@zzclaybourne.bsky.social thank you for reminding me of the wine-dark sea. I confess, I had forgotten about it.

If you are in L.A. , go see this exhibit! My friend's mother, Ofelia Esparza, is a force of nature and her art is so incredible and life-affirming.

A few nudges will get the needle moving on this.

Two weeks ago we lost a giant of the movie posters world, Renato Casaro. Today we lost a modern Master of movie posters: DREW STRUZAN. I can guarantee you have at least seen 5 of his posters in your lifetime. The man has put his art on some of the most popular movie franchises (Indiana Jones, 1/4

ONE MORE THING…

David Bowie's album "Heroes" was released on October 14, 1977

This reminds me of how David Lynch said he wanted to keep working but couldn’t because COVID posed too great a risk & people stopped being willing to mask up to protect others. Ableism is an insidious evil in society & healthcare. It convinces us to abandon each other for profit & convenience.

#SciFi #book #nerds Some help? I'm really in the mood for a SciFi book that is themed around alien archeology, mystery, a bit like how Prometheus could have been, or Halo or Mass Effect. If possible, less emphasis on military yawn and avoiding misogyny.

I'll be attending @philconconvention.bsky.social next month, November 21–23, participating on programming and whatever else I can stumble into. philcon.org

From weekend road trip. Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Oh, Nighthawks. Said it many times; not a huge fan of live LPs. But listening to a young Waits perform in front of a small crowd is a real treat. This is where his voice got hoarse, a bit rougher. Many highlights but Warm Beer and Cold Women is immortal; basically the soundtrack to my early 20s.
