Happy Friday. Drink a glass of scotch. Do drugs. Eat a big dinner. I dunno? Throw your phone into the river and enjoy yourself. tidal.com/browse/track...

Watching this one tonight. I LOVE hick/trucker movies. Even better when Corman is involved.

Woulda been cool if Hassan asked Noem about habeas corpus before voting to confirm that dead-eyed freak a few months back but, hey, can't win 'em all! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Buying and selling AI slop that no one looks at is just so fuckin' bleak. I'm seeing my livelihood disappear as everything else just kinda flattens out into nothing. ...I wish that, twenty-year ago, I'd become an electrician instead.

A solid 50% of the time I have no idea what people are talking about on this website.

Reality TV, to a large extent, has always been about making entertainment out of cruelty. This DHS stuff seems to track. I really want this dumb, cruel era to be in the past.

Joe Don Baker's ass is one the most important parts of 'Goldeneye'. It let's you know the Dalton-era is over. A few other things, too.

Have people that use the phrase 'double down' daily ever played blackjack? Its usage doesn't track with my experience.

WOW! Last night, CBS Chicago posted online the 1981 TV movie, “The Trial of Shoeless Joe Jackson,” written by Bill Brashler (“Bingo Long”!) & produced by local legend Scott Craig. Judge Robert Cannon, son of Joe’s real-life lawyer, is thanked in credits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNDP...

Thrilled (x100) that Nancy Faust will be returning to the ballpark! (It's about time). I've always admired her musical style, advocacy for Dick Allen's inclusion in the HoF, and her contributions to baseball more broadly.

As a longtime vegetarian, I've had plenty of sandwiches with sprouts and stuff on whole wheat. You know the kind. This mustard has been a revelation. Truly the product of groundbreaking work in the field of condiments.

I normally drink sour (brandy) old fashioneds but, man, this Korean pop lurking in the back of my fridge made a great sweet drink.
