Lab technician Karen Silkwood’s high-stakes battle against energy giant Kerr-McGee is depicted in the highly-praised Silkwood – which opened today in 1983. Directed by Mike Nichols, Meryl Streep stars as title character caught in a David vs Goliath struggle. Cher also delivers a sterling performance

@orendabooks.bsky.social I’ve finished The Darkest Winter and I am ready to learn more about De Luca. What are your plans?

@bobinboulder.bsky.social A question just for you!

Avs win and everyone is buying a hotdog. 🌭

A Charlie Brown Christmas debuted on CBS this evening in 1965. Director Bill Melendez provides new depth to the characters of Peanuts. The show’s hint of melancholy is true to the tone cartoonist Charles Schultz long gave to his comic strip. Vince Guaraldi’s jazz score is one of the ages.

@rogerthedodger.bsky.social An interesting story of Dylan playing in prison but mostly for just one guy.

Got my Christmas tree up!

Landeskog scores first because he’s Captain Daddy and is accustomed to going to work at odd hours of the day to take care of his kids. #AvsPsychic #GoAvsGo

Landeskog scores first because he played for Patrick Roy at one time and they made it to the playoffs (I curse the Wild, especially Matt Cooke!) #AvsPsychic #GoAvsGo

This Denver sushi counter is one of Esquire’s best new restaurants, and a crowning achievement for its chef

Yikes! @rogerthedodger.bsky.social

Rapist Cal Foote is playing professional hockey again. Sorry Canes fans. Looks like we (me being a VGK fan) will both inevitably be in the same boat 😮‍💨

i'm also thinking about how the vision of the president as articulated by unitary executive theorists — a singular, vigorous individual — is belied by the simple observation that the presidency is an institution of many moving parts, with various people exercising power on behalf of the president

Watch how the Altitude TV as well as a Slovak and Czech channels mentioned us yesterday on their broadcasts. Thank you, March, Johnny and Altitude TV! #Avs

My friend just sent me this video about how Buffalo Sabres co-work with their Czechoslovak fan club. Wow! Isn’t that awesome? www.nhl.com/sabres/video...

Discussion at dinner was about how MaryAnn made coconut cream pie for Gilligan.

@avspodcast.bsky.social Captain had them ready today, didn’t he?

You could win a box of MacKinnon Crunch!

Whenever I see/hear someone referring to a group of people as an ilk I’m reminded of the old joke about deer growing up to be elk. 🦌

Sure, my parents have a lot of Ralston Purina stuff but I have this

As today is Thanksgiving here in the US it is constitutionally mandated that you listen to Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice's Restaurant Massacree” at least once. Sorry. I don’t make the rules. 🤷‍♀️

I have cut apart the turkey and my job is done. The youngest child is in full control of the kitchen.

Between periods at the Avalanche game, fans were entertained by a guest DJ. The fan next to me was not impressed and told me the DJ sounded like a guy from a 1980s Vegas lounge act. I marveled that the DJ was able to turn Pink Floyd into a dance band. #GoAvsGo

@kahuna.bsky.social Probably a turkey of a game

Landeskog has a bigger boat and scores first #AvsPsychic #GoAvsGo

@rogerthedodger.bsky.social Your wife likes to go to the french fry restaurant, right? Some fried fish, some cut up pommes de terre, some frites. I have no idea what happened to the New York Times.

Regarded as one of his best, Yusuf/Cat Steven’s 4th studio lp – Tea for the Tillerman – was released today in 1970. Produced by Paul Samwell-Smith, it was his first lp to make an impression in the U.S. – peaking at #8 on the lp charts. Tunes like “Wild World” & “Father and Son” are among his finest.

(And patches are a common bit of punctuation in games.) So basically: my handheld games console (SteamDeck) has updated my favourite Dungeons & Dragons-based game (Baldur’s Gate III) and the update itself temporarily broke the game (also surprisingly common…)

I thought you meant Bowser

These are good books.

plus a sidebar on Cher!

@dicknixon.bsky.social Do you know anything about this book? I saw it at the library.

It's Rebecca Yarros Fourth Wing night at Ball Arena. There are A LOT of fans here for that, and it makes me VERY HAPPY that people are reading books.

@rogerthedodger.bsky.social Are you aware of any organizations that provide more information or support for people with essential tremor?

@rogerthedodger.bsky.social You are going to be surprised

No Dice – released today in 1970 on Apple – likely is the best album Badfinger ever made. Produced by Geoff Emerick & Mal Evans, “No Matter What” & “Without You” got much attention (especially when Nilsson recorded the latter in 1971) but “We’re for the Dark” & “I Can’t Take It” are also splendid.

C’mon pull the goalie

Oilers don’t play defense , do they?

Most of Lou Reed’s (1942-2013) music had a New York City flavor, but it didn’t get much more Big Apple than his Transformer lp – released today in 1972. Produced by the stellar duo of David Bowie & Mick Ronson, the album (improbably) had a charting single – “Walk on the Wild Side” (#16 pop, U.S.).

Time for my occasional repost of this one youtu.be/OLkPwxcIji0?...

It’s a key album in the group’s evolution but is frequently overlooked in their catalog. Meddle (released in the U.S. today in 1971) marked a notable moment in Pink Floyd retooling its approach to songwriting & playing – which would bear more fruit on future albums. “Echoes” is Meddle’s high point.

@kylec.bsky.social Thanks for staying up late to report on local election results.

MIDNIGHT UPDATE: Moderate/Dem-backed candidates are currently sweeping every school board race in conservative Douglas County, Colorado (home to a famous school voucher experiment). Would give moderates total 7-0 control of the school board. #copolitics
