Couldn’t follow plot of Conan at the cinema tonight

My new rep!

Luckily there are enough books written before AI came out to read for the rest of my life

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

My wife and I were delighted to join my old friend @storybarf.bsky.social and his cousin on their podcast to talk about the weird time we were on an ABC reality show back in the late aughts! Fun conversation. open.spotify.com/episode/7xwh...

At least he’s miserable

I need to achieve nirodha

Just heard from my bedroom window a weird sort of whistle going down the street and then a woman’s voice yell “ICE is here, la migra está aquí.” In South Philly.

Recently, Ta-Nehisi Coates said, “Well, they’re killing people in the streets. I don’t like to say I told you so, but I saw this coming years ago, and they said I was being too alarmist. But it’s consistent with what the United States is as a country.“

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

Are women bourgeois?

Next president will have to rebuild the federal government while fighting a cadre of insane billionaires the whole way. The more bleak things get the more absurd it seems to consider electing some common weasel who wants to be president because he wants to be president

This is the singular legacy of the Biden administration, the failing that preceeded all subsequent failings. What good there was (and there was real tangible good!) will have to be excavated from a legacy of failing while in power to punish the plotters and beneficiares of an attempted coup.

@aoc.bsky.social should run for president because (a) 2028 is the year she could win, and (b) we desperately need a president who actually is enthusiastic about crushing fascism. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/why-aoc-sh...

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

Finding smut while going through dad’s record collection

I lose the lottery EVERY fricking time 😡

Every collection of used records you’re looking through has two copies of After the Gold Rush by Neil Young in separate locations

It can happen to you too—I turned 45 and now I like Steely Dan

Sometimes I miss the old days but then I have to charge a device with Micro USB

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

It would be funny if instead of being the friendliest sweetest guys in real life, metal dudes were actually really nasty guys who you need to stay away from

USB-C will likely turn out to be the last great technology advancement humans created

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Forced out of music league

people don't even notice how at the beginning of the last chapter of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo defunds the police

Had maybe the best idea ever. What if Steve Perry took over for DLR instead of S. Hagar.

(living in a country where the most successful people are obscenely rich and shameless perverts and psychopaths) Time to teach my children to be honest and study hard in school

It's not just that he's a pedophile, he was the least popular pedophile

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

Love this track Mean Alley off the One Battle After Another soundtrack—when I heard it in the theater it instantly perked my ear up, that bendy out of tune guitar is so good. Fantastic music, bravo Mr. Radiohead

Sadly I will have to stop watching once per year the video of Bill Burr geeking out about Meshuggah

I was guffawing mightily at these scenes

I reviewed One Battle After Another—Paul Thomas Anderson’s thrilling, idiosyncratic, funny, nervy, utterly Pynchonian new American epic—for @thenation.com. www.thenation.com/article/cult...
