You could post a thousand different clips of Catherine O'Hara being brilliant, and it still wouldn't be enough. She was the best. What a remarkably sad loss.
catherine o’hara was absolutely god-tier at harmonization, first of all, and then the fact that she performed this number in character, with all those subtle expressions and moments, is just…fuck. a once-in-a-lifetime talent

The new Shane Black film "Play Dirty" sadly flew under the radar last year. It's a fun time, and it also has a really great jazzy score from Alan Silvestri.

All of this snow and bitter cold got me remembering to 12 years ago when similar and prolonged conditions led to me making this black metal Super Mario 3 cover

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Pittsburgh showed up to say FUCK ICE, get out of our city, get out of Minneapolis, and stop terrorizing our communities.

To corporations like Target, we see your capitulation and cooperation — we will not hesitate to shut you down.

Corrosion of Conformity tickets secured. Balcony seats, so I can get tore up from the floor up in comfort.

I've seen them several times, between big arena tours and small clubs with 50 people in attendance. I'm good to rest my back with this one.

Finally checking out that fancy TMNT '90 4K. If that Pizza Hut baseball commercial from the VHS isn't on this, I'm throwing it in the trash.

Kinda glad that nostalgia trend of posting 2016 pictures started. It got me looking through mine, which made me realize Google Photos didn't back anything up from that entire year. So now I'm in the process of recovering all those photos from a nearly dead mini SD card from a Samsung Galaxy S4.
