Guess I’m fully reverting to my high school self. I’ve been reading Isaac Asimov novels and now I’ve started The Great Gatsby.

"Spock's Death" by James Horner from Star Trek II – The Wrath of Khan performed by Brett Mitchell on piano.

Ten years.

“Do not dismiss a book until you have written one, and do not dismiss a movie until you have made one, and do not dismiss a person until you have met them. It is a fuckload of work to be open-minded and generous and understanding and forgiving and accepting, but Christ, that is what matters.”

Happy Jerry Goldsmith’s Birthday!

Wait, a ticket to the superbowl costs $5600? Nobody better ever give me a hard time for the $600 I spent to see Hamilton with the original cast.

Really, we are all Ben Affleck at this time of year, aren’t we? thatneilguy.medium.com/i-feel-you-b...

Important message from Abraham Lincoln to the current administration:

I’m old enough to remember the rule of law.

Already weary of calling my senators. “Hello again, please ask the senator to STOP THIS INSANITY. Talk to you tomorrow. Bye.”

@duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social I could do another take and do it better but anyway, this is for you

At last, @duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social is here! I should probably write a new song for Her Grace as tribute. Or maybe that would feel like a punishment to Her, so maybe not.

“Any jackass can kick a barn down. But it takes a carpenter to build one.”

Creative lessons I learned from David Lynch. thatneilguy.medium.com/put-a-fish-i...

Thank you, David Lynch, for everything, including introducing me to this book.

I’m not saying the Powers That Be have no understanding of how to market Star Trek… but… shop.startrek.com/collections/...

Leaked photo of heaven

Everything is terrible, but we still have The King. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0eJ7...

It’s a difficult world. It’s a difficult time. But if you have three minutes, I humbly offer you the experience of Leonard Nimoy reading the Desiderata. This and these thoughts are why we go on. m.youtube.com/watch?v=nuDm...

TOP SECRET PRODUCTIVITY HACK: f*ck productivity, have a donut and stare out the window

Oh god I can’t believe we have four more years of being bombarded with outrage and bullshit 24 hours a day. COMPUTER END PROGRAM

In the horror of EVERYTHING I forgot today is The King’s birthday. Remember, wise men still seek him.

Streaming services were never meant to replace a permanent library.

In the face of four more years of unrelenting outrage and despair, I am choosing to internalize the words and actions of John McClane, who stuck a single detonator into the plastique, then said “Fuck it” and shoved in a fistful more. And, so, I am going to eat all six of these donuts.

Captain of the Starship looks askance at my new role as Damnation Alley influencer.

Apple Music includes I Wanna Hold Your Hand by The Beatles in its “Frank Sinatra and Similar Artists” station. If you’d told Frank or, well, anyone at all in 1963 that one day Beatles and Frank would be considered the same category of music…

New Lock Screen for my new influencer role.
