We've been planning this pairing for YEARS. So happy to finally get to blurble on about Xavier de Maistre's weird little book with Suzanne.

it would actually be cool if @bythebywater.bsky.social were nominated

Either Basquiat or Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys.

This seemed like my inevitable end.

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped

Gotta say, my Bluesky feed is filled with trans literary exuberance; from my outsider perspective, the scene seems energizing and enthusiastic. Anyway, this article/review was compelling!

Can we help our pals @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social expand their programming and build a fabulous workshop? crowdfundr.com/littleghosts...

A few moments of proper internet bliss here.

Technology Connections knocking it out of the park in this one. Twice.

After great pain, an admin feeling comes —

Hunh, YouTube recommended this today, can’t imagine why. https://youtu.be/jKVnur5DkdI?si=NKhrUrkFh4z_I8SV

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

For a second I thought @dropout.tv managed to get Miss Piggy on Very Important People.

Let’s see if Mikey can drive in the snow and be a friend.

oh no, i may have finally written baby's first cryptic crossword, what have i done

Servo and Crow tried to bring WAITING FOR GORGO to Broadway but producers balked when they heard it was only three minutes long.

Revisiting this old cover of John Prine that @wordgarbler.bsky.social and I did in the early days of the pandemic. Makes me tear up. music.youtube.com/watch?v=hE5-...

A chill night hanging out with @wordgarbler.bsky.social and playing Night in the Woods! Come join us www.twitch.tv/megaphonicfm

If you live in Toronto, I'm curating a series of music docs at @hotdocs.bsky.social this year, starting with The Devil and Daniel Johnson at the end of the month! See you there? hotdocs.ca/whats-on/fil...

There are many ways to torture @erlking.bsky.social some of which we will explore tonight

Why is every version of R.E.M.'s song Catapult on Apple Music wrong? (The versions on Spotify are correct, the versions on YouTube are correct, but the versions on Apple Music have Stipe singing a weird line instead of "your mother remembers this" around 3:10!)

"illegal vs. legal" doesn't map to "evil vs. good" or "wrong vs. right"

According to my notes, I listened to exactly 666 new-to-me albums last year. So I guess that was all my bad, sorry.

I have been trying to write this puzzle for the last six months...

I've been looking forward to this one for months! Who doesn't want to talk about queer Jesus stories? Who doesn't want to do a close reading on Milton?

If you’re not busy today, you can hang out with us. If you are busy today, well, Munchie is ageless.

It’s not our latest episode but @vandroidhelsing.bsky.social and @nedraggett.bsky.social are part of the annual holiday bonus podcast the #MegaphonicFM folks put on for our Patreon subscribers. This time around: tackling the forgotten musical _Song of Norway_! www.patreon.com/megaphonic

We had so many thoughts about Grieg, but no one had more thoughts than @erlking.bsky.social, Megaphonic's own official Grieg Enjoyer. It was a delight.

One of these films I’ve seen, one I have on my list to watch this year, and one I… yeah I don’t think I’m gonna be watching that. Sounds like holidays with the Fiascos! megaphonic.fm/fiascomas

This is incredibly important. If you read one thing this week: marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-kenyan-...

In our new episode, we look at #MST3K 603, THE DEAD TALK BACK. (Or do they?) With Crow dressed up as Jerry Garcia and a short about selling cabinets to sell more ice cream, this has something for everyone. Listen at itsjustashow.com/episode/186 or on your podcast app. Enjoy!

Sometimes I read a book and wish that I was rereading it instead.

WELCOME TO THE DRACULA PAPRIKA DISCOURSE!! (meme from tumblr, not my own, original link seems to be dead now)

Let’s start a Read A Play In December Challenge!

Vladimir and Estragon's various aches and pains hit differently now than they did when I first read Waiting for Godot when I was a teenager.

A great guide, and I think a lot of non-poets would also love these ideas, especially a small press subscription! I currently have one from World Poetry and it’s amazing! worldpoetrybooks.com/subscribe

Happy Turkey Day! On Thanksgiving Day in 1988, the first episode of #MST3K aired — and now, 185 episodes into our podcast, we're ready to talk about it! We discuss K01, Invaders from the Deep, and the Supermarionation show Stingray that this "movie" comes from, over at itsjustashow.com/episode/185

I am leading @wordgarbler.bsky.social through the opening of Cyberpunk 2077 on our weekly twitch stream! www.twitch.tv/megaphonicfm

RIP, Tina Darragh. Somehow I never met her! But her chapbook "on the corner to off the corner" was huge for me, and I need to catch up on the work she did more recently.

Ah, turns out that viral post with no citations was wrong.

Let’s see if @erlking.bsky.social has what it takes to evolve into a crab as he finally tries out ANOTHER CRAB’S TREASURE. I’m along just to be crabby. twitch.tv/MegaphonicFM now!

I’m gonna finally try Thank Goodness You’re Here with @erlking.bsky.social over at twitch.tv/MegaphonicFM, join us!

Shall be doing some Jackbox trivia with @wordgarbler.bsky.social now the once, come on over www.twitch.tv/megaphonicfm

This reminded me of how fiercely protective and loyal I am to the 7 train, despite the 25 years that have passed since I moved out of NYC.

We put it off for many years, but we are finally talking about Pride and Prejudice. And I used the opportunity to say why Northanger Abbey has always had a special place in my heart — and to make room in there for a secret third book, which I finally read, and enjoyed way more than I expected!
