This is also what I cannot get over. It’s like Mr. Beast getting a state funeral.

Remember when Elon Musk made comedy legal again?

If you like R.E.M. I can't stress enough how fun it is to see these guys play the hell out of the IRS era songs and Shannon channels Stipe so well - get on this, it's so fun and you can count on R.E.M. never touring again

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

THE HAPPY DICTATOR (feat. SPARKS) by #Gorillaz is out now! ⚡️

post a meme made by you

hey king, when you get a chance can you break us off a verse from Sitting Still?

My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias

I gotta pin my formerly pinned tweet here because I genuinely think about it a lot; I wrote this down as soon as he said it at the Pulp doc premiere in L.A., and still try to keep it in mind when making anything.

Big exciting day: the paperback second edition of CUREPEDIA, my book about The Cure @thecure.com, now fully updated to include Songs Of A Lost World (and related singles, gigs etc), is out NOW! Available from usual stockists, or order via the @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social website: geni.us/Curepedia

I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE THE CRIME IN D.C. COMICS IS VERY HIGH WHICH IS WHY BATMAN AND SUPERMAN ARE ALWAYS BATTLING CRIMINALS LIKE THE JOKER AND LEX LUTHOR WHO BY THE WAY USED TO BE A MEMBER OF MAR-A-LAGO BUT I DON'T KNOW HIM

william shakespeare: [a bunch of dumb ass crap] roger miller: roses are red and violets are purple, sugar is sweet and so is maple surple

I am going to make everyone stop being suspicious of me by pardoning the most evil woman alive and coincidentally she will say that I did not commit the same crimes that she did when we were hanging out all the time

FOLKS - coming back to Ireland and the UK next month in a strange but amazing way…

As a child, I was told by many cartoons & comics that we would have future robots to do the boring-ass chores like dishes & laundry so we could spend that time reading & writing & watching movies & listening to/making music & thinking & pondering INSTEAD. It sucks so much we got the OPPOSITE of that

I Have Forgotten What You Did Last Summer But I Definitely Have A Negative Association With You And Last Summer

JP is one of my favorite writers and I will read his takes on anything.

Everyone I know who deals with this isn't the "snubber." (Rare) phone calls w/ my mom always go like this: Me: Hello? Her: Hi. Me: How's it going? Her: *immediately launches into how I'm going to hell for not supporting Trump, who is going to heaven* But it's a "snub" to not want to hear that shit?

My new standup special Positive Reinforcement premieres TONIGHT at 8pm eastern time on Blonde Medicine’s YouTube channel. I’m really proud of this hour and grateful to all the people who helped make the special happen. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAvN...

i cant stop laughing at everything about this sorry

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

This is the exact thing— these people are just going for broke and achieving personal hatred goals because yolo? They can fuck all kinds of shit up & walk away smiling because we don’t do consequences for government people here

If you use "A.I." to publish something it has to come with the professional death penalty. You cannot work in news ever again. Yes I know that's not how it actually goes – so many plagiarists are still thriving – but if it is up to me you are fucking done. Pack up your shit and hit the bricks.

Okay maybe this is too hot a take for 5:30pm on a Saturday but I think meme accounts that don’t give any attribution paved the way for people to accept AI words and imagery because it separated culture and entertainment from the idea that someone had to have those thoughts and compose them.

Y'all notice they're rounding up most of these "freeloading" immigrants AT WORK???!!

It's pretty irritating how many pundits would hear the ideas "I want to shove 100 live scorpions in your mouth" and "I want to shove 0 live scorpions in your mouth" and sagely declare: "The wisest course of action is to let someone shove 50 live scorpions in your mouth."

Adam Curtis is back New 5-part doc Shifty, about instability and power, is now on iPlayer www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Turn it off. Stop using it. Turn it off. Stop. Stop. Stop. If every time I was wrong about something, a gallon of precious water was boiled into the sky, my neighbourhood got polluted and someone lost their job, people would stop asking me things.

Some of y’all can’t handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

When I first saw @kristeenyoung.bsky.social open for Morrissey, she blew my fucking mind. I got home & immediately found her on MySpace & messaged her like, “You’re the coolest person I’ve ever seen.” We talked at the next show & now she’s my friend & I love her & am still in awe of her genius.

The boys climb to the top of a mountain to ask Radisson Cawthorn (@aimeemann.bsky.social), the magical crow, life's most important questions. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Fuck all the way off with this shit. I also texted my ex 7,000 times a day because I knew if I didn't, I would get punished when I got home. And I needed to LITERALLY MAKE SECRET PLANS in order to get out; it took months. You can't just "leave right away" if you live with a controlling tyrant.

Me after the UK got nil points at last night’s Eurovision

Another good story in the "meet your heroes" genre: When I first moved here, I knew no one. I went to a big party for my ex's work; a beautiful, kind woman came up to me & said, "I heard you just moved here; I did too. Let's be friends!" I asked why she had moved here & she said, "For my husband...

David Bowie's father: hey i have an idea why don't you reinvent yourself as somebody who mows the goddamn lawn

DA POPE

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

Johnny Marr all day, baby! Here’s him being nice while I’m literally going, “YOU’RE THE FUCKING BEST, MAN!” right in his face with zero chill

It’s a difficult time for young men, growing up in a culture that no longer provides them with strong role models like Robert Wadlow, the fat biker twins, or the Indian guy with the long fingernails
