Mostly Screen Time: September 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A top-line update. I ran into an old friend recently at the mall (the Burbank Town Center, get it RIGHT) and in our brief encounter she told me she started watching Furious based on last month’s round up. To impact positive real world change… 🫦 politics found rotting.This month: TV’s best comedy is back with eight great new episodes, Sandra Bullock acts again, and YA that is not all created equal.<a class="image-link image2 is
Hey Siri (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Quick note that I buried the lede; the fun part is after a few paragraphs of tech talk.Apple’s “Siri AI” is coming very soon. I stand by what I wrote at the top of this year, when word-vomiting my thoughts about AI at the time:Years before 2024’s iOS updates that launched Apple Intelligence (the company’s own cheeky use of the acronym AI), there were plenty of “smart” functions in the phone that predicted text, showed possible map destinations upon getti

This month: a slow TV month as I took a vacation, dinosaurs have me giddy for the state of summer blockbusters, and the Looney Tunes are back in action, not to be confused with 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back in Action.⭐️ Highest recs get a star from meeeee…<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!KIxj!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F108b9235-1824-494a-b32c-60f1182ced41_128
Having a Bananza (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since obtaining a Nintendo Switch 2 last summer, I’ve primarily spent my time playing two games. And one of them I wrote too much about already. And I’ve been 🦍~*monkeying*~🍌 around with the other one for months, happily. A more dedicated gAmEr might have completed every monkey side quest within a week but I took Donkey Kong Bananza with me on various travels, dropped in to play for 30 or 60 minutes here and there, until beating the “final boss” about 6 months after first diving in.

At the Bowl in 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A show at the Hollywood Bowl (Los Angeles, CA) is a delightful summer evening outing; breaking news. I wrote as much last August when I was listing everything that made me love Los Angeles after living here for 15 years (now 16, okayyy driver’s license!)— and I didn’t even go one time last summer.
