Hi-res album cover art for the Grateful Dead, "Dave's Picks: Vol. 57: Uptown Theatre, Chicago IL (2/1/78)." See next skeet for a useful link.
This year, I exercised resolve, reminded myself I have way more live GD than any one actually needs, and didn't buy a subscription.

On episode seven of season 5 of Stranger Things. Previous theory that Vecna's evil turned the characters into one-dimensional versions of their previous selves now seems unlikely. Mainly watching to see how the heros avoid spending the rest of their lives in prison.

"Crude honor and satire," is a broad category. Think that covers both The Naked Gun and The Phoenician Scheme.

Christmas Lord of the Rings marathon with family. We're at the scene where Aragorn washes up on the riverbank, and his horse finds and revives him. In-law comments, "My dog won't even sit."

Mark Lewisohn pointed out the Beatles only had their chance because the British government invested heavily in arts education and public transportation. No government spending = no greatest rock band of all time.
I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

James Bond doesn't have to be an individual. Fan canon holds "James Bond" is a code name / job title for MI5's top agent.
The movie doesn't have to explain, either. The supermodel playing the villain says, "I'm told you're a man of many talents." Daniel Kaluuya arches an eyebrow, and we're off.

The James Bond discourse just doesn't work on any level for me, what do you mean "the audience won't buy it," they think Timothy Dalton and Sean Connery are the same guy
