Nickel Boys is sooooo good.

I think Outkast’s version of “Because” would be amazing. You’re right the comparisons are silly. Outkast has the advantage of being modern and having 60 years or so of pop music to build off of while the beatles’ predecessors were all fairly close in the rearview mirror. Both broke new ground and established…

Outkast could write “I Want to Hold Your Hand” but the Beatles could never write “B.O.B.”

Thanks for writing this. I remember when I finally listened to On Avery Island and thought “hell this is just as great as Aeroplane!” I haven’t listened to either in a long time and with this prompt I’ll be bothering my coworkers with it all day.

Hand scored bowling is a lost art. I miss the cellophane and overhead projectors. While I’m not a smoker and generally dislike cigarette smoke I also miss the smell and haze my local alley had developed. It just isn’t the same.

I rarely read anything as quickly as I devoured Piranesi. That was a delight from start to finish. One of those where I just want to live in that world a little bit longer than I’m allowed.

Last year, my son gave me a letter he wrote to himself. Across the front he had written “DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 2027". He will be 18 when I give it back to him. I don’t have a good plan on what to do with it. Currently it sits in a drawer of my office and I notice it every so often but it does make me worry about what…

That looks more than pleasant. And I could you some pleasant entertainment. My TV queue feels overly dour anymore. 

Indianapolis was  where Miss Bliss taught our young friends before they moved up (and far west) to Bayside.

The documentary had better end with Todd Snider’s song.

Seconded.

Allegedly

I really liked “My Boys” and it really suffered from the airtime shuffling shenanigans. The cast was excellent and the comedy writing was sharp. I’m sure there are plenty of things that could have been done to make it more mainstream but it would have lost what I felt made it special. The Sex and The City comparisons…

I’m non-MAGA and I give a shit. I do not give two shits, however. Poor guy lost it after Machina.

Yars’ Revenge is legit great. I played that for hours and hours despite the lack of variability in game play. What is the secret sauce that made it work despite its limitations? Darned if I know.

I was so bad at this game that just listening to the music is making me sweat.

I thought the same thing and my wife said it before me while we watched the episode when she blurted out, “he’s like the guy from that movie you made me watch with the rock band and super powers.”

How does one consider age? My 15.2% at age 41 is different than someone with that same ratio at age 60 or age 28. I know the article speaks to it a little bit but I’d be interested to hear what other folks might consider “sweet spots” at various ages. The old “Have twice your salary saved by the age of 40" type…
