We’re eliminating the verb “to pen” from our collective word hoard

Ok I admit a little bit of residual GenX jumped out when I saw this

Seeing as we’re slipping into a little bit of a dark age in which technical wonders are attended by spiritual coarsening, mounting credulousness, and indifference to truth, people—I, we, whoever—are going to have to be a lot more intentional about what they do/make to transmit the things they value

This is pretty incredible archive.org/details/aada...

When Martha comes in on the chorus of Rufus Wainwright’s cover of One Man Guy - still does it for me

Is “have a good rest of your day” uniquely southern or is it just a standard American customer service goodbye?

It will be a little bit funny if after all these years this is how Helen Dewitt breaks containment

People with so much money they never have to work again are going to have to become archaeologists and philologists again. No more computer. Go to Crécy and make yourself useful. Bring a friend.

The way we found out that most people are stupid is terrifying.

I remember seeing this happening in the early noughties and it made a lot of sense to me at the time. There was never much separating a hardcore crustpunk in Columbia or Birmingham and a bluegrass crustpunk from Asheville or Boone. Just an accident of geography

All the integralist power fantasies of the last decade only managing to give real political power to Doug Wilson of all people would be funny if it weren’t real

Looks like guitar bands really are back and the vanguard are European theater kids. Good for them.

My entire timeline every time bluesky glitches

You can still make dinner while you listen to Pinback’s self titled debut (1999). It’s not too late. Hell, have a Modelo.

“Hell will reign” is obviously a Freudian slip from the Beast of the Apocalypse

When most athletes/coaches say God caused this game's outcome: that's probably not how it works When Dawn Staley says it about the game that made Geno poop his pants: won't He do it 🙌

I could never hate Alien Resurrection because its existence led to the immortal phrase "Too bad, Joss Whedon!"

Puttered around late in a dusty archive tonight. I see how people get into this.

I know I bring this up a lot, but I am so annoyed at the romanticizing of the 1990s. "I'm raising my kids like it's the 90s, so that means no screens, no shuttling them around to a million extra curriculars, and no artificial ingredients." Bitch do you mean the 1790s

(Patting the seat) come…rest…join me on the bench at the edge of the ravine

By the end of this year I would like to have one item or wall in my house that’s arsenic green

Excellent $5 thrift store find

Cassandra Jenkins scratches a very particular cosmic American music itch for me. Where have all the Cowboy Junkies gone?

I’m still ambivalent about Helen Oyeyemi’s whole deal but Gingerbread really works imo

I don’t think it’s fair that birds can just do that

This is just disingenuous trad-influencer posting, especially the op. "oh, this modern world is too much for me. I yearn for simpler times." Grow up.
