The best thing to happen yesterday (a low bar to clear but still) was a dog named Peanut Butter winning a game of SNES Ken Griffey Baseball in under 30 minutes at the Games Done Quick convention -- in a 12th inning walkoff, no less.

Okay. What about your local school board? What about the elected officials in your local criminal justice system? You don't think your mayor and city council have any direct effect on environmental policy or health care in your community? Who exactly is "hollowing out the public sector," I wonder?

I enjoyed the differing master/pupil dynamics at play in this week's THE ACOLYTE episode; but with two episodes to go, it seems like this whole season is going to be about slowly revealing everyone's backstory. More prologue than plot. www.vulture.com/article/the-...

When seeing that movie became a cause célèbre among American evangelicals, my poor Southern Baptist mother-in-law got dragged to it and to suffer through two hours of gory violence and suspicious Catholicism. In a foreign language, no less!

For @salonnewsroom.bsky.social , I had such a great conversation with Mike Campbell about the excellent new Dirty Knobs record - but our conversation of course also touched on Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, and what's in Campbell's music vault.

In revisiting the show for [PLUG] my book, Back to the Island, out Sept. 20 (order now) [/PLUG], I genuinely became SO SAD for what we've lost. Yes, that show had some STINKER episodes, but the space it had to tell its story! The beautiful production! The ambition!!!

The Limey is my favorite of these, but Noises Off I think is pretty underrated and is a lot of fun (at a time when "a lot of fun" is a welcome thing). And while I'm not sure I'd recommend it, Pretty Poison is intriguingly nasty.

We're raising a couple of Gen Z-ers, one of whom is going to move into their first apartment this fall, so that'll be an interesting experiment. Do they buy napkins because they grew up with napkins or is paper towels all the way?

We do. We usually run through all of our takeout napkin supply before we break out the ones I buy at the grocery; but we do keep a pile of "real" napkins in the kitchen to put on the dinner table.
