Trap is a better adaptation of the Hitman video game series than the Hitman movies are. Fun movie if you imagine every non-Josh Hartnett character is an NPC with limited AI.

Hi all. I'm Robert, a lead product designer at NYT Games. My coworkers New York Times Tech Guild and I are on strike for a fair contract--we're asking that in solidarity you don't play any of our games today: Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, etc. Break your streak! washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…

Shocking news of the day: I went for a hearing test. And somehow I have "perfectly normal" hearing, "no hearing loss," and "if anything, you're a bit sensitive to some tones." Maybe that Vox AC30 really isn't loud enough!?

A huge thank you to Canada Canada for sending their fire fighting planes to help minimize the fire damage in LA.

Self-Cut Bangs return from the new parenthood bubble for a show with BA Johnston and Bugswallow (CC and Dan from DRI HIEV's banjo punk insanity). We're playing a bunch of new songs that are sounding pretty beefy and some old songs that are sounding pretty meaty. Feb 8th, Palomino

If you want a real good hate watch, check out Billy Corgan's interview with Wolfgang Van Halen. 12 minutes in, Corgan has probably talked for 11 1/2 of the minutes. By the end, probably 90% of the interview. It's mesmerizing.

Strange discovery after hate watching a Beato interview: Adam Durtiz (Counting Crows) wikipedia page mentions dating Jennifer Aniston, but not Courtney Cox, who he both dated and who appeared in one of his videos. Did Cox scrub herself from his wiki?

The Stampede midway food continues its slow move from over-the-top, dare ya-to-eat it options to "this sounds like it would be pretty good if it was cooked in an upscale restaurant instead of baking in the hot sun of a food truck and prepped by a teenager" calgarystampede.com/new-midway-food

This feels so grim from every possible angle I approach it from. The problem, the proposed solution, the implications currently and the future uses of the tech. Also feels inevitable. Which is even more grim. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

JOHN CARPENTERS’S THE THING 🛸🛸🛸

One hope for Spinal Tap 2. Please, please don't make the Dave Grohl-as celeb replacement drummer/fanboy cameo gag.
