God, that was the most devastating In Memoriam segment I've ever seen. We lost so many giants and so tragically this year

Railroad Train represents a passenger train running out of view at the right edge of the canvas, red tail lights gleaming on the last car. The smoke plume streaming across the upper half of the composition, the slight left-to-right downgrade of the tracks, and the windblown wheat field all serve to underscore the impression of movement.

This is a bit silly, but I'm still feeling bad for Maura. Watching her emotional roller-coaster hit way too close to home.

Super Bowl ads dominated by AI and GLP-1s suggest our corporate overlords think we are living in the WALL-E future, but actually we are living in the Andor past.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

We’re crushed to hear that Catherine O’Hara has left us. Horror fans know her work in BEETLEJUICE and THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (as well as a memorable appearance in TALES FROM THE CRYPT), but her body of creativity beyond genre is an epic one. Our condolences to all who loved her.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
