All Stephen King books in or linked to The Dark Tower-series charted.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.
I had to work normally, but I've yet to desire to go back to the level of social life outside of work I had pre covid. But I also was 41 when Covid hit, and will turn 48 next week, so maybe "I'd rather stay home" is just middle age.

First seven seasons of Game of Thrones on Blu ray.
Happy 15th anniversary to Game of Thrones. Started collecting the Blu rays used last year, the most I've paid for a season was 10 €. The last one seems elusive though, which is funny because it's not any good. They probably didn't sell that many copies for it to appear on the used markets yet.
CHARLIE BROWN: Yes mistress, you're right, mistress, I'm a blockhead! a hopeless blockhead!

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi
I just saw Tremors for the first time, and the Nine Inch Noize-album is out and is awesome. Things are good for me at least.
Yes!
Yeah people like T. rex. People like Coldplay or U2 or Smash Mouth too.
We gotta be out there cultivating the next generation of dinosaur hipsters before this all dissolves into a boring basic hellscape of overly toothy murderbirds!
YouTube’s time management settings now have an option to put a zero-minute time limit on Shorts, effectively removing them from your app in Android and iOS. The option is an update to the Shorts timer YouTube originally announced in October; the lowest previous option was 15 minutes.

“I often think how unfairly life’s good fortune is sometimes distributed. Why has fate given you two such nice children (excluding Anatole, your youngest, I don’t like him),” she put in peremptorily, raising her eyebrows, “such lovely children? And you really value them less than anyone and are therefore unworthy of them.” And she smiled her rapturous smile.” Excerpt From War and Peace Leo Tolstoy, Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky https://books.apple.com/us/book/war-and-peace/id460819556 This material may be protected by copyright.
“The count is suffering both physically and morally, and it seems you have taken care to cause him as much moral suffering as possible.” “May I see the count?” Pierre repeated. “Hm! … If you want to kill him, to kill him outright, you may see him.” Excerpt From War and Peace Leo Tolstoy, Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky https://books.apple.com/us/book/war-and-peace/id460819556 This material may be protected by copyright.
I’m reading War and Peace, and you know, probably a lot more people would read it if they knew just how extremely cunty the dialogue is
New 4K transfer of Fight Club is now available to rent/ buy on Apple TV.
I'll wait for the disc I've preordered that comes out in May.
I will not stand for this "Jonathan Banks rules in Beverly Hills Cop (1984" erasure.
Well, he'll always be Steven Berkoff's top goon in that for me. 😃
For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.
One of the coolest gigs I had was running the Facebook side of the One Perfect Shot Account in the mid 2010s. I thought I lost my entire collection of film stills I shared, but just got a new device that somehow synced up to a really old account & I found them! Let’s kick things off.

In Bruges scene where Colin Farrell is pointing a gun at his head and Brendon Gleeson is also pointing a gun at Colin Farrell's head
Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute
Mariqueen and Trent Reznor
Mariqueen and Trent Reznor are the hottest couple in existance. Neither looks remotely their age (45 and 60).
Nine Inch Noize at Coachella last night.
The Nine Inch Noize-set from Coachella last night is bonkers. NIN-subreddit has a link to a download if anyone needs it.
I always lose interest in the show for awhile on a rewatch when his ticket is punched, because Stringer is such a great character.
I have it on a collection of his stories on my bookshelf I bought just for the cool name (Necronomicon, hard back), now I HAVE to read it. 😃
We really had it all didn't we.
Josh Horowitz and Kevin McCarthy are doing great interviews.
If Orban loses will he flee to Moscow?
Man I have to buy that Blu ray.
watching NASA hit a very specific target in the big big ocean with a vehicle that just came back from outer space at 25,000mph definitely has me reflecting on the charter bus company that couldn't get me to a bus station
