Guns N Roses and it isn’t even close. 1992, Foxboro Stadium, the tour with Metallica. A trainwreck of a set, members sounded like they were in different bands. I would have skipped out a few songs in if I could have.

one of the great pleasures of reading old comic and zine letter columns is finding notes like this from people who later became titans in the field

woke up to find papers like this scattered around the kitchen

Gene Wolfe mentioned

Got some good stuff from the library. This is how I learned that poison ivy is related to cashews. Same family! (And cashew shells will irritate the skin in the same way poison ivy does.)

Thing about this song from FRANK is that it's one of the great movie scenes. This movie has so many perceptive moments when it comes to depicting the creative drive and the almost intangible ability to communicate musically with like-minded people. It's so beautiful, this scene kills me.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap. youtu.be/A_2HaVGvXdg?...

this is blue collar body horror, don't ask me to explain

Vision Creation Newsun and Super AE are energetic as hell but also gloriously hypnotic, true beauty in sound.

When nobody visits the web anymore, what incentive is there for people to populate it with information? That means AI search will be retrieving information from deteriorating, out-of-date sources and feeding it endlessly back to us. And that means even fewer people will populate the web. (2/3)

I know one of the moms reported missing guns to San Diego cops, but I find it impossible to believe that these two kids were secretly Nazis. What did the parents know, when did they know it, why were guns available to these kids?

Elon musk retweeted the “shooters were trans” lies on his personal account of over 200 million followers

lol Gmail search is already dogshit so they’re doing this instead of fixing it? dying company vibes

My legal deals immunizing me from investigation and prosecution are raising a lot of questions already answered by my legal deals.

Anyway, this Google news would previously have meant weeks of sleepless nights. But now I teach classes to lawyers and do gardening for nice people who appreciate my work. Godspeed y’all.

For nearly 20 years, every digital publisher of any size was turned into a junkie on the corner. Bow to the whims of Google, worry about “the new algo update,” passively accept the destruction of ad revenue. And it all led to this.

So much tech is rancid now. But it's pretty amazing that, when subtitles are lazy, I can screenshot a handwritten note in German, select the text, and paste it into Google translate.

Explained payphones to my kid. He said he's glad he lives in an era with cell phones, "because it would be humiliating to have to have to find a quarter to call someone." Entire generations owned by a six-year old.

the Ford Pinto is drawn to other things that explode, like a salmon running upstream

call him

a true rest in piss moment

oh hell yeah @criterion.bsky.social, I have been saddened by this movie's persistent lack of upgrade, what a delight www.criterion.com/films/647-co...

pls stop rounding the DOJ's slush fund up to $1.8b because the actual figure is $1.776b, which is so much more infuriating. every time this is discussed, people need to be reminded that it is a shitpost

listening to this a lot today www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpTK...

“We were told that Tina was the reason we couldn’t get water.” Holding back funds for clean water for citizens as an act of political extortion. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My version of this is why is the bear from Rock-afire Explosion being wheeled out on a gurney in TRICK OR TREAT (1986)

it wasn't the moment Russ stepped inside. it was AFTER making him watch women's soccer and THEN Kirsten Dunst movie mania. the brand remains intact. next KC Current game will line up perfectly with Melancholia / Drop Dead Gorgeous / a few eps of How To Be A God.

Happy to have a friend like @brockwilbur.bsky.social who, after 2 years of texting me “so have you watched CIVIL WAR yet” sat me down to watch CIVIL WAR the moment I stepped foot in his house for the first time in months.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

A recent revisit made me realize that the last third of THUNDERDOME plays like a rough draft for FURY ROAD. Love that Miller kinda reclaimed and redrafted a movie that was very difficult for him to make back then.

Plotsy is hiring a AI film director

i think that babies should have to file tax returns under penalty of law. hear more on my daily video series And I Can’t Even! that costs $8,000 to produce per episode and that people have only ever seen by accident

Hey guess what it is not mentioned in this CBS News coverage *at all* www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/mik...

Matthew Mcconaughey “I get older, they stay the same age” line except it’s women talking about men’s emotional maturity.

he looks like a J6er

this is fucking stupid

[replacing carburetor on my push mower] Amazon: knockoff carb with all gaskets, an extra spark plug and a coupon for a free donut: $25 delivered OEM parts site: useless without part number from service manual, doesn't bundle items like gaskets or suggest what I might need, shipping alone is $32

I've worked with Tasha for over 25 years. "Diligent deep-dive editor or writer" is an excellent description. Extremely fastidious and passionate about her work, and one of my favorite people. Very much worth snapping up.

Please, if you can help this amazing person with cash: do it. If you can't, please share the link. Thank you! ❣️ #horror #MutantFam

im gonna need you to Wake Up

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

fellas, I found the best guy to score our movie

remember, anyone can do this howidfixatlanta.com/2022/09/aust...

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook
