I've been watching Pee Wee's Playhouse with my kid and Hannibal with my wife and now I really want to see a Pee Wee's Playhouse movie with Scott Thompson in some sort of nemesis role, like he moves into a similar but even wackier playhouse right next door.

Saw something on facebook last night about how people shouldn't be idiots and wear played out Harambe costumes for halloween, and as I was falling asleep thought about how somebody should dress as Beyonce while eating pork, drinking alcohol, and offering loans with interest so they could be HARAM BEY for halloween.

I was watching Planet Earth and thinking about how it put so much of the human garbage happening in the world in an entirely different perspective and evokes a sense of awe and wonder and even hope, so my terrible idea is Planet Earth but with Trump in the corner of the screen giving a running commentary. Maybe the worst idea I've ever had.

Hillary Clinton standing on a bridge, about to jump, when an older woman suddenly appears and jumps off first. Hillary dives in and saves her.
- "What's the matter with you?"- "Hi, Hillary. I'm Eleanor. I've heard a lot about you."
They go to NIck's.- "Why's he spraying the pharmacist with seltzer?"- "Health Care was never passed in the 90s, so the pharmacist wasn't able to give the underinsured any medicine. Everyone hates him now."- "But.."- "Let's move on.
- "Ok, a vacant field..."- "This vacant field here in West Memphis was supposed to be a big Toyota plant. But they went elsewhere because they couldn't find skilled educated workers in Arkansas. No one had been there to lead reform."- "But I..."- "Let's move on."
- "What happened to Washington DC? What's with all the gaudy gold lettering and fake tits?"- "There was no one to stop Donald Trump from becoming president."- "FOR THE LOVE OF..."- "Wait, there's one more thing."
- "Here's Bill. Crammed into a tavern booth, a redhead on one arm and a brunette on the other."- "Eleanor, what was the fucking point of - "Ding! Ding!- "Listen, Hillary! Another Democrat just supported the war!"

I follow someone on twitter who has a funny picture of a chihuahua as their profile pic, and I always feel happy when I see the chihuahua picture pop up in my feed regardless of the content of their tweet, so I think there should be a feature on twitter that lets you choose an alternative profile picture for particular accounts, and then have that picture be the one that appears in your feed next to their tweets. that way, if there's someone you dislike but feel obliged to follow on twitter for some reason, you at least will get to see a funny picture of a chihuahua (or whatever) every time one of their tweets appears.

Ouevr: a subscription mail-order music service that sends you an artist's entire discography piece by piece, preserving the original time intervals between releases so that you can experience their career 'in real time'. ex. if you subscribe to Pink Floyd, you'll start off with
'Arnold Layne' (March 10, 2017)'See Emily Play' (June 16, 2017)The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (August 5, 2017)
and so on, and so on, until you finally get to The Endless River on November 7, 2054.
to build up hype and immerse you in the original cultural context, the service will send you vintage press releases and magazine ads in anticipation of major releases, and for added verisimilitude, you'll have the option of picking up the records at a fake record store on their respective 'release dates'.
eventually the service will expand to cover entire time periods, so if you're an '00s kid born in the wrong generation, you can spend the next 10 years receiving all the essential vinyls and cassettes and CDs a typical indie kid would have purchased in the '90s.
if you're not interested in getting physical copies of the albums, you can subscribe to a streaming service that 'unlocks' an artist's output in chronological order, and if you're impatient you can accelerate the process and consume a discography at 5 times or 10 times or 20 times its original duration.
if the business model is successful, it might even cross over into other media, ex. Pynchon's complete works, every issue of Cerebrus, every Mac product the average techie would have bought from 1984 onward, etc.

I can't believe that I never posted any of the songs I've repurposed into ad jingles here (a la 'Gimme gimme Pop Secret'). This morning I transformed 'Sinnerman' into an epic about Cinnamon Toast Crunch ('Oh cinnamon where you gonna run to, oh cinnamon your sugar needs you', etc.). I should probably be shot or something, huh.
