Very busy at Stein's, will see if they can start implementing the Seattle fish market style and throw my sandwich to me.
TFW you finally get a chance to sit down and catch up on emails.
Thinking about Yiddish curses and remembering what they used to say about the Austrian: "The day you die will be a Jewish holiday." "Which Jewish holiday?" "Whatever day you die will be a Jewish holiday."

Watching National Lampoon's Vacation movies as a kid: such slapstick, such farce. Watching as a dad on family vacation: Cinema Verite, Dogma. Practically documentaries.

One of my most profound frustrations I have with this city & state is how colossally lazy and stupid our class of criminals are. Like this traffic court scam is not respectable a) on a fundamental corruption level but b) you're just having the marks CashApp you directly? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBsgCWbM/

I love the @antigravitymag.bsky.social hurricane tracking map. Here it is side by side with a vintage K&B map my kid got me. Nicely done! 💜
AI is going to decimate one of the last healthy unions in this country--IATSE, the film/TV workers' union--and I want everyone to remember that it could've been name brand actors like Ben Affleck and film festivals like Tribeca taking a stand against it, instead of buying in.
One way you know you're getting old in New Orleans is when you don't recognize anyone working at Juan's anymore.

Quantum of Solace is a sorely underrated Bond movie, the most complex film of the entire series. The villain is a Eurotrash POS trying to corner the world's water market. Visually stunning, sophisticated, and directed by Marc Forster, who made his name with a little indie called Monster's Ball.

I really appreciate seeing the @antigravitymag.bsky.social voter guide donations come in (*cough*[at]antigravitymag Venmo and PP *cough*) but I really love the donations that come in the days after an election. I love that they were thinking about it long after election fever has broken for most.
Muted someone on Facebook (none of you fine people, of course) and this prompt also reminded me why I'm not religious.

They dressed my kid up as a 610 Stomper at school. This must be how fundamentalist parents feel when they hear their kid's been taught evolution.
I think Sari Jordan is one of those performers who will eventually headline huge venues and you will be able to say, I saw them at Okay Bar in front of 50 people once.
