Thank you.

Do any of you beautiful people have a good alternative to Substack for using as a newsletter / email platform? I switched to them from MailChimp, as it's currently free. I've got about 2000 newsletter subscribers.

Looking for something either free or inexpensive (this is a low-budget operation).

New shirt day (from @harebrained.bsky.social )!

Was it worth the 2 folks who cancelled their Sleep Baseball Patreon support when they saw it on the 'Gram?

Yes.

I can't believe we don't have a la carte pricing all over the place for journalism, with a one-click way to pay to read an article. Make it as easy as ordering something on Amazon, or buying gems in a phone game.

POST-SCRIPT - MAYBE DIDN'T STICK THE LANDING!

But lots of incredible things happening during this movie!

Ok.

Mark Borchardt's "Coven" is better than "Clerks".

I realize that's damning with faint praise...

(I just re-watched "American Movie", and am now watching "Coven" in its entirety for the first time.)

I am watching the black and white version of "Basquiat".

I'm a sucker for this kind of movie, and for the record, it looks great in black and white!

(A Googler AI tried to tell me the history of why there's a b/w version, but I have not yet gone down that rabbit hole)

Just tried to make a list of every domain name I have ever owned (rented?). Was able to remember 7 of them, but I'm sure there are a few more bought on some kind of idiot whim.

P.S. "When Doves Cry" is a very weird Smash Hit.

Like, I think it still would have been very weird if he left the bass track on it. Good lord!

Learning that nearly every Prince vocal that exists on tape happened with him in a chair hovered over a board, maybe with a guitar or something in his lap - well, this maybe changed a few things about how I viewed the world.

Thank you.

In my head, I have a soft spot for Las Vegas. I learned to embrace the horror, I thought!

It occurs to me that I have only been to Vegas on a company dime. It was free, and I don't like gambling, generally.

There are a lot of great restaurants there! The quail egg dumplings at China Pablano! ok.

Post-script: Holy hell, that dude is TALL. LARGE, even.

PPS: his energy during this weird interaction was loose and upbeat! Like, we had a moment of Human Interaction!

Thank you.\

UPDATE! I have now listened to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They are good at what they do - it is not for me!

I once did the "which-way-are-you-gonna-go?" shuffle with Jose Canseco at a restroom at The Venetian.

I get it, but I will say the Silver Jews are an absolute favorite band for me!

I have no knowledge of anything related to this band other than this record. The MUSIC is so good on this. The lead vocals are kind of histrionic in a way I either love or hate, generally! Don't mind it here!
