Knoxville has had several, but I got to go with Sarge's BBQ. Best Jamaican jerk sauce I've had in this town, and the spicy smashed potatoes with garlic were unmatched
In September, a box of old film reels was donated to the Library's National Audio-Visual Conservation Center. One of them was a nearly 130-year-old, long-lost film by iconic French filmmaker George Méliès. It had not been seen by anyone in likely more than a century. 🧵

"I told you... you ask me a question and after that you have to take a Kalashnikov to stop me!" I think about Eliane & her work often; beyond bedrock for me, but it was hearing her describe her music in the most animated, matter-of-fact way that sticks out; R.I.P.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.
look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british
I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.
I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it
You can watch Frederick Wiseman's filmography and see how the bureaucracy and inanity of so many American institutions over the last 60 years led us to where we are today, but you'll also see a lot of people working within those systems trying to help make life better for others
This is how you live a life
"In lieu of flowers, the family and Zipporah Films kindly request that you support your local PBS affiliate or independent bookstore in Frederick Wiseman’s memory."
Right, another key thing that historians do is working with important records that have not been digitized.
And the vast majority of the world’s records *have not been digitized* and thus do not exist in any format that LLMs/AI can work with.
And then I make a folder where I put these things. I'd prefer to just write all of this down, but here we are
I take a lot of photos. The downside is that I reach for my phone a lot, and I have so many photos, they get lost in the morass. The upside is when I cleanse and delete photos I'm reminded of things I forgot about that I thought were so important a few weeks ago. Oddly it's a really good feeling
Six years of Zoom meetings and people still haven't learned to mute themselves, and I'm still finding out things about people I never wanted to know
An add for a law firm reads,”Whether you’re in the theater or being questioned by police, MJM Law Office reminds you to stay quiet.”
I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂
It has come to my attention that things are bad and people may be in need of a sublime 42 minute long instrumental version of Wichita Lineman

That era was incredible for finding new music via blogs. I had a host of them bookmarked. Lately I've been revisiting root strata mixes from the early 2010. It's an odd mix of nostalgia and rediscovering music I forgot I ever heard
Me: I'm going to make it a point to make it out to hear more live music this year.
The Local Spot: We booked this act you like.
Me: Great! This is going to be easy.
TLS: They're last on a four band bill.
Me: 😩
In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.
13 years ago today.
If you see this repost with your model of positive masculinity
1970s home movies so often look like scenes from horror films
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.
Gen Z women aren't playing around.
i think it's nice that so many flags will be at half-mast for donna.
super cool video
These in game interviews have got to stop, no one wants this.
A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Two cats sitting on top of cages and looking at the ceiling
Two cars on the floor staring up at the ceiling

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.
So much raw talent on those albums but you can tell how much work and effort and thought and imagination went into making them. There's also no denying, he had a presence and power like few others
