Young Einstein / Dead Poets Society, since I saw them on the same day in theaters when I was 9. (Haven't rewatched either since, I think.)

When I'm at a hotel breakfast and they have three identical coffee urns for regular coffee, I mix all three together to minimize the chance of getting a really bad cup of coffee.

Accidentally watched bits of "Whitehouse Down" on a restaurant TV. The only good part was finally seeing (CG admittedly) helicopters fly under Key Bridge.

747s always looks pretty impressive on a clear day when they leave contrails (about 38,000 ft, Magma Aviation from Germany.)

Eco-City Alexandria ar Ben Brenman was fun. Perfect weather for it too.

I'm not quite an elder but at least my first post was 6 days before this. bsky.app/profile/byro...

One of my later memories at a video store (Hollywood Video here but the same concept) was deciding to rent "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" in late 2003 since I had seen some discussion on some early forum that it was pretty good. (It is good.)

Hmmmmmmm.

Drove home from MA today. All the kids still enjoy, knowing we're almost home, going across the WW and looking at Alx and DC: Masonic Temple and its lighting scheme, the Capitol, DCA, Old Town Waterfront, Renew Alex, and the newish Carlyle building with the bees on the side :)

Breakfast time? (Ha! It's a joke since I eat my cereal dry.)

when you get down to it, one of hollywood's biggest failures over the course of a hundred plus years of movie making is that there are fewer movies about the civil war that aren't morally and historically repulsive than you can count on one hand

It'd be a long time since I've watched "Brother from the Same Planet" and it's a pretty solid episode, with lots of gags I remembered but didn't realize were in this episode. And Phil Hartman (RIP) saying "d'oh" in it is just perfect.

With Trump reportedly planning to end the IRS Direct File program, there's no better time to remember how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free. (Published 2019)

Wasn't there very long, but still a fine evening at @portcitybrew.bsky.social today
