I simply cannot imagine NOT owning a tape measure. I mean, as an adult. I can see why a kid wouldn’t but not anyone over like 25.

My first multiplayer deck was Blanket of Night and Angry Mob (Urborg hadn’t been printed yet).

Pre-ordered the moment it came out. Can’t wait!

Wait, that’s not what James Bond movies are?

Your descriptions of those shows are SPOT ON.

But no, you don’t need to watch Felicity.

I often listen while writing journal articles or reading drafts of theses/dissertations. Does that count?

There’s offensive ineptitude, and there’s whatever the Texans were doing on x and 1.

I love my Texans but they can be hard to watch.

I was getting an error but it’s fine now. I think it was a network issue, sorry.

Sounds nice, but cannot log in with it.

Yes, I generated an app password. Yes, I'm sure both the username and password were correct.

Or do I have to pay before I can even log in and check it out? I don't see a way to do that even if I wanted to, but if that's the case this is a non-starter.

I mean, where would Rick Beato be these days if he couldn't post a video bitching about the state of pop music? It's like one a week.

Is the top 40 boring? Yes. Maybe it's gotten worse but this has always been more true than most people would like to admit.

Look. Else. Where.

Another huge call (or lack thereof) goes the Chiefs' way.

However, things are clearly changingβ€”at least the announcers called it out. 2-3 years ago no way anything would have been said. Baby steps.

IIRC he produced Peter Gabriel’s _So_ and some U2 albums.

That was OPI when the Texans did the exact same thing yesterday. Just sayin’

It's the bizarre notion that your life will be made better by making other people's lives worse.

Because, seriously, whose life actually gets better from things like this? Nobody. But if I can sell you on that notion, I can get support for it.

@zoekeating.com

Just dropped your name in a music recommendation thread on a speaker forum. First two replies were "impressive" and "Wow - this is so good!!!!!"

Just hoping to brighten your day.

I've made mistakes like this many times. Sometimes I even leave it in because it actually sounds OK.

Just watched the BEAT Live blu-ray. Pretty much a religious experience. Saw the show live twice and it's captured incredibly well. The 5.1 mix is also outstanding.

Thank you @tonylevin.bsky.social

I assume you and Scooter have some kind of wager, yes?

Sometimes it's dumb luck. Like, next show I'm seeing is because I saw an ad at the venue for another show later at the same venue.

Mostly I try to follow artists' email lists or social media. Generally artists are pretty good about getting the word out but sometimes there are misses. Like, somehow missed Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew here in 2023. Oops.

Hey are you coming to Houston for US championships in October? My son qualified so I'll be around.

Away from the convention center Houston is a great foodie city, would be happy to show you a spot or two.

Why would anyone pay attention to medical advice from someone who once in a press conference suggested that we try injecting bleach?

Texans are 0-3, but hey, the Colts had an off day. I mean, they still won by three touchdowns but they actually punted once! First time this season.

The Texans were the betting favorites to with the AFC South before the season started and now I can't even look.

If you're not watching Texans-Jaguars, you are missing a truly classic display of offensive ineptitude. Neither team deserves to win this one.

Halloween must be coming up, because a whole lot of Jacksonville fans showed up today dressed as empty seats...
