Stanky-ass timeline

And to get an even more disturbing view of DOGE's rampage, read our history of DOGE as told by federal workers.

Tortie update. #cats #Torties

Kinda wild how my two favorite streamers—Criterion Channel and Night Flight Plus—have the dumbest apps.

Worth your time

thank fucking god

I'm pretty obsessed with Antonio Sánchez's drum-heavy score for The Studio. It's the PERFECT fit for the show.

We love you, Carol Kaye www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/a...

I'm pretty pumped to attend the Woodstock Film Festival this year. CHECK OUT THIS PANEL. Larry Fessenden in conversation with Brad Dourif. YES. woodstockfilmfestival.org/2025-all-eve...

I'm not the first to notice the reinvention of @wired.com from mouthpiece of tech ideology to showing everyone else how to do journalism today, but this cover is something else. The inclusion of their own hagiographic covers in the back is a nod to that shift, which is beautiful. Also…

To my autistic friends and family (I have a few): You are loved the way you are. Don't listen to these idiots.

Also, I’m reminded about how exhausting it is to do normal tasks while in a state of mourning.

So this year our backyard has hosted multiple black bears and porcupines, doing all sorts of stuff. I’m perfecting my Attenborough voice.

Finally reading this after preordering it ages ago. Jason is a staggeringly underrated writer. He had the courage to tackle a mountain of a subject & he makes it look effortless. (As a writer, I know it was definitely not effortless. Dude put in the work.) Get this book pronto. Holy shit.

I’ll be introducing ryan gosling’s directorial debut LOST RIVER at the roxy in NYC on 9/21 at 8pm! www.roxycinemanewyork.com/screenings/l...

LFG!

Kudos to AMC Theatres for putting ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN and THE NATURAL back on the big screen this week in celebration of Robert Redford's legacy. Great use of multiplex capacity to allow us to see these films as intended. www.amctheatres.com/movies/all-t... www.amctheatres.com/movies/the-n...

Yes, it's good to cancel your Disney + subscription. But I see so many people acting like the whole app is a slop factory. Come on. Really, come the fuck on. It houses some of the most important landmarks in the history of tv and cinema. Please be honest about what you're giving up. It's important.

Flashback... Saturday... the extended Rise of the Synths interview. (via Spanish media) lab.rtve.es/webdocs/synt...

It’s wild to me that Gandolfini’s nickname in college was Bucky.

I hate watching myself on video, but this was pretty fun (and cool). It had been a super long day, but I still managed to string a few coherent words together.

My most Gen X complaint is that this question ignores our existence.

this exists it is called thinking

It is a travesty that physical movie rental options disappeared at the same time that Blu-ray quality became amazing

Streaming has let us control what we watch and when we watch it but the fact that young people nowadays will never channel surf and find Godzilla vs Monster Zero at 1 AM is a tangible loss to the human experience.

Drive, obviously

I was bullied mercilessly in elementary and middle school. It took one or two retorts to bring the bullies crashing down in tears and brain-break. That feels like an instructive life lesson for our contemporary era.

On one hand it's fucked that Jack Kirby got ignored and screwed over by Marvel. On the other hand at least he isn't subject to this.

this Schlitz shirt in Nashville (1975) fuckin kicks ass

"the songs continue to resonate. Because time really is running out, you know. The good still doesn’t come out of us. The frozen lake is still melting. And it’s a holiday for hanging now every day of the week." racketmn.com/at-the-palac...

This is bad

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Some news: yesterday was my last at Rolling Stone. For now, I'm going solo, doing all my TV reviewing, recapping, etc., at my newsletter. I hope you'll consider subscribing. Many more details here:

Your email finds me deeply burned out and disassociating.

Winning a Grammy, Webby, Oscar, and Tony award is called a GWOT and no one has ever won the GWOT

this is very much obviously a Cis Person Trying to Understand narrative and is dated in a lot of ways (deadnaming, trapped in the wrong body etc) but the essence of it is very sweet and humane. the fact that he ends it on “she’s still the same brilliant artist and we wish her all the best” rules

When Tramell Tillman wins an Emmy

This fella has ideas. #birds #hummingbird #midhudsonvalley

What are we losing by offloading our thinking to A.I.?

#synthwave pioneer MN84 defined a sound in the late 2000s. What’s he up to 16 years later?

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Anyone have $15 milll lying around? #davidlynch www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

It’s wild how some film score fans just HATE Reznor and Ross. But come on. This is good (and way better than the movie it’s a part of).

Wait this crap is real? I thought for sure it was a marketing stunt for Black Mirror or something.

Photojournalist Bill Biggart died when the second tower collapsed on him on 9/11, but the film he shot that day and his flash card were recovered from the debris and developed, along with his flash card. You can see his amazing photos of 9/11, the last photos he took while alive, here:
