Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve has no business not being on the original Midnights track list.
When I said this on TikTok, I got a barrage of comments saying why it wasn’t, and I would like to respond to each justification individually.
1. “It’s track 19 because she mentions being 19.” Dear John is track 5 and still works there amongst an array of songs covering various topics, as Midnights does. Fifteen and 22 are tracks 2 and 6 respectively and still work.
Wrist drop - by Gavin Giovannoni
2024-12-04
A 62-year old male come to A&E on a Sunday morning with a dropped wrist. What is the diagnosis?
This is typically due to compression of the radial nerve as it winds around the humerus in the spiral groove of the humerus. It often occurs in association with excessive drinking or the use of sedatives. It is typically associated with weakness in all radial nerve muscles with wrist, thumb, and finger drop.
“Do you think that’s the silent film actor Conrad Veidt, star of THE MAN WHO LAUGHS, standing next to your grandfather in the photo?”
This is not kind of email I send every day, but, for a cinephile like me, it made my morning. The B&W photograph it was referring to was one of several that filmmaker Chris Weitz sent me to include in my latest artist-on-artist conversation, each a little piece of his family’s long history in Hollywood.

As the writers strike grinds on, a high-profile group of writer-directors is teaming up with the Motion Picture Television Fund to raise funds to support IATSE members, Teamsters and other entertainment industry workers who are getting financially hit.
Girls creator Lena Dunham and The Spy Who Dumped Me writer-director Susanna Fogel both hopped on the phone Tuesday to tell me more about the fund — The Union Solidarity Coalition, or TUSC for short.

XCOM: EU/EW - Beating April
2024-12-04
This post is meant to help players win at the highest difficulty setting (Ironman/Impossible) though I am sure it will help you play at any level. April is the second hardest month of the campaign, because now we must deal with Thin Men. The beta testers did a perfect job of balancing out the Thin Man’s deadly aim, with equally high speed and damage. I am now and forever terrified by the chilling whispery echo that announces their presence.
This column is “XP Arcade,” in which I’ll focus on a game from the arcades, or one that is clearly inspired by arcade titles, and so on. Previous entries in this series can be found through this link.
I was born in 1986, while arcades were on the rise once again. I was also raised in a town where arcades had not and would not exist — my experience with arcade games in my youth was in bowling alleys, laundromats, pizza places, but until the occasional Chuck E.

Y'all, the Duck Decoy Market is Wild
2024-12-04
Back in October 2022, my wife and I visited the Easton Waterfowl Festival. We had a blast and came upon a startling realization—there is an entire market dedicated to rare, historic, or realistic-looking duck decoys. These decoys sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars. In fact, one pair of decoys sold for $1.13 million in 2012!
How could this possibly be? And who are these collectors that can afford to shell out this kind of money?
