large softcover photo book simply titled "Beach Boys", with a mid-60s photo of the beach boys on it Interior page: THE BEACH BOYS The most comfortable feature of the Beach Boys' supremacy in American popular music is that because their leadership is so complete, their power so valid, their following so enormous, their status so immense, and their talent so towering, one doesn't have to make false claims about them, nor boast; nor even give any explanation for their success. It is obvious that they are unassailable giants-the financial results of their personal appearance tours are one measurement of group strength. It is clear their recording achievements outstrip all other young competitors-they have sold fifteen million singles and eight of thirteen albums have earned them gold discs for sales equivalent to a million per album. It is plain their leader Brian Wilson ranks with the great contemporary composer-producers of the time-the Beatles, the Stones, all the Power-groups acknowledge his genius. So in writing these notes, one is relieved of any obligation to qualify one's praise, and stripped of any need to justify one's admiration. One has merely, the pleasant duty of elaboration on their achievements. The objects of our affection-the Beach Boys, sons of California, toilers in pop music since boyhood, happy, healthy young sportsmen-are splendid unofficial ambassadors for America, and likely to become more widely and importantly so because their international success has so soared in 1966, that foreign travel will be trebled in the coming months. photo spread with headshots of all band members, including (at-the-time) touring-only member Bruce Johnston back inside cover - an ad for the Beach Boys fan club, featuring an application for membership to be cut out and mailed

is it possible we all died in a nuclear blast last night and have entered a bizarre antechamber to purgatory
UNDOING THE LEFT’S WAR ON WATER PRESSURE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure and make America’s showers great again. The Order directs the Secretary of Energy to immediately rescind the overly complicated federal rule that redefined “showerhead” under Obama and Biden. Twice in the last 12 years, those administrations put out massive regulations defining the word “showerhead.” The Biden definition was a staggering 13,000 words. The Oxford English Dictionary, by contrast, defines “showerhead” in one short sentence.

I was thinking this, but it's a whole motif
Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.’

for the next 24 hours you can grab my game Boots Quest DX for 40% off on Steam. it's sort of a spiritual point-and-click adventure that controls like a 2D Zelda. it's zany, heartfelt, and roughly the price of a sandwich

a blobby little cartoon guy is looking at a bookshelf; a message on the screen reads: "here's one... THE BOOTSHINER'S TALE. a fictional story about a lowly bootshiner who saves the kingdom. but it's full of factual errors about bootshining, which really takes you out of it..." a cartoon ball with feet, wearing a beautiful hat and scarf, wanders a snowy wasteland
