Doing a special show on @wprb during the final week of the Quite Fall Pledge Drive. pledge.wprb.com

I’ve never seen Eastbound & Down but I have algorithm’d my way into accidentally watching the fixins blooper almost 8000 times

Good reporting, HOWEVER!!! I hate the phrase “school choice.” What it really means is “forced resegregation”

Thank you weed gummy website for that solemn email of remembrance on 9/11.

Hey Philly get your Wawa hoagies locked & loaded!

Just sitting in my parked car listening to different versions of Neil Young’s Human Highway thinking about the inevitability of death and drinking iced coffee. A regular ol’ Wednesday.

During the hotly-anticipated Season Two premiere of Twin Peaks (a 2-hour episode directed by David Lynch), one of the commercial breaks was taken up by this trailer for the Coen Brothers' 3rd feature film, Miller's Crossing. This trailer is so good. I used to watch it over and over.

Senator Saval nails it in this video. Reallocating transit capital funds is service cuts by another name.

Mark is a sweetie. Help him out if you can and get a bonkers lost Harry Pussy recording in return.

Rest in peace to Tom Lehrer, man…

Dick Allen HoF plaque. It’s about time.

Cool cool cool cool have you ever considered offering good policies though?

In the fifth grade we watched a sex ed video in health class on the ol’ tv cart. My uncle had just remarried and I recognized his step-son/my step cousin as a young actor in the video. His big line was, “If everyone else’s is bigger than mine does that mean I’m less of a man?”

This is 100% true. A majority of children’s TV is mind numbing aggressive IP slop with zero educational, social, or emotional value. The visual equivalent of Cheetos - addictive and with zero nourishment. PBS is our only hope.

I would with all sincerity read a book about the history of conventions. I mean there are massive buildings devoted to housing these huge conventions about practically everything all over the world. How did we get here?!

I really, really like movies, but WTF is Cinemacon?!

Had to get some blood work so I stopped by Wills Eye Hospital’s alley where The Fall were photographed in June of ‘81 before a show at the Omni which wound up on cover of A Part of America Therein. #thefall #philadelphia

For the hell of it here’s a thread of recent-ish @bandcamp.com favorites from my collection. First brand new from the almighty Siltbreeze label Philly based post-punk band Eraser bring us good tunes for bad times siltbreeze.bandcamp.com/album/eraser...

“Good news, I’ve finally found a collection of premier-league cretins who make you lot look like the team that broke Enigma at Bletchley.”

I have to do two-factor authentication on like three different apps to see which SiriusXM shows and specials I should promote on my show and I feel like the war plans of the United States of America should be at least as secure as the schedule for the John Mayer channel.

well this is fun! primal @actualylt.bsky.social on closing night at folk city in march 1986, dave schramm on guitar & dave lewis on bass, including dylan’s “she’s your lover now” & tunes by @taralkey.bsky.social, the stones, MC5, twinkeyz, & more (plus toddophonic sighting!) youtu.be/0ov2C1Wkup0?...

The inclusion of this Christgau quote on the OBI strip of the Perfect Teeth anniversary reissue is <chef’s kiss>

Jesus fucking Christ! You can’t put the genie back in the bottle Charles!

Schumer told Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater: “Here’s my hope … after this election, when the Republican party expels the turd of Donald Trump, it will go back to being the old Republican party.” www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly two weeks. Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there."

the clearest proof Jackie Robinson was one of the most consequential people in history is that nearly a century after he started playing baseball, cowards are still working tirelessly to shut him up

My new favorite thing to do while cooking is chant “Mustard Vinaigrette” to the tune of “Warm Leatherette”. youtu.be/S5QErPDNcj4?...

February 9, 1991: Diane Keaton's episode of Twin Peaks airs. (S2E15) It is often cited as one of the worst episodes of the entire series (I disagree -- I think S2E12 is the worst!) but I personally think Keaton's direction is fun. I am gonna do a thread now of GIFs & clips, all from that episode.

Hello, I’m a disruptor, very smart, here to create efficiency. I’m just going to drill holes in the bottom of this boat to see which parts of the hull are mission-critical.

It's cute and fun when senators act like Social Security is only for retired people, like it's a future speculative thing for people with 401ks to worry about, and not something about 15M disabled people & our families, mostly living below the poverty line, rely on in the current present moment

For @newrepublic.com, I wrote about the administration is cynically using the issue of antisemitism to attack higher ed, free speech/assembly, and due process, how some Jews sincerely support this, and why they are wrong newrepublic.com/article/1925...

Went to my local Rite Aid to pick up a prescription for my son and they’re in the middle of putting almost everything in the store locked up behind glass. A truly depressing hellscape.

I warned you.
