I'm very sorry to report that the great alt-country singer-songwriter Todd Snider has died at 59 of undiagnosed walking pneumonia. I stick by what I wrote about him in 2012. www.robertchristgau.com/xg/bn/2012-0... Here's Rolling Stone's coverage. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

CINCINNATI! come to the BOOKS BY THE BANKS festival today at the main library if you want to talk about the afghan whigs

finally watched this and cried laughing

G I N O C E A N

resigned to this

Rooting not just for a Game 7 of the World Series, but another 18 inning game that goes so long on Saturday night that the clocks fall back at 2am before it’s ended and everyone gets tremendously confused about what time it is.

rooting for the blue jays but gotta say i really dig kiké hernández's vibe

as someone who recently ate steak and shrimp cocktail with yasi salek, i greatly enjoyed this profile of yasi salek that includes photos of her posed with steak and shrimp cocktail www.ssense.com/en-jp/editor...

alright guys knock it off

“we are young” is a rude song to play over the stadium loudspeakers at 12:40 a.m. ET

JOE BUCK: Welcome to the top of the 47th [Sun rises] [Sun keeps getting bigger] BUCK: yes [World engulfed by flames] BUCK: oh god yes

just yelled OH MY GOD, YOU’RE OUT at my ipad

remind me again why the angels sucked that whole time

If Sun-, Mon-, or Tues- the -day do be, The game is on Peacock or perhaps N- and/or ABC; If Wednesday has come round again, 'Tis wise to check ESPN; Yet if it be long weekend time, Search Disney's sports verticals, but first try searching Prime

the browns should get an extra loss for this game tbqh

rooting for a bengals-bucs super bowl just to determine which spurned browns QB reigns supreme

had a blast on the WORKING DRAFTS podcast talking to @tedfoxbooks.bsky.social about the perils of writing 9,000-word scripts and the harrowing new definition of "classic rock" (it is "daughter" by pearl jam) open.spotify.com/episode/2yvX...

this is the most like a mike tyson's punch out guy i have ever seen anyone look

scaring the cat by playing the nine inch nails 'tron: ares' soundtrack too loud

look, at least we hit something hard

I always admired Kaleb Horton's writing so much and am terribly sorry to hear of his death. It's a long list of singular writers who didn't have the careers they should have because of the people, places, and things that killed online media, but his name is right at the very top. I hate all of it.

at the weird al show and i just had to explain to my kids what “smells like nirvana” was a parody of

I sold another book!! #booksky

allison p. davis on lizzo in 2019 is one of my favorite magazine profiles ever, and the 2025 sequel does not disappoint www.vulture.com/article/lizz...

that’s what you get for leaving cleveland

it's that time of year

really had a blast here, this dude knows more about MTV UNPLUGGED than i know about anything and the lauryn hill unplugged is way better + more fascinating than i remember

admonished by my 11-year-old son for playing the sabrina carpenter album in the house too loud

it's pretty clear that my greatest professional accomplishment is gonna be "he was lurking in deadspin slack when Let's Remember Some Guys was invented"

if i were a QB i'd specialize in pretending to throw a pass on run plays; i would fake that shit so hard

totally shocking that the star QB who does warby parker ads turned out to be trash

oh wow

i really dig that dua lipa announces her new book club picks by staging an odd and vaguely amorous photoshoot with the physical book itself

Reminder to Columbus people that my book launch event at Used Kids Records is TONIGHT at 7 p.m. See you there?

I’m a firm believer that with SHIN GODZILLA returning to theaters, Toho should also re-release the figurines of the kaiju giving apologetic press conferences.
