Fit and handsome. I moved to a rural town to care for my mom. And I can cook. Basically a Hallmark movie hero.

People keep telling me that steak should be rare. But I prefer it as often as possible.

@SandbaggerDC @tcm I have both on disc. I just wish WB would release The Big Sleep on 4k.

I tried watching a movie on a VR headset today. For the first hour, it was awesome. Then the weight of the unit started giving me a headache.

BREAKING: ADVANCED ALZHEIMER’S PATIENT REGAINED SPEECH, MEMORY, AND BLADDER CONTROL AFTER SINGLE PSILOCYBIN DOSE

An 80-year-old woman with advanced Alzheimer’s — who had barely spoken for YEARS — experienced RAPID and SUSTAINED improvement after taking 5g of psilocybin mushrooms.

During the acute phase, she entered a prolonged deep sleep-like state with profuse sweating.

~19 hours later, she spontaneously started talking again for HOURS — sharing detailed autobiographical memories she hadn’t expressed in years.

Over the following days, her family reported improved memory, walking, emotional connection, speech, and regained bladder control.

After 1 month, bladder control REMAINED RESTORED, and she was still functionally improved compared with baseline.

While this is just one published case report, the implications are enormous given that there are currently NO approved medications known to produce effects like this in advanced Alzheimer’s.

These findings urgently need replication. For millions watching a parent or loved one disappear to Alzheimer’s, even the possibility of restoring lost function warrants serious scientific investigation.

This sourdough trend is getting out of hand.

There were a lot of these at my store today. And they all looked like this.

@masterofoneinc1 @JimLNeibaur John Wayne is obviously the icon.
James Stewart had a solid run with Mann, but he was never defined by a single genre. Same for James Garner.
Audie Murphy and Randolph Scott were great, within their limits.
Clint Eastwood deserves all the respect.

But all this you already know.

He provided a quiet dignity to the Buffy-verse.

Anthony Head, the British actor best known for his roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ted Lasso,” has died at 72.

His daughters shared in a statement that he “passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia, surrounded by his family.”

I've been doing some thinking about why Obsession and Backrooms hit and The Mandalorian missed.

Basically, I think streaming broke everything. And YouTubers found the solution.

I'll have an essay about it tomorrow on my Substack.

Hollywood will probably learn the wrong lesson from Backrooms and Obsession. But there's something happening here that is worth exploring. 👇

[BookstoreThor @BookstoreThor]

@WriterMcG Hollywood execs see what the young YouTubers have accomplished and they're nervous, because they know the studio system is now superfluous.

Some smart YouTuber watching Backrooms isn't seeing a path to follow, but a proof of concept.

[BookstoreThor @BookstoreThor]

@Rob_Motto Agreed, even though I haven't been able to see any of them yet. But we only know about the quality now.

I wondered about where their development styles fit in history.
