Now is the winter of our groaning. www.jaysacher.com/news/2026/4/...

The Pope is soft on crime though.

I like that Hungary’s new prez looks like he could be in The Housemartins.

Maybe Bezos doesn't remember the part of the story where Prometheus gets condemned to have his guts ripped out by eagles over and over again for all eternity.

My new RoboPope will not be weak on crime.

My take on the dog discourse is we should all enact a utopian society where dogs can go wherever they want, but counter that with enlightened attitude that it would be better off for all involved if they didn't.

Cool now let’s bring back Sounds, Burritoville, Kiev, and Michael and Zoe’s…

I await my own personal Harrowing of Pizza Purgatory, in which I release all the righteous pagan pizzas. www.jaysacher.com/news/2026/4/...

Reading “Healing from Narcissistic Abuse” by a friend of mine, Dr Daksha Hirani, and am struck by this narcissism checklist…

The more one is aware of performance, the more one becomes performative. Is complete removal from all social media the only way to break the cycle?

From today's Publisher's Lunch...the industry is on a race to destroy itself.

Of all the Hope/Crosby movies, "Road to Hyrule" was my favorite. www.jaysacher.com/news/2026/3/...

More masterful pages from farel...

parkways...driveways... www.jaysacher.com/news/2026/3/...

spring procedures. www.jaysacher.com/news/2026/3/...

it's like these mofos are doing everything they can to speed up peak oil.

I have a soft spot for a Barclay episode.

In my slow divorce from Spotify, I've been loading up music from an old hard drive, and iTunes is making some delightful choices for album art, like this #NewPornographers album going full sexy tennis movie soundtrack:

One thing I miss about NYC living is that first warm night in spring when everybody collectively goes bananas.

In the beginning was the Wordle. www.jaysacher.com/news/2026/3/...

I am making the bold, aspirational choice of putting away my parka for the year.

Such a joy to be raising two children in a world where Americans will be welcome nowhere, trusted by no nation, failing economically, environmentally degraded, technologically outpaced, and chock full of preventable diseases, but it was worth it to keep trans women out of sports.

Funny, since these black-robed stooges have caused endless chaos (short and long term) over the past decade enshrining their conservative monarchy...

They're going full Poochie...

Paging Joyce Carol Oates...

For fuck’s sake. There are so many vipers it’s hard to keep track of them all.

I lived in Portland ME for a few years about a decade ago, and the Somali community and the diversity it brought was such a point of pride to so many. This is horrible.

These two bought out dipshits are like if Francis from Pee Wee Herman was chopped into two people and regrown in a lab.

fuck this. everyone of these crooks has got to go.

Well maybe Mickey shouldn't be living in the Parthenon.

Schumer's lily-livered response a "let's tap the brakes on this sort of thing."

Last night, I listened to a great In Our Time episode about Lysenkoism and the absolute disaster it engendered in the USSR. All I can think about is our current dipshit RFK Jr. as a modern day Lysenko...

It’d be cool if we could get Peter Coyote to narrate everything.

Mad Men Season 8, Don lands the Parmigano account. While at a cocktail party in Rome, an old lady gives Don the evil eye and spits on him, ruining his chances of bedding a Claudia Cardinale-esque actress. www.vulture.com/article/parm...

For reasons that have become obscure to our family, we don't have a microwave, and when I neecd to heat up the morning's coffee, I have to put in a pan and then ladle it back into my cup, which makes me realize that coffee is I suppopse a kind of soup.

I wonder what Douglas Adams would make of LLMs?

I live in a small-ish enough town that my preferred candidate for mayor came to my door yesterday while out canvassing. At least on a small scale, democracy is still breathing.

These two ding dongs, each speaking to an audience of one.

Are bay leaves bullshit?

I realize this is probably a "me" problem, but I don't enjoy people just shooting the breeze on hours-long podcasts. Even people who are talented breeze shooters. The cratered media landscape has more or less reinvented drive-time radio, fuzzed out background noise.

Rogan and Kimmel, standing like opposing titans atop the smoking ruins of American culture. One in league with dark forces, the other a purveyor of anodyne humor not sufficiently anodyne enough. Didn't these two used to host a show where ladies jumped on trampolines, a befuddled nation asks...

Getting my shingles vax at the stop and shop pharmacy. Ebony and Ivory is playing on the PA. Occurs to me I think I only know the lyrics to SNL Piscopo/Murphy parody. youtu.be/0h2jZtuRuic?...

yes that times article about AI Chat bots is disturbing and depressing, but this line is hilarious.

Trying to think who I'd want to see debate a human mind.

War Pigs is a fine number no doubt about it, but it's a shame that Ozzy couldn't come up with something to rhyme "masses" with other than "masses."

To what extent do cats know that we clean the litter box for them? I mean, they certainly know when it's been cleaned, but I wonder if they grasp the causation.

The age that I am, I have certain inevitable cultural blindspots, one being that I have no idea who Pete Davidson is, except that he's some guy with tattoos. If pressed, I'd say he's the dude from that britpop band who dated Kate Moss.

this is sad news, but at least it's not a heart attack ack ack ack ack!
