Not sure why Hannah is using her own name this time instead of the Cold Beat moniker but the results are what matters, and this song is an absolute jam: youtu.be/vwSOd7VOGWk?...

Historic Sheridan Fruit Company is closing its doors after more than 100 years in business After 110 years in Portland, Sheridan Fruit Company is closing its doors. The independent grocer announced the closure Thursday confirming its final day will be on Friday, Feb. 13.

This place was heavily connected to my early years in Portland. It seemed like all of my band mates and their roommates worked there. Another vanishing: www.opb.org/article/2026...

The thing about the new Dracula movie is that guy should be in jail, and I don’t mean Dracula.

Like much about this regime having Brett Ratner as the Temu Leni Riefenstahl is just too dark of a joke.

I’m sure these dumb dumbs will try and convince us that the cartels are unwisely attempting military attacks on El Paso, but they ran a whole civil war level terror insurgency for years in Ciudad Juarez and could have done that at any time but didn’t.

James Van Der Beek was one of those actors that basically grew up with my generation, so this definitely brings the terror of mortality.

Still from Harold and Maude.

Lots of what’s being revealed was already available right then, including a publicly available quote from Trump that shows the depth of his connection/friendship to Epstein and awareness of the crimes.

Last night I went on Netflix to watch a little Death by Lightning as I’m likely to do, and my fat finger accidentally hit the Epstein documentary they put out in 2020, so I just decided to watch it for a minute and then got pulled in.

Hopefully with even more walking this time.

I know it got some hate but I actually dug In a Violent Nature, I thought it was one of the more interesting takes in the recent slasher revival, I’m not totally sure it needs a sequel (I’m always suspicious of the concept) but it’s fair that it gets one, and I will watch.

The Bad Bunny vs TPUSA 🧻 competing(that word doing heavy lifting here) halftime shows has to be the biggest self dunk of the entire culture war era.

TPUSA(did they really think that initial through?) without Kirk is probably indicative of the futureof MAGA without Trump. It’s going to be Kid Rock in jorts from now on.
