So many brains around the globe have been wired to worry about an incurious slowly dying game show host’s latest semi-formed thought his rotted brain barfed out, and it will be such a relief to rewire it when he finally departs this mortal coil

So many things about culture are going to have massive whiplash when he goes - political reporting, our consumption of social media, Woke 2, all that shit. This big goofus is a black hole and the energy he’ll release back out will be titanic bsky.app/profile/davi...

I have had homemade Mac and cheese and gourmet Mac and cheese and it’s all great - anything plus cheese is usually a winner - but much like how I crave Mexican food and also crave Taco Bell, I’ll want to eat good pasta and then I’ll want that damn blue box shit

Kraft mac and cheese is pasta that overcooks if you wave it over boiling water and a powder concocted in Dr. Frankenstein’s lab, and yet I’d eat it for three meals a day if it did nothing to me on a gastric level bsky.app/profile/disc...

I absolutely would’ve played all three of these as a kid, I wouldn’t have been old enough for Strat-O-Matic or the war games I enjoy now and I’d have been suckered in by the Atari tie-in

Out of curiosity, I looked up all three games on Board Game Geek, and not only are all three of them unsurprisingly cheap-looking, only Popeye comes anywhere near the arcade game’s gameplay boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/10... bsky.app/profile/char...

I definitely like the movies (Scarface, The Untouchables) he didn’t write more than the ones he did (Blow Out, Body Double)

Oh yeah I remember the horror stories about getting out of there, it’s brain breaking that almost 13 years have passed. I still remember Page spinning around his keyboards like it was yesterday (I watched the webcast)

Didn’t the show also end really late? I think one of the reasons they do one set longbois when the weather is bad like that now is to prevent running up on or passing curfew

There are people in the Phish fan community that will tell you the next night’s show is superior to this one, one of the best shows they’ve played in the last decade. Those people are in error bsky.app/profile/live...

Thinking about The Queen’s Gambit, as I am wont to do, and on top of the many things Anya Taylor-Joy did well in her outstanding performance, she played drunk very well. Playing drunk has confounded many a good actor and actress, so this should not be taken lightly

"A Day in the Life of a Tree" was Brian's sole new contribution written for Surf's Up.
The song was experimented upon for days with a harmonium, an antique pump organ, and a smaller pipe organ. Van Dyke Parks and Jardine join Rieley to sing the song's coda. According to Jardine, Rieley sang the song when "no one [else] would sing it because it was too depressing."

You ever think about how Brian Wilson wrote a song from the perspective of a tree and it’s one of the most gut wrenching and affecting songs that exists, and their touring manager had to sing the song because nobody in the band would due to it being so sad
