One speaker said today’s events were “astounding.” Not the wanton violence. That part of the day was “predictable,” he said.

The “astounding” part is that there are people who’ll stand together against the violence and for their communities, all over the country, despite the regime’s rhetoric.

Felt good to gather with 100-200 other people for this vigil. None of us knew we’d be doing this tonight just like Renee Nicole Good had no reason to think her life would end today.

Some final thoughts on Stranger Things, season 5.

The Duffer Bros. delivered. It wasn’t perfect but it was damn near close. If you want every plot line and every character to have a clearly articulated resolution, you are confused about what narrative means.

The only way this song could be better is if the skit at the end was a separate track.

Reminder to anyone with school-aged kids in your life: be sure to wish them a ‘Happy 2026-7’ 🫴🏻🫳🏻 today as they return to the classroom.
it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.
NYT:

At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

Would be nice to wake up without thinking how there’s a DKs (or other HC/punk band) song that applies to the moment we’re in.

OSU lost!

I made the right choice.

Nerd side up going into 2026!
Currently at the Gateway Film Center in Columbus OH to watch The Finale of #strangerthings with my family. Chose to do so instead of watching the Buckeyes’ bowl game tonight b/c I am feeling the need to lean (even more) into my nerd side than my jock side in 2026.

I'm reaching here, but there's a lot going on with Will. He can access the "hive mind" and he has come to terms with his romantic, if not sexual, desires. The "hive mind" could be the heteronormative society that he is now rejecting. That firm rejection is why he's a now a sorcerer.

As far as plot line resolution, the biggest challenge that remains is how to satisfyingly bring closure to the coming-of-age aspects while also explaining the reasoning behind how the sci-fi / horror elements of the show work.

Couple few thoughts on Volume 2 of Stranger Things, Season 5.

The twentysomethings and thirtysomethings in my life tell me the internet doesn't like the most recent set of episodes. I'm so glad I don't know what they're talking about. The show is doing what it should be doing.

Some thoughts on my experience reading the book by the guy who lived in the Home Alone house before, during, and after filming. 👇🏻
For this week’s entry on The Tall Rob Report, I went hyper-local.

The guy who owned the Home Alone house self-published a book about the whole experience.

Maybe people will stop speculating about Peter McCallister’s career now that the owner of the house has identified himself.

Read my review:
Home But Alone No More (John Abendshien, Abendshien Associates, Inc., 2025)
