This is like Mr Rogers picking up Mjolnir

Here’s a fun game you can play. Spend a few moments imagining what a Flea solo track might sound like. Then go listen to the song. Then give yourself a grade. I get an A.

I have “Lookin’ out my back door.” a song I have never listened to by choice, stuck in my head and I am growing increasingly angry at the tambourines and elephants line. What are they playing? How? Don’t tell me. I’m mad.

I’m legit in awe of the concept of poems that are too dangerous to fall into the wrong hands

I just learned what a seiche is, and it seems pretty embarrassing for the lake.

I genuinely love a hyped up local meteorologist.

IG served me Laura Snowden explaining a thing she does with singing over a harmonic to mimic a note bending and it was rad so I looked up her album and it's fantastic. Guitar and voice and that's all you need when it's this clear and focused

Fargo is still good.

Reading King Sorrow on a snowy night. I even have tea and a cozy blanket.

I’ve been kind of fevery today (I’m fine) and it’s always very funny to me that when my brain is working its absolute worst it’s also so so confident in its output You are too hot. Your ideas are bad. Go to bed, my friend.

IMPORTANT HALLOWEEN DISCOVERY Scout’s costume is the original Heathcliff comic.

I’d make a good mothman. I constantly bring up upsetting topics and I’m often almost helpful.

The guitar learning curve has saved countless innocent people from being serenaded. We can’t let this happen. m.youtube.com/shorts/RtFrz...

Some of you inspire me to be even more annoying

Spirit Halloween getting closer and closer to the good stores each year seems like a not super great economic indicator.

All in on Women Wearing Shoulder Pads

As anxiety songs go, Close To Me is an all timer.

I love it when someone on TV says “wait, say that again.” because I was also not listening.

are there money designations beyond “fuck you” Is there like “hey now” money?

Every once in a while, my Apple TV just turns itself on, shows me a dolphin or the moon or whatever, and then turns itself back off again. Whatever it’s up to I don’t understand, but I think I’m fine with it

Wrapping up vacation and Michigan is in a showoffy mood.

The rock beach was FULL OF SPIDERS.

I’m glad I went into Sinners with zero information. Amazing.

I’ve reached the age where dying in a tornado seems like an inconvenience.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

There are a lot of free floating sandwiches in The Pitt.

My daughter seems to think I tried to forbid her from reading The Little Prince, and is now spite-reading it and giving me angry updates.

AI usage now reminds me of those vintage microwave cookbooks with recipes for whole “roast” turkey and “microwave baked” bread. Yes, those are very possible things you can do with a microwave, but you don’t because it’s weird and it sucks.

It just occurred to me that the flashing red light on my electric toothbrush probably means “you’re brushing too hard.“ And not “HELL YES GET ROWDY”

Get those good Adam Curtis crafts

The first Edith Frost album in 20 years. That’s something good. edithfrost.bandcamp.com/album/in-space

From the twisted imagination of Mavis Beacon

I’ve lived a whole life. I have a job. I am a parent. I drive a car. I pay taxes although I still don’t know if that’s a thing we’re doing this year. And yet I still cannot spell the name Michael correctly on the first try.

Whenever my daughter stays home sick I have to leave a message on the school absence line. You’d think by now I’d have a game plan for that message, but I do not. I hear that beep and what comes out is a surprise for all of us.

My daughter and I spent the evening trying to decide if wyverns or dragons were cooler. Take that as you will, wyrms.

I was just reminded of how much I love Connections m.youtube.com/watch?v=4cAC...

The push to validate AI art isn’t just about money. It’s about destroying art’s ability to drive cultural change.

I’m gonna get in early and disavow the false vacuum and pledge my support for the true vacuum.

the doomy collapse subreddits and the general news subreddits are increasingly posting the same stories and it’s making it more difficult to ease into a sense of dread

I feel like innies should be responsible for the commute, if not the whole morning routine

I wish I had the confidence of Google’s AI search, just saying whatever whenever and having fun with words and numbers.

I just remembered the Antitrust scene where Ryan Phillippe gives himself an impromptu allergy test. It might be the weirdest scene I have ever seen in a studio film.

If you need me, I’ll be at the Tall Mall (pt 2) being afraid of stairs

The doechii tiny desk is a delight

When I really love a book, it feels wrong to keep it. I want other people to find it and love it as much as I do. And that’s cool and all until I look at my bookshelf at home and realize it’s just a collection of unlovable weirdos.

The Uniqlo shirt making stations rule. I think I might have Chaia design all of my shirts for a while.

We took our tiniest friends to see the tiniest houses Chicago has to offer
