I just watched it and the only part I liked was the 2 seconds in which I thought Callum Turner was Josh O’Connor. RE: https://flipboard.com/@gizmodo/i09-ifm0rl1hz/-/a-iZlRYl4gSeGDpGUdG7nDfQ%3Aa%3A1876139665-%2F0

Zero seconds after seeing these photos (of an album I think I haven’t heard in 30+ years), I said, loudly, “I love my baby cause she does good sculpture, yeah” This is what a good 90% of my brain cells are tied up with. RE: https://sfba.social/@historyofpunkrock/116955685384189569

Fuck literally every single person working in this administration. “Gonzales was a private with the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command in Ansbach, Germany. She graduated last year from Hebron High School in Carrollton, near Dallas, school officials said.” She died in Jordan. She was a literal teenager.

Few movie scenes make me more uncomfortable (consistently, every time) than this one, from the documentary X: The Unheard Music Here's one of my favorite songs OF ALL TIME and then, there it is, the ghoulish spectre, talent vampire Ray Manzarek, fist-pumping in the control room. (Manzarek produced the first four X albums, some of my favorite records ever, so you'd think I'd feel more kindly towards him . . . but . . . The Doors. 'nuff said.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em...

I keep thinking riffs on “this is the future Libertarians want” — people who would prefer not to shit themselves to death can simply individually replicate the apparatus of a functioning state? RE: https://beige.party/@TheJen/116946737198019612

When I was in high school, PBS broadcast Sherman’s March, the Ross McIlwee documentary. It blew my mind. Somehow, mysteriously, the local PBS affiliate had an equipment room in our high school (???), and the next day I found someone to run me off a VHS dub of the movie. People always talk about life-changing moments, but for real, it’s kind of amazing that I can pin this one down. RE: https://tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles/116908932670981829

Statistically speaking, no matter which short illness killed Lindsey Graham, odds are overwhelmingly good that RFK Jr made it worse.

I would believe that #KiCAD has a perfectly rational way of doing things, and I just need to learn what that is, were it not for the objectively asinine way it handles board outlines, a thing that literally every PCB requires.

Good article, worth reading. Don’t let this tragically funny, apparently sincere opening sentence put you off: “Ivy League college students are, by definition, intelligent.” RE: https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/116886597410249619

This drink, from _beta cocktails_ by Kirk Estopinal and Maksym Pazuniak, is every bit as delicious and easy drinking as you’d expect it to be. Even if you don’t have raspberries (which I do not). Easy Does It 1 oz Plymouth Gin 1/2 oz Aperol 1/4 oz Campari 1 oz grapefruit juice 1/2 oz simple syrup (1:1) 3 raspberries Shakes and strain over a rock. Garnish with 3 raspberries on a skewer.

It's amazing how Sinead O'Connor could transform an objectively terrible idea -- Roger Waters + The Band + The Hooters performing "Mother" -- into something beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6rNEeGQJas

My spouse is *very* happy that Alex Ovechkin will be back for one more year. I have mixed feelings — the whole chase for the Gretzky record was a huge distraction, and now this year is gonna make Fleury’s farewell tour look like an office birthday party. OTOH, I think the trades and UFA signings are gonna make the 26-27 Caps an interesting (and fun) team to watch. So: we’ll see. I still wouldn’t bet on them to make it past the 2nd round of the playoffs, tho. #NHL #Hockey

YES I have been watching all of the video from the #Rush tour with Anika Nilles on drums and YES I just bought a ticket for one of the Charlotte shows. Last time I saw Rush in Charlotte was probably . . . 1984?

Been looking at Bluesky via Tapestry (it’s great, you can’t actually post, which is useful in this scenario). I intentionally don’t follow many people over there, but even with that, the snotty dunk-centric discourse shows through. Like, apparently the Europeans are all arguing with the Americans about whether air conditioning is evil. The flavor over there is a little more along the lines of what everyone here was afraid would happen when Mastodon added QTs. (Which hasn’t really come to pass h...
