Velvet underground is a big important band @funko.bsky.social I think they need to be acknowledged at least John Cale viola playing beautiful (has new cd with Charlie XXX soon)

Trevor Bauer served up a 594 foot home run today and has the highest ERA in the NPB. That home run is the longest in recorded history, here it is

the number of sexual assault victims that have had no choice but to back off when told in no uncertain terms their attacker has a right to know and face their accuser and these jackboot government goons get to stay in the shadows?

If you haven't used Duckduckgo (or haven't used it in a while) why not give it a shot (or another one)? I'm not sure what extent I'd attribute it Google getting worse or DDG getting better but... it's better!

Just enough to make the mosquitoes happy

Lately, the spammy fake wrong number texts I get have been getting weirder. Same for anyone else?

Watching as many foreign films as I can before the tariffs kick in

I want to be the man who sits cross legged on a restaurant seat. A mysterious, generous, wise spirit snacking on chicken liver toast

All of this reporting on government officials who can't figure out signal or venmo or whatever is great, but it also feels deeply indebted to the work @ashleyfeinberg.bsky.social, the GOAT

Inventing new ways to pollute the universe every day

Some say the Oscars are Hollywood’s big night, and you know what? I happen to agree

Wong Kar Wai is BACK… with a new tale of a venerable but aging French museum… where a bold new curator reinvents what a museum can be by offering day spa services… The title? In The Louvre For Mud

Some actors at the Emmys were afraid to approach Tramell Tilman after seeing his performance as Mr. Milchick in the hit series 'Severance." He tells us about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=arF-...

More like gray sky

I just got a press release for "The Monkey," which is the next movie from the Longlegs guy. Look, there's a lot to process, but I'll just say that I, too, am very surprised to learn that if you feature certain scenes from a horror movie in a trailer, networks might have issues running your trailer

Corporate was a really good TV show, I miss that one

I think what's especially sad about the Eaton fire is that so many of the people I knew in Altadena were first time homeowners who hadn't even been in their house a decade. One family I knew hadn't even been there a year. I don't know how you rebuild from that.

How does an actor nail the perfect accent? Jude Law shares insights into how he’s able to pull it off. https://buff.ly/40noWa0

Pita chip… now there’s a chip

I love Kenneth the Page: "There's a reason God gave us two ears and only one mouth. Listening is twice as important as talking. But he gave us ten fingers. He must really want us to poke things!"

Big Yellow Taxi: a great song That laugh Joni does at the end of Big Yellow Taxi: so forced sounding! ...put up a parking lot... ha HA ha HA HAHH!

It is January 2nd, 2025 and I am begging my fellow Angelenos: Please, please, please pick the fruit off your citrus tree. Please! Do something with it

MF/LPT (MaxFun Life Pro Tip), courtesy of @kevinferguson.bsky.social by way of @jennifermarmor.bsky.social: If you go out at lunch to buy stuff for dinner and stash it in the work fridge, put your keys in there too so you won't forget to take it home

Did anyone else think it was weird how, in "A Complete Unknown," Nina Simone visits a young Bob Dylan in his hometown? And especially weird when she started singing "Zimmmerman, where you gonna run too?"

I wanna watch Mulholland Drive again I think

some grapes for the table, @joshgondelman.bsky.social

The holidays are in full swing and we've got a special treat in store for you! 🎁🎄❄️ Mark your calendars and set your reminders, because the Bullseye holiday special drops tomorrow! 🎯

My 1.5 year old calls crunchy cat food “kitty cheerios” just thought I’d share

Anyone find it odd that GNX wasn't included in Pitchfork's 50 best of 2024? I know it was released late in November, but number 48 was released the same day as Kendrick's

I have made a resolution to use the word "gizmo" more. It's so fun and whimsical as in "make sure to store your recipes on your iPad or some other gizmo"

Happy Hanksgiving this week to all who celebrate

It’s lift off for our Bluesky account! Welcome aboard. #WorldBollardAssociation🚀

There is no better way for a food writer to show their ass than claiming some restaurant is "the first" at making something. Like, it's almost always wrong. And even when it isn't: the fact that the dish is the first of its kind always takes a back seat to whether or not it tastes good.

Which Movies are YOU thankful for?

Let's go

Customer: JUST LAZY. MY CAT IS LAZY. DMV: CAT Verdict: ACCEPTED

When I get a follow from an old twitter mutual

It’s nice to have actual followers on a platform like this (thank you everybody thank you thank you) but I’ve been out of the “posting and replying” game for so long now I’m at a loss at what to say. Will the Posting Juice return

Have you dined with us before? Ok, great. So, we do things totally the same here. Our food is normal and it comes on plates.

If Bogie was still alive today, I have no doubt that Humphrey Bogart would say "Congrulations to the V.F.A. that recently was named the world's leading resource for Movie Expertise."

Welcome to all my new followers please join me in asking @funko.bsky.social to make Velvet Underground pop in 2024 or 2025…

Feeling pretty numb today. Not much I can say besides the obvious: check in with friends and family, let them know you love them.
