RSD mission accomplished 🫡 I kinda became jaded about RSD because of the janky cash grabs, the ebay flippers, etc, but standing in line at @1234gorecords.bsky.social for 45 minutes (after they’d already been open for six hours) really reminded me that RSD is still about record stores in the end

Fyre fest ass secretary of war

Ted Templeman with the perfect Van Hagar take in 1985: He said, "Ted, you've got to produce this!" I said, "Look, I just can't do it. It's not personal, but without Dave, it's not Van Halen to me."

Hey friends: After two decades telling stories that matter, I’m ready for what’s next. Next week, my calendar opens up — and I’m actively looking for full-time or contract work in journalism, editing, comms, or policy analysis. Let’s be amazing together! [email protected] // 341-758-0888

there’s something so funny about the phrase “as surfers go,” and it gets funnier the more you say it

50 years ago today, Thin Lizzy released their commercial breakthrough Jailbreak, and definitively answered once and for all the question on a generation’s mind: Are the boys back in town? Yes. They were.

Judge, Skenes, Webb all eating shit on Opening Day. The Curse of Team USA is in effect

post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

the only Duke I care about this March

meta being called meta is so incredible. it’d be like if microsoft was called zune or nasa was called challenger

if bob seger released night moves today he’d be out in the back seat of his 2010 chevy and subsequently awakened to the sound of thunder and start hummin a song from 2012

Now I’ll never need to know if Logan Webb would’ve accepted an invitation to the White House. Incredibly blessed.

Pretending like you are going to war instead of a baseball tournament and then losing at baseball is super funny

This slaps so hard

Kinda burying the lede here… Egyptians of 1600 years ago had lobster claws for feet????

people in the uk be like “it’s-a me, 10th March!”

auspicious—one might even say, prefabulous—start to the weekend. @1234gorecords.bsky.social had a mint copy of this prefab sprout maxi-single from 1990. 45 rpm and just two tracks per side, Paddy is in the room with me 🥰

LATE NIGHT BONUS: Please enjoy Faith No More covering the jingle from the Nestle Alpine White commercial:

Truly Platonic Pegging.

yesterday, The Colour of Spring turned 40. 🎉 My personal favorite Talk Talk record, it’s in the sweet spot of their transition from pop to esoteric art rock. This 1986 Allied pressing sounds incredible (a “show off your hifi setup” disc), and it’s reasonably priced on discogs. Get it if you can!

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

Epstein’s audio system is getting roasted on r/audiophile

Let’s do this 🫰

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

the foley artist on Industry needs to win an emmy and perhaps even the nobel peace prize

This the face i’d make too if I signed a minor league deal with the angels

Listening to some Sprouts on the good headphones. Really get to appreciate just how good this album sounds 🥰

palantir employee upon reading this: "wait a minute... you're telling me my heckin' cool neurodivergent-friendly work family is responsible for THIS??"
