I am required by law to make a Vanity 6 joke about Western Washington - "I need 7 inches (of rain) or more".

Bryan Fuller knows we gotta make art for kids that actually trusts the kids

Is Ella McKay being foisted on the general population or is it just targeting us Olds? All of a sudden everything was just screaming at me about it.

A gentle reminder from the parental frontlines that Cookie Monster is a foodie now. He owns and operates a food truck with Gonger. How much longer until he has his own gastropub. My god.

My hero of 2025

You know what is the opposite of all this garbage landscape? Your local community radio station.

This is literally what Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind was about btw

305!!!!!!!!!

Someone posted this on Facebook and I have genuine questions. "I’m looking for recommendations on a place to get good food and drinks with a chill cool millennial vibe and bonus if there is live music" What is a chill cool millennial vibe? Seriously what does it mean.

People keep asking if the gay hockey show is good or bad but it is simply too horny for either of those words to apply

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

I've been through the desert On a

Well I wiped more than one butt today. A human and a chicken.

also if you dont work in tech in seattle, you absolutely hate and mistrust everything about Big Tech bc Big Tech fucking decimated our city in under a decade

I have discounted the price of some of my stuff, including my album A CITY OF LADIES today only. I hope you have gotten a chance to hear it! If there is one song I recommend in particular, it is "If We Don't Burn How Will the Night Be Lit?" domenicadiavoleria.bandcamp.com/album/a-city...

I guess I should be real with readers and say I am struggling with depression again. Also finding out I have endometriosis (very likely) and our other beloved hen is dying. Sad face sad face.

Off the cuff sort of half baked assessment but: Is the 2020s the "vibes" era.

This is a good example of why I am wary of this film even though I love seeing the PNW in movies pretty much always.

IN THIS HOUSE, we know how to party.

“My plagiarism machine broke so now I have to google how to wipe my ass.”

I haven’t seen any of the Avatar movies but I still hope that in the new one the humans finally manage to kill those awful blue monsters

It doesn’t help that the last roots/Americana revival was the confluence of Stomp Clap Hey!, unironic Don Draper hairdos and the 2010s tech boom/gentrification that is punishing us currently for their collective mid-life crises.

Every retailer that's like, "Surprise! Cyber Monday sale EXTENDED!" is like every musical act that pretends to end a show with "Good night, we love you!", exits the stage, and then waits one minute for the obligatory call for an "Encore" before sauntering back on stage to play their biggest hit

I find myself making up my mind on whether to see movies decisively now. Maybe it is just aging and realizing I have limited free time. But I went from being interested in Train Dreams to reading enough reviews (Letterboxd and otherwise) to being like "ehhhh maybe not".

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I can not even begin to explain the depths of drama going on with the bar trivia teams I was deeply involved with at the moment. It is truly Behind the Music level.

Still thinking if the random Letterboxd user guy who used a review of DIE MY LOVE to just rant against children and breeders.

I digitized a chunk of a broadcast from my favorite KAOS show when I was a teenager. Here is a portion of live Olympia community radio from 2001. www.mixcloud.com/diavoleriaso...

Despite my love of the Pink Dots and interest in Current 93 at the time, I never once played Death in June or NON.

Me playing Cocorosie on a show in 2005.

I could digitize some of these 2003-2006 radio shows, but I truly do not know who wants to hear that. I don't even know if I do.

Make up your mind dude

how many times has the Seattle Times run a "compassion is great, but" editorial arguing for a lack of compassion at this point? we get it, you think homelessness should be illegal, find literally anything else to talk about. (Also, no Seattle neighborhood has been "destroyed," good god.)

My favorite part of the Florida radio scan tape is that it confirms Italo Disco was alive and well on south Florida radio even in the mid 90s.

Re-posting because this transfer of a tape I made when I was 12 is sick. A game could be made of identifying all the tracks. I know I don't know what they all are.

Now available - my South Florida radio collage made when I was 12, from 1995. I can identify MOST of the songs here, but not all. Appearances from Freestyle, Miami Bass, radio preachers, Coolio, Italo and more. domenicadiavoleria.bandcamp.com/track/south-...

"Men, is it gay to be born? To struggle with the meaning of existence? To live with the uncertainty and frailty that comes with being alive? Is it gay to not know the future? Is it gay to need the reassurance of loved ones and to be reminded that we share our finitude with all other life forms?"

I had a great time with Steven (PSYCHO GOREMAN) Kostanski's reimagining of DEATHSTALKER, an absurdly awesome practical effects fantasia and excellent starring vehicle for Daniel Bernhardt (seen here with swamp monster friend).

Black Country New Road = pretty terrible. I don't think it is just me being an Old.

My UK visa application: in-progress. I had to stop at the part where they asked for the NHS healthcare payment though. $4000! It is going to take a minute before we can pay it.

I think the intent behind Little Free Libraries is a bit like a lot of Buy Nothing groups from the middle-class people. "Here is some of my leftover stuff that no one else wants I am being so generous in sharing my crap!"

Super fun to watch Councilmembers try to articulate why a Little Free Library is just neighborly kindness, the sort of thing every suburban homeowner would welcome on their street, but something like a free food fridge is absolutely different and needs to go before the zoning board.

I don't pretend to understand the pop landscape at the moment entirely, but it seems like we are all caught in a Gravelly Voice Christian Hozier rip-off guy moment?

carville: time to win by sacrificing the minorities the judgment of history: time to win by sacrificing carville

What makes the passing of actors like Udo Kier extra poignant is that he was a reminder of a career film industries across countries and on multiple levels no longer exist to support. The vagabond weirdo who can show up in Criterion Collection darlings and DTV sequels, and be the best part of both.
