Mega-City One called, it wants its bullshit back.

Birthday presents from my family. Kinda like they know what I enjoy, huh?

Thought we had to go to Atlanta to see Fackham Hall tonight, but it’s playing in town after all, saving us the trip. Also playing is the new Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, and the teens showing up in hats, masks, and all kinds of silly merch is honestly adorable.

This trailer is indeed an amazing delight. If you ever enjoyed Davison’s time in the TARDIS, this is a must-watch!

Well, my calendar's updated! #athensga

Happy birthday to the incomparable Jack Davis! One of EC's mainstays, and the artist on the infamous "Foul Play" from Haunt of Fear in 1953. This one sent Dr. Wertham into a rage. In the 1960s & 70s Davis became one of the most sought after magazine cover illustrators. I used to collect them!

I don’t know why MARTA bothers. Everyone calls this station Omni

My son asked “Why does this town have places called Athentic, Athica, and Atheneum? It’s confusing.” I replied that I have no idea and promptly drove to the wrong damn place for a holiday market, proving his point. Anyway, here are some soup dumplings that we had for supper.

Without wishing to spoil things, I'll just say that I'm sure I share all of Fire-Breathing Dimetrodon Time readers' pleasure and satisfaction at seeing this beloved location returning to television again this weekend. #iykyk #easteregg

Talkin’ out of turn? That’s a paddlin’.

Lunch today at the new BurgerFi outlet on Baxter. The falafel slider is pretty good.

Friends, if you haven’t gone region-free yet, today’s the least expensive way to get a very reliable player!

Introduce yourself with five bands/artists you've seen multiple times: Bryan Ferry Bob Dylan Echo & the Bunnymen of Montreal The Opal Foxx Quartet

You can all stop looking for the most Athens, GA 1991 photo ever taken, I’ve found it.

The way that these posters on my @letterboxd.social watchlist lined up makes me smile. It looks like And Now the Screaming Starts is ripping down the bottom of the poster above it!

I sincerely love this for her.

Early one morning while making’ the rounds, I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down…

Happy Doctor Who Day, friends.

About once a year, I order the Grill’s feta dressing, once amazing and, these days, emphatically not, hoping it’s as good as it once was and leaving disappointed. I’ll still stand by this excellent pepper supreme burger, but I guess I should accept the feta I loved isn’t coming back.

If you enjoy my food writing, you know I love Calvin Trillin’s story of the fellow who’d stop at Kresge’s for a chili dog on his way to lunch. Inspired, we took a walk this morning, then stopped by Billy Meadows for a chili dog on the way to lunch. #BBQ #athensga

Happy anniversary to the Max Headroom incident, the greatest example of signal hijacking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Hea...

I expect that as a Republican member of a school board, Teresa Crosslin is probably a terrible person, but “Fuck you, make me” was indeed the correct response to these moral scolds in Clarksville.

RIP Mani. Just the opening bassline to the instrumental half of this alone... open.spotify.com/track/5ikdUU...

A Doctor Who sad realization: in "The Power of the Doctor" both Tegan & Ace see their versions of the Doctor as older holographic projections. Which means, Tegan & Ace both probably think their Doctors lived nice long lives before regenerating.

A 3-way for lunch at the Hi-Lo this afternoon. They don’t normally use quite this much cheese, but I’m glad they did!

Our friend Marilyn, who we haven’t seen in ages, was in town and we took her to Maepole for lunch. Tonight, we’re at Preacher Green’s and this might be the planet’s absolute best chicken sandwich.

Tear it down, octopi. Tear it all down.

I guess one advantage to Flashback not showing any old movies that I want to watch for the rest of the year is that we won’t have to see the godawful trailer for that godawful Cat in the Hat movie until 2026.

Farewell to a titan! We just watched Ran yesterday morning, and that is one hell of a performance.

To celebrate Richard Burton’s centenary, I’m watching BOOM! today. It’s beginning as bonkers as I’ve read.

Happy to announce my availability for the post of BBC Director-General. I know you expect “More Doctor Who” to be part of my manifesto, but no, it’s simply this: when trolls insist the BBC not be mean to Trump / Farage, my response will be: “Fuck you, make me.” This will make the BBC 200% better.

This is what happens when you try to shoot Daffy Duck and he puts his finger in the barrel of your gun.

Tear it down, carnivorous death ball. Tear it all down.

I really didn’t enjoy Sanshiro Sugata part two (1945, Kurosawa’s fourth film) very much, but I loved this dude’s trash talk.

We’re in Atlanta to see that guy who was in Wings in the seventies.

Early supper tonight at Marietta Diner.

Enjoying a big, greasy sandwich at the Rum Cake Lady in McCaysville GA.

Tear it down, rhesus monkeys. Tear it all down.

When I was 10, I imagined not only having a "Shogun Warrior" of my favorite giant robot, Grandizer, but also his launching spaceship. I learned today there actually was one in the 1970s! It was a ride-on toy for preschoolers! Source: robotjapan.proboards.com

This Sichuan hot pot at New Red Bowl is really terrific. I could eat this daily.

Lunch today in Madison GA at Crowe’s #BBQ. Excellent as always, but too much pork for just one fork!

Last night I had a Jack Ryan dream, in which Jack Ryan, played by Harrison Ford, was doing Jack Ryan things, and I hoped that he failed.

Oooh, my Daiei Gothic volume 2 set from @filmsradiance.bsky.social arrived today!

John Saxon: Blood Beach, Nightmare Beach, Nightmare on Elm Street. I realized this two nights ago and have been giggling about it since.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed
