To the people who hear “pay artists instead of using AI” and say “that’s impossible for me,” the answer is to have some dignity and get creative. Draw something shitty. Try collage. My solo album cover is a blurry polaroid I took at home. It’s not amazing but it’s mine.

*mick jagger voice* surrounded by losers dipshits and snoozers you have four legs and a tail you make everything worse you’re a very slow horse you’re stupid you’re stupid I hate you

I wonder how Jill Filipovic will feel about the paper that publishes my new opinion piece, “Jill Filipovic is Currently Holding Several Dozen Children Captive In Her Home For Sex Stuff, Here Is The Address”

Hadn’t seen this account before. I needed it. I have nothing to add to the conversation about the horrors except that it’s good to remember you’re allowed to look elsewhere sometimes.

But we, insofar as we have power over the world and over one another, we must learn to do what the leaf and the whale and the wind do of their own nature. We must learn to keep the balance.

i have a highly scientific hunch that while a genocidal gaza policy obviously hurt harris/biden's support generally, it hurt them especially with People Who Give a Shit, i.e the people who would more usually be the ones volunteering & knocking doors & making sure their friends & family vote

this is extremely fucking important, esp with what just happened in kansas. they are trying to criminalize every aspect of our existence. i try not to be alarmist about things but this is where we are and it is BAD bad

This is from HR 7661, calling itself the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act. This must not pass.

“Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate” is the hardest sentence I’ve read in a minute

There’s like one centimeter left between this logic and “it’s okay for us to kill you because we made an imaginary little guy who’s just as good”

5 authors by whom I’ve read at least 5 books: Dennis Cooper David Foster Wallace Matt Dinniman James Islington Jason Pargin

The scene in Synecdoche, NY where Tom Noonan first speaks is fucking magic. Steals the breath from your lungs twice in a row, totally changes what even feels possible for the movie to do. He’s also delightful in Monster Squad.

You don't scold someone for shouting "fire" in a crowded theater if it actually is on fire.

I'm so sick of "progressive" "leftist" people making fun of how people on the far right look. You know what? Some (maybe LOTS) of people who align with your beliefs look like shit. Some of us didn't get to come out before we got old. Didn't have the money for surgery, wardrobe, etc. And are fat.

How it started, how it is going

Half the people who violently hate Saltburn sound like Neal Brennan watching Parasite and the other half sound like they’re mad that Wendy’s doesn’t sell packets of capsaicin

This is a major victory. We may disagree on some issues, but these are people of honor, and we can count on them to act in accordance with their words. Commitment to procedure is crucial in this moment. Tomorrow I will introduce a bill that compels Attorney General Bondi to give me back my nose.

James Van Der Beek was really funny in Don’t Trust the B—— in Apartment 23. Seemed like he really enjoyed being a goofball. This world is stupid and mean but some people get to spread joy around while they’re here and that’s something

Me bouncing between physical therapists, urologists, and neurologists

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

Most quoted movies in my house growing up: A Fish Called Wanda My Cousin Vinny Mystery Train

My neighborhood is a target. Just saw a march going down my street, looked like all teenagers, looked like all or mostly POC. These kids are so brave. We can’t let them down

I mean, you pretty much nailed it. I offered my water bottle to the mom near me for her baby's eyes, and she said not yet, then added, "Oh, I should have said thank you first."

This account from someone a few blocks away really gets at the sudden escalation. This was a family outing to a park on a relatively warm Sunday afternoon — kids on bikes, the family meeting up with grandma. Now you have to explain tear gas and police brutality to your 8-year-old.

A lot of the people had never been tear gassed before. I talked to someone in the center of the cloud who had never been gassed and had only been to big protests like No Kings. She said the march had felt like the exact same vibe, right up until she was gassed for the first time in her life.

this part is so true, i mostly travel in women-and-children spaces in far outer SE, so the exact opposite end of town, and since saturday i've overheard and had multiple conversations about how to launder tear gas out of things like diaper bags including one at the methodist church

It’s an easy trap but when I see people say a beloved film “doesn’t work” or similar, I always think about a guy who hated Twin Peaks s3 who said, “You can’t just string ideas together on instinct.” Buddy. You can, people do, and other people love it

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

You just know they tried to find an unflattering picture and this was the best they could do

Really hard to explain why but this made me cry today. Art is so important

Ponies: We’re the good guys! Me: Seems sus Slow Horses: We’re morally like charcoal grey at best, also we’re not very good at this Me: I would die for these scummy dumb-dumbs

Austin friends: ICE is out in major force today. Be aware

hey it turns out that growing up one of the reasons your parents were in bad moods was that they opened up the newspaper that morning and learned that another one of the people they had unwittingly included in their personal cosmology winked out

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Catherine O’Hara. Fuck. She’s just always been there. This one hurts bad.

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

Sure on the one hand Eli Roth is a genocidal lunatic with rancid vibes toward women but on the other hand he makes movies that all suck real bad so it’s complicated

Adult Swim Yule Log is a feature film. While we’re at it, Shivers wasn’t Cronenberg’s first feature film. Bums me out when the shine of conventional distribution eclipses an artist’s previous work

Bush started ICE, but it was during the Obama years when they signed the contracts with local law enforcement, instituted Secure Communities/Priority Enforcement Program and 287(g), and set the norm of ICE as an unaccountable agency being written blank checks every fiscal year.

Ponies is a fun show but the totally uncritical “CIA good KGB evil” narrative lens feels so incongruous with its otherwise progressive vibes, and bizarre to see in 2026

It needs to be said that it is extremely telling of what role ICE is ultimately playing in society that schools respond to it as though its a horde of potential mass shooters.

This isn’t something uniquely Trumpian or uniquely Republican, sorry to say. Arming Israel during the genocide was practically as unpopular as Greenland.

The one time I was in Minneapolis was in 2009. Played a show in a secret space in an industrial park. Amazing crowd, vegan potluck before the music. I used to think this was a story about flowers between the cracks in the concrete. Now I think it’s a story about how Minneapolis fucking rules.

We know what happens when we’re polite with the world’s Bushes, Scalias, Thurmonds, and Kissingers. We don’t get to turn on them later, they remake the world in their image. Why is the onus on us not to dunk on Hanania? Why no onus on him to accept the well-deserved criticism without whining?

hi from Minneapolis. these folks are catastrophically overthinking it; the immediate need when agents hit a block is for people that speak *any* language to know it's not safe to go out. that need is far more pressing than whatever this infantilizing "actually it's racist to make noise" shit is.

I once asked a composer how she decided when to add stuff vs let it stay minimal. She said she basically asks “is it radical?” So I can love drone and call Zimmer boring as a diss bc there’s nothing radical about film music just being loud vibes. If he were as boring as Sunn O))) he’d be interesting

I know how much it sucks to do the “I never liked him” thing but honestly I don’t care fuck this guy fuck his boring fucking music fuck his greedy credit-hogging CEO-ass work model fuck his whole contribution to film culture

New Sunn O))) single is exactly what I want from them (more like Pyroclasts) and the album drops a week before my birthday happy birthday to meeeeeee
