Looks like someone ran out of stickers.
Just for the record: NOT advocating defacing gas pumps with permanent marker. Hard to disagree with the sentiment though.

The Invisible Fight - delightfully ridiculous movie about kung-fu fighting Orthodox monks. Apparently the filmmaker is actually Orthodox, but I wouldn't have guessed it from this trailer. 😅

Robert Pattinson joins the ranks of "Vic's Guys"
Side note: he's probably too big a deal for it to happen, but I'd love to see him on Office Hours. He seems like a fun hang.

Brian May in his Mark Gormley era. (This is the quality aging-rocker content Andrew Watt's studio wizardry has been depriving us of.)

Kristin Kobes Du Mez (author of "Jesus and John Wayne" and the upcoming "Live Laugh Love") sharing a quote that immediately set off my Orthodoxy alarm bells.
"If you make the system your god, you'll soon be telling lies in order to remain consistent."

Oh snap, they're having a beard-off. (Joe Perticone's got a lead on all of them though.) Also, of course Tim wouldn't wait for MAGA Mondays to break the Milo Yiannopoulos story without him.

Fred is the ultimate straightman. Just totally along for the ride, and barely needs to say a word to get it done.

Following up on a recent post about "Elephants" - I know most people already know this, but if you like Danny Weinkauf's contributions to the kids albums, be sure to check out his solo albums (also for kids).
He's basically TMBG's George Harrison: allowed one song per album only to end up with hours of backlogged solo material. (jk)

"The Tree Who Set Healthy Boundaries" - I came across this alternate version of "The Giving Tree" today and couldn't help but think of it in terms of Orthodoxy's promotion of self-abasement/annihilation (the original book) vs. a more constructive/mutual giving (the new one).

Thinking about "(She Was A) Hotel Detective" and "Alienation's for the Rich." They really need to bring back ending songs with maniacal laughter.
Any other examples I've forgotten?

CNN's message going into the midterms: America is HOT again!
Or maybe it's just that if everything is going to be prohibitively expensive, people are (reasonably) expecting more out of it.

At a used bookstore. Looks like another ex-Orthodox recently emptied their bookshelf. ✊ (Either that or someone raided my closet. Maybe I should check.)
