Thank YOU. I believe profoundly that the only correct response to pleasure is gratitude rather than guilt

At this point, if you haven't seen the music video for Moth GF by James Gameboy, it says more about the listener than it does the song. With no news coverage and negligible playlist presence, it's easy to claim ignorance. youtu.be/St6eiwKe6Hw?...

Just your annual reminder to raise a glass to Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov who on this date in 1983 saved ALL our lives when he decided to wait for evidence in stead of passing on the message that could have caused armageddon.

Now that I need reading glasses, I’ve started keeping my “computer glasses” in this fuzzy cup on the desk. My wife points at them and makes a honking kind of laugh. I think it’s convenient and smart and a little rebellious. AITA

A discovery made while reading John Godey’s ‘The Taking of Pelham 123’: in 1973, he invents the fictional broadcast network UBS. Three years later, what does Chayefsky name the fictional network in Lumet’s ‘Network’? My 70s boys, hanging out together 😁
From the book: The news departments of the stations-networks and locals-sent crews with mobile equipment winging off downtown. Universal Broadcasting System, the largest of the networks, sent the largest and most plushly equipped crew of any and, in addition, dispatched Stafford Bedrick, their news superstar,Still from the movie: Faye Dunaway in front of a UBS logo

Platonically ideal restaurant aesthetic… We were grabbing lunch for the drive home so I went with my battle-tested road trip food: shrimp cocktail. Bright, cooling, sits beautifully on a stomach that’s seated for hours.
