This one is my unabashed love letter to @gamechangershow.bsky.social, continuing the tradition of videos in which a man in a suit bursts out of nowhere to spring a gameshow on unwitting contestants. I play Kevin; Felipe plays Bobby; Iman plays Maria, Bobby's mom.

I successfully named FOUR Canadian premiers today while chatting with a colleague, after he, a Canadian, identified a congresswoman I spoke of as member of the House Progressive Caucus. My colleague was pleased and flabbergasted; my fellow Americans, the bar is in hell!

What are other movies you'd like to see *in space*?
Star Wars is already at that sweet spot of war movie/western/samurai picture; I feel like YOJIMBO in space would be a helluva good time.

i would welcome however another attempt to do THE DIRTY DOZEN in space.
rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

a story about taxes and donkeys
A friend I've known for many years, long before moving to DC, works for the US Treasury. Major Crimes and Fraud, SDNY. His job is to take billionaires to court on behalf of taxpayers. Add him to my short but growing list of People For Whom I Feel Patriotism.

I am sure a million people have made this connection before but I hadn't seen AVATAR since it was in theaters in 2009.
But damn me if James Cameron hasn't read FOREIGNER, because COME ON

Listening to the PLURIBUS tie-in podcast, I'm realizing for the first time that Vince Gilligan has an extremely plummy, cheery sounding timbre, with an accent that reminds me of nothing so much as Goofy, the Disney character.
An American treasure, this man! I'd never heard his voice before now.

My wonderful friend Jules worked on this game, but I would have picked it up regardless. It's so eerie and beautiful and FUN, and yet it makes room for softness and grief.
Hard recommend; can't wait to dive into what's beyond the demo tonight.

If you had a 50-gallon cauldron, what would you cook in it? What sort of parties would you throw as an excuse to haul this thing out?
By the end of the afternoon, this is how full it got. Ruth and Avi purchased *15 bushels of apples*.
I don't think I've done anything quite so autumnal in a really long time.

Letter of recommendation: get you a friend who has a 50-gallon cauldron and spend the weekend making an UNSPEAKABLE quantity of apple butter. My old college friend Ruth invited us out to her place for an apple butter shindig, and we're already scheming about more ways to use that magnificent kettle.

I received exactly one real phone call today. Everything else has been spam. I used to enjoy getting phone calls! Now, my default assumption is that a robot or a recording is lying to me about a parking ticket in a place I've never lived.

Great news out of my alma mater! Thanks, y'all. Thanks for not knuckling under.
This decision leaked in an Arts & Sciences faculty meeting yesterday afternoon, and, while I suspect it'll take a minute for the student paper to update after today's email, credit to them that they had this story up this morning. www.studlife.com/news/2025/10...

I think my big takeaway from yesterday's protests is that we should be teaching people all the lyrics to the battle hymn of the republic. Someone brought a little flute and piped little martial tunes and it was honestly wonderful
