On a Redford movie binge. I was skeptical that "The Horse Whisperer" would hold up. It does. Fantastic movie and a fantastic performance by Redford.

Before cell phones, after driving 2 hours home from a family visit we’d promise:
“We’ll call your number and let it ring 3 times so you know we made it safely. Don’t pick up."
Long distance calls were expensive.

Wow...yep it came together that night. Probably the best I've seen.
Jeeze, then it rolled into REM 1984 in Passaic, NJ and then Of Montreal from way back. Shit, I love this playlist.
Thanks, Merlin.

This is so cool. My computing history is: Timex Sinclair 1000 -> Commodore VIC-20 -> Commodore 64. The Commodore 64 with the 1541 floppy drive was the game changer for me.
Love to see this. My finger is hovering over the "Preorder" button.

@gruber.foo Regarding "ABC Shuts Down FiveThirtyEight, and Pulls the Plug on Its Website," the other thing to mention is that they (ABC) invested in and paid good money for years to produce the very content that they pulled the plug on. It makes no sense.

Some have disappointed, some have bad policy, some made big mistakes. But I’ve never in my life been ashamed of American leaders. Until today.

Interesting. I have it myself. Are you talking about a cold plunge, or just exposing your hands to cold water.

From Bobby's subsequent post:
Remember, law violators could be fined up to $5k x the number of people who gained access to the app. That’s potentially a multi-billion-dollar fine. And statute of limitations exceeded Trump’s term (5 years) creating possibility of prosecution from DJT successor.

Congratulations to Chuck Scarborough on his retirement. If you grew up in the NYC area, you know he's been a fixture reporting local NYC area new on NBC4 for over 50 years. An absolute professional and someone who I know I will sorely miss. Thank you, Chuck.
