Sure there’s all three Portishead albums, Kate Bush, some early Queen, Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, Milla Jovovich’s only album, Fish-era Marillion, New Pornographers, but if forced to choose absolute favorite album: The Letting Go by Bonnie “Prince” Billy.

In general, this is a terrible idea, but in Snyder’s case I doubt anyone could tell the difference. (I will go to my grave saying this: While it’s hardly great cinema, the Whedon cut of Justice League is *vastly* superior to the drudgery of the so-called Snyder cut.)

For me, nothing else even remotely comes close (though I do like the soundtrack for the first Life Is Strange game, which included great tracks from Amanda Palmer, Alt-J, and others).

I’m not really a podcast listener usually, but I’ve listened to a lot of these and they’re *really* good. Jess is a fantastic moderator/interviewer imo.
Hi! Do you love #science? Do you like listening to or watching interesting people talk science that matters in the real world?

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Received the email from MD that my mail-in ballot had been received—I dropped it at a drop box instead of actually mailing it. So here’s all the “I Voted” stickers they sent me.

To all those cancelling their Los Angeles Times and Washington Post subscriptions: The Philadelphia Inquirer is quite good and can use your dollars, and their stories are fairly well written. (They do tend to be a little provincial, but more dollars equals more reporters they can hire.)

Just ordered this yellow one. Fair warning: I will post a pic of me in it once it arrives. Shield your eyes; send your kids to the other room.
It's being sold by award-winning author Michael Chabon. All proceeds go to the Harris/Walz campaign.

Gen X Knows What It Takes . The day Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz to be her running mate, I felt the call, my generation’s call. To do something, make something, to celebrate...

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a big fan of Obama/Biden, even though it took Obama far too long to realize the republican party are now just pouty children who can’t be negotiated with, but Harris/Walz is the best Presidential ticket this country has ever had.

I think my favorite Olympic sport is now BMX Freestyle. There are a lot of sports I know I couldn’t do at all (besides all of them), gymnastics rings, figure skating, but good lord. Other than some minor mountain biking, I don’t even like the wheels of my bike to leave the ground at all.

Picking up the RV today for emissions test, a worker at the storage place said, “What have you got, malaria?”
Folks, you’ll be proud that I kept myself from saying, “What have you got, stupidity?” I kept to the slightly less aggro, “No, but I’m smarter than those who know nothing about science.”

Obviously Hunter isn’t on the ballot, so his convictions are irrelevant to who I’ll be voting for, but I’d still vote for Hunter over literally any republican.
