Mmm. Fruit snacks.

Right now if you told me that I could either have Haley as President or or a coin toss between Trump and Biden, I certainly would think about it.
Virtually any repudiation of Trump at this point would be a step in the right direction. I saw virtually because there are plenty of Republicans who I think would be worse. I think Haley is just sane enough for me to want her as the nominee over Trump.

I liked the book. I was wondering when this was going to get made.
I rowed one and a half quarter at Stanford. The crew was a shambles, just a club, and coming back from the dead. They ultimately didn't have enough interest to field a lightweight crew, and I was too short to be on the main boat. But it was beautiful to get out on the bay, even on the shitty part of the bay that we rowed on. Even if this movie is just pretty, I'm going to love it. I thought the rowing scene in the Social Network was pretty cool
It's a very neat feeling when you get the boat going.
I kind of regret not just going out to the boathouse and sculling on my own.

As a Republican I say fuck Trump with a giant cactus. That douche has crippled the party for at least 2-3 election cycles.
As a former young Republican, I say I hope you are off by about 28-27 election cycles. I want my old party burned to the fucking ground, and its unrepentant members defenestrated, hung, drawn* and quartered.

About halfway through the three volumes (audio - roughly 60 hours) of The Power Broker by Robert Caro.
There are no words that I can come up to describe how brilliant this whole endeavor is. Caro basically can do a brilliant mini-novel to disfunctional brotherhood, followed by a laughably readable tome on transit authorities, followed by a heartbreaking short history of the distruction of colonial New York.
99% Invisible is doing a "read along" this year of the book, which should be fun -- I'm a huge Roman Mars fan - dudes radio voice and laugh just make me smile. Here is the first "intro" intstallment with Conan O'Brien, who is a huge Caro fan.

The Lyndon Johnson biographies are arguably the greatest books I've ever read. And now this.

Watched The Sound of Music for the first time in forever recently. There are nods to the political situation throughout so I suppose it’s always there in the background, but there was still a pretty abrupt change from:
“Doe, a deer, a female deer … oh that Maria has made the children play clothes from the curtains! What will she think of next! … Ray, a golden drop of sun”
to
“Ok, children, tonight we’re going to hide from the Nazis! Yes, that’s right we will be going ‘Far, a long long way to run’ - very good, kids. But seriously though, they’re actual Nazis so stop singing and just STFU for a while so we don’t die.”
There was a great podcast I heard a few years ago about a girl who grew up only having the first of a two VHS set of the movie.
She spent her entire life thinking the movie ended with the hot older child falling in love with the handsome Nazi kid and saying "Wheeeeeeee!".
Only when she was in college did she see the whole movie and she was all like "oh snap".

Day of the Outlaw (1959)
A truly great western, the movie is a romance dispute before a bottle rolls across the bar and shit gets real..

Great season. Already feel like it's "spring training" and sky is the limit.

I've got a nice old bang and olufsen turntable 40+ years old that has been sitting around for 30 years. I went to hook it up with the similarly aged tecnnics tuner which is dead. Have on old passive speaker. If I get this thing set up I'll probably attach an old Sony carousel CD player.
I'm looking for just simple basic amp/tuner and a couple of small passive speakers to set up. Room is small -- not looking for power or anything particularly high fidelity. Just something to play my old records. Will probably end up using headphones most of the time. May eventually move this to a larger room but will be in my shitty man cave for now.
Any particular brands of "solid value" components that you all can recommend? I'm not really interested in radio so I am thinking amp instead of tuner that I can run the iphone through.

May December (2023). Always give Todd Haynes a chance. Generally kind of disappointed.
This one was terrible, IMO.
