You'd think the 20th century would have taught us to avoid concentrating power in one person's hands

God Only Knows is secretly a 9.9 rather than a 10 because Mike Love's braying ba ba bas are annoying

Supposing the university system does survive another generation, how could it withstand the ascendence of Gen Z and Alpha, whose cognitive capabilities, by all accounts, extend as far as their last ChatGPT prompt?

Gotta be the most underappreciated Beatles album

Just noticing the Beatles interpolation in Frank Ocean's Blonde ("White Ferrari"). Music is so rad

bluesky has lots of annoying people but twitter has lots of genuinely evil people

Finding myself forced to apply for jobs for the first time since the early pandemic (April 2020). Academic editing and writing work is being eliminated by the machines. If anyone has any tips or tricks or JOBS for 2026, let me know

Merry Christmas, everyone! Drink some eggnog (or peyote) and watch this with your kids archive.org/details/yell...

it seems like K-pop is just American pop but...Korean. is there some artistic advance there that I'm not seeing

finally carried out my months-long plan to eat mushrooms and watch Kpop Demon Hunters. kind of anticlimactic tbh

The reigning presidential administration seeking an emergency order from the national supreme court to block funding for a food assistance program. Great country, good people

This is not a good look, but: I am out of money and my car has broken down for the third time in a month. I have just moved across the country. I need a little help to make it through September: gofund.me/47e4a1856

New at the WERNER HERZBLOG: a second post about AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD, about the ephemeral nature of freelancing, about your work disappearing, and about staking my claim on the phrase "Cinema of Punishment" much like Warren Beatty sitting on the Dick Tracy rights

Wow the hackers completely deleted twitter. All the accounts and posts have been permanently deleted. Pour one out for twitter folks

Severence has the worst case of Prestige Pacing

RIP John Sallis, a former teacher of mine and great American philosopher

If I started a GoFundMe and said I lost everything in the fire, I'd definitely go to hell, but I *might* get enough to buy another PS4

very cool map of og Dark Souls, found on twitter

Any dream theater fans out there? Looking for recs

only thing worse than working is not working

ELP is the final boss of first-wave prog rock. You have to build up your supplies and endurance to take them on, but once you beat them, you can explore the rest of the world with no problem

the nukes won't save us. climate change won't save us. the coronavirus didn't save us. there is no hope for us.

being on twitter now means constantly reading stuff like "Remarking on the weather is a low-IQ trait. Based high-Q climate chads know that the weather varies in predictable ways with the seasons and atmospheric variables."

Love my boy

I think I'm at the end of my rope with the whole "roommates" thing. I'm in my forties now, having some rando baking bread at 4 am while I'm exhaustedly finishing work, it's just...too much. I want to be alone and die already

this seems like an impractical design. not Darwin-approved at all

there is an alleged pattern in which older ppl think the music they grew up listening to is the best. I haven't found this to be true for me. I was a 90s-2000s indie guy when I was coming of age, but I listen almost exclusively to 70s and 80s stuff now - because it's better!

I'm just gonna say it: Phil Collins is a better drummer than Neil Peart

Punk rock was a covert CIA operation initiated by Henry Kissinger to destroy prog rock as it was becoming too powerful and threatening the established order #lookitup

I never posted pics of my pup on Twitter so I guess I'll do so here, as he is the best thing in my life by a country mile

Today I turn 40, which is the legal age in Canada to euthanize yourself for being old

I want to watch Akira but the English dub is so bad and I can't read

Show Euron was such a bummer

King Gizzard is rock jazz but not jazz rock if that makes sense

I'm only here for the Brazilians

the name of the town I live in rhymes with "bwelf"
