@duckbldg It’s state-by-state. In Maryland, my partner and I merged our name (Edwards + Collins = Edlins), and I sorta gathered that any conceivable naming alternative would have been as feasible as the next.

@shrimpbath @Ottoneu @nivshah I’m getting the same error. Can’t access my team.

@jbushnell My favorites are The Souvenir: Part II, Petite Maman, and Wolfwalkers. Loved TAR and EEAAO, too. And can't wait to watch the latest John Wick.

@bc_butler Thanks for this breakdown. And for reminding me to put on Mezcal Head. I used to think “Duress” was too long; now I wish it never ended.

[Geoff Edlins @gpe]

@bc_butler Yikes. Sorry you’re having to deal with this! What a miserable experience.

@hankofjuly Elaine May's The Heartbreak Kid.

@tcarmody Kraftwerk's "Showroom Dummies."

@tcarmody One of my favorite Nas tracks: I Gave You Power. POV of a gun. “When I'm empty I'm quiet, findin’ myself fiendin’ to be fired.”

[Geoff Edlins @gpe]

@tcarmody I feel like McCartney's sensibilities and sheer output mean that he's got at least one of these. But none that come to mind. Ebony & Ivory is close, but not from the piano's POV.

[Geoff Edlins @gpe]

@tcarmody Wilco's "I'm a Wheel."

@DrFrankRoberts The recent film “God’s Country” centers on Thandiwe Newton‘s portrayal of a professor in rural Montana.

@jbushnell @hermeticlibrary It’s difficult given the sample, but I also arrived at Corporate S. If you’re looking to license something, I’d check out the more recent Post Grotesk from the indie foundry @SharpTypeCo (MyFonts is owned by private-equity).

[Geoff Edlins @gpe]

@GetPublii Do Publii themes such as this one support custom typography? Like, can I load a webfont into it and use that instead of the default fonts?

[Geoff Edlins @gpe]

@jbouie Madonna: “Lucky Star”

Pavement: “Summer Babe”

@BlocBoy_JV @hentges_a @CrotserJeremiah @deus_vulpix @jh_swanson Agreed. Though the premise of the show contains a basic critique of the American healthcare system, no? He needs money for his cancer treatments.

[Geoff Edlins @gpe]

@ninastoessinger @Amtrak @99piorg It helps to understand that the US has abysmal passenger rail systems precisely because its freight rail system is the best in the world.* Amtrak & regional passenger rail get the crumbs.

*The inverse is true of Europe.

@austinkleon I’ve been recommending it to everyone I see lately. So, like, three people. It’s bonkers in the best way.

@jbushnell @jsief Co-signed. And Dinosaur Act (off of Things We Lost...) is my favorite song of theirs.
