“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

yes, be smart, be strategic, be careful, but don’t tie yourself in knots trying to exercise your civil liberties in a way that will appeal to the least satisfied guy on the computer

STEPHEN A. SMITH: "The fact that I am candidate for the presidency of the United States of America according to the polling for the Democratic Party is the most clear-cut evidence of how pathetic of a state of affairs that exist within the Democratic Party today."

Man, been sleeping on this one. Mastered by @telefontelaviv.bsky.social too.

I’m a 2 at most!!!

One way to win the economic competition with China would be to make apps that don't suck shit. Have you considered that

fuck yes. Borges those motherfuckers

@ashleycarman.bsky.social for Bloomberg today. This is Spotify 2025 baby, wherever you stand on streaming is one thing, but you are an adult who can make a conscious choice as to what you really care about. Make a decision.

If I remember correctly, Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys was in the crowd for this show and Charlie pointed him out to me in the crowd and I got REALLY NERVOUS

This might be Lynch’s greatest achievement. It’s almost an anti-art school philosophy, in that he had no desire to explain or attach a conceptual one-sheet to his films. Saying nothing is alway better.

It’s so funny to hear all the uh (so so sorry for this) turbonormies co-opt “one-shotted”, a term that likely came from World of Warcraft players during the second Bush administration

These people are your enemies

I had a lot of people asking me so I wrote an explainer: Here's how you can help the incarcerated firefighter battling the blazes in Southern California this week: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Keep playing your guitar. Keep painting that sunset. Keep writing that screenplay. Even at the level of hobbyist you are richer than these people could ever dream of in ways they will never, ever have. They know it, so should you.

side note if anyone wants to hire me or give me money for medical expenses that would be cool. i’ve been temping at the same place for five months, hoping they hire me, but at the moment i’m not making enough to survive and my savings is almost gone

Send me the receipt of you cancelling your Spotify account as well as a link to your bandcamp and I’ll repost it on my 50k follower IG today for BC Friday

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about

Spotify Wrapped isn’t just free advertising for the streaming giant. As @lizpelly.bsky.social explained back in 2020, the campaign also reinforces the toxic idea that music’s value is determined solely by its number of streams.

I have never been this angry reading a book about music before. Genuinely believe we’re going to reach a breaking point when this book comes out, either you care about music or your care about hyper-personalized audio content.

Just gonna post moustache selfies here, no meaningful content

Lmao

I tweeted something like this many years ago and Ian Miles Wrong got really angry but it’s accurate

We found this Arctic hare on the tidal flats of Hudson Bay. Sometimes they venture out there to munch on the kelp before the water returns. They tend to stand out without snow, so they often tuck into the rocks. 🌿🦊

Waiting for the Vivek Ramaswamy event in Dimes Square presented by Palantir and Compact Magazine. Literally any day now.

no one makes werewolf movies anymore because no one is scared of werewolves. in order to make modern werewolf horror it would have to be a werewolf running away from all the people who want to have sex with him

“tHeY’rE NoT rEaLLy NaZis” 🤪

Timeline cleanse

in 2012 i interviewed the exec of a streaming company who told me he thinks music should become a privately-owned utility, like electricity or water. this was the moment i realized that the way these tech people think is antithetical to the entire concept of art

This is a journey!

Daily Geraldine 🌿👀🌲 (she was too well hidden yesterday for me to get even a half-decent picture, so here is a throwback to when she was hiding a little less successfully on one of her favorite cold-weather perches. Note that this picture is extremely zoomed and cropped)
