I wish there was clear guidance on dealing with in-laws that think we’re “in the clear” because states are opening back up. They were wearing masks, socially distancing, buying curbside take out, etc. Then a switch flipped when stores started opening and they drove 300 miles to spend memorial day in a South Carolina…

It looks like they’ll be around -6" apart later that night

There’s a reason the loon is on Canada’s money.

“The Beastie Boys were one of the most noteworthy and influential acts in American music for over 20 years, and following the death of Adam Yauch, in 2012, it took surviving members Adam Horovitz and Mike Diamond years to process the loss and continue addressing the group’s legacy—first with the sprawling Beastie Boys…

And the cherry on top is Bill Murray then stifling a laugh.  such a perfect little exchange.

“I am a FREE I am not MAN A NUMBER”

I am a free.  I am not man.  A number.

Just the shit-eating way Max says “O R they?” is beautiful. I half want to applaud him, half want to punch him.

That show was a masterpiece.

I still have two and a crapload of games, original boxes, and even the gun. When he was still living, my dad - for being a 2 tour Vietnam vet born in ‘44 - was shockingly tech-savvy. We tracked hurricanes on a Kaypro PC and he taught ME to use a computer. He bought a Toronado Trofeo because he loved the digi dash and…

Shoot - I’ve had the pleasure of watching Newsradio reruns on a station here called Antenna and am flabbergasted that Rogan could be the most successful out of that cast. Goes to show talent only goes so far and appealing to stoners and incels is profitable.

I love it. All my rich friends had this (and intellivision), while I had my Atari 2600. I did get a footnote of a device. One that I think deserves the title of strangest. It’s the Adventurvision. Only limited games cartridges made for it, but all were super fun. Vectrex is also a fun machine as well. I’m glad I…

I think Tank Battle and Asteroids were the signature vector graphics arcade games. My first job was programming Heads Up Displays for the military. They were all vector graphics and we had various icons such as horizon line, fuel and airspeed indicators, range to target, and aiming reticles (targets) that we had to…

counterpoint: Avenue 5 was a spectacularly bleak and delightfully biting commentary about how awful and screwed we are as a species

Not Sure, 2020

I usually comment when I know something’s on that isn’t mentioned here.

The OR joke is evergreen in my house—I had no idea Luke Wilson came up with it. Great interview!

The Luke Wilson I have in my mind, the one I’ve cobbled together from years of watching him in movies and TV...he’s actually that guy! I love it.

I have a long-standing theory about the difference between being an actor and being a star. An actor is recognizably the character, and only the character, in any role. A star is recognizably their star persona in any role, no matter the character they are playing. What you are describing there is an actor…

I read the new William Gibson book last month and realized that I had never read any of the Blue Ant trilogy, so I read those three books last week
