Quote from Janow claiming the grocery story has $9 pears as a “normal” fruit. Pears are commonly $3-4 per pound and less than 1 pound each.

And also seems to think there are 2.5lb Pears at T&C, cause I’m not sure what world there are $9 pears as a “common” fruit there.

Au pays du Cocaine and Trinidad are not the catchiest songs

Kinda shocked at the songs Geese chose to play on SNL.

Panel from Tove Jansson’s Moomin. Papa Moomin says to the Snufkin “Tell us all that’s happening out in the world!” And the Snufkin responds “Fuss and misery…”

24hr at home alone means lots of records played LOUD

Tragic Magic by Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore on Apple Music Album · 2026 · 7 Songs

This new album from Juliana Barwick & Mary Lattimore is a wonderful balm. I might just keep this on repeat all day: music.apple.com/us/album/tra...

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Zach Condon has a way with melody that gets to me in a way that few other musicians do.

😍 Liv Tyler showing up as Arwen

Tonight we started Fellowship of the Ring with our boys. I haven’t watched this in at least 10 years and forgot just how good it is.

😭 love to see Aidy come back for Bowen’s last show so they could do one last Trend Forecasters bit.

😂 at Cameron Winters getting a callout in this SNL sketch. Tho the Kate Bush / Yoko Ono bit was unnecessarily mean.

I love that in “Let it Snow”, the guy has a line like “I brought some corn for popping”, as though that may get someone reconsider letting you stay.

What else would you do with dried corn in this scenario, make home-made cornmeal?

Maybe the most unrealistic thing in Home Alone: it’s Christmas Eve and there’s a 60 kid choir singing with hardly anyone in the pews?!

It’s crazy how good Home Alone is

Search for a Feeling is a bop

Me too! Getting some lights up on the house!

AirPods + Volume Limiting is one of my favorite things. Going to concerts and having earplugs that will reproduce everything up to 100db is magic.

Woah, this new Rosalía is something else. youtu.be/xPaSuWrBAQI?...

if you cannot prevent your model from doing this, you have an ethical, moral, and, probably, legal obligation not to release it, and if you’re working at openAI right now, this blood is on your hands, too

It was a great fall day seeing a matinee of Chicago, followed up by an early Destroyer concert.

This Grizzly Bear set sounds so good in the first 15 minutes: youtu.be/pOyYFFD4HPY?...

I set up a projector in our garage, and watching movies out here has grown to be a joy. I’m watching They Live tonight and this movie is so great.

😳 made it to Act 3 in Silksong. I’m amazed at how big this game is.

Oh man, was not prepared to see the news about D’Angelo. Too many black artists die too young.

This live Geese set is great www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YI0...

I enjoyed One Battle After Another quite a bit.

I do feel like all the glowing reviews had me expecting something with a bit more to say? It didn’t pull any punches, but also didn’t necessarily feel like more than a bizzaro Wes Anderson romp.

A copy of Joanna Newsom’s album Have One On Me

Spending my Sunday afternoon making chili and listening to “Have One On Me” unreasonably loudly
