I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

In other news, Luckin Coffee is doing some kind of... collaboration... with Crocs? I do not understand the synergy supposedly at work here, but. They're paying my boy to appear in ads for this, so sure! Coffee and plastic shoes! Aesthetic fun times! \o/ Everyone go buy some Crocs and also coffee!

This is part of a long and excellent thread about art and the making of it, but I'm pulling out this bit because, truly, The Middleman was a thing of joy and I'm so grateful it exists. (A bit further down is the link for how to watch it now. I cherish my DVD set.)

among the many failures in my career, there is the one show i created and shepherded through a great deal of travail into a twelve episode order, it's a show called "the middleman", it has a small but wonderful dedicated fan community...

Okay, I need the Pound to stop doing this. Like, what the fuck England. For my BIRTHDAY? This is so rude, please reverse course right now. Which is to say, I'll be in London next week and I'm not loving where the exchange rate is going. For my BIRTHDAY. 😠

Anyway, I had been planning to get some stuff done today, but no. Just sat in front of the fan all day, watching YouTube and eating ice cream. Full of ice cream now, oops. (Living room at 7 am, after closing all the windows, vs. 6:20 pm)
