In honor of his birthday, greatest Lee Marvin stories, ranked: 3: Drunkenly forgetting where his Hollywood Hills home was, buying one of those star maps from a kid to find his own address, then showing up at the house only to have the new owner tell him "Lee, you sold me this house four years ago."

You know what? I have never once been in a National Park and thought "There are too many damn park rangers on the payroll. What do they even do all day?" Quite the opposite, actually.

Did Geoff Thorne ever pop up over here? I miss that guy-- he was one of the first to see the writing on the wall and bug out of Twitter. Wherever he is, I hope he's doing well.

Audiences have gotten spoiled by the absurd budgets streamers throw at their shows. I miss the days of network TV where they'd flashback to a character's tour in 'Nam and it would be a few tropical trees in a corner of the Warner Brothers lot. Now they'd really go to Vietnam.

Flow was such a lovely film and an inspiring example of how artistry and pure visual storytelling trump budget. I'm still astonished at what they accomplished for less than 4 million dollars.

If you are looking for a puppy in central Texas, and you’re looking for something in the stuffed animal department, you’d be hard pressed to find one cuter than Margarita here. Of all her siblings, she’s the one no one has asked about. Reach out if you want me to connect you to her people.

Surprise!

I am a northern California boy at heart, but I have to admit… There is nothing like the smell of chaparral after a rain storm.

Shout out to my fellow space nerds who want to be excited by all of the new happenings in rocketry and spaceflight but are extremely distressed by the owners of the companies pushing them forward.

Wait, the Duolingo owl died? I’m supposed to follow lore while I’m studying Mandarin now?

It's probably a little weird that I chose my profile picture to be a photo of me with our dead dog. Whatever, I don't care. I miss him.

The Captain America producers apparently put Harrison Ford in a motion capture suit. Now, Harrison Ford is probably my favorite movie star of all time…but he is the same age as Bernie Sanders. Do you put Bernie in a mocap suit?

My favorite thing about the first three Indiana Jones movies is that the characters keep treating these sacred religious relics like Dungeons & Dragons magic items that anyone can pick up and use, only to learn by the end that NO, THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS.

I don’t have any illusions about the old Twitter—management put its thumb on the scale in some really harmful ways—but the amount of open bigotry and hatred on that site now just hurts my soul a little more each time I open it.

I’m finding the other place increasingly depressing as well as unusable so thought I’d dip my toe in here. Any recommendations on good follows?
