I had the good fortune of taking Elementary Logic from an amazing philosophy professor, Dr. Frank Takei (yes, he is related to George), my freshman year. One of the most useful classes of my entire academic career. Learning to think critically is invaluable in all aspects of life.
I first heard them when they released Fly Me Courageous in 1991. One of the most underrated albums in my opinion. I like everything on it. Unfortunately, grunge was in back then.
It wasn't really a question.
I'm sure it'll be fine this time. /s tennesseelookout.com/2026/01/05/n...
It gave me an excuse to dig through my awards.
Received my signed copy today. Can't wait to read it. Obviously, I had to verify the signature of @markhertling.bsky.social . It checks out.
I always liked that Metallica included an instrumental on their albums. I love Orion and Call of Ktulu. Ecstacy of Gold, (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth, and Suicide & Redemption are good too. There are more, but that's a good start.
Just ordered mine. I can't believe I almost missed that this was coming out.
What the fuck? Everyday it seems they find new ways to sink a little bit lower. At this point, there is no bottom.

Nothing Else Matters or King Nothing, both by Metallica. Take your pick.
They cancelled the annual snowboard race up here on Baker due to low snowpack. This portends a bad fire season I'm afraid.
I believe that would be classified as graupel.
This reminds me of one of the great Hunter S Thompson quotes.
Um, in a hundred years, I'll probably have been dead for 50+ years.

Perhaps not being paid would provide some incentive to shorten, or ideally, prevent shutdowns. Since most are independently wealthy, I have doubts, but it's a start. c.org/STK7ftxghG
The point is that they continue to get paid during the shutdown and should be a work out of deference to the workers not being paid. It's time they earn their paycheck.

I love Powell's. Amazing bookstore.
I thought this was going to be one of those, this didn't age well, quotes, but it's from 😳😂
I love reading James Fell and this is great reminder that even when everything seems to be going sideways, we shouldn't stop trying. It sucks that we're in this situation, but we must persevere.
