All this AI danger stuff and what to do to mitigate risk. I'm not seeing enough about the 1974 moratorium on recombinant DNA experiments and the 1975 Asilomar Conference as models for how to deal with this type of disruptive/potentially destructive technology. We forget about that because it worked.

I prefer Hoodoo Man Blues but this is an all time great album cover.

I"d like to do a high-end version of Waffle House and call it Lydia Brunch.

A lobster, but it raps like Brother Ali and toasts like Yellowman. And yet it's still a lobster.

I'm 100% not sure why the internet is all about Nick, but here we are. I'm ok with it, worse things happen.

It’s kind of crazy but the lead singer of Camper Van Beethoven is my current most trusted voice on the dangers ( or lack thereof) of AI.

And then he wrote "You're My Favorite Waste of Time" on the back of a virtual envelope, which is some kind of Da Vinci madness.

You used to love him. Before he started to listen to the Eagles.

Is this the only production by Pete Townshend outside of The Who? I'm not sure why I remember so much about this band, but Speedy Keene and Jimmy McColloch, who played in Wings circa Wings Over America and died too soon. Ambivalent about the song-- catchy.

Also subtitles are annoying, but if you have hearing loss they help.

I know 10% of 2-3 languages beyond English and Spanish and boy is it a great crutch. I'm basically illiterate if that is the bar, but I can get by at a restaurant or the subway in France or Italy or Japan without feeling ashamed.

I went to what turned out to be the last Jerry shows at Soldier's Field July 1995. I brought along 2 friends who had never seen the Dead and bought them t-shirts, which I completely forgot about until a couple of weeks ago when one of them messaged me to say that the shirts sold for $5000 on Ebay.

The thing about Alejandro Escovedo is this: How many Latinos can claim to have been in the Nuns AND Rank and File? Not many!

Truth! And the middle of the day is around 10AM, when I take my first nap.

We can. Unfortunately the number of people who think 1400 is 4PM approaches infinity.

While you are at it, can you also fix that thing where the middle of the night AND the middle of the day are both called 12 o'clock, for some unforgivable reason?

But Owen Wilson is different than both of them, am I correct? I am scoring this according to baseball rules.

Powerage is my favorite. Allegedly Keith Richards' favorite too, although he just doesn't seem like the kind of guy to sit around and decide what his favorite AC/DC record is.

The thing about listening to Jerry Lee Lewis on Sunday nights is that is makes you face the facts about everything you did in the last seven days.

It depends on what you mean by great album. So let me define it for myself-- what artist or band should be in every record collection but likely isn't? AC/DC (because they defiantly never released a greatest hits) and Leonard Cohen. Everybody has an Al Green record, or they don't exist to me.

The stadium looks like an Atlanta Braves game in the 70s, you could buy the cheapest ticket but sit anywhere you wanted.

“Lacksadaisical” is idiomatic southern US English. So that is probably intentional.

You do realize That the amount of $$ you accrue on credit is debt, don’t you? Whether you pay off your balance or not, it is still debt.

This is . . . Wrong.

Yes you are crazy. The risk of an open credit card account is far greater than its impact on your credit score. Especially since your credit score is most influenced by accumulating debt and then paying it off, which a dormant credit card never does.

Cam @drcampatterson.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
Why in the world do you have an active credit card that you haven’t used in 10 years? Your father clearly forgot the second part of “the talk”.

When I commuted into Manhattan, every day for 5 years, I would get to work at 7AM and be in a nervous fit from the drive. And every night I would get home at 8PM and be in a nervous fit from the drive. People in Atlanta complain about the traffic, but it's a piece of cake.

All these people with crystals and super duper vitamins and healing ointments on the left are just the same as MAHA. You who have created vitamin super-centers laid the path that MAHA trod upon. Medicine is science.

The Hideous Vandals had the best song on Lennie Kaye's Nuggets compilation. Ironically, called "Reflection Pool".
