I saw the Bob Dylan movie adaptation with Timothy Chalamet (is he in every other movie now?) with a couple of friends. It was fun, I didn’t know much about him other than making fun of his voice sometimes. I especially didn’t know how controverstial it was when he started playing electric guitars.

Edward Norton playing Pete Seeger, the banjo playing dude I liked when I was a kid when I saw him, was cool, too.

I heard that only one part of this was being covered much in the news. It’s a cartoon, so it’ll be entertaining, right?

I’m not a Theosophist, but this is very sad.

I’ve never been interested in going on a cruise but I could get behind this

My friend @[100063481720652:2048:John Finan] wrote another one..He says he usually doesn’t do politics in his songs but this was for a benefit and it’s called for. Let’s hear it for the Old White Men

Today I learned that my distant cousin in Slovenia, Vinci Vogue AnÅ¾lovar, died last month of ALS.

We conversed a bit. I think in our first conversation, he asked why I had the caren (the little thing above the z) in my name. I said that when Iearned that was The Right Way, I changed it.

His was the first movie released in the brand new country of Slovenia after Yugoslavia had broken up. It was called “Grandma Goes South” and was about an old lady who broke herself out of the nursing home her kids had placed her in to go on a road trip to the beach. He’d recently (in the last few years) released a sort of sequel called “Grandpa Goes South”. His last movie hit the theaters a couple weeks after his death on 1-dec-2024.

I was trying for years for his assistance to get a copy of “Gypsy Eyes”, the only one of his movies that had English dialog, but he was not terribly proud of it, plus the wrangling with the American film industry kind of left him fucked over. Eventually some kind soul uploaded it to YouTube where you can still watch it. You’ll have to wade through all the videos related to the Jimi Hendrix song. The Slovenian title translates to something like “Witness” and it’s kind of about Gypsies.

He released an autobiographical biopic (who does that?) that I think you can find on Vimeo, but I can’t remember the name of it off-hand.

I’m sorry I never got a chance to get to Slovenia to meet him, but I did think of him as a bit of a friend.

A few months ago I installed a chrome extension that essentially removes reels from my feed, whether they are the ones you post (sorry about that) or the random ones that led me to understand why people are addicted to TikTok. I’m pretty good with the results, but I was thinking as I came in this evening that I’d been missing a few of them, like Slim Sherry and the Dadbod Veteran, as well as that cute Chinese girl who dances like a robot, the dude who posts recipes for famous restaurants and Stoner Gump.

Anyway, Dadbod Veteran’s son challenged him that all this social media crap didn’t mean anything in the real world, so Mr DBV announced that his son was looking for a wife, and he was entertaining dowries. The internet has responded in the way that the internet does, in quantity and hilarious quality. I hadn’t followed it for a while, so I missed a bunch of the ongoing fracas, but it’s going pretty hilariously, I guess.

Who needs a soap opera? Maybe I need to load Facebook in Firefox to catch up.

For the people in the back, AFAB means “assigned female at birth” or trans men (media doesn’t talk about those folks quite as much)

Apologies for the mansplain.

I asked the google what the weather was. It said it was 2 degrees, but the high was supposed to be 43 because I live at 5000+ feet

They’ve since fixed it…

ETA: I never really thought about this before just now, because I’m kind of dense sometimes, but I have to admit, I do love me a little leg and thigh late at night, especially on Thursday nights through Saturday, and yeah, I guess 11 til 330 AM is a pretty good time.
