Random thought I just had: when Dune Part 3 comes out, there will be one plot point where a lot of people (who haven't read Dune Messiah) but who saw the Matrix sequels 20+ years ago will say "oh wow, *that's* where the Wachowskis got that idea from"

The McFerrin house considers anyone who uses the rating systems "1 to 10" or "letter grades" as opposed to the highly accepted new and more robust rating system, "Hexadecimal," THE ENEMY. Music Reviewer JOHN P MCFERRIN

My 9 albums that shaped me isn't my nine favorite albums: it's 9 albums that represent significant markers in how my music taste evolved over time: In approximate order of encounter:

Every time Deshaun Watson comes up I remember that the media figure who I heard beat the drum loudest in the pre-draft run-up that Watson had impeccable character and was born to lead men was none other than Mike Lombardi

If NFL broadcasters are going to treat Deshaun Watson being ok at QB as a sign that he has been Redeemed For His Past, they must remain ideologically consistent. If he starts playing badly again they have to blame it on his failure to repent for his heinous sexual misconduct

It's hard to properly explain to somebody who doesn't follow baseball just how improbable it felt 2 years ago that the White Sox would win a playoff series in 2026. For my music friends, imagine if out of nowhere the next Yes album was good.

50 years ago today, Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in the Key of Life' was released. It spent thirteen consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 and won a Grammy for Album of the Year...
