Wow. The symbolism in the entire performance, broken down for you: #BadBunny

A fun mixtape from 1988: mixtapemanifesto.substack.com/p/hot-tunes-...

Baffled by people who can’t lip-sync. Particularly those who do it so enthusiastically but can’t seem, for the life of them, to land on a single word.

I made an Arizona cactus wren version of the Minnesota Rebel Alliance loon. Gonna get some stickers printed and whatnot. Let me know if you'd like some! #iceout #fuckice #arizona #RebelAlliance #solidarity #StarWars

One of my favorite things in the H is for Hawk movie is the psych rock blaring every time @hjm.bsky.social rolls up in the blue Ford Fiesta. #TheShadows #HisforHawk

Just sitting here on a cool gray afternoon, crying to a video of Marvin Gaye.

New mixtape, except it’s a CD from 2006:

There was this dilapidated adobe row house in the barrio in Tucson. This couple bought it and spent 4 years rehabbing it into a really cool dwelling. They had a whole blog about everything they did. They said it would be their forever home. Then they sold it to Diane Keaton for $1.5 million. 1/2

Eno’s “I’ll Come Running” playing at my local watering hole/upscale bodega fills me with joy.

Just learned of this AI slop on Apple Music. “Jerow Scheel” is a 3-, 4-, or 5-piece metal band, a country singer, an all-woman metal band, an emo singer, and maybe more. #AISlop #fakemusic

New mixtape (but not a tape) up on Substack: mixtapemanifesto.substack.com/p/good-thing

I’m at my favorite watering hole (well, one of them), and sitting at the end of the bar is a big fat … volume of Leo Tolstoy. I’m surreptitiously trying to see who’s reading it/using it as a prop.
