A screencap from Blazing Saddles, a movie that holds up and could *absolutely* still be made today.

What the hell, Google?
Google's A.I. response to the query "sterling point"

There is no widely recognized television drama series officially titled "Sterling Point". It is possible you are thinking of a similarly named show, a localized indie project, a book adaptation, or a specific location/story arc within another popular drama.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains Villains by The Verve Pipe (1996) Straightforward pop-rock; catchy as hell. My favorite track is "Photograph," but the whole album is great.

The Pantera album "Far Beyond Driven" on CD. I destroyed it when going through a personal religious revival as a teenager, then bought it again a year or two later when the religion didn't stick, but my love of metal did. 😄

The smoking really did a number on a lot of people. Rod Serling, of the original Twilight Zone, was in his 30s when he introduced episodes of the show. He was a heavy smoker.

Cheryl Bean, GOP candidate for Texas House District 94, deleted a Facebook post of WNBA player Sophie Cunningham on a boat with her Indiana Fever teammates, posing similarly to the “Washington Crossing the Delaware” painting and to her viral meme. Comments on the post pointed out why only Black players have floaties and none of the white players do.

Shout-out to one of the best people on BlueSky, Josh Gondelman! 💙 www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/189-algae-an...
This isn't especially funny, but it is true! Your heart (figurative) and brain (literal) are elastic and bigger than you think. Joy and pain can keep taking turns (and will occasionally arrive in tandem) in ways you didn't expect. I've been thinking lately about how the more love you have in your life the more loss you will inevitably feel unless an unexpected tragedy befalls you and then everyone around you has to feel that loss. But the pain of loss is orders of magnitude better than the pain of loneliness. And the loneliness you feel now is a problem that you can solve in time. And the heaviness of memory will make you strong enough to carry it the longer you walk around with it.

Mr. Acker from Better Call Saul. In one scene, he's handed a "proposal" for representation from scrappy lawyer Saul Goodman, who insists that Acker look at it. It's just a picture of a man fucking a horse, which throws him for a bit of a loop.
