About the only local pop-culture facing thing about Eliot being a St. Louisan by birth is his star on the U-City Loop / St. Louis Walk of Fame

Time for all the Joe Buck extra inning apocalyptic sun memes!

Very much so. :)

Finally got around to watching two movies I've been meaning to see for a while: Speed Racer and then also The Fall.

Might be two of the most visually important, groundbreaking, and unique films of all time. They hit US theaters less than two weeks apart in Spring, 2008.

October. The only month we are guaranteed NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL games all taking place. Maybe the best sports month of the year.

I kept wondering if Lafleur or Love thought they were operating under the Super Bowl OT rules from a couple of years ago when the Chiefs beat the 49ers and the clock running down the OT period really didn't matter as long as the Chiefs were in possession.

Kaleb Horton was a wonderful, wonderful writer, and a lovely person to talk to, and someone gone many decades before he should be. High lonesome California’s best. RIP.

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

RIP Kaleb Horton

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

A signed photo of Jim Henson. He's relaxing, leaning back with his hand against his face. He loved life, and wanted us to as well.

Today, as you remember Jim Henson, go do something silly.

Trust me, Jim would want you to!

Happy 89th, Jim. We still miss you. /16

Some food for munching, if you like. :)

That thought went through my head as well. Tough to say.

Havin' a pretty good day. Hope you are too.

So...the Ballon D'or voters would like me to believe that there are 12 better footballers in the world this past year than Harry Kane? Is that what I'm getting out of these vote placements?

Because: LOL.

There are few clubs whose front office work I've appreciated more (especially as a supporter of a rival club) quite as much as Brentford's.

This would seem to me to be one hell of a get, if it happens?

Glad someone else called this out. I'm not sure I've ever seen four more baffling plays on a sequence that starts with a 1st and goal on the 5.

Like, are the Giants trying to win, even?

Tampa Bay should NOT play for the game winning field goal, given what we've seen so far today.

That sound you heard is a million survivor pools detonating at once

Day of the blocked field goal insanity.

Cleveland actually Szmyt have themselves their kicker after all. :)

(Yes, I know it's pronounced "Schmidt.")

(Like, anytime I meet someone called Cath or Kath or Kathy or Catherine or anything like that, immediately my brain goes to "Whoa-oh, it takes a lot to make me laugh..."

Few songs that I've ever put into a mix ever get as many "Hey, who is this?" comments as this one.

One time through this chorus on the song, and it is NEVER leaving your headspace. Ever.

Sorry. I try not to contribute too much to ComplaintSky. :) Sometimes frustration wins, though.

They're amazing live. I think I read somewhere that the band members all got together while majoring in music at university...which kind of gives them a performance "gear" to shift into that few of their peers can match.

Have fun at the show!

Yeah, I think so...although maybe it's specific to stuff I need to do often that I find those particular functions a little bit easier in Teams than Zoom.

Sometimes I'm just utterly stunned by the success of Zoom in the marketplace, given how utterly terrible every aspect of its interface is.

Sony and Playstation PR and emergency risk mitigation teams on full alert now.
