dhuartson: Don't let anyone talk you out of spending $15 on a new hobby. That $50 will be the best $400 you ever spent.

This is not wrong.

Mikey the anthropomorphic microphone mascot faces an identical Mikey. Both are holding microphones. They're kind of toasting with them. Text reads MATCHING MEMBERS

I did consider stealing one of the birch trees in the hallway as a memento. Probably best I didn’t.

Damn, this makes me want to solve a series of seemingly unrelated crimes in 1985.

Nice! Yeah, I've been going later and later to Record Store Day every year and so far it has not affected my ability to drop over $100.

Was thinking about that Coltrane but never spotted it (and didn't camp out this year). Managed a pretty good haul with some weird late-morning/early-afternoon luck. Femmes! Laufey! Weezer!

Albums by The Jayhawks, John Coltrane and Brazilian Samba plus a Pink Floyd CD.

Good Record Store Day haul.

Decisions, decisions.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Love this place!

His Spitting Image puppet would look exactly like him

'25 Cats From Qatar' is the cat's meow Wisconsin Film Festival screens inspiring doc about Milwaukee cat rescuer

I thought 25 CATS FROM QATAR was a very inspiring documentary. And I'm a dog person! notthatrobthomas.substack.com/p/25-cats-fr...

Playing Tuesday night at the Wisconsin Film Festival!

I think they had a great time!

So much fun to see @jjdotbiz.bsky.social talking about BABE: PIG IN THE CiTY with three very regular and normal Madisonians at the Wisconsin Film Festival.

That’s next level festing!

If you don’t have popcorn for dinner at least once, are you even AT a film festival?

BABE: POD IN THE CASTY

'Faces of Death' wants you to kill, comment and subscribe Horror film updates a '70s curio for the algorithmic age

FACES OF DEATH is a cautionary tale about the insidious power of social media, so of course I'm posting my review on all my feeds. notthatrobthomas.substack.com/p/faces-of-d...

all shouts, no murmurs

"He pulls a knife, you pull a papal ferula. That's the Chicago way."

My wife has the right to skydive and she would skydive if she wanted to because she rocks.

Gonna just hope this is his nickname for Amy Irving

Well, this is an amazing image

EARTHSET
Images captured aboard Orion Integrity by the @nasaartemis crew of a crescent Earth setting behind the moon.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

Oh my gd, the Artemis II crew doing a parody of a bad 1980s sitcom intro from in space.

So I ran a control test, much like when I try a new pizza (straight pep) or burger (bacon cheese) joint. We start there as a base and if you can't deliver on that level we don't party.
I set it to the 80s, hit random. Within a few mins I had Jimmy Cliff's "Reggae Night" video playing.
It's for real.
