What none of these dumb fucks are understanding about autism is that it makes you very interesting to the intergalactic hunter known as the Predator. Once again, conservatives fail to consider actual threats

My man David Byrne released a new album this month

Everyone watching and reposting that podcast dork’s funeral would eat human shit if it was served to them. Go outside! Hug someone! Literally do anything else, losers! Put that jackass in the dustbin of history where he belongs.

You know he was saying stuff like “Tonight’s episode of din din is somewhat unique and calls for an entirely different sort of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a bottle of milk”

ShartGPT. Got em

He’s right

not beating the "conservatives' brains are fucking Swiss cheese" allegations

Delighted to find out that one of my favorite bands has an account on here, and am once again foolishly manifesting that I may someday be called upon for the appropriate shepherding of their catalogue in box set or reissue form. Dozens of B-sides not yet streaming!

(Hackiest stand-up voice you’ve ever heard) Olivia Nuzzi’s back in the news…she’s gonna be an editor for Vanity Fair! Who’d she have to sleep with to get that job??? Other than RFK Jr., of course

KR4M3R Vs. KR4M3R

"Charlie Kirk's iconic Starbucks order" This is like when rights holders are desperate to cash in on an obscure IP and they start saying things like "Fans have always wanted to explore the origin story of the Michelin Man. How did he become tires?"

Doooooooooo hoo hoo hooo

If the estate is being truthful it’s probably in the best interest of all to drop; that said, it’s funny to (even rightfully) pursue an Apollonia 6 trademark when that album and 20+ others controlled by the estate don’t even have a distro deal in place

It’s obviously just bad timing, but it’s REALLY funny imagining they pulled the ripcord on that Muppet Show announcement to take the heat off some other shit going on in the Disney boardroom

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

how can you be this afraid of death when you clearly don't enjoy living your life

Earlier this month, I had a really nice conversation for @theseconddisc.bsky.social with A.J. Croce, who today is embarking on a tour where he’ll play the songs of his late father Jim. Great insights from him on musical interpretation, grief and future plans for his dad’s work.

Extremely relevant to a certain type of reader, particularly if you’re in Los Angeles: a venue is showing TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. with Wang Chung performing their score live to picture! www.ticketmaster.com/to-live-and-...

Chris Pratt, of course, went on to co-star in Parks and Recreation, unfortunately dying of natural causes after production and having his identity auctioned off to lookalike and born-again Christian Rhys Brumple of Smoker’s Pole, Virginia

Lmao I ate at the Rao’s (as in the store bought sauce brand) in LA; it was mostly memorable for the boss sidling up to my sisters-in-law and going “DIS IS A GQ TABLE” and every third fucking song being by Billy Joel nymag.com/intelligence...

The backlash to The Thing That Happened is tiring me enough that I’m going from “ethically, I wish The Thing Hadn’t Happened” to “More Things Need to Happen until y’all shut da fuck up and go piss your pants elsewhere”

also Redford as the man likely to finally defeat Nixon in 1988, in "Watchmen"

There sure was a lot of pushback last year to my NYT op-ed arguing that PE-backed music catalog deals might result in pop culture cannibalizing itself www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

I’ve had an itch to rewatch The Sting, this may be the night to do so

Both he and Newman were exactly what famous actors should be: concerned with doing good work and getting good films made, displaying an affection and love for art, having fun hobbies, giving lots of their time and money to help people and not being a complete piece of shit in their personal life RIP

I don't even watch much TV, but I was reading Alan as a kid in The Star-Ledger just to read, so this is personal. No medium neads a "dean of American critics" but fewer television takes are more thoughtful and you can TAKE that to the BANK

Wrote with active disinterest; Xavier and Magneto mostly spend the pages sniping about music like they’re in a worse High Fidelity

EXCLUSIVE: we found and interviewed the 12-year-old who named Bill Maher's podcast CLUB RANDOM

I know @mja004.bsky.social asked me the other day my thoughts on the Around the World in a Day reissue and this Onion-ass headline made me realize I wanted to unpack a few things 🧵

SORRY to be a SIMP for my WIFE but she co-hosts a podcast that had an Emmy winner on it last year (when he wasn't an Emmy winner, but still)

If I'm looking at your box set's track list with an online store order page, a label discography and someone else's reporting on the contents and I STILL can't tell what's on it, you have Made a Mess

Opinions about this are a dime a dozen (even with all the conservative freaks coming for people's jobs for speaking out - joke's on you mfs, I'm a freelancer) but it's a good reminder to myself that, immaterial to decades of crap I dealt with in my upbringing, compassionate churchfolk speak truth

The posts and replies here really underline how nutso it is that Warner's big Looney moves of the last decade were "I dunno, Space Jam 2?" and selling off two feature-length projects that understand how these 70-80 year old cartoons are embedded in everyone's head Manchurian Candidate style

“We out here”

The ancient legends spoke of a time when Apple's desktop Music app worked largely the way you wanted it to

Someday “the phrase that pays” is going to be the phrase that pays, and it’s going to be a confusing day for everyone.

Who

I love Emo so much. Devastatingly funny and also quite kind. What a happy reminder of both today.

"My body is so sore! And I'm freezing! Why is that?" -my forgetful ass, not 12 hours after getting a COVID booster

This but for classic pop/rock compilations. Got a lotta people mad that the new Wings comp doesn’t have anything new on it like man they just saved you $25, this is for someone new. Hold the door open for them

Four seasons, virtually memory-holed, never streaming, not even sure if good - but I irrationally have a lot of memories as a pre-teen watching David E. Kelley's Boston Public. I feel like if Tubi got Max Headroom rights that'd kill too

I see two - maybe three, depending on your POV - generous, broad readings of "biopic" here

At a rally against a fracked plant less than a mile from our apartment at the time a few years back, I first saw Zohran speak and, for the first time in my life, felt like I could face the need for climate action without just crying. I will be signing at the link in the thread and urge you to too

Just realized I sent my resume and cover letter in and everything said “POOP music.” My face is BEET red right now

The one thing proven by the shooter details: Connie was right

You can do whatever you want with your time, but I am sad so many friends did not make the jump here (I've got double the followers I did on X and yet half the discussion), and the constant reminder of what's going on over on that app is like checking an ex's posts: not healthy.

Then YOU write the article next time

In a quiet moment on the way home, I am reminded how big the world really is; how much life exists in places we cannot see; how we must carry the light of love forward no matter how wearying. Sorry for doing a poem, I just had a soda
