Crushed it, but it’s already rowdy. You can hear most of what I said in today’s Your Daily Lex. https://lex.micro.blog/uploads/2023/lgb.mp3

@lexfri How many do you think are actually parents with kids in school versus straight up assholes?

Today I finally cut the cable (or, in my case, the satellite feed) to end a lifetime of live TV.

I feel 10 pounds lighter.

Having lived through too many wildfire seasons, I have nothing but sympathy for those in now-sooty environments. Stay inside, rig up an air filter or two, and mask if you have to go outdoors. Bring your pets in too!

I’m simultaneously blown away and saddened by the images of desolate planets and moons posted by ‪@nasa‬.

Blown away because, hey, gloriously clear images of good-lord-look-at-that.

Saddened because our perfect jewel of a planet—unique in our neighborhood in its ability to sustain life and love—is being murdered by a species too stupid and selfish to appreciate its miraculous good fortune.

Dear fellow wealthy men,

When you show up at the Elks Lodge Annual Summer Weenie Roast with something like this on your arm, that look you receive isn’t envy. It’s the stare of other men doing their damndest to keep their eyes from rolling completely out of their skulls.

You look a fool. A rich. Old. Fool.

Never mind Marathon, where is the Myth reboot?

On second thought, given how far away this Marathon looks from the first series, probably a better idea to let sleeping dogs lie.

I’m assuming the act of taking a perfectly lovely shot of espresso and ruining it with a flood of hot water is termed an “Americano” for all the obvious reason.

As part of my classic Japanese film binge, I just polished off Star Wars Episode 0: The Hidden Fortress.

Why yes, I did buy a couple of boxes of N95 masks today because, as it turns out, simply pronouncing a pandemic over doesn’t cause a dangerous virus to shrug its tiny shoulders and give up.

Out here in California it’s aspirational strawberry season, the one where beautiful red berries appear on store shelves.

Every year I’m tempted by these watery, slightly sour posers.

And never learn.

@joesteel Or… and I know this is crazy… wait until the damned things are in season.

One of California’s primary strawberry growing regions is a 10 minute drive from here and its produce is available—in organic form, yet—at the local farmers markets.

My impatience is the problem.

You know how some people said that, amazing though she was, RBG should have retired from the Supreme Court at the appropriate time to avoid handing an open slot to someone like Trump?

Today, Joe Biden announced his candidacy for a 2024 run.

@jimmylittle Yes, it’s the latter scenario—he becomes incapacitated at the wrong time, no one wants Harris, and the Republican takes it by default.

We want to risk all based on one old guy’s health? I dunno….

@jimmylittle But the real issue is that Democrats refuse to build their farm league. We need to promote younger candidates.

I beg to differ.

The Taylor Swift vinyl retails for $46 and is already going for $150+ on eBay and Discogs. This is why we can’t have nice things (heh) and so against the spirit of Record Store Day.

@Gartenberg @film_girl Just by way of historical perspective for the younger members of our audience, when CDs really took hold, record companies purged their vinyl inventory to the tune of $5 and $6 per shrink-wrapped LP (versus the $15 they charged for CDs). I added maybe 50 classic albums to my collection in those few weeks.

I’m still shocked by today’s vinyl prices (even the used stuff).

BodyofBreen,
@BodyofBreen@mastodon.world avatar

@strngwys @film_girl @Gartenberg I don’t doubt it, but that’s exactly the argument record companies made for higher CD prices—new technology, not enough factories.

Oddly, when there were enough factories, prices didn’t drop.

@film_girl @strngwys @Gartenberg A lot of 80s American vinyl was pretty terrible—really thin. If you were a fancy person you bought imports.
