Still buzzing after last night’s album release show celebrating Tunde Adebimpe’s first solo record Thee Black Boltz at Zebulon. The album sounded great live, and have been listening to it nonstop since! @subpop.bsky.social.

Blown away by tonight’s Jack White ( @officialjackwhite.bsky.social ) show. A mix of old and new. Finally hearing The Hardest Button to Button and Seven Nation Army live was transcendent.

Returned to the Vista for the first time since 2019, I think, to see The Brutalist on 70MM. What a film to come back to!

Got to revisit one of my favorite theaters in California today. I’ve seen so many great films here, and today was no different. Loved seeing The Muppet Christmas Carol at the Historic Camelot Theatre at the Palm Springs Cultural Center!

It’s been a long time since it’s happened before, but after buying, playing, and loving Balatro on the Nintendo Switch, I also bought it on my iPhone. One of the most addicting games I’ve played in a while. A perfect, “I got time, oh wait it’s been three hours…” sort of game.
