XPN has announced the theme of this years 885 Best Songs countdown, and it is "songs from movies and TV". My first thought was "they could just play Scorsese soundtracks for a couple of days". But there's going to be some gems in this list, I think. Theme songs, intro/outro music...

I had a crown come loose, so I was happy to hear my dentist could make time to see me today. I left work and went in to be told "okay, we'll send your x-rays to your insurance and they'll tell us what you can have done." This sucks, but I guess it's better than finding out later this wasn't covered.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

it is my birthday and all I want is for you to check out my webcomic and consider grabbing the print version 🙏 The 3rd book is currently funding on KS, and although it met it's goal, it still has about $3,500 before it reaches its cover enhancement stretch goal so it can match the first two books🌟

I decided long ago that I didn't have the attention span to keep up with ten Marvel TV shows, four Marvel movies, six DC TV shows and two DC movies every year. I'm sure I've missed some gems by not keeping up, but that's life. That said, Lanterns is pretty good.

I'm idly planning a long train trip for sometime. I'm going to crochet a blanket to fill the time, but I need music to fill an hours-long playlist. Lately I'm listening to a lot of Mountain Goats and my XPN countdown playlists (linked in replies). Any suggestions?
