The best music, movies, TV, comics, and anime came out between 1977 and 1990.
In an amazing coincidence, this corresponds to when I was between 5 and 18 years old.
I'm sorry for everyone else that everything that came before and after was not as good. I hope you were still able to find some joy.

DAMMIT It's Not Alzheimer's! Here's Why It's A Far Worse Nightmare Scenario
You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.

Got profiled at an art opening again earlier tonight. Security guard told me I wasn’t allowed in there, even though it was free and open to the public. I literally had to show him the @glasstire.bsky.social listing on my phone to prove I knew what was going on.

That’s still the best Golden Globes. Christine Lahti winning an award, but she was in the bathroom (and Robin Williams vamping until she got onstage). Jack Nicholson accepting his Cecil B. DeMille Award by talking out his ass like Jim Carrey. And this moment.

One of my absolute favorite TV moments: 1997. Ving Rhames, brilliant in the HBO film Don King: Only In America, is up for a Golden Globe against Gary Sinise, Matthew Modine, Armand Assante, and Jack Lemmon. He wins. And then... youtu.be/gt6cm7yu9iM
