This has a February 3rd dateline on it, but I did not see it on the NYT website until today.

Tuesday, February 9th, 2016And so we come to the end of Gregg Easterbrook’s first season writing TMQ for the New York Times. What does he have in store for us this week? Would you believe neuroscience and the evils of the NFL? Well, yes, you probably would believe that.
After the jump, this week’s ultimate TMQ…
Quick Superb Owl reaction.
Monday, February 8th, 2016TMQ is going to be particularly insufferable this week.
Obit watch: February 6, 2016.
Saturday, February 6th, 2016I thought I’d do this one separately, since it didn’t fit in tone with the previous entry:
Edgar D. Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut and the sixth man to walk on the moon.

Saturday, February 6th, 2016Good news, everyone! Our long national nightmare is just beginning!
“Cop Rock” is coming out on DVD.
I never saw an episode of “Cop Rock”, but I am assured it is horrible: therefore, I have to get the DVDs.
I went back and forth about noting this obit yesterday, but in the end, this paragraph pushed me over the edge:
“Girl Gun Runners of Saigon”, one of the greatest titles ever. Right up there with “Weasels Ripped My Flesh” and “Coffin’s Got the Dead Guy On the Inside”.

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016How did TMQ spend the most boring week in sports? Let’s find out. This week’s TMQ, after the jump…
Obit watch: special all UKOGBNI edition.
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016Gordon Goody, one of the Great Train Robbers.
While Mr. Goody was always considered one of the masterminds of the plot, he resented the fact that Mr. Reynolds was most often identified as the gang’s chief architect. (Mr. Reynolds died in 2013.)
“I do take exception to being referred to, as I have been from time to time, as Bruce’s number two,” Mr. Goody wrote. “I wasn’t number two to anybody.”
Richard John Bingham, the seventh Earl of Lucan, also known as Lord Lucan.
Okay, so, technically, he’s been dead since 1999, but this time he’s really most sincerely dead.
