Last Notes npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty In 1986 I moved to Philadelphia to attend Temple University. There weren’t many dorms back then so I found an apartment with another student on a crime-ridden block in center city. I knew no one. But I brought a bunch of bootleg VHS movies. When I say a bunch, I mean like ten. They got a lot of viewing. This was one of them. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I was once offered to direct lesbian porn for the Philly mob. I declined. But I’ll bet that would have been interesting. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty TIL about “The Edgar,” a bowl haircut favored by young Hispanic males associated with gangs. Or so I am told. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Louisiana passing a Ten Commandments law is the GOP just probing the wire. They don’t give a fuck about the Ten Commandments. They just want to see how far they push the Supreme Court to nullify the Constitution. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Suffering leads to happiness which is why it’s so absurd to chase happiness but trying to avoid suffering. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty My wife and her precious grandchildren. From two years ago. They’re all so much older now. Today is her birthday. She’s 61. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1g0h…2pkv I’ve been led to believe, and it’s true today, that you can change the audio to your local radio broadcast, even if our guys aren’t calling the game on tv. That little icon on the screen next to CC. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I pay for Apple TV+, so why do I have to watch commercials during a baseball game? It should be the rare game without commercials. #mlb #baseball #appletvplus npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Why are they always shooting up grocery stores and Walmarts? Is it because that’s the highest concentration of people in these backwater shitholes? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1ahq…wjwd So, you all moved in, more or less? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1y8v…xdp9 yeah, no. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty That’s fucking rude. If it’s hot out they can charge more for water and ice cream? They actually said that out loud. https://mastodon.social/@JustChapman/112655917796381700 npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty This is some crazy-ass weather. It’s 87° but the humidity is only 60%. That’s like desert weather compared what we’re used to. Usually the humidity would be 80-90%. So it doesn’t feel that hot out unless you’re in the sun. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Good read. I like Conan even though he’s not my favorite form of humor. A bit too manic for my liking but I like that he’s fearless and smart. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty In an actual debate, where two sides take opposing views on a single point and try to win the argument, there is a winner and a loser. Political debates are not real debates. They’re awkward, dueling stump speeches. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Well that was a pleasant surprise. Of course Thomas dissented. https://journa.host/@w7voa/112655192081992181 npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Donald Sutherland on why he never became a US citizen (he was Canadian): npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Everyone seems so willing to whore themselves out to AI as quickly as possible. That is not a winning pitch for me. It’s a dealbreaker. I realize it’s an overly broad, stupid term, but machine learning sounded better before they were trying to get it to make bad art and write shitty prose. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I’m reading a book about life in the restaurant world during the 80s in NYC and I’m getting nostalgic for booze, sex and drugs with youthful abandon. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub10h7…l9gn Yuck. Been to Dubai once. For a week. For work. It was 130° and humid. In August. During Ramadan. It sucked. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty If you look at the relationships in the movies “Almost Famous,” “Elizabethtown,” and “Jerry McGuire,” you have to ask yourself how fucked up is Cameron Crowe? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I do wonder if there will ever be a reemergence of new brand of Luddites who refuse to go along with AI-fueled tech. I definitely feel like I’m on the short side of the debate. Even Apple is going all in. It’s not good. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty More reading. Less news. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Hummingbirds sound a lot more like chipmunks than birds. They chatter. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I see the lack of affordable housing as one the foundational problems we have in America. We need a solution and government leadership. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I’m the biggest sucker of all. I pay for YouTube Red so I don’t have to see any commercials. Then, I watch overly long videos designed to require commercial breaks. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I’m not sure how other people feel about it, but I feel a lot of pressure to “like” comments to my posts. Not even to comment on them, but just to acknowledge them. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Somewhere along the way towards tolerance we created a space where everyone gets offended by everything, even going so far as to be offended on someone else’s behalf. Sometimes it feels like we lost the plot line. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Man. I heard a hard line in a dumb movie. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1ye6…pwej Whatever all of it is. I was going to say I never had an aol address, but I used aol in the early days, so I must have. Did it all. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty The fact that Israel will kill 150 Palestinians to save four Israelis doesn’t make the lives of the remaining hostages more valuable. It makes them less so. Israel has no interest in negotiating their release. They’ll take them back by force or they’ll die. I think it’s clear human life is not a high priority in their calculations. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I guess Lewis just Streisanded himself. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/07/world/europe/washington-post-publisher-scandal.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I think this might be the best one of these I’ve ever seen. Lots of clips I’ve never seen before. #sports npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty 1984 was 40 fucking years ago. I’m gonna need a minute. These things creep up on me sometimes. That’s the year “Dune” came out, also “The Natural,” “The Karate Kid, “Sixteen Candles,” “Footloose,” and “The Terminator.” npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Instagram is completely unrecognizable. It’s all just short video clips of shit you should be watching full frame on YouTube. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty The identify of the leaders of ANTIFA finally revealed. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I was invited, at the last minute, and I mean ten minutes prior, to a local watch party for the local Dem candidate for Congress in the NJ primary. I actually voted for this person. Usually these local races are called by like 8:30-9:00pm. They still haven’t called it. I had pretty much written the local party off. I met a bunch of new people. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I’m sure it matters to someone, but what do I care whether COVID-19 started in a lab or was caused by someone barbecuing a pangolin to cure their psoriasis? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1k4q…4nh2 Well, I don’t read much of what he has to say. I try to ignore him. But I’ll allow a quote in passing in a news story. I can’t watch any television news. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I really can’t listen to Trump talk. Not even a little. I have a visceral reaction. I’ll read what he had to say but I won’t listen to him. I don’t want that voice anywhere near my head. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Cars have gotten so stupid. So expensive. So overbuilt. It’s insanity. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub10h7…l9gn The baseball Hall of Fame is in Cooperstown, NY. https://baseballhall.org/ npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I write every day but not everything becomes something. Lately I’ve been a bit lazy about producing anything long form, but have consistently jotted down my random observations and that’s what this is. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1eqm…zv84 She did not. She is funny. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I just learned that “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee” is done. No mas. What a bummer. I was looking forward to so many more comedians. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty In any other world this trial would be an utter disaster of epic proportions for a political candidate. The more the Defense tries to smear the witnesses as scum, the clearer it is who Trump runs with. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I’m far more excited about this new Seinfeld movie than I thought I would be. They don’t make movies like this much anymore. Seriously stupid comedies. #Unfrosted npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty What do you suppose Trump is thinking about when he closes his eyes in court? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Oddly, the YouTube app doesn’t have a mute button. That seems so strange to me. It’s one the best reasons to watch a baseball game on television, because I can mute the commercials and when they bring visitors in to talk to the announcers. #MLB npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I’m not impressed with the writing of anyone that covers the Phillies, at least none of the people I’m aware of. Is anyone killing it out there? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty ‘A lot would have to go wrong for Biden to lose’: can Allan Lichtman predict the 2024 election? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty You’d think the world would wait a hundred years or so before committing the same egregious mistakes from the past, but I guess the cycle is getting shorter. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1lyl…7m5l That’s why it’s better to not even start. Don’t mess with that shit. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty What a horrible redesign. Painful. Maybe they could make the trademark symbols a bit bigger. That seems important. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1q36…pysa A missed opportunity for sure. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty This is already archaic. Before you know it kids won’t even believe this even existed. Like in fifty years they’ll be saying, “What do you mean dogs couldn’t vote?” npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty People used to fight for things, at great personal cost. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I get that public protests are fun and exciting, very communal. But I have yet to see many that were all that effective. It’s usually a bunch of really stupid chants and handful of reporters. It’s like a flash mob nobody wanted. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Just put that with my $75k salary. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/04/23/caitlin-clark-nike-contract/ npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Colin Jost hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner should be good. https://www.vulture.com/article/white-house-correspondents-dinner-2024-host-stream.html npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1lte…85mj I love the stack of articles. Such a childish prop. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty May I ask a stupid question? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1ahq…wjwd It would be pretty ironic. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty A little amuse bouche to start your day. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Fining Trump $10k for violating the gag order is a joke. Might as well be $1. Toss him in Rikers for a week. He claims he wants to go. Let’s test that theory. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty The GOP wants to send in the US military to crush student protests. Just like Russia, China, Egypt, and Iran. Tiananmen Square, anyone? They’ve got great instincts, don’t they? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1xsy…cevg Hopefully. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Can you imagine explaining to someone in 1990 that the presumptive Republican nominee for president was on trial for 34 felony accounts of cooking the books to cover up a sexual encounter with a porn star, and then lying about it, and no one in the party cared? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1xsy…cevg right? I have a MINI and a Jeep Wrangler. The MINI you have to watch. The Jeep you don’t. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty NYT: A young man set himself on fire after dousing himself with a flammable liquid in Collect Pond Park, across from the courthouse. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I think I want to go back and revisit the magic of old favorite television shows but in reality they’re often dated and cringey. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty This will come as a surprise to no one, but I’m completely full of shit. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty Oh come on. I decided to go out to lunch today. The pub has the local news on with wall-to-wall coverage of the minor “earthquake.” npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty If Biden wants to ensure his re-election, a good start would be to cut Israel off from all aid. Be a true world leader. It would go a long way. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I love anything shot in black and white and the production looks great, but why do we need a miniseries based on “The Talented Mr Ripley?” npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty YouTube jacking the price of Red by $6 is fucking rude.

Douchebags. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub19qn…6760 Equally, I’d like to be able to mute a conversation/thread. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty How the fuck do you run a ship into a bridge?

I’m not sure what the point is anymore. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I’m not sure we’ve ever seen someone level an entire civilization and kill so many of the inhabitants in modern times. This is like Roman shit. Burn everything. Kill everyone. It’s their solution to the problem. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty What do you call it when terrorists terrorize terrorists? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty @npub1ahq…wjwd I don’t think anything compares to today. Forget fascism, which is older than dirt. Technology has outpaced journalism and humanity is in danger of annihilation. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty It’s only recently occurred to me that I need to be documenting the times we’re living in. I’m looking back to the unrest of the 1960s, which in relation to what we’re dealing with today, was child’s play. This is the most momentous time in the history of America since the Civil War It’s awful, but how lucky am I to be smack dab in the middle of it? How obtuse have I been? It’s insane. It’s all I should be writing about until the end of my life. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty It’s March and I’m mowing the goddamn lawn.

What is this, Florida? npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I think if you appreciate sports, you can always see the beauty and art in a singular performance, but when you follow a team, there is real affection for the players when they go beyond. npub1mm92u4wgxqfe0mnuukrn7s5ga0ft9qxvj206tken23q5q6tsdstqgqa8jr David Todd McCarty I want to read more about this.

It’s just not all that useful when we’re talking about the weather. Boiling shouldn’t really come into it.
