Getting irrationally excited putting together another 14-day treasure/scavenger hunt for the Milwaukee Film Festival. Some doozy clues!

how does this audio work so perfectly with PlayStation 1 graphics

I Photoshop Neel into things… Day 188 #StarWars

Parenting a tween is brutal stuff, but it's all worth it when said tween hears the phrase "Your ass is grass" for the first time and can't stop laughing.

New credit union

Listening to Brewers baseball (spring training) on the radio thank god

Milwaukee Record is a beer now! Again!

Fascinated by the existence of the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards and the fact they’re giving a Career Achievement Award to Adam Sandler.

I really loved every minute of the Winter Olympics. I found them fun, inspiring, and deeply moving. I totally bought into the “sport unites us” thing. Wonderful stuff.

This really is a great picture:

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

Just got teary-eyed watching cool-hair frenulum-pierced lol goofball figure skater Alysa Liu absolutely crush it to the Donna Summer version of "MacArthur Park"

I'm not sure why, but stenciling the Brewers logo on top of filled potholes is really, really funny to me.

I've once again fulfilled my solemn duty of organizing the Summerfest lineup into an easy-to-read format. The Spin Doctors go on at 7:30.

Good morning to everyone preparing to organize the Summerfest lineup into an easy-to-read format

One of my favorite Ebert lines, from his 1997 reappraisal of THE GRADUATE

Shorts galore

Annual shout-out to festivals that don't get cute with their lineup announcements and instead just say when they're gonna drop them and drop them then. (Eaux Claires 2026 had a local in-person reveal last night, but that's kind of fun. Public announcement is in 10 minutes.)

Milwaukee Record (okay, Tyler) created a new Milwaukee summer festival last summer and it was a huge success. And yep, it's happening again.

Belated shout-out to these extremely uncomfortable McDonald’s-ass bus seats

It’s wild how good this feels

Hi! I put together some old-school, no-frills, Milwaukee-focused forums called Read The Comments. They're for talking on the internet without having to deal with social media! (He says on social media, heh.) Register today! Talk amongst yourselves!

Only Olympics coverage I'm interested in

Experienced a true Wisconsin rarity this week when a bartender (politely, apologetically) informed a couple they couldn't bring their baby in the bar.

Pipe burstin’ on Downer

I always like “fix your hearts” because it (correctly) puts the onus on the individual, and it (correctly) suggests being a good person is both an action and an ongoing process. Anyway, I’m trying.

Just remembered a 16mm student film I did about my father and the last shot was him looking into the camera but then while film was running I gave him the camera and he filmed me and I was really proud of that idea and my professor was like "Your dad framed you better than you framed him."

Following a nearly hourlong discussion, the Licenses Committee approves a tavern & food license for Diaspora Sports Bar, a.k.a. the thing going into the old Company Brewing that everyone got mad about. Slightly shorter hours, active police officer no longer part of ownership group. Article soon.

Not to harp too much on this, but yeah. Seeing lots of deleted posts from folks who had "solid" sources yesterday.

The "ICE just booked 100 hotel rooms in Milwaukee!" thing is going around again. Remember:

R.I.P.

Tune in to What's Brewing Wisconsin today at 3 to see the wonderful Miss Wisconsin talk about her role as a state ambassador of education and goodwill, as well as her experience being the very first Black woman to wear the Miss Wisconsin crown. I'm on after that, talking about board games.

Just remembered walking home last night and there was a car in the middle of the road and the door was open and the driver was like "Hey Matt! How's it going, man?" and it was Mark Borchardt waiting for an Amazon truck to move so he could park outside Pizza Man.

Were we ever so young

2016 was a big year for me because it was the year I proudly served as spokesperson for Cousins Subs.

Dr. Good Score (For Me)

ANOTHER HOT FRIDAY NIGHT

Fish fry and Jeopardy at a bar = GOOD

Both gone a whole year.

Don't you hate when you look up a recipe or simple instructions and they're buried beneath a needlessly long personal story? Welcome to our "How-To Wisconsin" column, where we bury a recipe or simple instructions beneath a needlessly long personal story.

What year is this

All day breakfast

Nine days late, but once again my New Year's resolution is to go full goth.

Great new look. No notes.

My 2017 review of a Corey Feldman show makes a somewhat prominent appearance in a new Corey Feldman documentary, Corey Feldman vs The World. And yes, Corey Feldman suggests I'm "working for the dark side."

Another great N/A Day! Just one of the 8,000 original events we'll do this year! (And by "we," I mean "Tyler.") Find a handy list of our upcoming events below...

I’ve had three “How did they DO this?” video game moments in my life: my first time playing Super Mario Bros. for NES, my first time playing Breath Of The Wild for Switch, and now my first time playing Donkey Kong Bananza for Switch 2.

I enjoyed MARTY SUPREME. Went into it thinking it would be a “heartwarming sports movie” pivot from one of the guys who did GOOD TIME and UNCUT GEMS. Turns out it was EXACTLY the kind of movie one would expect from one of the guys who did GOOD TIME and UNCUT GEMS.
