Some times a tweet thread is so damned good, I'm like "I'm gonna skip the normal 'check out his account' step, throw caution to the wind, and just immediately follow this guy ... because he's obviously a God damned genius."https://twitter.com/MuseZack/status/1495195259004850178 …

6/ Getting back to Riptide, there was a bit on homage to it in s1e7 of Boomtown https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomtown_(2002_TV_series) … , a really good but under-loved series. In the episode, Joe Penny (of Riptide fame) plays an actor who was in a 1980s TV show (like Riptide) but now manages a sports store.
