Nice. Just found out that the $100 deposit toward #URFC season tickets I made last year (which I never ended up purchasing due to health & other reasons) was not only never refunded, but is still non-refundable. Just when I thought my disappointment with this club couldn't get any deeper.

Hey! Did you know the NWS and NOAA provide: -Weather Watches/Warnings -Current Observations (at over 10,000 observation sites) -Satellite Observations -Doppler Radar Data -Weather Models -Severe Weather Outlooks -And much more... We get all of this for roughly $3 per person in taxes per year.

I'm not saying it's been a stressful time lately or anything, but I appear to have bought five new pairs of shoes in the last two weeks. That's normal, right? My poor closet...

Just cancelled my subscription. Bad enough they treated #StarTrekProdigy the way they did, but I've got not one more ounce of interest in supporting these bellends for taking this tack: nothing's *less* Starfleet than this. #IDIC

Good grief; wife and dog as well? How weird! Carbon monoxide maybe? So sad; rest in peace.

RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks just now: "It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year." It is actually very unusual. This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Was reminded of this gem from 8 years ago today. Still, oddly relevant. youtu.be/sCyzdD0vYOw?...

Back in 2021 I posted a concept reel for the LAST STARFIGHTER sequel I worked on, featuring an amazing new arrangement of Craig Safan's iconic score by Chris Tilton. Chris has now re-orchestrated the music with live strings, brass, and woodwinds replacing the original midi versions. Enjoy!

Wh... what? What on earth? So confused; guess I'm going to have to have a little faith in A24. I just hope this is from the split personality of A24 that brought us stuff like 'The Whale' and not the one that brought us stuff like 'Aftersun'. youtu.be/cmSPwZIZu6Y?...

"I told a story, before I knew the ending. I got an answer, before I heard the question." Welp, starting a #ThisIsUs rewatch tonight. Yes, I know what I'm subjecting myself to. Still, send hugs: I will need them. youtu.be/Uiw3ff_FrEk?...

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)
