Richard Hayman - Serenade for Love Picked this a) for the creepy cover and b) because I thought it said Richard Feynman.

Getting the daily working man’s Finnish Hawaiian fix. Kai Hyttinen - Honolulu.

I think he may have kicked off the Big Crunch.

But what would happen when you release the crystal energy all at once?

Listening to Sam Harris & Ricky Gervais paid podcast Absolutely Mental. Fun BSing around and about big subjects. https://absolutelymental.com/

“The coffee drug, known as KHWH to the ancient aliens, was administered to the Anunnaki's proto-genetic human mine workers in a variety of ways. All evidence points to milk from genetically engineered bovine herds (cows) as well as purified powdered carbs (sugar) to provide energy and protein to the workers’ systems. It was, in many ways, the perfect system for maximizing labor for the construction of ancient temples and landing strips, and you know what? COFFEE IS STILL CONSUMED THE SAME WAY TODAY.” https://sprudge.com/did-ancient-aliens-invent-arabica-coffee-this-man-says-yes-38436.html

C’mon, if aliens can build and activate the Van Allen Belts, surely they have the ability to temporarily deactivate them for Armstrong and company.

I know my mind shouldn’t immediately go to Blazing Saddles, but wow… German pentathlon coach thrown out for punching horse https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/58127366 Edit: I wonder what the decision tree of criticism would be on this one? 🥴

Is there a term for getting nostalgic for nostalgia?

Hunting down Schmigadoon! scenes. Last pitch.

The world of Miami Vice guest stars and pre-stars. Surprised to see Leonard Cohen and Frank Zappa.

Shortcuts. Reminds me of the Stewart, I think, segment eons ago polling people if "heterosexuals should serve in the military"?

Sun Bear Concerts by Keith Jarrett. He’s even better than Don Henley.

Glad you escaped Steve. Also for those that remember this from last year, Lukas Gage may be able to now move into a larger apartment.

I know I should let this go, but I find this stuff fun and think it's cool this show is spawning conversation, so if you don't mind using the honeymoon wife... 😉 . . . . [spoiler](spoiler){spoiler}What do we know about her? She's got rose-colored glasses and wants to make a difference. She may be coming to the conclusion she may not be very good at her job. He comes from big money and she comes from a family that can't afford flying to Hawaii. She's surprised by his seemingly new lack of caring about her work (may have been naive here) and interrelated he's surprised she wants to keep her own identity now that they're married. Finally, after he's flirting with others, she questions his feelings for the future after she loses her physical beauty and he responds, not with all the other reasons he loves her, but that he would never lose that attraction to her physical beauty. She's smiles satisfied. Do I have that list right? If so, clearly not completely innocent, but an understandable participant in the possible disaster? I dunno. What do you think? {/spoiler}(/spoiler)[/spoiler]

Thought this was funny. Are you allowed to criticize Simone Biles?: A decision tree.

I'm going the opposite direction. He may not have succeeded, but White in an interview talked about his love for Succession, but its Privileged family lives in a bubble and distant "otherness" sets in, versus his goal here that it's any family at the next table or any of us with power/privilege using others. We all set lines differently, and maybe I've become soft, but I do have sympathy for nearly every character. [spoiler] I think in the second episode I turned towards Melissa and said "Ha, they're even going to get us to care about that horrible manager!". Every time Jennifer Coolidge moves a muscle (mouth or other) I feel her oblivious uncomfortableness. The tech family lost kids trying to built an angry wall or tune out. Those humorous, but normal, family conversations of identify. Trying to make a living in a tourist trap. The poor newlywed and masseuse mentioned above probably going to get crushed. And the series opening scene mystery... [/spoiler]
