Said goodbye to our sweet Gordy (Gordianus, The Gord, Gordon T. Pussycat) after 15 years. He was the most lovable gentleman and we miss him so much.

Sinners is such a treat of a film. Clever, layered, deep, creepy, and also fun. I love a movie that feels like it was made by someone who loves movies, and Ryan Coogler must have had a ball spinning Get Out and O Brother Where Art Thou into this meditation on binaries and the spaces between them.

I play solo sets of my own songs just infrequently enough that every time, I’m shocked by how long ago I wrote the bulk of my catalog. “No way are you ten years old now!” I’m like a divorced dad with intermittent custody of my own music.

Did not have “Pam Beesly talking about my band and their song” on my list this week, but I’m blown away. So much appreciation to @jennafischer.bsky.social and Angela Kinsey for sharing “Second Drink” by Pocket Bandits on @officeladies.bsky.social !

This is the thing. In a world with a livable universal basic income, minimal IP rights would be fine. In the current world, copyright is necessary to protect creative people against Disney, Amazon, and the rest.

Really stuck the landing there, #Severance — what a powerful and brilliant season of TV. Adam Scott for President.
