Shaming works! After I told the woman seated in front of me that her phone was very bright and distracting, she managed to keep it in her lap for two whole songs before resuming her vertical video filming, but she leaned over to be less in my line of sight.

woke 1 made the mistake of making people think it was problematic to make fun of healing crystals and astrology. woke 2 must be focused on the destruction of white shamanism

someone please make Psychos, Come To The Beach into a bop. this could be song of the summer

Cake’s first album is twice as old now as Rumours was when Bill Clinton was using “Don’t Stop” in 1992

This is a really good episode! It got me thinking about the types of stories that scare me (basically "regular person does a crime and is so bad at crime and is so gonna get caught") and then guess what kind of nightmare I had last night. So this podcast actually scared me!!

Gorilla Playing Saxophone with Balloons has dropped out of the White House concert

Kids today don’t even know what it is to remember the exact date they first heard a song, in their bedroom at night after getting home from a rare family trip to the city and thus the big Tower Records that carried imports. This post is about hearing a Belle & Sebastian ep on February 1st 1999.

Chicago folks, you must go to this show. Both for the self-evident reasons that can be easily gleaned from the quoted post, but also because "the opener" will be "me"

I will be out of town, but you KNOW this is gonna be a good show.

doodled this as I was dozing off last night, it’d be like a PC Gamer magazine ad in 1999?

Wyld Stallyns has pulled out of Freedom 250 after learning that the concert didn't take place in the year 250.

Researchers have identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation. https://scim.ag/4nTQ3nq

Perched quietly above the shoreline, this purple martin looked almost unreal in the soft coastal light tonight. Its feathers shifted between deep violet, cobalt, and midnight blue depending on how the light hit them.

BREAKING: Janice, last surviving member of rock group Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem, disavows any connections to 250th anniversary concert promoted by WH 👇

This felt like the show's "Lost" Black Rock episode, which may not be a compliment to you but is to me

If anyone wants a single 2-day GA pass, make me an offer, and don’t worry about it being insulting

Widow’s Bay is giving me something I didn’t know I needed: Stephen Root dressed like my dad. Just select all “New England” and replace with “Indiana”

Keith’s loss could be your gain! (Tom and I will be there both nights)

The rollercoaster THRILL of reading Judy Blume books and thinking that menstruation involved wearing a special belt with hooks, and then learning that they make self-adhesive pads now. We can't take this from kids

this is so disrespectful to the intellectual capacity and curiosity of children. unreal

I think about Horse Party Time a lot, too!

STOP TELLING ME AI IS THE FUTURE OH MY GOD

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

i think that everyone knows not to use u-line for record storage supplies by this point but JUST IN CASE

Obviously there are way too many hateful people doing it on spec but I really don’t think there are as many as it seems. They gotta pay people lots of money to trick lots of people into hating trans people.

I think I know my own footprints, Jesus

Just pre-ordered this at my local! I'm so excited to read it.

we’re sooooooo close to the bubble popping in ai i can literally taste it

Would love to see more Indigenous author subs this August. All indigeneity, and colonials don't have to feauture. As with all authors, they can put as much or as little of their identity in their story as they like. I just want to hear what they have to say. newedgeswordandsorcery.com/submissions/

Millennials: we have got to start talking up the Financial Crisis. The Greatest Generation dined out on the Great Depression for 80 years. If we’re not all out there talking about how we had to have five roommates and sell our plasma to buy ringtones I’m worried we’ll be missing our shot

I do not post to be part of a political project or engage in the town square. I post so people will tell me I’m funny and pretty

We’re watching a Big Joel video about Bill Maher and one thing that strikes me is that no one likes him enough to tell him to get his glasses adjusted. These frames are so askew on his damn skull. Minor version of Glinner’s problem. Is this a transphobe progression?

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

This has happened so many times that it barely elicits any response from me now.
