I'm enjoying the Wimpy Kid books with my daughters, but I keep thinking Greg definitely grows up to be maga.

In The Minutemen's 'Viet Nam' the war's end was about as distant as the start of the first Trump admin is today.

This goes for chefs too, fyi.

Poindexter here, walking into Jack in the Box.

criterion down on sunday night time for a class action lawsuit

Lol. Not even Cuomo has suggested he'll be moving anything "forward".

When I see a perfect wig.

When my kids start singing "Golden" or whatever instead of brushing their teeth, either my wife or I start with "This is a distraction..." and the other finishes with "...from kitchen table issues."

The Dodgers Hudsucker name lineup vs the Blue Jays GenX nostalgia namers.

Sometimes I can't believe this is my job. A guy sat down with a platter of shrimp and a pepper grinder and starts grinding away. When I tell him to take it to the café area he yells at me that the sign says cold finger foods and asked me if I have OCD. Sir you're eating shrimp in a library.

@snipy.bsky.social making the big time!

Like AOC was a bartender, as sneering elitists love to remind us, she just doesn’t code as working-class because she’s not constantly getting her head stuck in empty cookie jars

Is ICE going to raid the ballroom construction site?

I'd boycott the US, but that's basically just bluesky for me and I'd miss you guys.

I may be the only one with "Prove It" as my #1.

*Sighs and makes Mateta captain on his fantasy team.

I love the "Weapons is streaming!" posts followed by the "WTF" self-reply 100 minutes later.

I have something different in the results but the overture from "Das Rheingold" in both Herzog's Nosferatu and Malick's The New World.

People like to talk about Glonzoism and then say things like "who cares about the White House."

... find yourself a city to live in.

Hey! We used the same elevator thingy to move into our apartment as the Louvre thieves. 👀

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

FRIEND FROM COLLEGE: After I sold my tech company, I moved to France where I met my wife, Juliette. We have three beautiful kids and run a bed & breakfast in Paris ME: Remember how I used to like creamy peanut butter? Now I like chunky

American Years of Chud

Well well well

There's also good social media brain poisoning. 5 things I found on Bluesky currently poisoning my brain: Jean Rollin Luciano Berio, especially "Sinfonia" Blindsight, Peter Watts Nico & Tangerine Dream concert, Reims Cathedral 13/12/1974 Jennifer Roberts' 3-hour art immersion challenge

Also: Miles Davis. Story from a bass player subbing in his band.

Everybody loves Matthew Schaefer

The day we turned off comments on tQ was a happy day, though it was sad to lose this comment left by Diamanda Galás, which is one of the greatest comments left on any comments section ever.

This is quite a read!

I recommend watching it slouched on your back on the floor holding up a robot puppet, but that's just my experience.

A decade of “Listen to us you fucking idiots, you morons, we understand how to wrangle this poisonous bullshit, let us fix this with our genius skillz, you dumbass shitheads, you swine”, and here we now are and nobody can explain.

If we're going to argue about candidates we can't vote for, can we spend some of that time on François Ruffin (and Zach Polanski).

It is demonstrably incredibly possible to be a straight white cis guy who is a very good person and ally, which means the bigoted assholes are very much making a *choice*

EUROSTAR GOES DOUBLE-DECK: Eurostar confirms order for 30 new double-deck trains from Alstom, similar to TGV-M, with option for 20 more, in service from May 2031. The 200m sets can run to/from London as 2 x 200m with 1,080 seats. (Another move in the Battle for Temple Mills...)

For me the Pod Save v Bluesky Nazi tattoo debate is very much a Let the Voters Decide moment. Not because I don't have an opinion, but because I'm pretty sure the voters have a chance to embarrass the "working class champions" here.

Set Piece FC

That's gonna have an impact on Raya's highly coveted @arseblog.com player ratings I'm afraid.

Pauline Kael’s game-changing ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ review was published in The New Yorker on this day in 1967. Still like this piece about its impact:

Lol. Genx kids didn't have a "nazi phase", they waited until adulthood.

Letterboxd but for paintings and sculptures

Phases of reading hard science fiction: 1) total incomprehension 2) slow understanding; curiosity piqued 3) buy-in; thrill 4) disappointment at a) the lame conclusion OR b) the understanding that there is to be a lengthy sequel

It's difficult to choose my favourite moment from this conversation between two very smart creators, but I'm going with "Janelle Monae casually talks about traveling back in time and Lucy Dacus just accepts this as something Janelle Monae can do".

That Carrie Fisher picture with Peter Weller is great, but did anyone ever call Weller's homemade yogurt "the semen of the gods"? Checkmate, Robocop.

Look, give the guy a chance. I'm sure the finished ballroom will be elegant and crafted with the finest workmanship. It's his brand.

Let your haters be your satyrs at the drunken orgy of success
