When folks tell me not to worry, that God’s in control, I always think, well, sure, but maybe he’s going to let me die, and I have a vested interest in that not happening.

@BrianBledsoe “Bug hail” would also be interesting.

Practicing soloing with my looper pedal tonight, I set down a fuzzy little D, C, G loop that I thought sounded like The Stones. Then I thought it was The Scorpions. Then I realized it was actually both.

Proposed New Portmanteau: “Slunched.” For when you see your side profile in reflection and can’t decide whether you’re slumped or slouched.

This is an easy one: SOTD.

[Carnival of Horror @HorrorCarnival]

Which one of these six movies from 2004 gets top billing?

[J.G. Walker @jgwalkr]

Okay, this looks good, but honestly, they had me at Zahn McClarnon. https://t.co/0wWiNPLC8y

[J.G. Walker @jgwalkr]

I suspected as much.

I’m already feeling sorry for all my professor peeps who are going to have to start dealing with those “formatting” issues.

[J.G. Walker @jgwalkr]

I didn’t have “RFK, Jr. swimming in sewage” on this week’s bingo card, but honestly, that’s on me.

@PatrickFabian @BetterCallSaul Same.

[J.G. Walker @jgwalkr]

@scifivision @FROMonMGM @HaroldPerrineau Hell, yes!

[J.G. Walker @jgwalkr]

Watching @FROMonMGM is an integral part of our Sunday evening routine. I haven’t looked this forward to a weekly installment since Better Call Saul ended its run. The entire From cast is just stellar, but man, does @HaroldPerrineau inhabit Boyd Stevens. What a tour de force.

If you’re feeling nostalgic, Amazon is streaming the original Scooby Doo cartoons. A few things I didn’t know.

-All but one of the original episodes had laugh tracks.

-Shaggy’s name was Norville Rogers.

-Shaggy was based on Maynard G. Krebs

-Scooby’s name is Scoobert.

Idea for a McSweeney’s article: “I am an ersatz flawed, world weary, but basically decent mentor to a Stephen King protagonist, and I will very likely sacrifice myself in the third act of this horror story.”

[J.G. Walker @jgwalkr]

@MJMcKean Sweet lord, yes. That’s the gold standard.

[J.G. Walker @jgwalkr]

Going through Chrome and closing old tabs, I find around five old ones for “Screenshot on Mac.” I do it seldom enough that I always forget the operation, but when I need to do it, man, I need to do it right now.

[J.G. Walker @jgwalkr]

Happened to catch one of my all-time favorite installments of by @thexfiles , the Vince Gilligan-written “Bad Blood.” What a fantastic episode.

[Anne Serling @AnneSerling]

For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own-for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to The Twilight Zone.

Elijah mantle, huh? Yeah, that’s a way to describe it.

[Right Wing Watch @RightWingWatch]

Christian nationalist MAGA cultist Lance Wallnau says Kamala Harris is under an occult spirit and blames her success on the seduction of witchcraft: "What you’re seeing now is a real Jezebel." https://t.co/E5glJN6h4R

@alicetremond How cool!

[J.G. Walker @jgwalkr]

Are there better ways to spend a Saturday night than watching the new season of Colin from Accounts? Well, maybe, but there can’t be that many. #score #colinfromaccounts
