If you get the chance to see Carol Burnett introduce Strangers on a Train on the big screen, you should do that.

Last night was my 5th time Springsteen show and was honestly surprised at how emotional I got. After all of yesterday, being in an arena full of people channeling anger and frustration into joy was magical. Also, @brucespringsteen.net rocked as hard as I’ve ever seen him & Tom Morello just shreds!

This was, in fact, an amazing evening. My @sparksofficial.bsky.social records have been getting worn out since we got back. Always great to see @edgarwright.bsky.social , as well!

I recently got a box from may parents with a lot of my old memorabilia, including a photo of Kevin signing my name badge at DragonCon, said name badge (where Kevin says I may pass and Mike exhorts me to “Filk!”), and my ticket from seeing the movie in Atlanta (had to drive an hour to see it!)

Fun fact about the Hulu splash screen: it’s clearly taken before the episode started taping since I am wearing my LGBTQIA+ Ally pin. It reflected too much on camera, and despite the great efforts of the crew to dull it, I had to put it in my pocket.

I don’t know how many people follow me here that don’t elsewhere, but I realized I never shared on BlueSky that I’m going to be on Jeopardy tomorrow (Dec 2nd, next day Hulu & Peacock)! Tune in to see how I do (and if you’re in LA and want to come to my watch party, message for details)

Ok, picked up a bottle of Plymouth Sloe Gin (a big upgrade over my previous bottle), and we’re on! Surprisingly light cocktail. Bright and refreshing, though almost neutral in flavor. Might do an absinthe spray wash in the glass next time to try and get more anise character.

The RSS reader app I’ve been using includes bullshit AI article summaries, and at least once a day I say something like this, where the summary is 100% the opposite of what the headline and/or article actually says. If you use AI, I just assume you’re stupid and worthless.
