Dad in Seattle. Software QA by day. I like weird music, cooking food, arty movies and tabletop games. Be kind to others.
I missed the reveal of the new Pokémon pinball game. Stern is going to sell a ton of these: sternpinball.com/game/pokemon/

I’m watching HELP! for the first time and this is delightful. A Hard Days Night was fun, but this is special.

In a just world there would be 20 versions of this movie with other bands.

Kinda shocked at the songs Geese chose to play on SNL.

This new album from Juliana Barwick & Mary Lattimore is a wonderful balm. I might just keep this on repeat all day: music.apple.com/us/album/tra...

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Zach Condon has a way with melody that gets to me in a way that few other musicians do.

Tonight we started Fellowship of the Ring with our boys. I haven’t watched this in at least 10 years and forgot just how good it is.

😭 love to see Aidy come back for Bowen’s last show so they could do one last Trend Forecasters bit.

😂 at Cameron Winters getting a callout in this SNL sketch. Tho the Kate Bush / Yoko Ono bit was unnecessarily mean.

I love that in “Let it Snow”, the guy has a line like “I brought some corn for popping”, as though that may get someone reconsider letting you stay.

What else would you do with dried corn in this scenario, make home-made cornmeal?

Maybe the most unrealistic thing in Home Alone: it’s Christmas Eve and there’s a 60 kid choir singing with hardly anyone in the pews?!

It’s crazy how good Home Alone is

AirPods + Volume Limiting is one of my favorite things. Going to concerts and having earplugs that will reproduce everything up to 100db is magic.

if you cannot prevent your model from doing this, you have an ethical, moral, and, probably, legal obligation not to release it, and if you’re working at openAI right now, this blood is on your hands, too

It was a great fall day seeing a matinee of Chicago, followed up by an early Destroyer concert.

I set up a projector in our garage, and watching movies out here has grown to be a joy. I’m watching They Live tonight and this movie is so great.

😳 made it to Act 3 in Silksong. I’m amazed at how big this game is.

Oh man, was not prepared to see the news about D’Angelo. Too many black artists die too young.
