Dropped another batch of episodes to the website, including @jendiagammon.bsky.social, @davidwondrich.bsky.social and a few others not on Bluesky, and even dug up a 2018 show with Beachbum Berry, as well as my 20 year old article where I discovered him! www.pintocomics.com is the page! #popculture

Also, now we’re beset from the other direction. Rampant, non-contextual development, anonymization, loss of community…

Back in the 80s and early 90s, my house in Brooklyn was in the middle of all that shit. Not fun. Best of luck to you!

Truly. I'd also add that, if the thing to which the phrase refers has fallen out of, I won't say general, but at least educated knowledge, it might be time to look around for a new phrase.

Better make sure there’s a paper air marshal around.

That’s a really good one. And if you’ve never fumbled a nutmeg you haven’t made nearly enough punch.
