At long last, all of the Secular XMAS songs & anti-Summer anthems by me & @Mikeyerg are going to be available on a 12" vinyl LP from #StateChampionRecords!
Limited Edition!

300 copies on Secular Red vinyl w/hand screen printed jackets, new sleeve art & liner notes by me, containing both of our 1st two EPs + our end-of-2016 politically charged holiday single, "XMAS Next Year."

You can pre-order it here: statechampionrecords.bigcartel.com/product/the-sp…
Oh boy is this a good omen or WHAT

Moments after announcing the new Spirit Of Ratliff LP from #StateChampionRecords, my copy of Lincoln by @tmbg on red vinyl arrives!

(An album containing 2 of my favorite Winter Jams, "Santa's Beard" & "Snowball In Hell"!)

I wish @JohnnyCash was still around for many reasons, one of which is so that he could cover "No One Wants A Pizza On XMAS Day" with the same gravitas he brought to Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt."
Not 100% certain what is happening in Texas politics right now, but the phrase "the spirit of Ratliff" has made an appearance in the @HoustonChron and I am taking it as a good omen
Pssst... the first 100 orders of The Spirit Of Ratliff limited edition LP will include a special bonus gift!

What is it, you ask? Sometime small and fun, that's what! Hopefully we will be able to show you pictures of it this week!

I'm not sure how many year-round always open XMAS stores there are in NYC, but to the best of my knowledge neither of these midtown Manhattan shops will be carrying The Spirit Of Ratliff LP in stock!

Pre-order link:

The Spirit Of Ratliff LP pre-orders are selling swiftly!

(The first 100 come with a special bonus gift-- TBA soon, but by the time we reveal what it is, they may be sold out! Act quickly!)
If you don't consider an Ecto-1 sighting in NYC moments after passing not one but TWO XMAS stores a holiday portent, then you obviously don't remember the one brief moment in that Ghostbusters 2 montage when it is XMAS.

Would love to get the # of followers for @GLucasTalkShow up to 1138 & somehow keep it at that number forever, even if it means randomly blocking people to maintain it. (Would that work? Or is there an easier way?)

Please help us reach 1138 in time for our next show on 1/11!
We broke 1000! 138 to go. Can we do this by 1/11?
OK, we are down to the final 89!

I really want to get @GLucasTalkShow to 1138 followers and keep it there forever.

I think we can do it!

R.I.P. Bob Einstein

This is probably my favorite scene in my favorite film of all time, Modern Romance. I remember the first time I saw it, realizing that it was Super Dave Osborne (whom I knew from his great deadpan talk show appearances) & later realizing he was AB's brother
Einstein had maybe the single best deadpan of any late night guest, better even than Grodin at his peak maybe! His bits were always great but my favorite parts were always when the audience would laugh and he would stop and glare at them, or at Dave.
It's just tremendous the way he times those reactions, feeding off Dave's timing and the energy of the audience...

Honestly, I think all the headlines about Holmes & Watson being the worst comedy of the year are going to end up making it a film that people discover later on & are pleasantly surprised that it isn't the worst movie they've ever seen. It is a C- comedy that is getting F- grades
I think all the articles about audiences walking out and it being so bad that even Netflix wouldn't save it give a false impression of it. I also think that critics are always angrier when a movie isn't screened (esp. if it means they all had to spend XMAS day watching it)
This is perhaps an uncool opinion but although the movie is a mixed bag and suffers in comparison to the previous to Ferrell/Reilly pairings, I don't get a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes feeling from this movie. (I guess it's up to 7% now, but still.)

Long ago, members of “the professions”—notably doctors & lawyers—made less money than businesspeople but were know for greater integrity & a commitment to something higher than profit. No longer.

Me on the sad professionals who sold out for Trump crumbs. latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Worth noting in case you’re thinking selling out looks good:

Drs Ronny Jackson & Harold Bornstein have devolved into addiction & mental illness. Cohen is headed to jail. Kasowitz, an alcoholic, has been fired.

Giuliani is Giuliani. He seems intrinsically unwell.
Is it worth it, JDs and MDs?

1/ In designing our Government, our founders did everything they could to prevent 1-Party control. 1-Party control of our Government is not compatible with our Constitution.

1/n: LENDING (business) IS NOT A FEATURE.

And yes, distribution of lending/credit products is a ‘feature’ in some platforms/products.

Lending (CREDIT) is a business with many complex moving parts.

#long #fintech #thread #lending
2/n: In fact “Lending (Credit) is older than money and FinTech.” (medium.com/@gaurav.sharma…)

There’re lot of tweets (within the FinTech community in India) about Whether 'lending is a feature' or not? So, let’s unpack that a bit..
3/n: True definition of Lender = Lending Money from own balance-sheet (i.e. skin in the game). The primary revenue here is Interest Income (Net Revenue from Funds), and margins computed basis NIM (Net Interest Margin) and COF (Cost of Funds).

Last week, the Pope spoke out about the death penalty as capital punishment. As far as popes go, this is not unusual.

But Pope Francis went further.

He changes the Church’s teaching on it. /thread

washingtonpost.com/world/pope-fra…
As far as the Roman Catholic Church goes, the death penalty was allowed “if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor.”

Basically: lives of the many outweigh the lives of the few, and save as many as you can.
