and attends Sauron’s wedding.

The inimitable @kidcongopowers.bsky.social performing the Cramps classic “Goo Goo Muck” with Clifton Taylor at a fundraiser for Tucson City Council Candidate Sadie Shaw. I scored a signed copy of his autobiography in the silent auction!

Americans will die because of what Trump did today. Their blood is on his hands.

Shout out to the great William Smith! #TheLastDriveIn @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

I’m so glad we’re getting a 50s giant bug movie. I love this subgenre so much. #TheLastDriveIn @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social

I long for the day when he’ll have to trade his golden toilet for one made of stainless steel.

If you have a non-profit movie theater, film festival, archive or other institution that you admire, frequent or just want to see exist, now would be a good time to donate to them. The gutting of the NEA funding makes things only more precarious for these orgs, many of who already struggle.

@kidcongopowers.bsky.social and @naimamor.bsky.social performed their as-yet-unreleased collaboration album last night at Wooden Tooth Records in Tucson. On a night where there were multiple amazing options for live music, this was surely the correct choice. What a great time!

Who else just googled “Mannix theme song” and recognized the result? #TheLastDriveIn #CityoftheDead @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @themutantfam.bsky.social

These real-life “witch” persecution stories are really fucking bumming me out. #TheLastDriveIn #CityoftheDead @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @therealjoebob123.bsky.social

I feel like at least 50% of the screen is pure black at any given time in this movie. #TheLastDriveIn @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @therealjoebob123.bsky.social

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we start burning witches again soon in America. #TheLastDriveIn #CityoftheDead @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @therealjoebob123.bsky.social

Fellow Tucsonans, please sign and share this petition in support of a couple of beloved businesses that are being forced out of their locations in favor of a soulless corporate entity.

Randomly stumbling upon a shit-hot performance like this (The Cottontails, in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood) is one of life’s greatest joys.

I’m so glad I worked my whole life to save for retirement only to watch it vanish in a puff of smoke because of the whims of an absolute madman. Thanks, Trump voters - I guess you really owned this lib. You can gloat about it when we’re all in the bread lines together.

Happy Birthday to music legend @kidcongopowers.bsky.social! Tucson, Arizona is lucky to have him as a resident.

Growing up with a glass eye drew bullies out of the woodwork on the daily. I can attest that bullies only understand one thing. The sooner people understand this, the better.

So far, every major action taken by this horror show of an administration has been in the service of causing harm to people they don’t like. They have no interest in improving anyone’s life. It’s about inflicting pain and suffering, nothing more. We told you, over and over: this is who they are.

@clueheywood.bsky.social I’m making margaritas as I patiently await the Friday Beers announcement.

A world without @therealjoebob123.bsky.social is no world I want to live in. #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social @themutantfam.bsky.social #ItsAWonderfulKnife

@therealjoebob123.bsky.social’s annual Christmas message always warms the cockles of this atheist’s heart. He’s such a good guy. @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social #TheLastDriveIn #JoeBobsChristmasCarnage @themutantfam.bsky.social

Such a wondrous, imaginative, heartwarming film. It’s like a Spielberg movie with full-frontal male nudity. @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social #TheLastDriveIn #RareExports #JoeBobsChristmasCarnage @themutantfam.bsky.social

…and they’re off! @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social #TheLastDriveIn #RareExports #JoeBobsChristmasCarnage @themutantfam.bsky.social

This guy’s whangdoodle is merely a precursor for the many, many upcoming whangdoodles. @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social #TheLastDriveIn #RareExports #JoeBobsChristmasCarnage @themutantfam.bsky.social

Everyone needs a friend like Vuppe. @therealjoebob123.bsky.social @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social #TheLastDriveIn #RareExports #JoeBobsChristmasCarnage @themutantfam.bsky.social

Well, I know what I’m doing the next time I’m in Helsinki. #TheLastDriveIn #JoeBobsChristmasCarnage #RareExports @themutantfam.bsky.social

It’s time for #TheLastDriveIn and #JoeBobsChristmasCarnage! I’m ready! #MutantFam

@themutantfam.bsky.social So glad the Mutant Fam has a presence here! I quit that other place for good. Looking forward to tonight’s special!

The most common reactions when I'm warning a pedestrian on the mixed-use path that I'm passing them on my bike: Me: "On your left" Them: (oblivious) Me: "On your left" Them: (thanks or acknowledgement) Me: "On your left" Them: (looks to the right) Me: "On your left" Them: (jumps out of their skin)

A scene from the long-lost 70s horror movie, THE MAN WITH TWO HEADS (ONE OF WHICH IS A CAT BUTT)

I see the sexbots have arrived.

@kidcongopowers.bsky.social and Clif Taylor performing as The Tangiers in Tucson last August.

I forgot about what’s coming for like three whole minutes after I woke up this morning. It was really nice.

My, what big teeth you have.

If only Republicans in elected office put as much furious self-righteous effort into feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and healing the sick as their God demanded of them as they do into making sure everyone uses the correct restroom. What a world that would be, huh?

Seen in Tucson. A-fucking-men.

Hey Arizona. Thank you for this, and for passing the abortion rights amendment. It's a sign that our state hasn't gone completely Neanderthal. Now go and sit in the fucking corner with your dunce cap on for helping put the perpetraitor back in the White House.

The Quarry in Bisbee, AZ

I call it a desperate yet ultimately futile attempt to delay the relentlessly encroaching existential dread of yet another soul-crushing workweek, you call it “Sunday Funday.”

How I can tell I’m getting old: 1.) I can’t read the writing on CD spines at the music store without my reading glasses. 2.) I’m at the music store looking at CDs.

Tucson sunset

For my first Bluesky post, please enjoy this closeup photo I recently took of a ravishing roadrunner in one of our mesquite trees.
