I have sent two videos I enjoyed to my favorite cool uncles on both sides of my family, and both responded with some version of “I don’t understand what this is, but they sure seem to be having fun.”

It's our Bandcamp Picks of the Week, featuring the brilliant slow motion ambient country of Barry Walker Jr.'s PALEO SOL, out now via @thrilljockey.bsky.social, and the cool-as-fuck art punk of Sunday Mourners' A-RHYTHM ABSOLUTE! Read about both today and then check them out on @bandcamp.com!

Dude too afraid to play scary games to completion but loves the lore and watching other people play doesn't mind videos being leaked about it.

I love this Low cover Doughty did ages ago.

Sometimes a vocal stim is just a weird noise, and other times it's shouting "WU-TANG KILLER BEES ON A SWARM" or "I GET PSYCHO KILLER, NORMAN BATES" from ODB's Shimmy Shimmy Ya while no one else is home.

I famously walked out of Across the Universe because I couldn't deal with The Beatles' music in that context. I can't remember if it was Bono or Suzy Eddie Izzard—two people I normally like(!)—that drove me to sit outside smoking cigarettes while my friends finished watching it, but they did it.

The new Yuma Zouma is absolutely lovely.

I can’t think about new glasses without this going through my head.

Today in a meeting we were told once again we need to be utilizing AI, but that we need to check everything for accuracy and to make sure to adjust it so it’s “written in our voice.” If you want it “written in our voice,” I’d say we should probably just write it ourselves.

9 out of 10 mothers agree: I'm the nicest of all your friends.

New glasses look like they might be root beer flavored but they are not.

Being silent only helps the oppressors, Garfield

If you ask me, that Phantom of the Opera should have kept that mask on.

Brittany and I had a lovely day off seeing this together. Really glad I avoiding knowing anything about it. I laughed my little butt off.

I bet the Olympic village in Roku City never runs out of condoms.

I’m playing Music League with a bunch of my extended family, and my favorite uncle keeps bluntly criticizing my song choices, which would be totally fine if it weren’t in front of everyone and I wasn’t already in last place.

Watching the Criterion 4K of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure and goddamn what a perfect fucking film.

I’ll argue to death that the first Malkmus solo record is better than any of Pavement’s albums.

Folks, I have watched this six times this week.

Did you miss our roundup of the best shorts from this years Sundance? It includes shorts like Kate Renshaw-Lewis's BUSY BODIES, a looping meditation on our current mass industrialization in the Amazon age, and Leah Vlemmiks' AGNES, an exploration on aging!

Jon Hamm shouldn’t be allow to go grey. It’s not right.

I wrote about a few of my favorite films of 2025 over at @mgrmagazine.bsky.social!

We Bury the Dead: You’re telling me you’re gonna put the wonderful Daisy Ridley in your movie and then make her do a lame American accent?

My grandma once called Michael J. Fox “J. Michael Fox” and he’ll never not be that to me.

I was reminded today of a heavy metal dude who would come into the record store I worked at, which we called “Big Scary Nice Guy.” He looked so intimidating, dressed in all black with spikes and chains, always scowling, but he was just a big sweetie pie when he'd come to the counter to check out.

Decided every time I get frustrated at work, I’m just gonna put on the DOOM mask.

very thankful for the opportunity to write about bad bunny's super bowl halftime show for @latimes.com. it means a lot to me as someone from pr to put this incredible moment into perspective for non-latin viewers who might've missed key details www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

Post a banger that isn’t in English

Stumbled across these amazing creatures from Canada this weekend. What an absolutely wild and phenomenal performance.

More like Good Bunny! (Have we done this joke?)

Luna loves movies and enjoyed watching Inside Out today. Is it time to revive her Letterboxd account?

Breaking: Tragedy at the Winter Olympics

So you’re telling me I could hire a magician to perform close-up magic for me anytime?

What’s your favourite song over 10 minutes long?

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover

Great time to watch A Bug’s Life, just sayin’

🎶 Take me down to the paradise city where the streets run red with the blood of my enemies. Oh, won't you please take me home? 🎶

Don't ask me how I know, but a specialty-made cat mascot costume costs around $30K.

From Carter Amelia Davis's quirkily modern and unsettlingly HOMEMADE GATORADE to Jamie Kiernan O’Brien's impeccably acted and deeply felt GENDER STUDIES, here are the best shorts from Sundance 2026!

Perfect casting considering you can't get much more toxic a man than Jared Leto.

Starting a rumor that eating a billionaire gives you the power of flight

We'll remember who led this shit. We'll remember who cheered for this shit. We'll remember who expressed concern but went along with this shit. And we'll remember who twiddled their thumbs during this shit.

Phone auto-corrected Ratboys to Rambo's, so I'm obviously not talking about @ratboysband.bsky.social enough.

Went to do my last.fm 5x5 this week, but all I listened to was this fantastic record over and over.

If you haven't read the first Bargain Bin of the year yet, it's from the time when I was working at a music venue, and a giant bird showed up.

Never forget the time the St. Louis County Library executed two kids on Instagram in the name of Star Wars.

In the last year, I’ve been invited to be on two smallish podcasts; one was just postponed until ?, the other one ghosted. Nbd. Anyway, I’m available to be a guest on your podcast, but I’m also available to be asked to be a guest on your podcast, and then you can cancel. I’m just happy to be asked!

Our dog Spock was excited when I opened the door to my office after I had to sit through the long work call. I asked him to “show me” what he wanted. Usually, he runs to the door wall to be let out or the kitchen for a treat but he ran inside the office and sat politely on the mat. He wanted hugs.

Emerging from post-Sundance hibernation to declare: I'm on the lookout for a new full-time job. Seeking Chicago-based or remote editing and writing opportunities—don't have to be in the field; I'm extremely open to copywriting, technical writing, marketing stuff, etc. Email and portfolio in profile.
