Great news!

Michael Jackson biopic about how when the Black & White video premiered, MTV played it every hour on the hour the same night I had taken gobs of acid. I watched that it a bunch of times and each one was distinct sensory experience.

I saw one of those Stooges reunion shows in 2010. I expected it to be a typical legacy show: fun, nostalgia soaked, but ultimately forgettable. It turned out to be one of the greatest and most exciting live shows I've ever seen. Iggy Pop still has more charisma and energy than performers 1/4 his age

Also, shooting people for Jodie Foster.

Oh you're a fan of Ella McCay? Name the state she was born and raised in

Tom McCarthy on Ingeborg Bachmann tomorrow (6:30pm) at the Austrian Cultural Forum in NYC (11 E. 52 St.) @nottinghilleds.bsky.social published McCarthy's book on Bachmann, The Threshold and the Ledger, and we are doing his next novel, They Rhyl Poster.

Incredible list. They're all variations of "I'm not a drunk, I didn't get so hammered I locked myself in a closet and pooped my pants in terror" until you get to the 12th denial which is "BTW, I also don't abuse my office by targeting Trump's enemies list" and then it's back to "No DTs here, guys!"

Kathy Acker - BOTD in 1944

Damn, we're not even halfway through the first quarter and the Magic have scored almost three times as many points as the Hornets. This is shaping up to be one of biggest blowouts of all time.

Hey, man, that's cool. I've been working six days a week at two different jobs, one of which requires a weekly four hour commute but doesn't cover travel expenses.

Before these recent troubles I was unaware of the extent to which Sid Rosenberg resembles a Dick Tracy villain.

a small business owner should be as demonized as a fortune 500 ceo simple as

Mamdani: If the NYC apartment you keep solely for bi-yearly affairs with your mistress costs over 5 million dollars, you gotta pay more tax NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty

You must go home and be born over again; you don’t know how to cook a whale-steak yet.

Kristi Noem's bimbo husband has barely made a ripple in the discourse. In the 1990s it would have put up Buttafuoco numbers

Break them up on a wheel!

My brother made me watch a double Feature of Friday the 13th II and The Funhouse when I was 8 and then locked me outside the house and had a friend chase me around. Also, I spent the night at a friend's house when i was 10 and his mom rented two movies for us: Last House on the Left and Dune.

Every day JD Vance humiliates himself as the chief toady for a guy who doesn't know his last name, all in in the hope of placing a distant third in the 2028 New Hampshire primary

never make fun of someone who hasn't heard of something cool. you get to introduce them to a movie or an album that will change their aesthetic perspective. don't get so excited to act cool that you forget to actually be cool for once

I really can’t stress enough that Americans are all living in the Confederacy right now. Not just in the obvious white supremacy project but in the staggering, toe to tip incompetence at every level of organization by siloed rich morons who will starve if left to their own devices.

I would like to second this and also recommend Anera. I donate monthly to both.

How can somebody write this in the same sentence in which Jane Eyre is cited?

Me watching my first Werner Herzog film

I've just crafted a post that will bring down the Trump regime swiftly and completely.

New Yorker this week: "In the 90s, William F. Buckley had tried to keep paleocons like Brimelow and Buchanan out of mainstream conservatism by banning such ideas from the pages of National Review." Brimelow was a senior editor of NR in the 90s and wrote many articles including cover stories.

"Using your phone in a theater that requires you to use your phone doesn’t make you a jerk, it just makes you complicit in a braindead business model." Read @davidehrlich.bsky.social on the sheer horror of QR codes at the once-mighty Alamo Drafthouse. www.indiewire.com/features/com...

Saying you've read a book because you listened to the audiobook isn't valid.

We visited my niece and met Agnes' daughter Juniper

I’m glad we were wrong the 1000 times we announced a MAGA crackup the last 10 years so we can be right this time.

I saw Dirty 3 again last night in Chicago. I got a pretty good picture of Mick this time.

This might not be satire, this might simply be an accurate restating of Schumer's actual position

Those were the days.

He’s known for the moment of 2020 when his skull was fractured, but the radical bookstore Burning Books and others remember a longer commitment to justice. Sending my love to his family and community

charles burnett’s “my brother’s wedding” 4K restoration is making its U.S. premiere at TCM film fest. ❤️‍🔥 thank you to @milestonefilms.bsky.social, @kinolorber.com, @uclaftvarchive.bsky.social, BAMPFA, and the TCM programmers.

The daily churn of "the president has moved on from the last round of unprecedented cruelty and bullshit he's imposed on the world to a brand new bit of unprecedented cruelty and bullshit" is burning so many holes in my brain.

hmmmm…..that doesn’t sound like the Israel i know…….

I saw The Story of Marie and Julien last night and I'm adding it to the list. That cat should have won a César

And the three exceptions, who were Afghan, had their protected status stripped by Trump.

Day 4 of having both Lido Shuffle stuck in my head and a minor cold. The only conclusion I can make is that Boz Scaggs makes me sick, but just a little.

I say this as a working class public servant and elected member of a Democratic Party parish level DPEC: What kind of person must you be to take in the enormity of this moment: the confluence of official cruelty, incompetence, and bigotry, the elite impotence, and decide the solution is "tax cuts?"

Remember when DHS agents had no choice but to shoot two Venezuelan men because the men had attacked them with a snow shovel and a broomstick? New video shows they were lying about that one, too. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...

Melville's making it too easy.

It's not fair to use my own words and actions against me. Stop it.
