I don't know what led me to Peter Gabriel's blog, but: "I was delighted that ‘I Have the Touch‘ was chosen for the soundtrack of Marty Supreme. The song is rarely asked out for a dance and I have always loved table tennis."

Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but here goes: In high school my art teacher told me I didn’t know how to draw because cartooning wasn’t real art. I have wanted to be in The New Yorker Magazine since I was 19. I’m 53 and this happened yesterday:

Christmas night: "But Santa, you've hardly touched your Zardoz cookies."

Do you ever watch video reviews of products you already own, and just silently go, "Yeah, I got that."

Mamdani w/ the most savage long-form improv burn I’ve ever heard: “I went to Magnet Theater for Improv Level One,” Mamdani said of that winter in 2017, when his eight-week course at the Chelsea theater ended in a student showcase. “I think I had dreams of going to the Upright Citizens Brigade.”

We are in peak French heist season.

Me, scoping out a new Trader Joe’s: Hans Gruber voice: “Now. I know. Where you keep. The yogurt. Covered. Pretzels.”

What’s the long German expression for when you go to see a band, expecting they’re the headliner (or headliner adjacent), and it turns out they went on first and you completely missed them?

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Zohran winning is THRILLING. Bring back being able to afford NYC as a working class person. Bring back being able to be an artist without a trustfund. We lost our city to billionaires + thats not NYC. NYC is poor people, queer people, immigrants, its underdogs + weirdos + that's what makes it great.

I cannot tell you how horror nerdboy pleased with myself I am to have accurately mused, "Blood and Black Lace?" in response to these images.

That Natalie Imbruglia song, but it's "Tron."

Bob Newhart explaining the meaning of the Lil Wayne lyric, “Real G's move in silence like lasagna.” Well…you see…eh…it’s because Gs…and, and, and…by Gs, I mean gangsters…not, I suppose…not, literal gangsters…well, you see…uh…the G in the word lasagna is…is, is…silent, you see. And so the song...”

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage. Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.

God bless you, Wallace Shawn

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Respectfully intended question: What is the difference between Rush and Yes?

This is my favourite quote from the book - in regard to filmmaking but mostly in regard to life itself. Might be one of the best quotes I’ve ever read.

Big Boi To Release Limited-Edition Washing Machine That Plays “So Fresh, So Clean” After Each Cycle

This whole thread (and yes, check out his excellent podcasts and book)

This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.

I will say the thing that AI does really well is emulate that precise feeling of meeting someone new, and they seem amiable and pretty verbose, but over the course of the conversation you start to realize that they’re very stupid.

Graphic designer Joe Caroff passed away yesterday at age 103. Responsible for absolutely legendary posters and typefaces. www.printmag.com/daily-heller...

Horror a movie title with one word: You Can Count Dracula on Me

John Singer Sargent: "He's, like, this playboy gynecologist. I'm going to paint him in this fabulous red robe-y thing. And just between us, people are saying he *might* be shtupping a girl from one of my other paintings." "MADAME X?!!!" "I don't know! It's just what people are saying!" "Greenlit."

I’m feeling abstract / Baby, are you abstract? (I love this album)

For anyone who liked the latest #Superman movie, the recent animated "My Adventures with Superman" series on Max is equally delightful. You're welcome!

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

What’s the best opening track to an album? “Since You’re Gone” by The Cars is really up there for me.

Anti-Procrastination = Wait Resistance

Jack Kirby's prescience working overtime.

AFSP strongly denounces today’s action by Congress to enact deep cuts to Medicaid, jeopardizing access to mental health and substance use care for millions of Americans. We urge lawmakers to reverse course and protect Medicaid access. Read: afsp.org/story/americ... #AFSPadvocacy

From American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s @afspnational.bsky.social statement on the Reconciliation Bill: "…Health insurance is essential for affording health care – and that includes mental health care...The cuts in this bill will do seismic damage to #mentalhealth care in every state."

What have you done to separate the art from the artist today? I have to admit, today I had to use a little force. But the easel is perfectly safe, I kept reassuring him.

Saw “The Phoenician Scheme” last night, and at first it was same-old Wes-And design scheme, but then (was it me?) it started giving Bertolucci, and then a little Powell & Pressburger, and I was all like, BOW, KLAM, KAZAM

Anyone who doesn’t love the Ewoks is just being a hater for absolutely no reason

Shameful. Here’s a petition shared by the @trevorproject.bsky.social CEO on LinkedIn. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pr...

Could not be more excited to see Deltron 3030 in October...

Number of minutes it takes Jarvis Cocker to work the word “knickers” into the lyrics of the new Pulp album: about 12 or 13

I just exceeded the maximum playlist size of my YouTube “Watch Later” folder. I didn’t even know that was possible. I feel…scolded?

Christopher Owens playing “No Good” from his thrillingly titled album “I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair” at Elsewhere

In "Peanuts," Snoopy first adopted his insouciant, sunglasses-sporting Joe Cool persona on May 27, 1971.

I don’t share this very often, but you guys deserve it.

This is heartbreaking. I met Dave just recently, and even from a few meetings and emails, he was instantly so warm & likable. I feel cheated that I won’t get to know him better. Sending love to all who knew him. It’s not fair.

Zoop it up for a good cause! (Suicide prevention!) For anyone who hasn't jumped on board the story of "A Haunted Girl" yet, this extended, deluxe edition is the perfect chance. So grateful for @ethansacks.bsky.social & Naomi's support of @afspnational.bsky.social
