Rhoda, Red Hand Gang, Villa Alegre… the 70s truly were the last golden age of TV theme songs consisting of a bunch of kids warbling “La la la la!”

Sad to hear this. MTT's recording of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony No. 3 was one of my formative classical recordings back in the day. So glad I finally got to see him conduct Mahler's 9th in person a few years back. www.classicfm.com/artists/mich...

I dreamed that they were making a Newhart sequel series. It was now a dramedy mystery show with a Twin Peaks vibe, and the only actor returning was Darryl #2. Who can I pitch to make this a reality?

What was your #childhoodcinema ? I probably spent more time at the (long gone) Hilcrest 4, but my other childhood cinema, the Trail Theater in St. Joe MO, recently reopened as a rep movie house, showing classic films and hosting live events. Hope to catch a film there next time I visit home!

I made a conscious decision last year for my mental health to spend less time doomscrolling social media and do more reading. This is the result - all the books I read in 2025 - part 1!

I've heard people claim that Kash Patel and his ilk are cosplaying at being government officials. This is not a good comparison...cosplayers generally know something about the roles they are assuming, and do the work to make it authentic. These guys are Halloween costuming as officials.

Same here. All I got are all-time stats. But I’m pretty sure that my most listened-to new album this year was the Beths’ “The Straight Line Was a Lie.”
