That season, there was a long arc where Oscar's pet worm Slimey had been selected to be on the first worm mission to the moon. Over weeks they had segments about his training, doing worm pushups, getting flung from the little worm centrifuge, etc etc.

The Artemis crew returning tomorrow made me remember the last successful moon landing. Not Apollo 17 in 1972, the mission in 1998. I remember it like it was yesterday. My son was 2, and every morning I'd get up early and doze while he watched (amongst other things) Sesame Street.

I've only lived in Philadelphia for a year now, and that's long enough to know how long these would last on the streets here if they tried to deploy them.

By rocket to the moon
By airplane to the rocket
By taxi to the airport

Thanks again to my uncle who left Philip K Dick and Robert Sheckley books laying around my grandparents' house.

In a Lyft home after seeing some music and I forgot how much I hate the radio. It’s been a solid 8 minutes of commercials straight out hollering.

Forrest Gump filled me with seething rage. My favorite part of it was when lightning struck nearby and the power went out for 10 minutes.

What's the John Barth novel that's layers and layers of frame stories and the different layers start talking to each other? Am I imagining that's a thing?

This talk at XOXO last year is one of my favorite things ever, and the rest of the story only makes it better.

Embarrassed that I'd never heard of this band until yesterday and have seen a dozen links to them in the last 24 hours. Microtonal math rock is (to no one's surprise) 100% my thing.

it's like one of those small family-owned circuses we took the kids to when they were little. The tightrope walker would run backstage, change hats, and return as the lion tamer.

A serious regret in my life: back in the 80s, the Arkestra was hired in Syracuse to play all night on New Year's Eve (a set every other hour from 8pm to 8am). I was home from college, but didn't want to go by myself. Dumb dumb dumb.
