Super happy to be watching this tonight.

One of those times I can't responsibly tweet what I'm thinking.

Steve Malkmus has some nice windbreaker jackets.

Pretty into this sectsonline.bandcamp.com/album/sects

Woke up thinking about Left For Dead, a 30-year old band from Ontario. Still hold up! youtu.be/wfZRwEUNflk?...

I watch a lot of very good, artsy films. I'm a sophisticate like that. ... I also like a big, loud movie from time to time and, man lemme tell ya, 'Sisu: Road to Revenge' kicks an indescribable amount of ass.

Inventing cones but they're pinners instead.

This USMNT isn't very good!

Spring cleaning, man. Sure helps things at least look a little less grim. Now time to re-establish that patina of wok and weed smoke on the mimi-blinds.

Thinking of getting a tattoo of my favorite record label. For those of you that aren't from Chicago and/or Polish, Jay Jay was Lil Wally Jagiello's label/studio/pressing plant here in the city.

Is there any evidence the Chicago guy that said the weird stuff is real? I have some substantial doubts.

This is a fantastic movie. If you get TCM, watch it.

Kinda wondering what it will take for there to be a collective understanding that the NYT sucks and that you don't need to read it or pay them. If you need access-journalism and wrong opinions, it's free elsewhere. Coke v Pepsi. Same shit , different URL.

I'm looking forward to garage sale season I can buy an old barometer (the kind that goes on the wall). This desire is no doubt stems from wanting to be away from The Phone as much as possible.

Always fun to read about cool people doing cool stuff in a cool newspaper!

It's going to be quite the experience to live through a great recession and, it seems soon enough, a depression.

Haven't had a rutabaga lately. I oughta fix that.

Watching 'Code of Silence' on Tubi. A top tier Chicago movie. Directed by Andrew Davis, naturally. After brilliant establishing shots of the city, it starts with Chuck Norris riding a garbage truck driven by Dennis Farina. Do yourself a favor.

Yeahhhh youtu.be/7YSnhc4acAA?...

The CEO of the company I won't be at for much longer has been veering towards and now seems at the precipice of AI psychosis (or at least some kind of mania). It's fascinating to watch. It almost feels like the next email will be "I've discovered a new kind math...". Seriously fuckin' wild.

Taking a look at the major obits on Ehrlich, not one mentions the advocacy for forced sterilization or hanging around with John Tanton. Zero attempt to draw a line (or acknowledge those who have) from his work to the organized nativist movement leading to feds murdering people in the streets.

Paul Ehrlich is dead. Good riddance.

The Venn diagram observation: The people who tend to complain this website is not up to their standards and the people that regularly retweet themselves (sometimes from years ago) are always the same group of people.

I generally believe just about any piece of media would benefit for Matt Berry's presence but, man, he's great at this.

It's Chili Night in Chicago

Only listening to Grant Hart songs for the rest of the night.

Man, I love Bette Midler so much. Listen to her cover of 'Leader of the Pack' off her debut record if you don't believe me.

I keep thinking that seems like it has been a war planned and executed via text message.

I do a stir fry with celery, bok choy, five spice tofu, and cashews that's way better than you think it is.

This guy has always been a wiener. This is the fullpage ad he took out 21 years ago in the Chicago papers. He lives in Kenilworth, just like Paul Harvey did. I've also mentioned this before but I once saw him riding a bike while wearing a cape. It wasn't even that cold (definitely not "cape cold")

This has gotta be about 25 years old. I have no idea where this photo was taken, either.

Holy shit! This is so cool. Some much-needed Good News!!! I'll be kickin' it for every show. If anyone I know is coming in for this, call me up! I'm happy to give guided tours of the north side, the L&L, and any number of the crappy apartments I've lived in.

How I'm planning my weekend to be.

I'll be at the middle time slot. This should be pretty good!

I hope prices immediately come down on Japanese bicycle tires and Chuck Taylors because I could really use a set of both.

please don't talk to me about "maxxing" anything www.404media.co/we-have-lear...

Finally sitting down to a Sazerac and a veg Creole. Long day... Happy Mardi Gras!

Had a dream that led me to listen to 'Maggot Brain' as soon as I woke up.

It's been such a long week that I forgot to put a measure of vermouth in my martini.

send this to ur valentine 💘

Thinking about one of my favorite restaurants in Knoxville, Señor Taco. I miss the mustachioed taco.

Getting crossfaded on seven flowers tea and a lil weed while watching the curling. Crazy times, lemme tell ya!

I'm exactly on edibles enough to think this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

This is my favorite Olympics article yet and it isn't even close.

Man, I've really taken to this curling in the Olympics. Every night around this time I put on my cozy shirt (a ratty Sears flannel from the 70s), make my fancy tea, take the edibles and just tuck into it. Sometimes I even wear a toque inside. This is niiiice.
