Can someone put a tacky light tour route together on Strava or Ride With GPS and send me the link?
-
I got these really high-quality clothespins for my birthday, and they are my new favorite thing.
-
Best joke of the week: The lens flare on the ship reveal in Star Trek: Lower Decks s01e09.
-
I cried a little bit while riding my bike listening to this absolutely excellent episode of You’re Wrong About discussing Flight 571 (the thing Alive was based on). So good!

Welcome to the party, pal.
-
Smile, 2022 — ★★★½.  Derivative but good, like a new Taco Bell menu item.
-
Looking for a leather / sustainably-made ID badge holder—know anyone making something neat?
-
Darkest Hour, 2017 — ★★★★.  I forgot this was Gary Oldman for the last 60 minutes.
-
My favorite Moby Dick bot account just moved to Mastodon.
-
I’m not against VCU’s intro video, but the way it’s currently implemented really sucks the energy out of the room. Let’s get the band involved instead of a canned sound track!
-
Season two of Black Summer was hard to watch in the best of ways.
-
Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva, 2022 — ★★★½.  Where are they now: Ma-Ti, the “heart” planeteer from Captain Planet.
-
Greenland, 2020 — ★★★.  If you don’t have marriage problems are you even in a disaster film?
-
Nope, 2022 — ★★★★.  Blood rain scene made me gasp.

Anne Helen Petersen writing about the Instagramification (or, more broadly, the public performance) of holidays:
In this way, leprechaun magic becomes the norm for the next generation. And when something becomes a norm, deviating from it — even when it exhausts you, even when you think it’s ridiculous, even when you know it has no bearing on your actual love or care for your child — can feel a lot like being a bad parent.

Hellraiser, 2022 — ★★★½.  If you get monkey-pawed once by a horrifying flayed creature, that’s on them. But if you get monkey-pawed twice by a horrifying flayed creature, that’s on you, buddy.

Was stopped three deep (of bikes!) at a light on Floyd Avenue tonight.
-
The marrow soup situation in Harrow the Ninth is the best, most disgusting, most wonderful scene. 🩻 📚
-
Barbarian, 2022 — ★★★★½.  The duvet ghost got me gooooood. What a delight!
-
Same, but for speeches and public statements!
Sometimes it’s also hard to listen to a person tell a story IRL because I can’t stop hearing all the places I would edit if it were audio. It’s hard to turn off my intense listening brain and just let something wash over me.
-
When the game is blacked out for whatever incomprehensible reason.
-
A Day in the Life — Richmond, VA — 8:00 PM (I forgot to eat dinner)
-
The Power of the Dog, 2021 — ★★★★.  Hula hoop the pain away.

Just finished my second reading of Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. So entirely worth it!
