After not seeing Frontline for a few years, then being reminded of its quality with Fire, watched the recent Zero Tolerance episode last night.

Just streamed the Frontline episode. Chilling is right.

Agree episode three seems to be hitting the series stride, taking both a nearly singular POV and expanding the world and tying it together. It was the most fun episode so far, but have to also admit, it also makes me slightly nervous shifting to super-stuff. We’ll see. Also thanks for the podcast alert.

^ Going to stream. Anyone watch The Mill (a few years old BBC series streaming on Prime)? Any good? Sat down with Melissa and Esmé to watch after reading a review that said it was “great for the family”, but we have a rule that if in the first two minutes of a series a girl is raped, but then that rape is interrupted by a boy getting his arm mangled in machinery, we hit pause and reconsider. So we’re just under three minutes in at this point. Feedback appreciated.

Can you use it as a laptop DAC/amp?

Did they confirm your medium fit?

A new selection of Magnum 6x6 prints are for sale for the next few days if anyone is interested.

Thanks! Have to admit I got pretty excited about the “Chasing a Rock 'n' Roll Dream in the Minnesota Music Scene“ until I saw the dates covered. AKA another sign I’ve gotten old. #TheMats

This may set the stage.

Let’s get this thread started. Anyone else excited for tonights HBO debut? Seems Lindelof both treats Moore & Gibbons graphic novel as canon/past and moves it forward enough to do his own thing.

With Harold Bloom’s passing, decided to read what was on his often referenced Western Canon list. There are a couple titles I’ve missed. ? Man, the list makes me too exhausted to actually read the texts, but I do think I’ll tackle Derek Walcott’s Collected Poems next.
