I don't have *too* much ill-will toward Frankie Da Pope for this, since I assume he had basically zero awareness of who she was or what the significance was. It sounds like it was mostly engineered by assholes at the Vatican embassy, taking advantage of the Old Guy's lack of political awareness to make a right-wing…

I think my only disappointment with new CHVRCHES are the bonus tracks not really being worthwhile. But I won't hold that against it.

I'm at something like 36 hours/79% through Arkham Knight, which may by the end of it be the most time I've ever played a game. (Crucially, 180/243 through Riddles.) At the risk of even acknowledging this fact being a spoiler, the identity of the Knight was really really obvious, and that's coming from someone who…

Saw The Decemberists this summer, which was great as usual, but aside from that I haven't seen many concerts these days. I really wanna see CHVRCHES, but their only DC appearance is a music festival on the Mall, which doesn't really sound fun.

Recently heard about a folk-ish singer I rather like, Jessica Rotter. Worth checking out if you're into that sorta thing.

Man I am really glad they don't allow animated gifs on comments here.

He travels back to the same point in 1955 when 2 pines existed, and runs one over. Just like the first Marty. Right? It's not yet dead when he arrives in 1955.

They do have the ad-free option. Kinda sucks to have to pay more for it, but it's still cheaper than cable.

I don't get that. CC took all their shows off of the rival streaming services like Prime and Hulu to try and boost their own service, but then they didn't bother putting any full seasons on it. So, like, I wanted to catch up on Review and Broad City and IAS, but they took them off Prime, and now I have no way to…

Eh, honestly I'm pretty fine with Netflix going heavy on the TV. I still keep Netflix DVDs (nee Qwikster) for movie purposes, because I'm a caveman, and that will always have pretty much any movie I want to see.

"Wuntch meat."

That is pretty curious. I wonder if they'll mix up the format somehow, like have multi-episode arcs or something.

Yeah this seems to be the most positive review of the bunch so far. So the fact that maybe half the critics sort-of-liked-to-liked the first 3 episodes doesn't exactly earn this the benefit of the doubt to give it a try.

And the sure-handedness of Jim Abbott.

ComradeQuestShe does Crossfit, though hers *supposedly* has a tamer vibe. We watched most of a recent 60 Minutes talking about it, because we're Old, where they interviewed the really offputting libertarian guy behind it, and showed more of those crazies. I'm curious to try it just to see if I can do it, but it's so…

GET OUT!

Ack don't remind me! Really looking forward to this, but unless I listen to the album in my car, it'll just be half-listened-to background music at work, so I'm trying to hold off til Friday when I can actually buy it.

Make me.
