Tom Jones covering Todd Snider. He actually made a video for this. youtu.be/CapAoT5EU4U?...

No one on Tv can cut a promo like Mr Jimmy and it is a tragedy.

Vicente Fox is Rusty Shackleford

I made a YouTube playlist of records I mentioned in Tough Breaks: The Story of Baltimore Club Music. I'm still adding to it, but there's over 100 tracks in there so far. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Bret Stephens, making the case for the United States invading Venezuela: "Why hasn’t Greta Thunberg set sail to Caracas with symbolic deliveries of food?" ...No one has ever made Bret Stephens look worse than Bret Stephens. The competition is only ever for second place.

‘Grok can you do a physiognomy check ‘ is incredible

I stopped posting Japanese commercial screens like two weeks into running this account (something like that deserves its own account) but I really need y'all to see how hard the Japanese G.I. Joe logo goes.

10 year old did field trip to Biz Town which is apparently a national program where kids visit a simulated town to learn ‘financial literacy‘. So everyone appointed jobs, CEO & CFO of Chick-Fila. Given a personal and business budget and then asked to vote for or against rise in minimum wage

shard of plate celebrating the martyrdom of Elijah Lovejoy, an abolitionist printer who was killed and had his press burned in 1837. Apparently plateware memorializing him as “Martyr of Liberty’ produced in 1840s.

In one of the Sammy Davis Jr books the claim is made that the Defiant Ones was originally supposed to be an Elvis/Sammy vehicle but Colonel Tom nixed it. Movie wouldn’t have been as good but it would have been incredible.

"hardly anyone listened to the John Cale / Charli XCX collab, but everyone who did went on to direct an adaptation of Wuthering Heights" - Brian Eno

Not including accountability piece is huge mistake. Just an absolutely hilarious San Dimas High School Football Rules “platform”

I saw Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN late tonight, and I thought it was a pure delight. In the last scene the Creature walked toward the sunrise. Then suddenly, to my surprise…

Has someone asked menswear guy what coin we should be putting in our loafers in future? do we need international currency in our shoes? Is it ever ok to put silver or gold coins in a brown shoe?

How do we film another Romeo & Juliet movie when they died at the end of the last one? It is fucking James Bind, no one expects continuity . Comic book nerds are idiots

oh noooo lolol

Finally got round to listening to the Lenny Williams front porch performance. So good youtu.be/PRBSVMV-tvI?...

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I drive a CRV not a Civic that had wheel fly off lIke a year and half ago . I love the first sentence “manufacturing defect that can cause the wheels to detach, increasing the risk of a crash” Increasing risk of crash? www.cbsnews.com/news/honda-r...

i didn't realize when i put on the new willie nelson album today that it has the last tracks he cut with bobbie nelson (who died in 2022) and paul english (who died in 2020). i teared up the first time willie tells his sister to take a solo. youtu.be/tU2sBr5J34g?...

Last year in this blog post, Matt Yglesias suggested the US should directly back the Sudanese RSF because they're "anti Iran, anti Russia"

This is so well done…

he was attacked for being a Dipset fan in NYC! Hard to keep track of all the amazing opposition research.

Aventura never getting a Grammy nomination while selling out Yankee Stadium because they weren’t merengue or salsa and there wasn’t a category for what they were doing is my favorite ‘why having lots of categories matter’ stories. Joy of Grammys is ignoring Big 4 for the million other categories

Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict: “I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything…. “That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants… Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

Pail E think Reigns should get an Emmy?

There’s a Rye It Going On

Different color scheme, but is this the same font used for the DFER anti Janeese Lewis George mailers? Is this specific anti -“defund the police” font or just universal political mailer font

No notes.

Stone. Cold. Knotts.

Graham Linehan moving to Phoenix is yet another grim chapter in the weird history of Maricopa County, Arizona, secretly one of the US's most cursed municipalities

G.E Studdy 1920

It is insane Jake Tapper had Liora Reznichenko of Stop Antisemitism on CNN. Stop Antisemitism regularly publishes fake news, lies and slander about people, and even recently forged texts from a serial fraudster on the run from the FBI. There's very little daylight between SA and Libs of TikTok etc

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead

Are you looking for an insane fascist to invite to your college campus to meet your “intellectual diversity” requirements? Why not invite a friendly fascist instead?

At some point I imagine Disney will farm out the Kirby era reprints to Fantagraphics , Drawn & Quarterly or some actual publisher who cares….Delgado pointing out that original Art (pre Lee as ‘art editor’ making changes to ‘prove‘ he should get paid) were sent for foreign language editions

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

Pretty much always
