If you’re not in the UK takes some effort to be able to watch, but BBC2’s new show “Small Prophets” is worth it.
Very good. Funny. Touching. Sweet. Sad. Impressive writing and directing from Mackenzie Crook.

So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

I miss the days when I could hate a Super Bowl halftime show solely because the music sucked without seeming like I had other motives. Now I have to sit through some really shitty tunes just because I back the dude in the bigger picture of things.

A Waymo recently politely gave me a gap to merge at one of my city's more frustrating rush-hour intersections. And so I say, "Thank you Filipino guy, you are way more considerate than 98 percent of Austin drivers."

Dan Quinn on Feb. 5, 2017: "We had a team ahead 28-3 and every time a new score came in they just magically whittled away until the lead was lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No. Also, fuck Julian Edelman."

In the big picture there's nothing funny about this grown man going after teens, but I do laugh at the clip opening with the girl speedily whipping out her cell phone from her back pocket. She draws faster than Alan Ladd in "Shane."

Buddy Holly was FAR ahead of his time. I firmly believe that had he lived he would have become one of the biggest music moguls — not just as a singer and songwriter, but as a producer and an EVERYTHING man — America has ever seen.
(Side note: His music holds up way better than most from the '50s.)

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

My good friend Tony Drewry lives out in Terlingua and took this gorgeous photo of the Chisos mountains with fog on the ground from his place there. This was at sunrise after the cold front came through. Some photographers have all the luck! Thank you, Tony. Tremendous!
