Saw these folks marching down Washington St yesterday with signs and chants, bringing some great energy! Solidarity, friends.

It's a portmanteau of Pennsylvania and Kentucky referring to rural parts of the state, specifically Appalachia, being more culturally southern than the rest.

Maybe a Pennsyltucky joke? Even when they were being sold, finding a Confederate flag in NYC would have been unlikely.

In an episode of Happy Days, The Fonz goes water skiing, encounters a shark, and jumps over it in the water skis. It marked a moment of dramatic decline in the show's overall quality, and the term has been used since for any such point in time where something is identifiably worse after a specific event.

Like everyone's been saying, learn to take care of yourself. Cook and eat well and exercise and sleep. But also just fuck around a lot. Say yes to things. Try something new every time you can, even if it's just a dish you've never had. Meet people and talk to them and have fun with them. It's harder to meet people as you get older.

Travel if you can, but you don't need to be a jet setter to have new experiences. Find trails and museums and go listen to live music. Try creating things, you don't have to be good at it or keep doing it, just doing it is the point.

Aging comes with a certain amount of solidity, in your energy and mind and responsibilities. It's amazing and it's not something to fear, but it does mean you can't just fuck around as much. And if you're going to be a person for the rest of your life it might as well be a person you like.

It's such a a beautiful day by Don Hertzfeldt is available on Vimeo from NA so I'm not sure that it quite fits the "can't find anywhere" label. As is World of Tomorrow, which is a modern sci fi favorite of mine.

As another user mentioned, piracy is an option but so is a casual internet search?

I've always been a casual runner, never really trained seriously and threw some gear on whenever my body started telling me it needed it. In recent years that's led to a pretty lax schedule. Yesterday I ran 5k and it marked 6 months of running at least once a week, which is the most consistent I've been in about a decade. I'm pretty happy with that.

I'm partial to the 1960s. David Lean did Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Kubrick had Dr Strangelove and 2001. Hitchcock put out Psycho, Kurosawa did Yojimbo. Cool Hand Luke, Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy.

Cinema was really ambitious and huge in scope, and directors with an eye for photography were doing some incredible, slow, lingering shots.

Seeing Jason Mendoza from Jacksonville Florida did that for me. He probably ended up on Coruscant after doing whippits and didn't want to come clean because he thought he'd get in trouble.

It was Mick Foley making fun of The Rock, which was way more fun for me.
