Just remembering when my kids were younger and they called all sodas “Diet Coke” like they were from Diet Georgia.

I remember reading an interview with him on rolling stone during the 1988 primary season and realizing that his politics aligned with mine 100%. I have been a fan ever since.

Oh no. I knew he’s been ill for some time but I still somehow thought he’d live forever. Easily one of the best if not THE best book interviewer around. I’d always dreamed of being on bookworm one day.

I’m sure the cat took umbrage with your reaction as well.

The ban on prerecorded music is one of those things so many people don’t know about. (It also includes bans on sequencers and drum machines).

Last year I ended up at the airport for 14 hours because I missed my flight by 1 minute. As a bonus I got covid.

1. I did not make this up.
2. Pretty sure if corporate America could make money from this, it would be back in a jiff.

Valentine’s Day is so commercialized now. Back in the olden days, the men would slaughter animals, use the hides to whip the women then pull their names out of a jar to decide who would couple with whom.¹ But Hallmark can’t make money off that so now we get THIS.²

That was my first LC album. Now I have everything he’s recorded and a gajillion covers. Twice in my life I’ve lived a couple miles away from him without knowing. A real genius.

Stan Love whose tenure at Mudd overlapped with our time there (I think he was class of 87) also became a nasa astronaut.

One important that way a person slapping a Nazi isn’t as bad as a Nazi is, and this is key, they aren’t a Nazi.

Does anybody actually read posts on LInkedIn or even visit the site when they’re not looking for a job?

1. You might not know it but you probably have access to Kanopy—it’s a streaming video service offered through many public libraries and a few college libraries too.

So there’s a movie on Kanopy¹ right now, Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write about a Serial Killer, and it’s a brilliant black comedy, one that deserved to have gotten a bigger reception than it has, so you should definitely watch it.
