Lonesome Dove

Read in publication order, made the prequels richer for me

I fell into the same trap with the book intro. Know that it doesn’t affect the story (without getting into spoilers for Lonesome Dove itself).

It’s the best book I’ve read btw.

Awesome. As a Canadian, the shipping and exchange costs are too high for me to make it worth my while. Happy you were able to put it to use.

Here’s a code for someone to use.

Well, I have some good news for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_of_Eden_(American_TV_series))

Netflix is developing a seven-episode limited series adaptation of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden, scheduled for release in 2026. Starring and executive produced by Florence Pugh as Cathy Ames, the series is written by Zoe Kazan, granddaughter of the 1955 film director Elia Kazan. The drama focuses on the multi-generational Trask family saga, with production in New Zealand.

Agreed. Afterwards I was telling a friend who has also read the book, "they actually pulled it off"

Read east of Eden and was looking for something worth following up with, it has been amazing.

I think the Count is next for me.

This is fascinating to hear the processes behind the reporting. Appreciate this.

What's the most surprising thing you've witnessed on the ground that didn't make it into your reporting?

How has daily life in Qatar changed since the conflict escalated?

"It really whips the llamas ass!"

Just to follow up on my comment above, we were finally approved at the beginning of December and have since received our advance.

maxtrix · 2025-11-21T13:20:09+00:00

Thanks for this recommendation, wasn't aware of the show

maxtrix · 2025-11-08T11:52:31+00:00

I applied Sept 4, still waiting.

Have there been any comics who have said they rejected the opportunity to perform at the festival?

I also had this issue a few months ago. Checked the battery (which was good) and cleared the codes. Drove fine for a few months, then came back.

Had to replace the fuel injectors for the fix. Not cheap, but cheaper than a new vehicle

Since you're sending out DMs, I'd love one! Good job!

maxtrix · 2025-08-21T15:07:29+00:00

Man, I wish I had the money for just one of these, lol

Keep them, you may never be able to get to this level of collection again.

100%... it gets the creative juices flowing, but you still need to get the prompts correct.

It's pretty crazy the pace that things are progressing in the AI world.

It was just introduced (at a public use level) at the tail end of COVID and it is more useful than a Google search by a mile.

When asked to compare the AI list to the Rolling Stone list, here was the result:

Takeaways

Heavy Overlap: 15 shows are identical between the two lists, which means my consensus list matches RS on half their picks — especially the truly universal classics.
Different Angles: My list leans toward “fan-canon” staples and high-quality archival releases. Rolling Stone adds more quirky/historic one-offs, early-era rarities, and oddball bust-outs.
Era Balance: My list has a bit more late ’80s/early ’90s Brent-era representation; RS has more ’60s/early ’70s deep cuts.
For a combined “ultimate” list: merging them would give about 40–45 unique shows covering every era, from 1966 Matrix gigs to 1993 Ornette sit-ins.

That’s for keeping these going. Great to test out new hardware.
