I ignored most of the ninth inning of the Red Sox game to watch @morganrichter.bsky.social dissect the Miami Vice episode with Frank Zappa. It was a wise choice. #weaseldust
If you're a child of that era, please go check out what Morgan has posted. She is so, so good. Her videos on Miami Vice-episodes on YouTube gave me an entirely different perspective about them.
She's passionate and passionate-people are my people.
“Once you notice bisexual lighting being used, you can not unsee it” is a discarded lyric from The Dead Milkmen’s (glorious and endlessly quotable) “Stuart.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEp0...
I'm seeing a cluster of posts about how it's so weird that Billy Wilder was alive in relatively contemporary times, and I'm feeling odd and ancient, because Billy Wilder was a guest lecturer at one of my film classes, and I assure you, it didn't seem at all weird then. (Am I old? I'm old, right?)
Seconded. This piece is almost frighteningly insightful about Silicon Valley and our ongoing tech nightmare.
If you only watch one video in which sexy models shoot green lasers out of their butts, it should absolutely be this one. Also features the best public restroom party *ever.* Thank you, Madonna, for this big gloppy slice of ridiculous awesomeness; I needed that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJtc...
We don't usually see each other's headers. Here's mine. Quote post with yours. (Also, please consider adding my weird neo-noir thriller The Divide to your reading list. It earned lovely reviews, including a handful of highly flattering Chandler comparisons, but it never quite found its audience.)
Yesterday on Bluesky, there was a thing going around urging users to pick the most quintessentially 1980s song. I pointedly abstained, because: where to begin? My answer changes by the hour! But today, I'm going to go with Dead Milkmen's Punk Rock Girl: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyaK...
I feel a lot of solidarity with this random guy I saw out walking his dog today, who was talking on his phone but saying only, in rapidly increasing degrees of both volume and agitation, "Human. Human. Human. Human! HUMAN! HUMAN! HUUUUUMAN!!!!!" Been there.
If the Buffy musical episode has a flaw (it doesn’t; it’s the best episode), it’s that there isn’t *quite* enough Giles. But he knocks it out of the park with his effortless range in this number ("Is my slayer too far gone to care?"). Rest well, Anthony Stewart Head. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEZS...

This article by @colindickey.com in @oaklandreviewofbooks.org is not only the best existing review of Backrooms, but it's one of my favorite pieces on tech and Silicon Valley this year.
