It would be funny if it were not so depressing the degree to which you can fail upward in the country by flattering the old vampires but also Bari Weiss thinking she’s qualified for anything is a real great “why not us?” morning motivator if you want one

RIP Robert Duvall. I’m not much of an acting nerd but i always really admired the non-method approach he took to finding something within his authentic self that was closest to whatever he had to play. Acting as an exercise in listening, being present, and never reaching outside of your real self

Nothing that (supposedly, allegedly) KD said in those group chats is as funny as the concept of KD being in the kind of toxic Twitter group chat. We know he’s on his phone but that specific kind of mean phone guy is too funny

Any time I hear Roundball Rock now it is impossible to not add the lyrics from this sketch youtu.be/r-uSWAJd9GE?...

It really is so funny (read: depressing) that every time a podcast pivots to video all of a sudden you’ll see posts on the podcast’s subreddit like “is something different about this podcast? [woman] is so annoying now”

People who run dance music labels: I am literally begging you to figure out how to do metadata correctly. Do not make me change each track from "Various Artists" one by one, please

Since FFS my self-image has shifted so dramatically that all of a sudden it’s like my brain remembered that we exist thus romance / sex / being perceived is back on the menu. The problem? My yearning switch got flipped back on JUST in time to feel weird about Valentine’s Day again 😭

I constantly think about the fact that non-liberal arts students at Michigan were not required to take any humanities and how some of them resented having to study anything besides math & science — and the consequences of having our modern world built by people who never took an ethics class

People often used to ask me why the hell i subject myself to listening to Bill Simmons — which is fair, I have a mental illness for sure — but it all pays off with stuff like the reveal that he drove Kon Kneuppel 30 minutes home because “didn’t want to put him in a uber”

This is what it is in LA. We still have between 1-2 dozen kidnapping attempts a day across the county, every single day. It's just a resonant low-din hum of cruelty. The content factory is gone but the underlying fear remains.

I was close

Blind bought the new No Bias comp and it was somehow even BETTER than I thought it would be. Can't recommend enough if you like having fun, shaking ass, things of that nature. nobias.bandcamp.com/album/bay-ar...

This is how Phoebe communicates “yes you idiot, I want scratchies.”

How i feel about Kreayshawn is how I imagine British people must have felt about Princess Diana before she died

Nirvanna the Band The Show The Movie Wolf Gang Kill Them All

I do think one of the most genius things about the halftime show was how it Jedi mind tricked MAGA into doubling down on their identity as hoe-less, no-fun scolds. Plenty of them took the bait but lots of others watched that halftime show like “wait,,, why are we supposed to hate this again?”

Count me as pro the Fincher digital look in the Cliff Booth trailer / excited by the trailer in general. I think the darkness really helps emphasize the 1977 time jump and how whatever last whiffs of 60s vibes present in the first movie are now completely fucked

Very annoyed at the people who decided to open the floodgates to online sports betting, it is absolutely a scourge. Great piece from Gabrielle Gurley on people spending hours a day on these predatory apps.

Still thinking about Lady Gaga and Jigglypuff. That was my miss piggy and Sabrina Carpenter

💅💅💅

Always gonna have a soft spot for my guy Mudkip, my first ever starter Pokémon at 4 years old

honestly respect for the ad that’s just like “pokemon are cool.” they are cool

Your move, “Lanita”

The girl with the skunk hair dye also has tooth gems — she’s the first ever Oklou Olympian

That interview with the awful AI romance novel grifter has me thinking about this Baudrillard passage i quoted in my Perverts essay and how AI is the ultimate escalation of the desert of the real

Finally, some good fucking food!!!!!

Unfortunately I'm running a bit late on my actual music writing that I promised I was working on... (Still OTW) but I DID update this playlist of my favorite 2025 dance / electronic music if you're looking for bandcamp friday recommendations www.buymusic.club/list/horseje...

How it feels to hit play on new Kavari music

I know this website is starting to re-approximate the full experience of old Twitter because we’ve started to get on the “every 2 weeks braindead discourse about the exact same topic” carousel

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

The only friend i made in college purely from being in a class was a law and philosophy course where me and this girl I had barely met kept doing a Jim from the office stare at each other in solidarity like “can you believe this bitch?” re: the jd Vance of that class. We’re still friends!

We still don’t know what Paul George got suspended for — he’s cited trying to take care of his mental health so maybe it’s ketamine therapy or something — but I’ve landed on the funniest possible answer on the board:

NBA trades are such bullshit. yeah we uh we'll trade you uh 5 protected first round picks for this role player. you won't be able to make any of them until barron trump is president. i will be dead when you make these picks. also we get PJ tucker as part of it for some reason

I’m so jealous football fans get a skippable weekday fake all star game. Basketball fans get strapped into the clockwork orange machine all weekend long and are forced to stare directly at 72 uninterrupted hours of kevin hart

Got sucked into watching Nope on TV (pun not intended) and yeah this shit honks. Probably peele’s best

james harden every couple years

It’s rough having really dour taste in movies because i look over at my tiny little dvd / blu shelf and it’s pretty exclusively emotional self-harm hours

Still stuck in the medieval times (listening to this song)

Chad Hugo stuff aside, Pharrell’s whole fake humble routine rings hollow when you made like 4 movies and documentaries about yourself. There were so many self produced hagiographies that one of them was entirely Lego and another was shot and never came out

Performing a d’Angelo tribute with a shirt is on is like letting the flag touch the ground. You gotta get the abs out

It just hit me that Justin Bieber inviting lil b to pop up on his album called Swag was like a land acknowledgement for the word swag

I’m watching on tape delayed so don’t spoil me but i love Kendrick’s accountant glasses

Gesaffelstein committing to the sexy black C-3PO with a human face thing is fine but the music better not suck or else I’m gonna start to get annoyed. (Novo Sonic System innocent)

Truly cannot stop listening to this. Song of the year, song of the summer, etc. rory2.bandcamp.com/track/mideva...

Beatmatching is just doing the “are you rushing or dragging?” whiplash scene but it’s just you yelling at yourself
