Every time I'm in a coffeeshop and stranger sitting next to me asks me to watch their laptop while they go to the bathroom, I think, (a) how nice that they see me as a trustworthy person, and (b) are they really expecting me to chase a thief and kick his ass?

Last night I went to a random #TriviaNight, ended up teaming up with the quizmaster's mother, and we won. I'm living the life, friends.

Thank you, @brucespringsteen.net. There is no one like him, there is no place like America… www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZHW...

Ridiculous fun talking #trivia w/Jeremy Cahnmann of @brainbash.bsky.social, on his QUIZZING IN AMERICA podcast. I discuss Big Quiz Thing history + my trivia philosophy, and then challenge him to some of the BQT's greatest hits. Listen, subscribe, etc.

I don’t think I’ve once listened to “Hotel California” voluntarily, but I nonetheless seem to know every word of the lyrics.

I've known it intimately for decades, but I'm once again struck by this song, Rush's single best ever (IMO). It's a unique, fascinating, unbelievably awesome rock song… open.spotify.com/track/4e9hUi...

Ten intense hours of quizmastering over the past three days (buzzer-only format). Sharing my art (yes, it is) with people, creating guilt-free fun, adjusting on the fly as the situation demands. My health challenges fade away, the world seems to make sense. This is when I feel most alive.

Today @duolingoverde.bsky.social taught me that in Spanish, John Cena’s name means “John Dinner.”

Last night's dream: My TV game show was back in production, but midway through taping one episode, I was replaced as host by Richard Dawson. #gameshows

TOMORROW: A rare chance to play the Big Quiz Thing for free, as I quizmaster a virtual game to test our new answer system. Join us at 6pm ET/3pm PT; RSVP to [email protected]…

Tonight at the theater. Sounds like something the Times would say.

It's a lot more emotion than detail, but this paragraph (courtesy @simonwdc.bsky.social's Hopium newsletter) really sums up my feelings these days. #LiberalPatriot

Blondie encapsulated so much of what makes rock & roll awesome: Killer hooks, fierce energy, style, and a solid beat. And we have the great #ClemBurke to thank for the latter. #RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J_z...

#HandsOff #SanFrancisco

It's like The Dating Game but almost completely different: @billscurry.bsky.social and I pump air into the #YouTube phenomenon that's soon coming to @netflix.com — POP THE BALLOON OR FIND LOVE—in the latest episode of I DON'T GET IT @noahandbillshow.bsky.social #PopTheBalloon shorturl.at/PkFcL

Will forever be my favorite #ValKilmer movie moment… #RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGcz...

Coincidence? Mishearing? Joke? Trying to figure out what happened here. @philzcoffee.bsky.social

Your favorite quizmaster superhero geek returns to The Fire and Water Podcast Network (@fwpodcasts.bluesky.social), chatting with the brilliant Chris & Cindy Franklin about one of the final episodes of JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED. fireandwaterpodcast.com/podcast/jluc...

Upside of a rainy day: A cool snail outside my front door. #mollusks

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility to all my friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens who are living their truth. Trans rights = freedom.

Compare the reaction to this to the response to “deplorable” or “garbage beliefs.” The media’s rightward slant (and the D party’s lack of killer instinct) will doom us all.

Fantastic to see #JessicaKirson at #TheMasonicSF. Must have seen her perform a thousand times during her early stand-up days, so happy to see she’s grown into one of the best in the business. #Comedy

Guy in the BART station, yelling into his hands-free phone “Why would I lie?” and “Because I’m smarter than you.”

All set up for this month’s @sisterdistrictsf.bsky.social postcard writing event, encouraging #Virginia to #VoteBlue

Except it’s not.

GREAT West Coast Leadership Workshop with Sister District Project yesterday. Particularly like our plans to meet this insane political moment with action, intelligence, and integrity. @sisterdistrictsf.bsky.social @sd-southbay.bsky.social

A whole new way of obsessing over the physical appearance of entertainers: The GlamBOT. Join @billscurry.bsky.social and me as we explore the red-carpet phenomenon on the latest episode of I DON’T GET IT @noahandbillshow.bsky.social m.soundcloud.com/user-1214754...

Good lord. I'm generally more pro-Newsom than a lot of other CA Democrats, but this is horseshit. With everything of beyond-pressing importance in the world, the fact that this issue is discussed at a national level proves how infantile MAGA grievance has infected out politics.

Question about the song "Summertime Blues": Why is the kid's Congressman at the United Nations? #SongLyrics

Given a choice between watching the #StateOfTheUnion and getting thwacked in the nuts with a polo mallet, I'd have to give it some thought. I'm going to spend tonight at an organizing meeting for @sisterdistrictsf.bsky.social. #FightBack

I rode in a #Waymo for the first time and it was really strange.

Excellent column today from @playtyperguy.com (with his usual awesome pop culture references) about the Faustian bargain that way too many voters made with the Orange Felon.

Can you feel the power of love? @broadwaysf.bsky.social

My favorite New York Dolls song. #DavidJohansen #RIP youtu.be/Df7uTt-vQ8U?...

"Have you said thank-you once?" Fucking dictator-loving whiners… www.cbc.ca/news/world/a...

You know you love it: @billscurry.bsky.social and I explore the miserable-rich-people phenomenon that is #TheWhiteLotus on @hbomax.bsky.social, on the latest episode of I DON’T GET IT @noahandbillshow.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Please don't buy anything tomorrow.

Probably my favorite #GeneHackman scene… #RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=YglI...

Great video from @activateamerica.bsky.social, emphasizing why the decimation of #USAID is a heartless (and pointless), anti-American travesty: www.activateamerica.vote/savechildren

At the #NoeValleyNightMarket, recruiting volunteers for @sisterdistrictsf.bsky.social. DO IT! #SanFrancisco #NoeValley #VoteBlue

They’ll still grovel before their almighty cult leader. They have less spine than a sea anemone.

Just won a pub quiz for the first time in eons. (I don’t play them very often these days.)

Automated voice on #MuniSf puts the emphasis on “Street” when announcing “Powell STREET.” As opposed to Powell Boulevard? Powell Expressway?

Starting on my annual batch of fresh LGBTQ trivia content, and man, it's a lot harder this year—too many depressing cultural developments that have no place in a fun and affirming (not to mention corporate-friendly) quiz event. #LGBTQTrivia #Trivia #TriviaQuestions

The King of Power Pop, PAUL COLLINS, at Kilowatt SF.

Playing bingo for the first time in many decades.

Inspired by the latest ep of #Film89podcast (featuring @skyemovies.bsky.social and @billscurry.bsky.social), I rewatched one of my early-20s favorites. Never stops rewarding repeat viewings: open.spotify.com/embed-podcas...
