Hear me out: A new reality show starring George Santos and Eric Adams as roommates in a small NYC apartment.

Just look at all the Werner Herzogs on The Criterion Channel starting in November!

This really swings. Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra at the Village Vanguard. #musicsky open.spotify.com/track/410HhK...

Billboard that used to be up in Brooklyn. #booksky

NYC's Columbus Day Parade tomorrow got cancelled due to the weather and will not be rescheduled. Can't wait for the right wing to howl about some woke conspiracy.

Was looking at belts online and ran across this: "The tough full grain leather is taken from the hide and handcrafted into a belt that you'll pass down to your kids." Because if there's one thing you want to pass down to your kids, it's a belt.

Dillon Dingler? Sounds like a porn star name, not the name of the catcher for the Detroit Tigers.

The mighty Thelonius Monk's birthday today.

Did someone say Mavis Staples covering a Sparklehorse song??? Yes, please! #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAZG...

45 years ago today, Talking Heads released Remain in Light. Here's a track from the album, live in Rome in 1980, which is a stellar concert you should really hear/watch all of. #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO7N...

Just uncovered a treasure trove of jazz here: www.npr.org/series/34713... #musicsky

Jesus fuck. washingtonreporter.news/p/op-ed-rep-...

Seen online: "Michael Mann’s Heat 2 is officially in development, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, Adam Driver, and Austin Butler reportedly in negotiations to join the cast." Does this seem ill-advised to anybody else? #filmsky

Had a follow-up visit with my cardiologist last week — nothing serious — and he put this in the clinical notes: "His marked elevation in blood pressure usually is associated with negative emotion (he is a fan of the New York Mets!)"

My partner is happily ensconced in the bedroom listening to the new Taylor Swift and I'm just hoping she doesn't insist on playing it on repeat all night because I'm used to falling asleep to the monotone drones of BBC radio.

Some good media news for once. www.cnn.com/2025/10/02/m...

Patti Smith has a new memoir coming out Nov. 4, called "Bread of Angels." I hope it's as magic as her "Just Kids" was. #booksky

In our continuing series of old albums for old people, today is the 46th birthday of The Police's "Regatta de Blanc," a pretty great one. #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=woG5...

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

tfw you get a new follower, quickly followed by tfw you see they follow 25,000 other accounts also.

I did not know Criterion Channel had collected a bunch of Charles Burnett films for October. His "Killer of Sheep" is completely brilliant; looking forward to the others. www.criterionchannel.com/directed-by-...

Mentions of Thomas Pynchon’s new novel, Shadow Ticket, make me wonder if I’m missing anything by having read only Gravity’s Rainbow and V. Can anyone tell me which ones, if any, are worth my time? And, most importantly, why? #booksky

Bari Weiss is about to be named editor-in-chief of CBS news. What a fucking atrocity. Murrow and Cronkite are spinning in their graves.

Today I learned that the excellent series “American Experience” just aired an episode on the Hard Hat Riot, which is quite interesting. Check your local listings for a rebroadcast.

I never gave a second thought to the Reds, really, until the end of this season. Now I'm glad the Dodgers are beating the pants off them. Finish them, then beat the Phillies, then lose in the pennant is what I want.

ATTENTION: Important breaking news! apnews.com/article/fat-...

I'm so sad about the Mets I can barely work up the energy to be annoyed at the miniscule type on ESPN's score bug during this Yanks-Sox game.

Tom Waits' "Rain Dogs" was released 40 years ago today. What a tracklist:

For shits and giggles I looked up what they're charging for tickets to see One Battle After Another in Vistavision. $29.99. Fucking ridiculous.

60 Minutes slobbered over the Republican governor of Utah and new they’re tongue-bathing Dana White.

Goddamn fucking Mets broke my heart yet again.

The hands of pianist Glenn Gould.

Goddamn fucking Reds AND Goddamn fucking Drew Allar. Not a good sports night.

Livvy Dunne eating a turkey leg in her latest betting commercial. I wish she’d just go away.

A lot of people sad about the death of Kaleb Horton. I didn’t know his work, and will start with this piece on the wonderful Charles Portis. slate.com/culture/2020...

Dave Portnoy is an even bigger dick thsn Pat McAfee. awfulannouncing.com/college-foot...

Pat McAfee just used the made-up word “cyclicality.” What a douche.

Kudos to the Gameday announcers for wearing all white at Penn State for a whiteout game. Of course that douche McAfee wears a cream-colored jacket.

Every time I see that damn Livvy Dunne in a bathtub commercial, I smile when I think about how she was rejected from buying Babe Ruth’s old apartment.

Ha fucking ha, Matt Shaw struck out three times tonight. Would’ve been four, and a golden sombrero, but Swanson hit into a game-ending double play right before Shaw’s at-bat.

Feeling awfully nervous and kind of sick about the Mets game tonight. Anyone else?

You could play Kimmel's monolog last night over and over in a background tab today just to help drive up the numbers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

An excerpt from Patricia Lockwood's new book, Will There Ever Be Another You. #booksky lithub.com/will-there-e...

It's John Coltrane's birthday. You really should listen to the phenomenal, life-changing "A Love Supreme" today. #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll3C...

Autism was first differentiated from schizophrenia in 1911. Autism was fully recognized as a distinct condition in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t introduced until 1955. Anyone who tells you Tylenol causes Autism is completely full of shit.

Nice shot. Suck it, Soto haters. #Mets

OMG, Colbert brought back the "real" Stephen Colbert tonight. I fear his show won't even last till it's supposed to come off the air.

These motherfuckers. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/a...
