I talked to Uncle Dibbz for @culturemap.bsky.social. houston.culturemap.com/news/restaur...

“Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love” Off the top of my head…

Random hot take: SPEAKERBOXX/THE LOVE BELOW is just a super-sized STANKONIA. (Still a masterpiece tho.)

I wrote about Houston record stores for @houstonchronicle.com. www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Maturing is realizing this song is clearly about growing up poor, queer and Black — but no one in the ‘80s was ready for that conversation, so the general discourse just stayed at growing up poor. youtu.be/AIOAlaACuv4?...

Well, I heard this on the bus today: “I’m not gay. I’m not queer. I’m not pansexual or asexual. I’m attracted to art.”

I wrote about SHALL WE DANCE? for @crooked-marquee.bsky.social. I didn’t have a good time revisiting this. crookedmarquee.com/harveys-hell...

Maturing is realizing most of Prince’s catalog consists of him scared shitless at the thought of thermonuclear war.

Am I the only one worried about what Orange Boy will do once the Files are released? This muhfucka has proven time and time again that he has no problem destroying shit.

This is officially a gummies-and-Dot’s Homestyle Pretzels fund. PayPal.me/unclecrizzle

It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

Growing up, I was always a big fan of people who knew what the fuck they were doing. It’s a shame those people aren’t around anymore.

I hate everything right now — I mean, EVERYTHING!

I must be an empath because all this negative shit is killing me.

@mattzollerseitz.bsky.social’s video essay on Mike Figgis’s STORMY MONDAY (where he got @kimmorgan.bsky.social to narrate Roger Ebert’s review of the film) is still a banger. scalar.usc.edu/works/film-s...

If you’re a Republican, I just gotta ask… Why are you STILL a Republican? I mean, the people who are allegedly on your side are making y’all look hella repugnant. Honestly, why would you STILL want to be associated with these muhfuckas?

Remember back in the good ol’ days when editors would hit you up about doing a piece because they knew you were the only muhfucka who could knock that shit out of the park? #goodtimes

Dick Cheney is dead. Here’s my VICE review. www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture...

Anyone else getting tired of posting shit?

A person asked me if I get into it with people in the comments section of my pieces. “God, no,” I responded. At that point, I realized I never argue with people online, mainly because, well, why the fuck would any person in their right mind do such a thing?

I keep thinking things are gonna turn a corner soon, but I may have to accept that most of us will be broke and homeless by New Year’s. I already got my landlords doing “suspections” on tenants in order to kick some people out.

@jasondashbailey.com uses the term “dusty-ass” in this review. I can’t help but feel I’ve corrupted him. crookedmarquee.com/review-sprin...
