It's my birthday this week, so I treated myself to a little present: a DIY homage to Dirk Pitt's classic Doxa watch.

#nw: ROAD TO HONG KONG (1962) A very solid capstone on a rocky series, this time riffing James Bond. Yep, MGM sent them to space in this one. Come for the musical numbers, stay for the truly disturbing "banana machine" sequence.

Just fact checking this: I think Brad is being factitious here. He's suggested that Rage *become* the new brand in the previous tweet, and I think doubling down on that here. There's no indication that it's actually changed.
BRAD ESPOSITO:
Probably never been a better time for the ABC to actually take a swing at regenerating a youth audience.

Free idea: relaunch RAGE as a digital youth media brand, leave Triple J to focus on Music. Print RAGE mag quarterly. Publish platform-first.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Vonnegut, 1996
“I work at home, and if I wanted to, I could have a computer right by my bed, and I’d never have to leave it. But I use a typewriter, and afterward I mark up the pages with a pencil. Then I call up this woman named Carol out in Woodstock and say, “Are you still doing typing?” Sure she is, and her husband is trying to track bluebirds out there and not having much luck, and so we chitchat back and forth, and I say, “Okay, I’ll send you the pages.”

Then I go down the steps and my wife calls, “Where are you going?” “Well,” I say, “I’m going to buy an envelope.” And she says, “You’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in the closet.” And I say, “Hush.”

So I go to this newsstand across the street where they sell magazines and lottery tickets and stationery. I have to get in line because there are people buying candy and all that sort of thing, and I talk to them. The woman behind the counter has a jewel between her eyes, and when it’s my turn, I ask her if there have been any big winners lately.I get my envelope and seal it up and go to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of Forty-seventh Street and Second Avenue, where I’m secretly in love with the woman behind the counter. I keep absolutely poker-faced; I never let her know how I feel about her. One time I had my pocket picked in there and got to meet a cop and tell him about it.

Anyway, I address the envelope to Carol in Woodstock. I stamp the envelope and mail it in a mailbox in front of the post office, and I go home.

And I’ve had a hell of a good time. I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different.”

Quote: "Those claims also included videos showing a “bear” damaging the cars.

To further verify that the figure in the videos was not a real bear, the insurance department said it took the footage to biologists with the California department of fish and wildlife to review. That agency also concluded that it was clearly a human wearing a bear suit, authorities said."
