Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man is going into the public domain on January 1st in case anyone wants to make a horror film about an adorably drunk couple and their dog chasing, like, a killer clown or something.

Who's got the hookup for me to talk music with Tiffany Anders and/or Sterlin Harjo? I feel like we could have a time.

Many things accomplished today, yet I somehow still feel hollow & drained.
Perhaps I will watch every single special feature on the FREAKY TALES Blu-ray & eat some tacos. That'll perk me up.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Off work, watching comedy news programs (Have I Got News for You, Last Week Tonight), & pretending tomorrow does not involve as much editing as it actually does.

Sometimes, you have to step away from the computer to do some kitchen shit. Making food & doing dishes after is maybe the best way for me to calm down & refocus.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Opening several days in a row has completely thrown me off. And then I'm closing tomorrow, too, so the things I told people I could attend will not see me there.
It does mean we get to record the new @reportcarnage.bsky.social after I've been awake longer than an hour, which should be good, though.
