wait til you see the review for Shine On by Jet

For American Theatre I spoke to a whole mess of people in the new play world about what has and hasn't changed over the last two decades since the study Outrageous Fortune sought to comprehensively document the problems in the New Play sector (1/???): www.americantheatre.org/2026/05/11/s...

It is pretty wild to see Zionists freak out about this article when, in 2024, there was a large "right to rape" protest in Israel. The protest succeeded in making the prosecution drop charges, and one of the perpetrators is now a star on Israeli reality TV.

I am begging people to get new material. Social media-induced cultural stasis is depriving us of the fresh new conspiracy theories that are our birthright as Americans.

bracing for everyone to overrate this movie like they did mandy and beyond the black rainbow. panos fraudmatos strikes again

friendship ENDED with VAR. now NO VAR is my best friend

slightly increase a band 10,000 maniacs but all of them are 0.5” taller

completely forgot the phrase "special interests" used to refer to issue-based activist groups and lobbyists, and not "something an autistic or adhd person is super into"

This would definitely get play at college dorm pregames www.youtube.com/watch?v=i97P...

95% sure I ended up in copywriting because I loved reading the back of cereal boxes when I was 6. when my parents gave me cereal I always requested a side of “box look.”

You know like in Star Wars, with that guy you love, Threepo Beepo or whatever the fuck

i wonder what other dumbass nostalgia bait we could all fall insanely hard for. most millennial pasta noodle? no, bad prompt, no debate there. it's unquestionably cavatappi. no need to even entertain other options

my uncles, tupelo and cracker, are asking me once again for weed in these trying times

my large son Wilco

Well, I ain't often right but I've never been wrong. It seldom turns out the way it does in the song. Once in a while you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right.

i’ll give you a hint. it starts: “hit that hit that snare”

the problem with my sleeveless dean ambrose t shirt is if I wear it with jeans it becomes a de facto dean ambrose costume

I had to root for arsenal to beat west ham today. feel like I just ate a cereal bowl full of radium

happy mothers day

Kruk proclaims that “Marx failed to consider Gritty, which is why he is more relevant than ever”

John Kruk just called Gritty a “fake Leftist” and “Anarkiddie”

i forced my homunculus into mandarin lessons against his will and he has become sullen and indifferent towards his studies. feeling like a bad alchemist

gonna ask if they can put the Knicks game on in the background of the AA meeting

Looked at NYC theater listings. Ballroom drag CATS? Interactive PHANTOM OF THE OPERA? What year IS this? 1989?! Where's the immersive LES MIZ? Where audiences beat the ruling class to death w loaves of bread? The Vietnamese MISS SAIGON, where every performance is shut down before the overturture?

me: the gym is a beautiful place because no matter your background—race, religion, language, gender, sexuality, age, class—the weights treat us all equally. 100lbs is 100lbs for everyone. my wife: post that for the swine on BlueSky they’ll eat that slop up

me if you even care

mike tirico should sue the producers for using his life rights without compensation

happy Barton Hall 1977 Day to all who celebrate! here's a pitchfork article about the Dead's May '77 concert box set. if you're dead-curious, these shows are the best place to start (besides Bickershaw Fest, May 7th 1972 and Veneta, OR, august 27th 1972). pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

can someone please pay me $50 to write an article about whether or not lefty americans rooting against the USMNT in the world cup constitutes "revolutionary defeatism" or not

really hate "generational trauma." not the concept itself, but the way it's used as a buzzword. it's grating to me idk why

thinking about The Stockdale Paradox lately. i don't agree with that dude on most things, but: "You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be."

the courts might be the most demoralizing aspect of politics and that's saying something. so many good people organize and work to affect change, and it all gets thrown out by a bunch of dorks in wizard robes. and when the robe dorks get it right it just reinforces that they hold all the cards

invoicing my college for a tuition refund. i wasted my time in the US Government major learning about the Constitution when they should've taught me "lol do whatever you want laws aren't real nothing matters"

steely dan makes "yacht rock" but specifically for Robert Maxwell's yacht

what’s the name of the flag burning guy I wanna buy him a beer

the first brooklyn barista to make a playlist of soul songs that ended up as famous hip hop samples must’ve felt so slick

life and its rigors have kept me from cheerleading enough for our shows but I want to tell you how fantastic this play is and i am urging you to find tickets for it now!!!

may 7th is the anniversary of the grateful dead's 1972 show at the Bickershaw Festival, Wigan, UK. if you're dead-curious, this is a great gateway live album. they play a mix of hits, fan favorites, and long jams like "dark star" and "the other one." open.spotify.com/album/2dey7k...

rip ted turner, i liked watching the wrestling you paid for

capybara at the psychologist

i'm a huge fan of ed zitron's newsletter but he needs a better editor. no reason for these posts to be 15,000 words every time and still full of copy errors

today is the anniversary of MCA's death, so I wrote a little newsletter about stories of the past. www.anxietyshark.ca/like-an-emce...

there grotto be a claw - slogan for a place called Claw Grotto

Forgot that I did this the other day

the big takeaway here is that more people need to listen to my podcast

look, im a big defender of dirtbag left types, but we need to acknowledge that a lot of em have the cultural tastes of a 14 year old. I never want to hear about how Casino and Metal Gear Solid are the definitive anticapitalist art of the 90s again
