Ran into Norman Lear at a The Black Version show at the Groundlings in LA. Talked to him briefly and was able to tell him that, while my parents didn't watch a lot of TV when we were growing up, the one show we did watch was All In The Family.

One of that last set-a-big-goal-complete-a-big-goal things the United States ever did. We should set big goals of Universal Healthcare within 10 years and convert to all renewable energy for transportation and electricity generation within 30 years. But we won't.

Does it include any animals that have been killed on your behalf so that you can eat them? Could be a tough report card for a lot of people.

Who was filming this and why? The camera is hand held. It was certainly an amazing coincidence to be filming before all this happened and, then, not do anything about it.

Check out Oakland, CA weather. The best weather in all of North America and in the Top 10 in the World. And usually 10° lower dew points than Hawaii. Most of the houses don't even have air conditioning since you don't need it.

Really nice photo! And should win the award for Best Use of Rain in New Orleans!

Such a great movie. We re-watched it just a month ago. I've often described it as the funniest rom-com ever because the jokes are written as jokes and not just as funny situations.

This Fall will be the beginning of vaccine tourism for wealthy-enough Americans. Everyone will just be stuck.

It's a major Personal Wealth vs Ethics moment for @mcuban.bsky.social. He's been a big crypto currency cheerleader and has bet his own money on it. But now the president is using it for a bald-faced bribery scheme. Let's watch where Marc comes out on all this.

Ditto! During the "Cash For Clunkers" deal, we traded our 16 mpg Mercedes 420SEL for our 48 mph Prius and it was like the whole parking world in SF and Oakland opened its arms for us. 313,000 miles later, our Prius is simply a great urban car.

Expect talk about "Job Creaters" to start real soon as a lead in to giving the richest Americans massive tax cuts.

"Only" about 500 people a couple weeks ago. The protest against Musk and his actions in this middle class neighborhood shows no sign of letting up.

So Mark is probably right on this. If you try to regulate it, you own it. Just let it run wild and let the crypto culture sink or swim on its own. Let those that have joined recruit other ponzi's. Mark can make his billions on the backs of young men with only $100 even though that seems sad.

I sure hope Mark covers sneakers, cars, Axe body spray, and "chasing tail" in Young Men Series.

Right. Get rich quick. Not savings at a bank. It's silly to bring up banks in this conversation.
edhorst.bsky.social (@edhorst.bsky.social) reply parent
Sorry, Mark. "Don't open bank accounts because they are too expensive" is straight BS. Some of the most interesting banks are free and have FDIC coverage. Young men have been sold on a get-rich-quick scheme and that's why they are doing it. The idea of "savings" never crossed their minds.

I used to say in the earlier high tech days of the 80's that a visible, spokesperson-type CEO was the as having 50 people in marketing. These days -- with all the digital amplification -- it's probably worth 10X-100X more. You, Mark, are serving that role for Cost Plus Drugs.

Thanks! Both early and late show? The early show is sold out, but the late show seems to have tickets. We'll see if we can make the late show work (although my wife is an early show person these days 😄).

Are you also doing it (or part of it) anywhere else on the 13th thru 17th?

Loved your last special that was shot at the Comedy Store.

OK, we at majorly trusting you on this. We're from Northern California and weren't going to be in town for this. But now we are. And specifically for this reason! So... look for us!
edhorst.bsky.social (@edhorst.bsky.social) reply parent
Might have to do with driving distances in the different locations. We regularly drive 400 miles one way trips (and that gets us less than 1/2 way through our California state.). I've been waiting for 400-450 mile range EVs; more would be better. Until then, our 2010 Prius is still giving us 46 mpg.

The feel of the physical keyboard on a Blackberry that would allow you to accurately touch type messages without even looking at the screen.

Feb 17 or 18 would be an ideal time for another run-the-hour because 1) we may be in LA at that time and 2) we had to scratch seeing you right before Thanksgiving when filming was was a conflict. 🙏

How about SLOW HORSES S4?
edhorst.bsky.social (@edhorst.bsky.social) reply parent
There are no exterior door handles! The doors are unable to open if there is an electrical failure (eg a crash). The only manual releases are INSIDE the cabin, but the passenger has to be conscious and know where to look. The cable release in the back seat is behind a panel. I wouldn't ride in one.

The best solution may have been to put your camera on tripod (or rock) and use the timer to take 3 or 5 bracketed photos that are at least 2 stops in each direction. Then have Lightroom blend them together.

Most people don't use them anymore, but they can help. But your situation is even trickier since you have a deep vertical valley of shadows.

Maybe a split neutral density filter for the foreground, but I'm talking about a physical filter that would have had to be present when the photo was taken.

Attacking the 4 people in the vehicle is outrageously inappropriate. This is a horrific event for all families involved. So much for BlueSky being somehow different than X/Twitter.
