Brilliant idea, MTA. Oh, and fuck you for doing this. www.timeout.com/newyork/news...

DVR alert! The oh-so-cheerful [sic] "Fat City" is on TCM at 10 tonight. Worth watching. #filmsky

Would have been Lou Reed's birthday today. Why not listen to Berlin, one of the most cheerful [sic] albums ever? #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y793...

The copy editor in me agrees.

This is rich: The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD! Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

I hate it when somebody posts something that compels me to answer and then I see they have the ability to comment shut off. Like, dude, why are you even here?

Stolen from a friend who claims today is International Polar Bear Day.

A 2-hour mix of music compiled by Thom Yorke that plays before Radiohead’s European shows. #musicsky www.mixcloud.com/thomyorke_/2...

Johnny Cash would have turned 94 today were he still alive.

30 years ago today, Nick Cave and PJ Harvey released their version of "Henry Lee" and good Lord, the video of them together is sexy. #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd6W...

Another from the God, _How_ Old? file: Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" was released 54 years ago today. #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQlM...

Daniel Murphy is not that bright and he's super Christian. He also makes for a shitty Mets announcer, and we're in for lots more of him this season, unfortunately.

Confuse your predestined friends.

Settling in for the very last Colbert live post-SOTU show. Sad, but I'm sure the laughs will help. #tvsky

Wishing SO HARD for a breakaway blood clot right now. #SOTU

If you're in or near NYC, this is your chance to see a bunch of Agnès Varda films on the big-ish screen. #filmsky filmforum.org/series/agnes...

If you want to break your heart, 'Umberto D." is on TCM in the overnight hours tonight, at 1:15 a.m. #filmsky

From the "Get more flies with honey" file, had to deal with Amazon chat, and at the end got this message from the guy at the other end:

Heard this one New Year's Eve driving through the frozen wasteland of Canada. Appropriate today too. #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGY_...

This view of the Statue of Liberty in the storm is super creepy right now. www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/...

Today I took a nap while listening to the Mets game. There's not many things better in this world than a Sunday afternoon baseball nap.

Edward Gorey would have turned 101 today.

Holy shit, Knicks! Come back from being down 18, win by 2. Their biggest comeback of the season! What a game!

42 years ago today, The Smiths released their debut self-titled album. This was the first single. #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiN-...

Springsteen tickets update: You Are Now in The Queue 249749 People Ahead of you Also: Tickets for this event have been priced in advance by the tour from $81.55 - $2,957.08, including service fees.

Stolen from a friend: The world is a raging fire swamp and bottomless pit of despair but TODAY, my friends, today and every day through the end of October, there is baseball.

Brilliant! #Mets apnews.com/article/mets...

Possibly my favorite photo of Kurt. He would have turned 59 today.

Fuckin' Knicks gotta get their shit together tonight. Quick.

Me trying to "explain" something about curling to my partner, realizing I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about: "Listen, I can only pretend to know so much about a sport."

So far the tone of "Lonesome Dove" reminds me of that of "Cold Mountain." Can anyone who's read both tell me if that continues throughout the book? #booksky

From "Ash Wednesday" by T.S. Eliot

Three chapters in and it looks like I'm doing this. "This" being going on the long ride that is reading "Lonesome Dove." #booksky

The Colbert-Talarico interview has 3.5 million views as of my writing this. And for once, the comments to it are refreshing and inspiring instead of a cesspool. #tvsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

There's any number of places Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" — whether done by him or not — should be banned. Figure skating is chief among them.

56 years ago today, too on the nose on Friday the 13th, Black Sabbath released their debut self-titled album. #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsXE...

Fuck the IOC. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

From a content farmer I follow, because every once in a long long while I'll actually learn something from him, like this.

Pitchers and catchers report today! Hurrah!

GET YOUR COLONOSCOPY, PEOPLE!!!

This is supposedly a photo Peter Falk took of his five Emmys for “Columbo” after he saw his wife was using the as wig stands. #tvsky

Came up in my Facebook Memories. I miss this l'il bastard.

USA mixed doubles curling just pulled one out of their butts to tie it up and force an extra end against South Korea (who's lost all their matches so far).

OK, if this subhead doesn't make you want to read the story, I just don't know: "An eccentric watch heiress wants to revoke her grandfather’s donation of Jean Cocteau artworks after the museum built to display them was overwhelmed by a freakish storm." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/a...

After long being equal parts intrigued and repelled by the mere idea of it, intrigued finally won out and I am eating a tuna salad-egg salad combo sandwich. I'm enjoying it! Though it's very salty.

Jesus. Where they’re holding the women’s speed skating just played “Sweet Caroline.” You let me down, Italy.

Goddamn Trump. Rooting for the USA in these Olympics just makes me feel kinda dirty this time out.

Woke up early on a Saturday for some stupid reason, but it's OK because it means I get to watch the US-Great Britain mixed doubles in curling. It's a big game; both teams are undefeated so far.
