American Experience got around to doing their retrospective on the GW Bush presidency, and it is excellent. Harsh but fair. I enjoyed it very much. Knowing what we know now I think there is no way in hell he should have been given a 2nd term, but, having had one, did a much better job leading the nation from 2005-2008 than he did from 2001-2004. What a fucking awful mistake to go into Iraq though. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/george-w-bush/

Happy birthday, Rob!

My friend, as a healer-main I 100% know the feeling! The nice thing is that as I've improved as a player and moved on to more difficult content the avoidable damage tends to one-shot or otherwise delete the DPS players so fast that they cannot have any expectation of being saved from their own stupid mistakes.

This has been perfect for life in quarantine. Few games scratch the "parts of the machine" itch better than this one. None of the three roles (damage dealers, healers, tanks) can do it by themselves, but all need to work together in harmony to accomplish the group goals. It feels so good when everyone plays well and overcomes hard challenges as a team. If any HC'ers play and want to add me, let me know!

Happy birthday, Chris!

Holy moly, Shelly, your rigs are amazing. BHSE, GS-X mk2 and a Doug Savitsky special! I love it all!

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Peepshow

RIP “Little” Richard Penniman. "A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-wop-bam-boom!" -best line in all of pop music, IMO.

Happy birthday, Shelly!

Banish to pool house?

Hadn't listened to Grimes much before, but she friggin' owns!

This hurts to say, but I thought season 3 of WW was so bad that I think I might actively try and avoid Jon Nolan/Lisa Joy produced content in the future. I'm totally done with the show at this point.

Blackened, COVID-19 Edition.

I finally tried plugging a mouse into my iPad. This is pretty slick! I’m impressed how well the cursor is integrated into iOS. Well done, (cr)Apple!

Love this. Also love the "TRUST THE PROCESS" sign conspicuously placed in frame. Philly 76er/Sam Hinkie fans?

First two episodes of The Last Dance about the 97-98 Chicago Bulls on ESPN. Wow... this is fun! It isn't especially deep, but the characters are some of the most compelling in the history of sports. I'm looking forward to catching the full thing in the weeks to come. Oh, and when this old Alan Parsons track started playing I admit I did get the chills a bit. When you heard that music you knew it was time for Michael to kick somebody's ass!

With one episode left to go in this penultimate season, this show remains an absolute delight. IMO it is one of the best shows currently on TV. I'll be sad when it is over and done.

Tried this, but at least on Tidal I think the mastering is totally brick-wall'ed with zero dynamic range. I might be imagining things, but I found it hard to listen to. Instead went with some easy listening future conference call on-hold background music from Phish, their new one, Sigma Oasis.

Happy birthday, Maud’dib!

Hiss Golden Messenger - Forward, Children Live album of a show they did to raise money for local schools 👍

Sorry to hear. She was a very sweet little pup.

Great voice, great songwriter. I have a live album of his from Carnegie Hall I listen to often.

Loving these. Reznor meets Brian Eno.

IMO one of the very best albums of the last decade. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
