This is exactly the exposition I need! I hope you're not making that up! 😂

Album cover for Tom Petty's "Wildflowers"

Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" is a journey and a half. Good all the way through.

Yup. Creating a large class of people who have been locked out of a decent life, desperate, and, since this is America, heavily armed. A powder keg just waiting to go off.

Looks like they're doing viral marketing for Vince Gilligan's "Pluribus" (description below)

"...a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness"

Love it! I've also heard Back to the Future described as a perfect movie (and I think I agree). What else would be on your list?

That's good 😂

Cover for the book "Survive and Thrive: How to Prepare for Any Disaster Without Ammo, Camo, or Eating Your Neighbor" by Bill Fulton and Jeanne Chilton Devon

I bought this book — which I had never heard of before — after a recommendation on BlueSky

My absolute favorite from Gojira!

I've never heard a rock/metal song do what Mario does here: shifting the drums by an eighth note for the two measures before the vocals kick in. It's SO WEIRD, and I geek out over it every time!

Everything else about "Stranded" is great, too!

Anyone who thinks a black woman could be Trump's successor has never met Trump's base

Me watching Happy Gilmore 2

Liam Neeson is totally miscast, at least the way the trailers make it look

I miss the surprise onside kick

I don't know what the DiscoverCard company pays to mail me an offer 3 times a week, but that's a pile of money that could be spent so, so much better

I'm glad the move is almost wrapped up! If there was a soundtrack to your evening, what would be on it?

What is the likelihood that bird flu becomes a pandemic in humans over the next decade? How deadly and contagious would such a thing likely be?

Saint Anger was a member of the band Metallica, and his namesake album is widely considered a failure.

Raisins are good in Raisin Bran cereal, and absolute trash in everything else

We used this option for our "kids TV" setup, although we plugged in a Chromecast instead of the DVD player. Note: if the monitor doesn't also have built-in speakers, you'll need to hook some up.

I tried really hard to disagree, thinking, "Hey, Daphne's pleasant and funny, and Martin's down to earth..."

But in the end, her "quirks" and his old-fashioned sensibilities would grate on me, and I have to agree with you about Roz.

I'm sorry, sir, but oboes are awesome

If only he'd been correct!

YouTube video by Klaatu - Topic Sub-Rosa Subway

#MusicSky #Beatles

For a brief moment, rumors flew that the band Klaatu was secretly an early-70's reunion of The Beatles. It's easy to hear why with "Sub-Rosa Subway" — which even sounds like friend Jeff Lynne could have produced it!

Fighting fascism IS the moral high ground; norms and "fairness" be damned

Because all of this is in fact the classic, textbook making of a bubble. Think back to the dot com days. What was the idea then? Precisely the above: the rules of valuation had changed permanently. Because this was to be a whole new economy. In which oldfangled notions of profitability and sound management just didn’t matter anymore. That euphoria, that mania, took hold so completely that it became a whole social current and fad. Entire books were written about it, that filled whole sections of bookstores. And none of it turned out to be remotely true.

I've been reading his stuff off and on for over 10 years, and Umair's track record on predicting macro trends has been very, very good. The whole piece is worth a read: www.theissue.io/the-trump-bu...

Age verification?

I once recorded the opening theme to Airwolf to cassette via boombox so I could listen to it later

a man in a blue shirt is shaking hands with another man in a store and the words she would never are visible Alt: Dennis from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia giving his line about "the implication"

I don't know if it's up your alley, but for a large swath of people, this guy owns the word "implication"

Listening to women is the last thing MAGA would ever do

Did R Lee Ermey use the phrase in Full Metal Jacket? Or am I thinking of "show me your war face?"

1) Ghislaine Maxwell does as she is told, publicly naming some of Trump's enemies and not him

2) Ghislaine is pardoned

3) Trump's DOJ opens full investigations into those named enemies

4) Trump is seen as the MAGA hero they always wished him to be

5) The actual evidence is quietly destroyed

Pure heaven: imagine a feed composed entirely of context-free graphs and charts
