I re read the “Thrawn Trilogy” from the 90s and offer some thoughts. Did I like them? How can they inform choices being made for movies and shows today? Who should read them today? Check it out and let me know what you think! #Starwars #Thrawn

I love the fact that #HATM is watching”Sinners” tonight. It’s a fun fact that @herberthistory.bsky.social personally messaged me and bullied me into seeing Sinners in theatres on a weeknight. It’s a great flick and I hope you all enjoy it, but I’m watching the Bears and manifesting their victory.

Finding a half dozen vultures in my backyard is a good omen right? Is it still a good omen if they are surrounding a dead raccoon?

Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is pretty rad next time you are in Orlando, take a couple hours and see some real Florida.

I’m stoked that the original cut of “Star Wars: A New Hope” is coming to theaters in February of 2027.The special editions will have been out for 30 years in 2027. That means there are multiple generations of fans who have NEVER see the original cut. My kids included. It’s gonna a wild ride. #HATM

Municipal workers in Nantucket are feverishly googling “how to buy dynamite” as I type this.
A dead sperm whale has washed up on Nantucket for the first time in decades. It’s too big to move — at least until officials figure out a plan.
Dead Sperm Whale on Nantucket Is Too Big to Move, for Now
A local nonprofit said the 52-ton mammal is “far too big, awkward and heavy to remove.” A town official later said it could be dragged out to sea by Thanksgiving.
