“i can’t leave twitter, i need it, it’s where my audience is”

It’s 49 degrees outside and Mr Softy is still going strong. This has to be a bit!

The Internet truly is a wild place. The kid who sat behind me in AP French and my college era bandmate are teaming up as they expose grifters. It is beautiful to watch.

Probably the same reason UPS is cutting ties with Amazon (high volume, no margin)

New Knives Out just dropped

There’s gotta be some bizarre back story to the guy driving the Mr Softy truck through my neighborhood in late November, right? Like a guy who has to justify buying it while on a multi-day bender? Or maybe he made a bet one night at a bar?

Just pitiful...

Lol...just 🤌

State run camps for the unhoused is a predictable outcome of the Supreme Court’s horrific Grants Pass decision last year. And yes, the abominable radical centrism of NYTimes headlines endures, sadly.

Chicagoans are starting to do exactly this.

The Simpsons very first Treehouse Of Horror episode aired on this day in 1990.

Doing a real life interpretation of The Music Man

Traveling to the real America, doing a racism, running up a massive tab, and then skipping town is not just a Young Republican thing

absolutely one of the most incandescent talents of his generation. made music for all time. a heavy loss.

D’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were all heralded as classic works of art, has died at age 51. Access the free article here: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

I’m old enough to remember (2023!) when media/business community was up in arms about SF crime overall after a tech executive was killed. Turns out the victim was in an extramarital romantic relationship with one of the killer’s family members.

Gotta pay homage to two great TV episodes today

These are just the same bros (prob worse TBH) who hung out outside Wawa in high school. Now we're paying them to do it.

I uncovered a recording of a conversation between my aunt and my late grandmother, and it's so deeply meaningful to hear her Outer Borough Jewish accent as it was in the late 1970s. Each word, each inflection in her voice carries so much weight. AI can never replace this experience.

The horror of fabricating fake footage via AI of someone else's deceased parent is beyond the pale. Literally creating a false artifact to dilute their actual legacy.

while I nodded, cartwheel slapping / on the stage, some double-tapping / harsh vox not unlike rapping, yet not rapping, to be sure / ok that's enough of this

Theo Von is a podcaster and assistant for his husband's youth ministry. His hair is fine.

Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Max Martin leaving the studio

How I felt waiting a week to see One Battle After Another

This year on Yom Kippur I'm thinking about how I can do better and be better and make amends, but it's hard to not ALSO think about how the people who really really need to be doing that reject the premises of self-improvement and apologizing.

It almost feels like being back at my Midwest liberal arts college

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

This truly warms my alt weekly-loving heart

watching the simpsons on a crt in a dark room at night just feels so right

I beg people to develop media literacy, tho I don’t expect the White House to get near basic literacy anytime soon

Am I the only person alive disappointed in the lack of tacky headlines on this story? Bonjour les Enfants! FYI: Nepo babies are en vogue!

Preview of the announcement:

The summer wind came blowing in from across the sea

It truly is wild that this Tylenol case is taught at every single business school as an example of what to do if consumer safety is at risk and yet it’s exactly the opposite of how corporations act now.

I am once again remembering how I saw someone recording Elliott Smith’s October 2022 show at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis. A recording of that show is out there and I want to get my hands on a copy! I doubt this post will help turn it up but maybe…

90 Minutes of James Dobson Burning In Hell (2025)

james dobson is dead and cannot wish anything but eternal pain on that mother fucker. that guy destroyed so many lives

Okay men, it's time to clean up this town! Meaning what, exactly? You know, push people around, make ourselves feel big

If there’s a way to make pasta with broccoli not feel like a version of a casserole, I’d love to see it

Novelty/single-use kitchen tools are, with some rare exceptions, a scam
