Where is the Holiday Creamy Vanilla Coke?

One of my favorite reads. Pairs great with Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore if you're looking to get real existential.

Back on the old site, I was a mutual follow with Mark Knoller and we had an occasional back-and-forth. I was always awed by his encyclopedic knowledge of the White House, and I'm glad I wasn't alone. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/b...

The latest Try Hard hit me like a ton of bricks with this quote: "Perfection impresses people, and imperfection is what drives connection." @alexlaughs.bsky.social doesn't miss! pca.st/aimdilw1

Loved the recent Articles of Interest, but a little disappointed that @trufelman.bsky.social didn't work in the Outkast lyric from So Fresh, So Clean. (Is this the whitest thing I've ever posted? Probably.) articlesofinterest.substack.com/p/new-episod...

I'm not sure when I became a fan of @alexlaughs.bsky.social (It's kind of an odd thing to be an early fan of a podcast producer, right?), BUT Alex's new show "Try Hard" freaking ROCKS. defector.com/mattie-goes-...

I will always regret not seeing Gaga in a tiny SF club in 2008 because I misunderstood what the promoter had typed in a text message.

You’ve inherited a movie theater. What’s your first double feature?

Check out 6:30ish for a special appearance by *this guy* in a Ford Bronco t-shirt.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

Between @colbertlateshow.bsky.social, @npr.org and @pbs.org, we're inching ever closer to a country without free media. My small protest today:

There are plenty of covers of Broken Social Scene's "Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl," but this one by Maggie Rogers and Sylvan Esso may be the best: open.spotify.com/album/6o9ALc...

My bad.

Doesn’t help anything, but I called this a decade ago. Looks more real every day.

We said goodbye to our beloved Audrey this morning. A decade, almost to the day, since we adopted her. Hug your pets, friends. bendashley.substack.com/p/for-audrey

#Severance, devoid of context:

Honest-to-God thought this was real, and I wasn't that surprised.

Heard Tate McRae on the radio this morning and decided that my favorite Tate McRae song is

Hulu ruining the Oscars is really poetic coming after Sean Baker’s speech about streaming services killing the movies

hulu collapsing during the oscars is a collision of both ways streaming broke communal entertainment sean baker gives speech about how streaming has disrupted film as a communal experience (physical space) meanwhile, hulu stops working and breaks the tv communal space (simultaneous experience)

lol at Hulu turning off the #Oscars feed.

Happy Twin Peaks Day

Bye, Mitch.

Omg. Omg. Omg.

Southwest, be better. This is disgusting.

What in the ever-loving HELL. Literal HELL.

At this point, I believe I might be less worried about the state of the world if the lead made me a little bit dumber. Bring it on.

I never understood this scene until I had a kid. Absolute heartbreaker.

i need a 52 year old man with $800 billion to impregnate my wife . i am worried our offspring wont be sufficiently feeble and/or annoying

Gold Griot, 1984

Third grade Ben.

trans people are WHY that monument exists in the first place! absolutely disgusting revisionist history they’re trying here

And here I thought I was reading a history book.

Cool. Guess I’m just gonna be depressed then.

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

Fuming. Acknowledging immigrants as human beings who are entitled at least to bare bones protections is not "politics"

One hell of a story to read on the anniversary of my stepmom's passing. Paddington is the best companion.

Twin Peaks: Cooper sampling the RR Diner coffee.

Every news story I’ve read on here in the past 10 minutes has made me more and more anxious. But this made me smile.

Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize

Read the room, T-Mobile.

Been looking for a reason to switch from @tmobilesupport.bsky.social since a terrible experience last time I switched phones. The Starlink partnership means that’s happening ASAP. #tmobile #SuperBowl

You might say that I’m young You might say I’m unlearned But there’s one thing I know Though I’m younger than you That even Jesus would never Forgive what you do
