Oh, that's where I know him from

I’d give Andrew Thomas Huang a blank check to make a feature-length fantasy film

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner

I don’t know how this wound up on a subway screen but one thing is clear - the children yearn for Bart Simpson once more

Michael Brecker’s solo on this track might be the best bit of pop saxophoning ever recorded

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like: saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3 and a worker tier whose emails are like: Dear Jim, First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

permission to lib out your honor

To people voting in NYC today - prop 1 has confusing wording!! The sports complex it mentions has already been built and the proposal would add over a thousand acres of new protected land. Strongly recommend voting yes on it.

Anyway, Dick Cheney is a fossil fuel now. It's what he loved most. Besides killing.

Every year I play a Halloween children’s parade and this year was the first I’ve seen where you could feel the decline of monoculture - the only trend I saw was KPop Demon Hunters. Also saw dozens of dog costumes and not a single Superdog, which feels like a nail in the coffin for superheroes

New entry on the “coolest shit of my entire life” list - the Oregon State marching band did a field show with Brass Queens original tunes and invited us to join them. Hearing our music at that scale was surreal. This is a clip from our song Make Believe and the formation is our logo 🥹

I have no idea what Dave is cooking but a message to my huge following of exclusively smart, attractive people with great taste: you should buy it, whatever it is. He’s the king of music comics and his career has been one banger after another

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

If one of them had said Barbès they would have instantly gotten my vote

Brass Queens have some gigs in/near Portland over the next 2 weeks and I’ve been horrified by the lawless behavior here. Yesterday at 7am I saw a guy shaking sprinkles into a can of Pillsbury frosting and eating it with a spoon. Relieved to have troops deployed to violently deal with this behavior

Tim Heidecker putting out an apology for performing at Riyahd (he did not) is such a good bit.

This song/collab is proof that there are still blessings in this world youtu.be/3qA2zGAH4jI?...

In some ways this is the government now

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

My new most delusional belief as someone who’s not at all a Taylor Swift fan: I could’ve made the new album good. It needed to embrace the showgirl elements - horn lines, string interludes, more variety, less typical pop production, going BIG. And put someone in there who can veto bad lyrics

give greta thunberg a gundam

just guess

this is a real video eric adams posted today.. not sure he remembers he's running for mayor or what at this point

I didn’t think it was possible but somehow Erika Kirk flunked out of the Gal Gadot School of Acting

This is a dream collab youtu.be/3lRod0M_9vs?...

In retrospect, it’s kinda obvious meme culture went fascist. Fascism is, itself, *made* out of pernicious memes. “Jews secretly control the world” is a meme. “Whites are genetically more intelligent” is a meme. “Blood and soil” is a meme. “Empires are collapsed by cultural degeneracy” is a meme…

Man, imagine being young and hot when Songs in the Key of Life came out. Having I Wish in the zeitgeist?? Bliss

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Joe Sacco's comic on @comicsjournal.bsky.social: The Angel Laughs. I cannot imagine what it's like to be a journalist and cartoonist who has covered Palestine for decades. www.tcj.com/the-angel-la...

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!

Lord of the Rings was a fine movie but its gender politics were a bit iffy. wouldve been way better if at the end Gandalf turned to the camera & said "i am transgender now" & then specified hes the exact kind of dyke i am

go birds is the philadelphia version of aloha it means hello i love you and goodbye

It’s so funny seeing Orphan Black cast photos because it’s such a big ensemble show with tons of story threads that gradually connect and then you realize it was all just Tatiana Maslany and, like, 4 supporting actors

Comics and music theory

been at the eric adams scavenger hunt all day. mostly we were in a crawlspace under a house in howard beach learning “how to out-hustle the rats.” not sure what this does for the campaign

I do think it’s important for the left to infiltrate gym culture and disrupt that Jordan Peterson-y “self-improvement -> manosphere -> fascism” pipeline, but I didn’t mean Democratic politicians should post performative gym photos and call it resistance

To those who followed me because of the David Byrne video, please enjoy this video of @brassqueensnyc.bsky.social covering Strange Overtones in the mountains

Before Sunset is my vote, edges out Sunrise for me. The subtly cyclical structure is so brilliant - starting with Jesse saying he wants to write a book that takes place in the space of a song and ending with Céline saying everything he needed a novel to say in her waltz. It’s a perfect script

Carol from Todd Haynes’ Carol (2015) could have stopped this. They’d send her for a hyper-realistic baby doll and she’d come back with a train set and a hot shopgirl instead

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

my main belief on both people is that if sydney sweeney and caitlin clark went on a date it would start the second american civil war

Since this is blowing up - this is my band Brass Queens playing at C’mon Everybody in BK last night (sharing a bill with fab Selena tribute band Cinco12)! We’re local to NYC but play all over the US/Canada and I can’t promise DB will be there but I CAN promise you’ll have a blast tr.ee/YwV9F6yjcl

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

I honestly think I’d be an incredible Foley artist

“I can’t believe these movies keep making billions. Who is even seeing them?” I wonder as I climb out of a clown car with everyone I know to see it in 4DX on opening night

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

Y'all Remember to count your blessings At least we don't live in the universe where the Game of Thrones guys got to make their proposed HBO show about the Confederacy winning the Civil War
