First Light

Lana Del Rey has done so many theme songs for nonexistent James Bond movies, it's nice that she finally got to do a (sort of) real one. open.spotify.com/album/2uPAqo...

Spinoff! (I know they're denying it, but come on.)

In the age of generative AI and would-be AI detectives, I'm glad I still write my drafts in longhand in bars and coffee shops. Despite the looks I often get.

Also vascillating between being embarrassed for Adrian Brody's Godfather impression and begrudgingly finding it entertaining.

Catching up on the later seasons of PEAKY BLINDERS I never watched at the time. Impressed with Tom Hardy's commitment to having his character's skin deteriorate further every season.

I was thinking Soul Coughing.
