Colin Powell's RIPs are not the same without his take.

Think about him all the time, not sure what to say about it. Sometimes think about how to explain to outsiders: “you see my dead gay friend from the internet. Some of my best friends are gay internet friends. Which is exactly what a homophobe might say, but…”

WFMU DJ Pseu Braun just marked the anniversary on a mic break a few minutes ago. She really misses the big lug.

Anyway, all I know that I stand by what I wrote about him last year on Facepalm, whatever that was, and that The Paul Lynde Halloween Special won’t be the same without him.

Spending my afternoon working on a John Hughes-centric portion of my dissertation, which Morbs would undoubtedly grumble at. Miss you, man.

I think about him a lot, in fact I can hear him now. With a bit of distance from his irascibility it's more and more clear how much he loved justice and beauty and everyone, and how fiercely. Miss you, Bill.

I was thinking last night that I Love Baseball is a much quieter place now a days. I think a lot of people were on there just to debate/argue/yell at/with morbs.

Bill has been gone one year ago today. Watch a classic comedy in his honor. Might I suggest It Happened Tomorrow (René Clair, 1944)? it's on YouTube here.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 21 October 2021 bookmarkflaglink
Just watched - excellent suggestion. Thanks Kevin, and Bill.

i've been thinking about that and i'm pretty sure it'd be the braves, reluctantly. i don't think he actually cared much about the astros cheating (bless him) but like the sox and dodgers they won too recently and he usually just wanted a fresh winner.
been missing morbs in ILBB all year. i disagreed with him on a lot of things and occasionally got into nasty fights with him (including an argument that made me quit ilx for 2 years....which he probably forgot about within a week) but we usually got angry about all the same shit when it came to baseball. he's a big reason i have a soft spot for mets fans.

i do intend to watch that classic comedy linked upthread but i just realized i'm inadvertently celebrating morbs by watching what i understand was one of his favorite films, cure by kiyoshi kurosawa
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Friday, 22 October 2021 18:32 (two years ago) link
last month i watched a film that i feel certain morbs would've loved, or at least admired. maybe he watched it at some point but i don't know for sure, and it's just a huge bummer that i can't talk to him about it now.
also surm i hope you're ok <3
