My pal Matt Haughey recut the first season of Apple TV’s Murderbot into a 3.5-hour-long movie. “I did it fast so there are a few jarring cuts, but I now have an entertaining as hell movie with zero interruptions.” [a.wholelottanothing.org]

Murderbot is a *perfect film*

A couple months ago, we sat down on a weekend and decided to binge re-watch the whole debut season of Murderbot and it was really enjoyable. But fast-forwarding through all the recaps and title/credits screens quickly got old, and I wondered what it'd be like to cut all ten

I ate at loads of high end restaurants all over Italy for two full weeks but the absolute best risotto I had ever on earth was in Rome’s main train station cafeteria.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle. 2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%. The average human is around 20-40%, for reference. They're *all* muscle.

A comparison, showing a hippo standing in shallow water, and a see-through model of a hippo with an extremely thin layer of subcutaneous fat and skin over a body that's thick with muscle.

News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

a wacky idea i unironically believe is that dead suburban shopping malls should all be turned into small public commuter colleges. most non-anchor stores are a decent size to be a classroom, parking/road access is already there, you even have a food court

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social

I am absolutely shocked and gutted. We just talked a couple months ago and I was hoping to see him soon. He was the best person you could ever spend time with in New Orleans, always a wonderful host and someone who showed me how great second lines are. RIP Pableaux. I’ll miss your mixtapes too.

The couch to 5k running program slowly builds endurance with about 16 hours of running spread over 9 weeks. Every year, my town has a turkey trot at 9am on Thanksgiving. So, at 5pm yesterday I began running nonstop so that by 9am today I should be fully trained in the most efficient way possible

I just flew across the country and hearing people cleaning planes only get $12-19/hr is WILD when every traveler pays several hundred or thousands of dollars to be past security. Double their pay, at least. apnews.com/article/charlotte-airpor…

My wife & I flew to Kansas City for the #NWSL women's soccer championship but our hotel canceled our reservation and we ended up staying at another place on the Missouri side. To kill time before tonight's 7pm game we might go see Wicked since we're not in Kansas anymore.

I voted Friday night, dropping my ballot in a box at the county courthouse. They usually count by the next day, but 4d later, still no confirmation of my vote. Maybe there's a backlog, but ballot boxes were torched around Portland so I'm off to the county elections office tomorrow for a new ballot 🤬

RIP Fernando Valenzuela. Only 63! I saw him on TV weeks ago and he looked happy announcing the games for the Spanish broadcast. Last summer I watched an excellent documentary about Fernando from the LA Times and I can't recommend it enough, it's free on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dcv...

A big lesson I've learned in middle age is whenever a friend mentions their dog's age is 12+ and/or their parents are older than 85, never EVER ask them about their dog or folks in the future. Always let them bring the subject up first.

In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have had GenXers building social software 20yrs ago that resulted in today's "doomscrolling" environment. They grew up on nuclear annihilation drills, getting under desks each month to prepare for incoming Soviet missiles.

I heard new balance was making skate shoes and they feel great, like Vans but with arch support. Every NB shoe gets a number and these are the 440. Yep, the 440. Wait, the 440? 420 as your skateboarding shoe was RIGHT THERE, new balance

Sports gambling in the US felt like a minor aspect of sports until it became legal everywhere—then—holy shit, every ad on tv, special bets mentioned by announcers before games, even the new Apple Sports app tells me the betting odds on a women's pro soccer match.

@mikeindustries.com should have started a podcast about the eternal search for slip-on shoes. Ever since he told me about his own quest 10-12 years ago it’s been a low key obsession to find the best possible laceless shoes and it finally feels like we all have tons of options today

I've always said architecture moves slower than the economy or even societal shifts but I love how the DFW airport has pre-2001 terminals where baggage claim used to be just outside your gate, now walled off.

There's nothing I love more than a frustrated TSA agent yelling at everyone to follow a surprise rule that exists only in that airport and isn't properly signed to a group of people that only fly once a year.

I've always lived on the west coast so when east coast friends told me years ago that Market Street in most cities is named for slave markets I'd be like "what?! but every town has one!" and they'd say "yep" Anyway, this sign is 100' from Louisville's Market St

I use my car's horn maybe once a year to prevent an accident but I wish it made two sounds: a) a gentle toot to egg people in front of me to put down their phones and go at green lights b) a Union Pacific Locomotive blast that loosens tooth fillings to alert someone who's about to t-bone me
