the reason AI may actually take over the world is because we are absolute suckers, especially for anything that makes life seem easier than it actually is

these Border Patrol chodes are back

not a big rewatcher of films, too many out there to get thru, but i literally cannot count the number of times I have seen Spinal Tap

He is an alligator. Good at keeping his head barely above water, surviving in general, taking a big bite out of anything that floats within a foot or two of his mouth. That is his complete skill set

Why is this tiny gesture so funny

sorta stopped reading music bios years ago but i will read this one

Today, many dead and injured at Brown University. Tomorrow, the 13th anniversary of Sandy Hook. Garry Wills wrote "Our Moloch" three days after 20 kids and six adults were slaughtered in Newtown, and it's unfortunately no less relevant today than it was then. Free account to read it

Dying is meaningful

Kinski’s “Stumbledown Terrace” (43rd) and Mint Mile’s “andwhichstray” (9th) both make strong showings on @rosyoverdrive.com's Top 100 Albums of 2025. rosyoverdrive.com/2025/12/09/r... rosyoverdrive.com/2025/12/09/r...

If i could go back in time and see one musical performance, i might pick Just Ducky ruining a prom in Hot Springs MT over Hendrix at Cafe Wha

thank you Rosy O for the Mint Mile mention

so close to getting it...now imagine if you will that we were all already members, "citizens" or "residents" perhaps, of a group together

They're calling it a Christmas miracle bsky.app/profile/timm...

learned the word "scromiting" today

Dunno about "hate," but I would be deeply skeptical of anyone who didn't like the OG Willy Wonka or the greatest film ever made, Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Don't have spotify but here's some album releases I liked this year 🧵 Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory sharonvanetten.bandcamp.com/album/sharon... Promise Mascot Agency Soundtrack kaizengameworks.bandcamp.com/album/promis... andwhichstray - Mint Mile mintmile.bandcamp.com/album/andwhi...

Silkworm announce 2026 Northeast / Midwest tour dates with Come, The Gotobeds, more www.brooklynvegan.com/silkworm-ann...

forest for the trees my exceptionally mid man--you do not under any circumstances "have to hand it to" a guy who just yesterday called an entire diaspora "garbage"

Probably oughta drop the spotify for a slightly less evil platform but here is my wrapped for the year

Tix up NOW for Silkworm Midwest/E.Coast jawn May 2026. Playing with some swell bands incl (4) shows with the wonderful and frightening COME. Hit it or quit it

"First and foremost, it’s a terrifying thing to articulate: if your government is breaking the law, what do laws mean? Can any be relied upon once some are breached? How do you tell the difference between living in such a society and hiding in it?"

If you click on this, you'll get a great recap of the genesis of "Can't Be the First One," an unreleased Molina song on my band Mint Mile's new LP, andwhichstray. Plus a buncha pix of our time recording the record with my beloved pal Steve Albini in the south of France. Thanks Erin (Osmon)

Review maybe a little better than the record and the record rocks LOVE YOU TOO AK

THANKS always on behalf of Mint Mile Inc.

why i make the big bucks

Requiescat Jimmy Cliff, one of the giants of the greatest music scene of all time. Buckets of deep music in him

dark period in our city's recent history that will be remembered as such once it's really over. we have pushed back smartly far as that goes. every ICE mercenary, every CBP dickwad going along with this wears it 1,000,000%. you should all be shamed and ashamed for the rest of your crappy lives

Hey I'll be on the internet typing tonite about my band Mint Mile's new LP andwhichstray. Everyone will listen to the rec together and type back at me with probing q's. This record was the next-to-last thing our beloved Steve Albini recorded (hi FACS), and I like it very much xo tm

Fuckin rocking out

Mamdani is some kind of freaking sorcerer. Just A+++ political instincts

Order some of this if you are cooking a turkey, do it now, you will thank me

Stupendous journalism by a consortium of independent newsrooms (incl @blockclubchi.bsky.social @southsideweekly.bsky.social @thetriibe.com) chronicling nearly 50 times federal agents wantonly gassed people—mostly protestors—across Chicagoland, & the harm it causes southsideweekly.com/feds-tear-ga...

Silkworm today. Fucking amazing

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Cities of the Red Night, which turned out to be prophecy and validates the premise...really the entirety...of WSB's somewhat impenetrable cut-up phase. So weird to realize now it was written in relatively close proximity to when I first read it. Seems ancient and utterly futuristic at the same time

Finally I have one thing in common with our big boy--while on tour and in sleep-deprived confusion, I thought the Mag Mile was called the "Miracle Mile" just long enough to come up with the chorus for a song. Real name doesn't scan well, kept the misnomer, rest is "history." Shopping center tho wtf

As a kid, I went to every Montana Grizzlies men's b-ball home game. Saw Micheal Ray play a few dozen times as a result. Spectacular. Translated to the NBA perfectly, as far as it went. My bro and I met him once. He was a god to us, now a vivid memory from a time in life w/o many of them. REQUIESCAT
