David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

I have a neighbor who likes to practice their instruments very loudly in their yard on the weekends. Some days it's a trombone, other days it's a trumpet. Today it's a trumpet. tbh I prefer the trombone, I think.

I've had to shrug and politely say "I'll watch it someday" whenever people bring up The Wire. I don't know if I'll ever watch it someday.

AI actress Tilly Norwood has tragically passed away while filming her first movie with director A Hologram of John Landis

Georgia for Ruwa Romman! @ruwaromman.bsky.social

For the 36th year in a row, they didn't ask Fugazi.

Remember when Eric Cantor, who was the House Majority Leader at the time, was caught off guard and primaried out of his job in 2014? Let's do that again, but to Hakeem Jeffries.

my husband @kalebhorton.bsky.social hated the phrase “passed away” and had nothing but scorn for softening euphemisms in general. he was a firm believer in the comedy rule of threes, but only if the third thing can hit as a surprise. and he just died

Don't worry. If he throws hit hat in the ring, Democratic strategists will sand him down into a smooth and forgettable center-left policy blob.

I was just listening to 'Black Messiah' for the first time in a while and it's truly wild that D'Angelo has released 3 albums in 30 years and he continually stays in the conversation.

One of one. R.I.P.

Everybody is irrelevant on Bluesky that's the beauty of it

These pundits have the object permanence of a 6-month old and the historical memory of a mayfly. I don’t understand why people listen to them.

Keith (JD Twitch) was kind enough to critique my stuff when I began fucking around with Fruity Loops in the early 2000s. He found the most polite ways to say "this sucks" without actually saying those words. RIP stirmonster

Rest in peace to one of the kindest, and funniest, and best humans I've ever had the good luck to meet and know. Keith was an absolute gem, just an absolutely open and open-minded person with a huge heart.

It grieves me beyond words to share the sad news that, after some months of suffering from glioblastoma, #JDTwitch of @optimo-espacio.bsky.social has passed. His #Optimo partner JD Wilkes has posted this message on their Instagram account.

Either Les Misérables or Phantom of the Opera (or praise music, ugh).

Insisting people put their names and emails on a list before participating in an anti-fascism protest is possibly the dumbest hill to die on I've ever seen.

Do not allow journos to retcon history like this. Olivia Nuzzi was fired because her fiance Ryan Lizza and her former employer New York Magazine found out she was sexting presidential candidate RFK Jr while she was reporting on the incumbent president Joe Biden's reelection campaign.

Fuck yeah, Dan was the meteorologist for my hometown's CBS affiliate for two decades before moving on. He absolutely knows the ins and outs of small-to-midsize media markets.

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

Nobody went after comedy this hard when THE QUEEN died. Charlie Kirk was just some fuckin guy.

Jimmy Fallon stop being a pussy and get thrown in jail challenge

Watching an English lady on youtube attempt to make American biscuits and gravy with a moderate amount of judgement, despite the fact I've never personally attempted biscuits and gravy from scratch in my entire life.

A few people have posted about the difficult-to-source Redford film The Hot Rock, but while you're looking for that one maybe see if you can find The Electric Horseman as well. I didn't realize how much I liked it while watching, but it hung around in my mind for a very long time afterwards.

This remains my favorite Twilight Zone ep. Oddly enough helped me process the loss of a relative when I was a kid. I had “what you thought would go out like an explosion is like a whisper" written on my bedroom wall for a long time. I hope this ep still helps people process.

Redford's life was long, as was his career, which began on Broadway and in NY-based TV 65 years ago. But when I woke up to the news of his loss, I gasped. It felt like a face had fallen from Mount Rushmore--although if anyone had tried to carve him into a mountainside, he'd have led the protest.

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

I don’t think we’ll ever see another movie star like Robert Redford. Think of almost any kind of movie (buddy movie, spy thriller, political drama, heist, romantic comedy, frontier western, etc.) and there’s a Redford film that’s the ultimate exemplar of the genre. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

Damn.

"Famous" is probably the wrong term in my situation, but a fella in my graduating class was the Offensive Coordinator at Auburn for a minute, then a disappointing Head Coach at Troy, and is currently in the OC role again at the University of Michigan.

Patreon may never understand that people don't use their service to find new creators to support. They find creators in other places and support them through Patreon. Now 90% of the homepage "trending posts" from people I don't know anything about and it's INFURIATING.

Coincidentally I watched Grey Gardens this week for the first time without even realizing it was at a milestone anniversary. I'm happy to now count myself among those obsessed with Little Edie.

I thought about this earlier. "Touch grass" is a tired idiom, but I stepped outside and realized most of my very normal neighbors have no fuckin idea who Charlie Kirk was and won't even remember this news by the weekend. That's why they're all working SO HARD to create a first impression.

Kinda spoiling my last four watched post on Friday, but I'm hitting a lot of docs this week that I've wanted to see but never have. As of tonight, I am a fully committed member of the cult of Grey Gardens.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

I had a very intense Kinks phase in the 90s, and I still feel kinda warm and fuzzy about them, but as I've settled into my dotage I find The Beatles to be almost endlessly relistenable and I ain't mad about it. #boring

my entire bluesky feed is people speaking out against political violence, meanwhile right wingers are foaming at the mouth calling for blood

okay, this is the funniest photo ever

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time: 1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society 2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth
