America (dir. Robert Downey, 1986) deserves an award for the worst movie title card of all time!

Post-run workout.

I have been listening to and watching a lot of Thatcher Era music and movies. It’s oddly comforting. I know not why.

Unpopular opinion, but one I’ll never let go: Handing out stickers infantilizes the democratic progress. Carve I VOTED in your forehead like a diehard patriot.

Today I'm powering through shitdeo editing by listening to Mexican disco music from the 70s-90s Who had that in their prediction markets? Who could have imagined this 10, 20, 40 years ago? www.nts.live/shows/the-nt...

Helping my kid file her taxes and watching her grow into an Anarcho-communist at the same time.

Forgot to take a post run pic, so here is me on the couch, icing my body, and wondering if I am a good friend for running with a friend while he trains or if I am a late blooming masochist.

When a 1980 British film feels too much like present day America…

Cribbage night!

Last week was an anomaly. Now back to our regularly scheduled Thursday madness.

It's April 1st 2025 and they are sending astronauts back to the moon. Or so they say... But, 48 years ago Alternative 3 was launched or rather broadcasted. Alternative 3 was a BBC mockumentary about a secret gov. program to fight climate change. (more...) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alterna...

“(Every Day is) April Fool’s Day” is the Ministry parody we need Weird Al to pen for our post-truth era.

Gary Sánchez playing to the hometown crowd

First game of the season! Brewers vs. Rays. My heart is torn.

I think 1970s ambient music is the only thing holding back a total psychotic breakdown. I'm asking a lot of minimalism, right now.

Designing art for a cassette and I needed reference material.

Meta

To err is human. To Air Bud is canine. Saying this out loud got me banished from my family.

5K to chase the blues away. Then ran into a neighbor and we decided to try and count the ways the world feels fucked, so maybe I need to run 5 more.

Mashed

Me before therapy: The only constant is change…for the worse. Me after therapy: For the worse, change is constant.

A rough couple of days, but got this nice stash from @marc-fischer.bsky.social

Watching experimental films prepared me for home maintenance. No Draino (2026 dir. Ryan Sarnowski) Sound up!

Your own inflatable Jesus

I am getting real good at ignoring most new music and movies. If there are great now, they’ll be even greater 5 years from now. If media doesn’t age like cheese or wine, it’s probably just hype.

Sending ICE to airports sounds a lot like retaining the Hell’s Angels to work security at a rock ‘n’ roll festival. What could go wrong

One day you are outside running in shorts. The next day you are in long Johns. Wisconsin springs will choke the hope out of ya.

bambi meets godzilla (1969)

Every self-help app wants to be a new religion when it grows up.

If Bluey celebrates Easter does this imply that some time back in the Bluey universe a dog was crucified for Bluey’s sins?

First run of the year for the Fountains of Intelligence slowass running group is in the books. Topics covered: Genealogy, conscription, and Tommy Westphall

I'm kinda geeking out about genealogy. This could be a mid-life crisis thing or more proof that my true calling was private investigator.

Citizens of hell, put on your sweaters. metro.co.uk/2026/03/20/a...

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Laugh all you want about modern trends to give kids unique names with weird spellings, but I'm doing some genealogical research and every other relative is named James or Mary. It's making shit hard to keep straight!

Ya see, America only promises the pursuit of happiness. It's a goal always out of reach. Ya just gotta keep hustling, keeping tugging those boot-straps. No wonder we are all so tired. finlandtoday.fi/finland-reig...

Mo’ Thursdays. Mo’ Problems.

I've been entrusted to not tell anyone about the big music acts playing this year's annual meeting. Now, I'm trying to figure out how I turn this knowledge into profit on Polymarket or Kalshi. This is the premise of my Office Space sequel.

20 years ago, today, I married the woman who stole my heart. She has yet to give it back. I'm fine with that.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. If you thought snakes were bad… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hibernating

DJ Chrysanthemum setting the mood

Really hoped this song wouldn’t be relevant again, but ‘Merica is gonna ‘Merica m.youtube.com/watch?v=6fDG...

It's a shame about Uncle Ray's www.newsweek.com/lowes-foods-... But you know, if you put your faith in those bible quotes on the back their bags you might be saved from kneeling before the porcelain god.

In the film/video world, the word “producer” does not imply they are pros or professional. Many are strictly bush league.

Cribbage last night. 24 points for the win.

It’s parent-teacher conference tonight and if I have learned anything from being the spouse of an overworked teacher it is to just leave a bottle of wine on the kitchen counter and stay out of those house.

Would someone please tell @billorcutt.bsky.social to chill with the kickass releases. My music budget can only handle so much.

Add it the stack “Jesus taught me the joy of calling out pious religious frauds,” John Fugelsang says, “and I’d like to show you how rewarding it can be”

I rarely have dreams, or at least ones I remember, but last night I dreamt I was at a coffee shop and this band was playing to bunch of immigrant moms and their toddlers. The my dream got glitchy, like a scrambled cable channel. I blame the pinched nerve in my neck www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhKe...

Hey sports fans. I'm excited to announce a new project called Winter Sports. It's a 6x9 catalogue of photographs documenting the way snows transforms Wisconsin sports and rec facilities into meditative or whimsical works of art. www.threshingmedia.com/tmc-001
