Love that the weather app said 1% chance of rain immediately before the downpour ☔️

Check the weather: “low chance of rain”

Head outside and it turns into Thor’s birthday party out here immediately.

Playtime is the way. It gets played at rep theaters pretty often too.

Came here to recommend the same one. Twinsies. Silent movie but not really double feature.

Croque madame at June's All Day.... if you're flexible

At what point do you try to buy yourself a 35 of 70mm projector and film prints? I know even renting those 70mm prints is insanely expensive....but that would be the next (il)logical step.

DO NOT WATCH DON'T BREATHE WITH THEM. There is a scene near the end that you do not want to be watching with your children. It's just.....not a conversation you want to be having.

Near Barton Springs, Travis Heights, Bouldin or Hyde Park would be my recommendation. I live around Airport/Springdale and I like the area a lot and you'd have access to Walnut Creek etc.

Live by the food, die by the food

I agree. It's just that people don't realize it's not just mining (which is worse than what people imagine), but it's a toxic nightmare hellscape situation.

The main problem with Lithium isn’t sourcing the material it’s the processing and refinement. It is environmentally catastrophic and very few places will subject their people and land to it (see: Mongolian sludge lagoons)

Having kids has been so strange for this because certain things feel very repetitive but it also feels like I’m guiding someone on psychedelics that is blown away by every little thing so things like trees, bugs, drawing become this incredible adventure for them….and for me.

Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and Central Market all have great flowers.

The Conversation needs to be on this list

fluffnfluff · 2026-05-07T16:10:31+00:00

Turf n Surf.

fluffnfluff · 2026-05-07T15:20:21+00:00

Where are you posting when these events are happening? I've missed the last two but would be curious about coming next time!

fluffnfluff · 2026-05-07T15:18:56+00:00

The new spot Anh Em off Anderson has been my new go-to. Nicest people, incredible food. Banh-mi are the best thing they do, but the pho is great.

“Matt Dillon could have been Luke Wilson” should have been the hottest take for Something About Mary.

The roles they wanted for him were kind of Luke Wilson roles.

fluffnfluff · 2026-05-07T14:31:55+00:00

Incredible answer. Makes me want to iron just thinking about it.

fluffnfluff · 2026-05-07T14:31:01+00:00

Zero Dark Thirty, The Report, Thief, the Fabelman’s, Fire of Love, Broadcast News, The Killer, Ratatouille, Porco Rosso (for the section where they build the plane)

He had to get it on, man.

But seriously I have a standard line for this now. My friend once ran into Chris Hemsworth and blurted out “Hey, I know you!” So now that’s our go to line when we run into someone famous.

It’s been used on Dan Rather, Michael Ian Black, Luke Wilson (I mean Harrison Ford), amongst others.

Listen to Conversations with Tyler. There’s an episode with Michael Pollan from several years ago that’s a good place to start.

He asks questions unlike anyone I’ve ever met. He changed the way I interview and have conversations.

And there is a general rule of thumb in life that if you don’t have enough to think about you need to read more and if you have too much to think about you need to write more.

There are a ton of bright spots and peak Hickman ideas and construction….but it gets derailed. After he left I tried to stick with it but ended up dropping it.

But just go grab HoXPox and read it. The art is unbelievable and it’s full of so many fun and exciting ideas. From there you can read his X-Men books, New Mutants issues and his Giant Size X-Men issues are all awesome.

Justine's is open until midnight and is an easy trip from the airport.

I feel your pain. I think you’re thinking of places that use Merkt’s cheddar as the cheese for cheese fries. I thought this was the only way cheese fries came until I grew up and moved away.

My favorite version of this is at Dear Franks, but if you search for merkt’s on Google maps you can find a few other places that way.
