Just had my yearly, lovely, 'catch up with my across the street neighbors while shoveling snow' discussion. We apparently have no desire to speak, just wave, every other day of the year. I think we are both cool with this arrangement.

I had a dream that I was hired to produce and write on a network variety show starring Stephen Malkmus, and I was leaning really hard into calling it “Steve!” I slowly became the darling of the production team and I let it go to my head. I can’t even have absurd dreams where I’m not an asshole.

Too many to name, but one I come back to often is the midnight release of FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING where there were cosplayers and lifelong Tolkien fans just losing their minds before the film started. Maybe the most positive theater vibe I've ever been in.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

This is unbearably funny
Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

I Am Legally Obligated to Play Billy Joel’s “River of Dreams” at Least Once During Your Dental Appointment
You probably don’t hear “River of Dreams” much anymore. It’s never on the radio, and no one is streaming that song of their own free will. But here...

When Twitter was young, you’d see a post by @TheFatBoys and not realize it was actually 80s rap group the Fat Boys. In same time-frame of Threads, you see a post by @CharleneMom77 and will never not believe it is a bot. On BlueSky, the username is a pun so slight you nearly missed it, @Teal_Leoni

This may be the first time in my baseball fandom that the four teams I most wished would make the CSes made it (from the playoff pool). Now let's go Brewers and Mariners!

I love spooky season because it gives me an excuse to watch horror movies day and night. I hate spooky season because many of the franchises I choose to watch are mostly terrible.
I'm sure this skeet has nothing to do with the fact that I'm currently watching Friday the 13th Part VII.
