Been a minute since I've streamed, but thought I'd test out some new equipment with some casual HITMAN Freelancer missions. Come hang out if you'd like!

There are ways to not buy into this. bsky.app/profile/jayi... I am going to do a tutorial on how I did this (it's pretty easy)

Oh wow, we need to update the lead poisoning chart meme immediately

Sight & Sound: Film - I had to learn filmmaking by working with 8mm film, using cameras so old they said "Made in West Germany" on the side, and editing with razor blades & tape on a Steenbeck. Gave me a grounding and respect for the craft I don't think I would have had from digital only learning.

Imagine being nearly 80 years old and deciding that you want your last act in public life to be an embarrassing primary loss against a military veteran who already beat you to the pulse of your state's people. And all because Graham Platner might force Chuck Schumer to work for five minutes.

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

I know the tendency these days is to analyze everything as 4D Chess, but in WaPo's case, this has always been the goal. It's the Zaslav Strategy: take a venerable pillar of media or journalism and scrap it for parts.

This December 11th, wish the Italian-Americans in your life a Happy La Guardia Day

"......did I leave the iron on?"

This is Final Destination erasure

Win or lose, I have long accepted that the Mariners play an elevated form of the sport of baseball where distinctions like success or failure mean very little. Their existence itself is enlightened by freedom from constraint. (That said, without a dog in the fight, I am all in on the Mariners)

Love seeing friends try new things. Send some positive vibes if you're so inclined :)

We also don't talk enough about Brian Blessed being one of the most ardent believers in the existence of the yeti alive today

Good for Ros. Took way too long for a team to sign him, but he gets to contribute immediately to another Cup contender. Wishing him the best in Alberta.

Wrote a 36-page research paper on the Russo-Finnish War in 16 hours. This included physically having to do the research in that timeframe, including a literal trip to an archive. Still got an A.

What's funny is that modern American authors probably pick this anxiety up from the work of Gordon Lish, who was notorious for cutting up to half the words in some stories submitted to Esquire. He even did this to Raymond Carver. But few editors have ever gone as far as Lish did, and most never will

I know Clemson grads who will consider inducing this statement from UNC Athletics as their university's greatest achievement, and I'm not going to correct them.

For the sake of comparison, bison are literally the size of a large Jeep. My dad and I once came across a herd in Custer National Park, and if one of them had wanted to destroy our car, it would have had no issue doing so.

The last human will die alone.

In other news, "Caniacs" will now be known as Canecels. We must all join the Canecel Culture. (This is just so bad)

It will never cease to amaze me that all the money in the world ended up in the hands of people who have no idea what "scarcity" means, let alone how to solve for it.

That "to" is now on the list of social media grammar errors that will haunt me forever.

Reminds me of the how Akira Kurosawa learned he won the Golden Lion in 1951 for Rashomon. Quick story for y'all! While he thought the film was a flop, a woman named Giuliana Stramigioli, who was President of Italifilm (and a huge weeb) insisted it be Japan's entry at the Venice Film Festival. 1/4

Literally popped in my head the moment I woke up, and I have no idea why.

The Phantom's Revenge is the greatest electronic artist you've never heard of. 17 years later, my jaw is still on the floor. Ahead of his time by decades.

(As an aside, find me a better group name than Ron Hall & The MuthaFunkaz)

Gift of Gab and Chief Xcel were special together in a way that few musicians ever will be

This song hits, and I think about every friend I've ever had

Yeah, we're calling this the Tom Jones Award

With love and respect to James Taylor, Richie Havens took his work and adapted it into a song that could reach the hardest heart:

Have a few I keep in my head, but the one that seems to suit my voice the best is Plush by Stone Temple Pilots

Cut to George Orwell nodding

There's definitely some areas you could find fault with (Mid-Atlantic should be two regions, as one example: Greater Philadelphia & The DMV), but I really dig some of the touches. Raleigh being right on the border of Old Piedmont & New Piedmont in particular feels extremely accurate

As we all know, it's by getting Mr. Jensen to say, "That's very good, Frank, keep it up," at the CCA management review meeting when announcing projected earnings for the network.

Honestly, it makes a sick sort of sense in football. Most guys who get to the league have been playing the sport or training for it year-round for anywhere from 11-15 years before they even hit the NFL. A year sabbatical must do wonders for healing the body.

Tiny Tim - Living in the Sunlight

*puts tinfoil hat on* Might be a good time for Americans to learn that the biggest development in the world of petroleum over the last 15 years was the discovery of massive reserves in Guyanese waters, and that the US government is attacking Venezuela because both want Guyana's petroleum.

Off the top of my head? Everything, Everywhere, All At Once SINNERS Killers of the Flower Moon Puss N' Boots: The Last Wish Prey The Zone of Interest Top Gun: Maverick Dune Pt. 1 The Brutalist The Boy and the Heron Triangle of Sadness Not been a terrible decade for film, just a lean one.

I'll beat this point into the ground again and again if I have to, but watching young kids losing their whole paycheck to gambling addictions today feels like watching the tragedy of my generation destroying itself with opioids all over again. I hate sports betting apps deep in my soul.

I'm not huge on college football, but they have the right overtime rules for the sport and have for some time now.
