"I’m worried about him… I heard he’s circling the jet just to fall asleep."

One of the funniest lines I've ever heard.

And much like Succession, there are several lines like this one intermixed with lots of circling dialogue in various rooms. But, also just like Succession, I've watched it twice now and I'll probably watch it at least a third.

Daily Rituals

One of my favorites. I return to it often. Sometimes a chapter is just a paragraph, but even then it gives a great, humanizing look into the artist’s life. Highly recommended.

Sinners

I think I came in thinking it'd be something completely new and different, and was a little disappointed when it wasn't.

Good music. Okay action. Questionable southern accents.

Personal site as a content repository

Lately, I’ve caught myself wishing I had a Letterboxd or Goodreads or similar account—just so I could easily check what I’ve recently watched or read and actually remember it when I’m talking to someone.

But, I've never gotten into those services, and now it's too late, because I think I'm done having new online services in my life.

In fact, In the present day of Claude Code, I am ready to just start making my own services. And, so, long story short that's what I'm doing here.

Welcome.

Sinners

One of my red flags is that I'm a jerk about actors' southern accents.

Personal site as a content repository

If nothing else, a personal site in 2025 is a good place to store your thoughts and opinions for later LLM retrieval.
