The two men hit it off right away, and as they walked drunkenly through the deserted streets of Osaka at 4:30 in the morning, Reitzell decided to ask Shields if he might be interested in contributing to a film score, if ever he found a suitable project. β€˜Sure,’ Shields replied. His only prior experience with film music had been a $5,000 payday he’d shared with J Mascis to demo a version of the Mission Impossible 2 theme song. (In another win for mainstream American culture, Limp Bizkit got the gig instead.) Reitzell knew of Shields’s recent difficulties with Island and his inability to finish new solo work in the studio, but he seemed undeterred.

I can’t emphasize enough how quickly this was under control. They did an amazing job.

Black and white photo of Alexander Calder, an older Ma with white hair, and his wife and two daughters all sitting in a row on a park bench, staring unsmilingly at the camera. The women all have their arms crossed. By the way they’re dressed, it looks like fall.

Another great one from around the same time as the masked kids one β€” portrait of Alexander Calder and his family in Paris, 1954

Minneapolis Fire Department Responds to Vehicle Fire
 

March 7, 2026 (Minneapolis) – At approximately 12:15 a.m. this morning, the Minneapolis Fire Department (MFD) responded to the report of a structure fire and explosions coming from a railyard at the intersection of 29th Avenue Northeast and Central Avenue Northeast. Arriving firefighters found six semi-tractors fully engulfed in flames in a parking lot.

Fire crews laid lines and worked to ensure that the fires didn’t spread to nearby trailers, rail cars, or other structures. The railroad company confirmed that there were no hazardous materials present in that area of the parking and Xcel Energy was contacted to shut down a nearby electrical line exposed to the fire.

The fire was brought under control after about 20 minutes. There were no reports of injuries.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.  The MFD report number for this incident is 26-0011160.

Definitely. The last time I was in NYC I caught a pretty big Arbus gallery show and they had a book for sale that tempted me … almost a day by day history of her life.

Pretty sure the other time this happened we got both days’ papers the next day. What did they do with all the Friday papers?

finally got the chance to finish this piece and it’s really good. as she talked of apolitical architectural playgrounds, the sepia-toned rockwellian vision of america, and the freedom of the resort I immediately thought of new urbanism. sure enough that’s when she briefly alludes to seaside, florida

Cheese logs, fine. Mayo logs are just gross. I don’t care how much they earn.

I must have read 40 of the Three Investigators books. Some were duds, but a lot were really pretty well written.
