GROUNDHOG DAY and CLUELESS may be the most delightful romantic comedies not in black and white and they were both more than 30 years ago now. Who wants to suggest something as good that is more recent? And if you say LOVE ACTUALLY I will poke your eye out with a sharp stick

Now I've got two days of the week covered

"Turkey in the Straw." Would you rather hear this for an hour, or some feckless Dem pretending it's worth everyone's while to respond to the sewage out of Trump's mouth turd by turd? Much like Homer Simpson this is playing in my head at all times so I recuse myself from answering

This line from Jane Austen makes me think whoever is delivering the D response to the SOTU, instead of trying to reply like a normal human being, should just play a 60-minute loop of "Turkey in the Straw." I mean, don't AGREE, just don't engage

The Supreme Court just gave immunity to any post office that, for example, intentionally fails to deliver mail-in ballots

For many years when we weren’t on the road, Bobby and I would arrange for a catch-up dinner at Musso and Frank Grill in Hollywood. We’d order steaks and spend hours talking. Reminiscing, sure, but mainly talking about our kids and how lucky we were. Forty years of friendship. I’ll miss you, man.

Very disappointed by this. Seattle library "security chief" Andrea Walton making libraries unsafe spaces, forcing librarians to harass and bar homeless. There are definitely problem cases at local libraries but the librarians by and large work from an empathetic standpoint, but Walton wants cruelty

Today's CluesBySam.com game seems to also be playing the Maybe It Will Happen Today game

10 authors I’ve read 10 or more books from Skipping your list (King, Anthony, Vonnegut) I'd say: Dr. Seuss Robert Arthur (Three Investigators) Edward Packard (Choose Your Own Adv.) Robert Asprin Craig Shaw Gardner Alan Dean Foster Stephen R. Donaldson Joe Lansdale Robert Jordan Jonathan Carroll

I just learned Gavin Newsom's direct predecessor as SF Mayor was Willie Brown. I saw Brown give a speech live once, in which he talked about taking endorsement $ from big tobacco, but he just straight-up told us "I took their cash and sided against them anyway." I'd vote for Pres. Brown. Fuck Gavin

ROBOCOP (1987)

The great James Hong is 97 years old today.

TIRED: Still being mad Milana Vayntrub didn't get to be Squirrel Girl WIRED: Still being mad Hannah Simone didn't get to be the Greatest American Hero (Just kidding it's still wired to be mad about Squirrel Girl too)

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

You know what, JFK? I've kept quiet long enough. I'm gonna go ahead and ask: What can my country do for me?

RECENT READING Rich Tommaso, DRY COUNTY. The 1st work I've read by @richtommaso.bsky.social and I immediately want more. A '90s GenX take on a Florida crime thriller (the main character reads a Carl Hiaasen book), full of era-specific detail and "hard-boiled" doofuses in over their heads. Very fun!

More left-handed handshaking. DRY COUNTY #4, Rich Tommaso @richtommaso.bsky.social

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE. And this is what they called it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...

RECENT READING Jane Austen, SENSE & SENSIBILITY. England in the 1790s, when being sad while wearing wet socks was nearly a death sentence! I loved it except the resolution between Marianne & Col. Brandon, which is on page 294 of 295. Marry this old dude you don't like because peer pressure! Gross

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

I just had to jump through SO many hoops and maneuver around SO many dead ends to make sure my Amazon Music free trial was not set to auto-renew. I AM USING A FUCKING AMAZON FIRE TABLET, THIS SHOULD NOT BE SO UNNECESSARY DIFFICULT. If they throw this many roadblocks up for Amazon tablets... Yikes

Of all the ways I DIDN'T expect the internet to fail me today, the worst is the apparent absence of a good Dave the Barbarian "BEJABBERS" gif

Not from my district fortunately but how thrilling it is to have a Washington state congressperson take such brave stands pro-ICE and anti-sea lion. Enjoy getting primaried

Remember the Six Dollar Burger? Carl's Jr. sold it as a restaurant quality burger at a $3.95 fast food cost. But they actually wanted to get you used to saying "Six Dollar Burger" so they could hike it to $6 for real and for good. Anyway, I'm sure the Supreme Court tariffs ruling will lower prices

Still reading SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. I love it, especially the sarcastically polite put-downs. This is probably my favorite line so far.

It is just non-stop with him today, how is he not dead yet

If I were to list the most important things this account stands for, it would be: 1) ROBOCOP is awesome 2) "Won't Get Fooled Again" is awesome 3) Snoopy is awesome 4) Libraries are awesome 5) Steely Dan sucks #5 maybe has never been text, but it is always subtext

If you count where another movie is merely quoted... In ROBOCOP, on the video Clarence plays before he kills Bob Morton, Dick Jones says, "The fight for love and glory." Maybe the only way to make ROBOCOP better is if CASABLANCA is nested in it

I am about to aggressively nap, like if you aren't also napping your feelings should be hurt. Soundtrack: JAGGED LITTLE PILL

CHECK OUT BOOKS AT THE LIBRARY, LIBRARIES ARE THE BEST

I may have posted this before but here is Neil Young basically trying with a story to convince a crowd that he is about to play a good song, and then he plays "Old Man" from HARVEST, one of the best songs ever from one of the best albums ever. OH MY GOD WHEN HE HITS THAT CHORUS OH MY GOD

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19 Taking a different tack maybe from others: Neil Young's HARVEST came out when I was 1, but I was 19 at college when I first heard it beginning to end and it absolutely changed music for me. Top ten album

Seattle people: did you see it?? IT FUCKING SNOWED. It lasted about five minutes, right about 11:10am, and it melted immediately, but it snowed dammit. That's literally all I wanted this winter: one sweet moment of snow in my face, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. (I'm in Bellevue, your micro-climate may vary)

Olympics Dog was chasing the motorized camera they have to capture the competitors at the finish line, then decided to chase some competitors instead

-- THE END --

You know very well it's my saxophone, Bruce

Fun detail from a meta-spreadsheet in issue #4 of SUPERMAN: THE KRYPTONITE SPECTRUM (W. Maxwell Prince, Martin Morazzo): a note referring to Mr. Mxyzptlk that says "It's weird if you DON'T hear Gilbert Gottfried." Gottfried of course was the voice of Mxy on SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES

You know very well it's my saxophone, Bruce

Posting this just so I remember to play it again

It is WILD that people are having such strong opinions about cheating in Olympic curling and even WILDER that I immediately have taken sides to the point of blocking accounts

I don't have time for this bullshit!

I wonder what that's like

Watched the latest STARFLEET ACADEMY. It's certainly... *something* to watch Paul Giamatti act at Holly Hunter for such long stretches. It can't even be judged by quality, merely quantity. It's not the best acting, but it's undoubtedly the MOST acting.
