I like movies and music in probably like a 65/35 split. I like food of all kinds but have no desire to learn how to cook.

Already halfway through.

I reckon Nilay is referencing a rather unfortunate NYT article. (Gift link, but not worth reading)

...But then(!) it also gives a View Workout Video option (we learned it just opens YouTube to search results for bike rides or some such) and you can apparently also earn "badges".

Overall, a fun discovery I was not aware of.
Grey info box hovering over a tv show, an on-screen arrow is hovering on top of a button that reads reads "View workout video". There's a badge icon next to the ride duration. When you click on it, a dialog box pops up that reads "This badge is earned after working out 1 days in a row."

...I didn't know why it would want to but I figured I could probably disconnect them later, so I told her to do it and see what happens.

Once it was connected, the TV put up an overlay that showed various stats as I was riding.

Kinda neat!

...

RIP, Dr. Alec Lentz.
A frame from the hit 1993 film, The Fugitive, of Dr. Alec Lentz in a tuxedo at a charity event. He's looking to his left (our right) and appears to be in thought. Neither he nor the audience knows it yet, but he will soon be dead.

My good friend Michael (@bullshit.rodeo) went to Japan and all I got was a lovely box of nice things that he sent to me in the name of friendship!
A box of mushroom shaped chocolate coverer cookie sticks, a pretty postcard (the message is private - for my eyes only!), a package of beautiful stickers, and a good luck charm for success.

My wife and I went to the Detroit Film Theatre to watch a French trio play a whimsical live score to an hour's worth Georges Méliès films and then I made this clay face at the DIA.

I hope that y'all are well.

I think this is just the General's seasonal Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch but with a dash of cinnamon.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but regardless, it's not bad!

In honor of this being Hollywood's Biggest Night (the Oscars), a sincerely beloved text exchange of mine (about the Emmys) between me and my good friend Jesse (@movieshelf.bsky.social).

I hope that everyone has a fine day leading up to the Red Carpet and then enjoys the Main Event!
Jesse: Up to anything this evening? Me: Yo. I just finished some chores and I'm about to warm up pasta and put on the Emmys. J: lol Have fun. Me: I don't believe you're laughing. J: Oh, more of a chuckle. Me: Out loud, or more to yourself? col or ctm J: COL I just forgot that you love pageantry. Me: I lol'd at that because it's true, I do. J: Let me know if The Bear wins for best comedy.

I just replaced a soft close undermount drawer bracket/mount thing and boy are my arms tired.

And girl does my back hurt.

Time for chips, queso, and a margarita!

The AMC A-List subscription is being updated this May for the first time since it launched in 2018. Reading the email, I was waiting for the part about a potential price hike, and I had to chuckle when I saw it.

(Admittedly, other tiers were more affected, but still, this is pretty funny.)
Cropped screenshot of the AMC A-List subscription updates email I just received which states: "Price Adjustment: For the first time since the program's 2018 launch, the $19.95/month+tax fee for your A-List membership will adjust to $19.99/month+tax – still at an incredible bargain. Your plan will be based on the location of your preferred theatre..."

Every time I see the poster for The Last Showgirl, I see the finger and thumb of a large Muppet's hand reaching down from the heavens to pick up Pamela Anderson by the head; I do not see the two colorful feathered plumes of a showgirl's headdress.

@jimmypardo.bsky.social, @mynameisgaron.bsky.social Welcome to this B.S! Here's something uninteresting:

I've been going back through old NNFs and heard something that's the opposite of y'all's curse - congrats on getting Taylor and Mandy together!
Cropped screenshot of a Signal message to a friend that reads "This is both interesting and uninteresting: I'm listening to NNF 14A with Dave Holmes, and they brought up Mandy Moore and how she's married to Ryan Adams. Then later they're talking about Taylor Goldsmith from Dawes and how he's one of Dave's crushes and how Jimmy met him at Conan and he was really nice. Taylor has now been on NNF and is married to Mandy and they probably have no idea that this conversational coincidence happened. That is all."

I just ate the Big Cheez-It Crunch wrap Supreme and it was good(!), but I probably won't get it again.
Cropped screenshot of the Taco Bell app shows that Rewards Members (me) have early access to order tostadas or Crunchwrap Supremes where the tostada part is actually a big Cheez-It.
