For Bluesky audiences. Although the only thing I need to change is where I used to always say "we" when critiquing the church. There is something out there calling itself "Christian" & "Church" I am not sure what it is. I am not that. At all. I know them, though. natureofthebeat.com/who-do-i-thi...

So, the entire MCU is really a Vision origin story.

Haow i arrived on blusky :

Wrapping up my viewing of the “other” Marvel universe—DD, JJ, Luke cage, Iron Fist, Venom, and now Punisher. It is definitely a different world from the MCU. It should have stayed that way, including with Spider-Man. Other than Iron Fist, it is much better.

I’m getting a little tired of the flippant comments thrown at Angine de Poitrine as “same as any prof/math rock band”. It’s not in its final results. Maybe John McLaughlin in his use quarter steps, but that’s as far as it goes. They were/are all avant- guards. But are all different.

If you're missing Reacher and haven't seen Neagley yet, what are you waiting for?

Minor quibbles not withstanding, Reacher knows how to wrap up a season.

I think Jon Snow and Daenerys could have pulled it off.

Cliff hangers give me anxiety.

“Chef” is still one of my all time favorite movies.

Why do you yankees put so much sugar in your cornbread? Do you think it is a dessert?

Too bad. Star Trek:SNW was my favorite ST. But they seem to have given up.

I miss when we thanked an animal for their sacrifice for our sustenance.

Art knows no borders.

Obviously talking about Sen. Mitch M.

I want justices removed.

I forget. How long afterward do you keep reliving that day, questioning all your decisions? And when does it stop hurting?

Who is this Tim Cast guy? What a waste of bandwidth.

What could go wrong?

Lioness comes out of the gate swinging. Seal hasn’t got a thing on Delta.

I don’t want to see the dragons kill each other. I’d rather see the kill all the humans and fly away.

I am getting really disappointed with fruit at the grocery store these days. They look amazing. Always not ready to be consumed. I want fruit. The crap shoot for ready to be consumed is getting harder to deal with.

So much AI music slop on Twitter. Like there aren’t enough real musicians trying to get noticed.

All the Avengers Doomsday trailers and snippets look and sound like they are AI generated.

Quadruple A batteries??? For what???

Tai chi with the wife was a blast.

Klimt's Schubert at the Piano I (1896) is a masterclass in building atmosphere. He uses a candlelit golden-brown palette to make the scene feel less like a historical document and more like a warm recollection of Austrian heritage.

Eve was the most dangerously lovable and viciously cuddly cat I've ever know. And she passed today and I was still the only one who she would allow to hold her like a baby. She'll get to meet her brothers from the past 35 years. F7 Savannah.

What the fuck does 12pm mean??? Just say Noon or Midnight. No one has those trademarks to sue you.

It's been ages since I've even thought of Foucault. “What Is an Author?” in 1969. But he seemed to sense it coming. “We can easily imagine a culture where discourse would circulate without any need for an author,” he wrote. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/b...

How anyone keeps track of the names and houses in Thrones/Dragons is beyond me. Especially dragons and their riders.

I have to say I prefer a Spider-Man who doesn’t need Tony Stark.

I still can’t tell if my electric razor is getting worse or I’m getting lazy.

On one hand, being married for forty years is a milestone. On the other, we’ve done this thirty-nine times before.

“Art is a powerful commodity. And artists, if you’re good at it, should never behave as a commodity.”-Chappell.

Barry White. The only person in the world who can sing a song with the word “shtick” and make it sound sexy.

Marvel may make better movies. But DC dominated TV. Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, even Gotham trounced Agents of Shield. DC just can’t figure out how to capitalize on that.

Second episode of House of the Dragon was better.

I think pundits are underestimating how much Democrats are tired of the status quo writ large.

What the fuck does 12pm mean??? Just say Noon or Midnight. No one has those trademarks to sue you.

Nice wrap up of The Bear.

I am not happy with way Vox Machina ended.

Just give me a song with a groove!

There is a lot to be said about coffee that taste like it was made with water from the Hudson.

Southern boy listening to Atlanta Rhythm Section wearing a Make More Biscuits t-shirt, thinking about grits for breakfast.
