Using this as an excuse to share the best Knopfler story. When weird al asked his permission for “Beverly hillbillies” he said hell yes and asked to play guitar for it. But Knopfler kept noodling and fucking up the track so after he left weird al just had his guitarist re-record it

Errol's baby. At 5 years old I would watch scenes from I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and The Endless Summer 2 on their screens. We got a popcorn bowl from them that lasted ten years after it closed. That's where I learned about Piranha 2 and Drop Dead Fred. Peak of humanity if I'm being honest.

This is insane. It's very sad that a kid born around 2010 has basically never known another era of politics. This is now the norm.

Cool thing about Rick Rubin is you can enjoy his albums and ignore literally anything he has to say
Michael Warburton@michaelwarburton.bsky.social · 18h agoRICK RUBIN on why Hollywood keeps making soulless movies: "So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's commerce."

How long it takes and how hard it is to undo the damage will depend in large part on the political will of the people elected to do it. If you get hand-wringing caveat peddlers who want to deliberate for years before acting it'll never happen. Plan has to be ready on day one
So far my favorite part of this movie is when the Russian submarines switches over to English and all the actors use their normal accents except for Sam Neill who’s still doing a little Russian accent as a treat

Took the bus and as I was in the aisle getting off the driver suddenly closed the doors and drove, sending me flying onto the stairs and then yelled as me as I limped off. But you know what? I still love public transit baby.
Christ we’re getting more Ali G? Ali G wasn’t even funny at the time! At least Borat and Bruno had jokes
This whole conversation is sticking with me. I’m very pro helmet, I’ve lost friends who could’ve been saved by helmets. But there are very good arguments against helmet laws! I’ve seen cops in DC harass cyclists claiming helmets are the law (they aren’t).
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 5d ago"should cyclists wear helmets" discourse is such a good one because the arguments for both positions are totally common-sense and unassailable, everyone just digs in.
The only time I sing public karaoke I sang “in a big country“ and I have no idea how I did I think I blacked out 
Maris Kreizman@maris.bsky.social · 3d agoOkay, but this is what a private karaoke room is made for. One of the most cathartic nights of my life was butchering Prince and George Michael in a private room right after they died.
Private baby: I can feel them in there Sarge, the boogers. Sargent mom: you know what we gotta do soldier Private baby: no sarge…just leave ‘em Sargent mom: you know I can’t do that soldier. Now I’m gonna count to five. One…two..—(SCHLUUUUUURP)
Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social · 3d agoSGT. "SWEET BABY" (panicked): I have lost a visual on Mama. I have lost a visual on Mama. COLONEL DAD: Stand down, Sargeant. You're not clear to engage until after bathtime- SWEETBABY: Going in- DAD: that was a DIRECT ORDER, I will bring you up on charges to the Timeout Tribunal so help me God-
We could at least come up with new things to call the next generation. Like “kids today are too fluffy and tendentious.”
Black Aziz Anansi@blackazizanansi.blacksky.app · 3d agoWhile i agree this new batch of kids ain't right (largely due to the world they were handed) what disgusts me is Millenials calling them lazy and entitled, ya know, JUST LIKE BOOMERS DID TO US!
Awesome photos of the lunar eclipse! Clouds parted just in time to catch views of the almost total lunar eclipse Thursday night. Capital Weather readers shared some amazing photos with us. Here is a sample. Photos by Dave Lyons, Scott Jacobson and Lena Osipova-Stocker
