Is this Mike doing Eddie Munson cosplay? Or is it Mike wearing the same leather jacket and denim vest he wore in the 1980s? Holding the same Dungeons & Dragons manuals he used back then?
Hint: Ask anybody who knew me in the 1980s. This ain't cosplay.

Revitalizing my chicken stock with fresh scraps and vegetable peelings from Thanksgiving. I’ve been keeping this stock going for about three years now, a personal record! My place smells so good! Gonna let this simmer until nightfall.

Was watching a YouTube thing on some of the lowest rated shows of the late 1970s, and JAMES AT 15 was listed among them. I was flooded with memories of the show. I'd always wanted to escape from Buffalo to Boston for a number of reasons. (1)

From AP:
‘MAGA Missouri State Sen. Bill Eigel (seen here burning boxes) said he would burn books he found objectionable, and that he'd do it on the lawn outside the governor's mansion. He later said it was all a metaphor for how he would attack the "woke liberal agenda."'

The *VERY INSTANT* I'm writing my review of BUGONIA while listening to WMBR and mention Jarry's play UBU ROI, Dave Thomas of the Band Pere Ubu (named after that play's main character) comes on and does a station ID. Coincidence? Synchronicity? Or Jarry's Pataphysics? I choose the third possibility.

Film Review: "Bugonia" - A Delightfully Warped Night at the Movies - The Arts Fuse
There's a profound catharsis in watching "Bugonia," one that echoes the catharsis articulated by those who attended the 'No Kings' protests on the 18th.
