Jeez, I listen to a bunch of Gladys Knight & The Pips one year and now I'm the same age as my own father.

I don't make year-end best of lists anymore, mostly because I'm not hunting new shit down all day every day like I once did. I'm old. I'm tired. I'm over it. But I did like a few 2025 albums enough to buy physical copies. Here they are...

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Tarantino's list, huh. Surprisingly milquetoast considering all the great weirdo obscure movies he's banged the drum for over the years. But that's not my biggest concern. Taking mean-spirited potshots at working actors and directors—not as some rando, but as QUENTIN TARANTINO—is a dick move.

Ugh, had to pay import duties on a couple records from Germany ($11 on a $47 purchase). So I guess I won't be doing that anymore. Thanks, Trump!

Dear @tcmtv.bsky.social, are you in need of better social media people? Diane Ladd isn't celebrating birthdays anymore.

Smoked my last cigarette 7 years ago today.

I was probably never going to see either of the Wicked films, but maybe one day I'll be able to bury the hatchet and treat myself to Crazy Rich Asians. What hatchet? Jon Chu's Jem & The Holograms movie, that's what.

I once bought an apple pie from the grocery store bakery and there was a little bit of mold in my first bite and now, even if I see it coming directly out of the oven as fresh as can be, I'll never be able to eat it again.

This is a perfect opportunity to re-share this twitter thread I grabbed screenshots of in 2018.

A movie that takes place where you’re from

I recently reached my ten year anniversary at work, and instead of a cash bonus or gift card, I had to pick from a list of mostly useless junk to celebrate my service. Anyway, I have an air fryer now. What's good to make in an air fryer?

There was a time when I had a similar build to Monkees-era Mike Nesmith and I WASTED IT by not wearing a wool hat 24/7.

Trust, GA-14 will find a new freak to send to congress.

Trump doesn't believe in polling, except he does, and wants to align himself for five minutes with someone popular and hope it gets him out of the toilet. Mike Johnson already doesn't know anything about this meeting.

the greatness of a stone roses song sort of hinged on what mani was doing

Damn my curiosity. However bad you're assuming "Jailbait" is, multiply that by a thousand.

Every politician has flaws, y'all. For example, Kat is doing a livestream tonight with Fantano.

I love my cats and they will continue to bring me joy as long as they live, but...I do look forward to a time when I can buy nice furniture and rugs and not have weird smells emanating from unknown locations.

Glen Powell really does seem like what would happen if you typed "cool bro" into an AI. He's probably a real person with thoughts and feelings, but he gives me NOTHING.

What is the definitive pronunciation of Ghislaine? It sounds like everyone is winging it, but sticking to their own version in conversation with another two or three people who are also sticking to their own versions.

Dear Jeffrey,

👇 Far too many liberals have far too much faith in the law & think, "Oh, he's done for, now!" Um, no.

I’ve only seen a couple of the epstein emails and I need a silkwood shower. terrible day to know how to read.

I'll see this film eventually, but I'd happily live another dozen lifetimes without having to hear some 80s song recut into a dark, epic score piece in a trailer. Who fuckin started this shit and how soon can I bust their kneecaps

God-tier comment I just found on a Reddit thread about why THERE WILL BE BLOOD is still not available on 4k

Nothing happened 8 months ago, but maybe something will happen now? lol who am I kidding

I don't eat fast food with complete abandon like I once did, but I still fuck with Wendy's 2 or 3 times a month and I knew something was wrong when the good offers started disappearing from the app.

People smarter than me have already deciphered this was Schumer hammering out the details of which 8 senators would have their names attached to this. I believe people like Warren and Sanders and Van Hollen are truly angry, but until "no" voters organize and oust Schumer a pox on all their houses.

I do have health insurance through my employer—not great, tbh...it's more like catastrophe insurance—and had actually been browsing the marketplace for ACA plans that might be a better fit next year and beyond. What looked grim only looks worse now.

I've never been a significant financial supporter beyond a little to the presidential nominee every four years and a race here or there where I feel inspired by the candidate, but buddy...this wallet is CLOSED until further notice.

Congressional Repubs have divides from time to time, but they never last very long because they cycle fresh blood in and veteran blood out as a matter of business. Congressional Dems hold on to power long past the age normal people retire and get vindictive if you suggest they should step aside.

"When they go low, we go high" was a great applause line one night 9 years ago, but it ruined the Democratic Party for a generation (and counting).

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Remove Schumer from leadership immediately and replace him with an actual fighter who, among other things, will figure out how to remove the eight backstabbers from any committee appointments they may have.

Maybe, but when you look at the list of names reportedly orchestrating this fiasco, I'm 99.9% sure they're doing it out of self interest and a complete lack of spine.

Caving now means they literally did it for nothing and caused harm to people for nothing. Just absolute failure on every level.

Calling your own Democratic senator's and Chuck Schumer's voicemails isn't fun and sexy like putting on a frog costume or making a clever sign, but it's the only move we've got on the Sunday night a totally spineless caving on ACA subsidies is imminent.

How do so many democrats still not understand that the ACA *was* the compromise.

Just left polite but firm voicemails for Ossoff and Warnock. Will it matter? Who fuckin knows, but there is strength in numbers.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Nope, never touched it. I played around with Udio trying to make little AI songs a couple times, but got bored.

I'm not so into music crit that I know every single writer's whole history, but Chris Willman is a name I recognize and he has been doing this for long enough to not just completely whiff it like this. wtf is happening?
