Seriously? Fuck these people. This is important information for me as a consumer. Even if I didn't care about the planet, which I do, I'm gonna care about the size of my power bill. This move helps nobody.

Helping my son work on a high school paper about The Reformation. I explained that Luther published history’s first listicle that went viral.

Watching The Decline of Western Civilization (1981) and continuing to muse on the fact that all of these people are in their 60s and 70s now.

Also: X is a better band than website.

Wanna get completely emotionally wrecked by a whiskey commercial? This one still works on me 9 years later.

Saw The Jesus Lizard live at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA. The last time I saw them in town was a little club in 1999 when Yow was really creating stress for the venue managers. The man is in his 60s and is still crowd surfing. Amazing stuff.

Finally watched Zone of Interest.

I’ve never before been so focused on sound in an art form primarily associated with visual story telling. It’s especially brilliant in anticipating the viewer’s ghoulish desire to see atrocity, which it flags in a subtly meta ending. Smart filmmaking.

Green Caddis pupa. They wrap themselves in tiny stone cocoons, which trout eat, and which is why you find these stones in the fish's belly. Nature is neat. #fishing #insects #trout

My politics, phrased most simply, amount to: I don’t want to be told what to do by religious weirdos. The rest is negotiable.

I hand carve little house signs for my pals based on their interests…so that’s the one major bonus for being friends with me.
