I'm glad I finally started watching Hacks before my HBO cancellation kicks in this December - and that I can get DVDs at the library of anything else I've missed after that.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

If you’ve ever wondered just how much jubilation comes with a first MLB homer, let Lazaro Montes demonstrate:

That's it! Moulton is officially a loser, Markey projected to win!!

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

Thank you for the reminder! This also works if you're able to log in . . .

Today in caption review: YouTube guessed "WB8" for W.B. Yeats. Score another one for the humans.

If you review records and you haven't received an email from me about the two new Vardaman albums in October and you'd really like to at least hear them (or just one), let me know and I'll send ya something. I guess the reverse could also be true, ask me to never send anything. It's up to you.
