It’s absolutely crazy how awful X, or Twitter, is now. The Grok stuff is just the tip of the iceberg. I went over there for five minutes to do my banking and it was absolutely appalling.

Jan 1: this is the year of new Me Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital

This is going to be my 2026 holiday card.

i got a bit obsessed with the modern lovers this year & attempted to assemble a complete-as-possible 1970-1974 live chronology. it's far from complete, but found lots of fun stuff, including a setlist for what might be the 1st gig & ads for their shows in bermuda. jessejarnow.com/2025/12/the-...

My father used to tell me I was so dumb that I wouldn't know what to do with tomorrow's newspaper.

He had it coming.

1969. CBS pulled the final Smothers Brothers episode featuring David Steinberg, but it aired without controversy on CTV in Canada. Tommy Smothers flew to Toronto and invited the media to watch it on CTV in his Yorkville hotel room. Read all about it in my new book, to be released in Nov 2026.

I found it. The Bari Weiss/CBS News town hall promo for feminism does indeed use a 1964 photo of Beatles fans.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Iggy Pop of the Stooges at the Whisky 1970 by Ed Caraeff

@timjonze.bsky.social Loved your Kraftwerk piece, very well done. I first heard it as a high schooler early '75 at a friend's party, high af. Our progressive FM station played it and we sat around slack-jawed. We had to call in to the DJ to ask him what it was. They played in town later that spring.

Someone make a short film about the time at Canter’s when Harlan Ellison insisted on explaining 2001 to Rob Reiner and Sal Mineo.

This happened at the Belasco Theater across from Lafayette Park, Thurston was performing - and he killed!

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

Just learned there is a “drag queen Grateful Dead” tribute band called Bertha, and they look/sound so much fun!
