Who are the people the powerful and rich are telling you to be afraid of? Those are the people you should be fighting for, and with.

We’ll probably never again see such a casual, celebratory, & memorable gathering of Jim Henson’s family of characters as is found in 1987’s A MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS…

you know how i know im a 44yo dad? how much i laughed at this shit

Isn't that remarkable? Simple oil of cloves, and how amazing the results. Life can be that simple: Relief; discomfort. Now which of these I next apply? That decision is in your hands. So: take your time, and tell me — is it cake?

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

The Grinch is breaking his silence in his first-ever interview, exclusively on The Guy Who Got Fired From Mumford & Sons Because Of Woke’s podcast

Tom Stoppard, the ingenious Czech-born British playwright and screenwriter whose gift for wordplay led him to a record five Tony Awards for best play, the first for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and the last for Leopoldstadt, and an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, has died. He was 88.

Obligatory post.

This is the way.

One of the best to ever do it.

Yeah my biggest question of this year is, if this is how the right reacts to a 45 minute work DEI training they didn't care for, how on earth do they expect the left to react to this?

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

"But soft! What light through yonder window... BRAKES!"

How do I get the algorithm to not show me resistance lib boomer cringe?

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

This is the lesson of 2025

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

On this day in 1984, #ThisMortalCoil released their debut album "It'll End In Tears". Technically classed as a band, This Mortal Coil was a loose collection of artists on the legendary #4AD label, coordinated by founder #IvoWattsRussell.

High quality journalism is paywalled, right wing propaganda is funded by cunts and free

Yesterday The Intercept posted the piece I wrote for them to X. That account has 800K followers. As of now, the post has 5,500 impressions, 8 likes, and the only reply includes a Pepe the Frog image and the n-word. So yes, seems like the algorithm is working as intended!

“Gavin, hold my beer.”

Will be interesting to see which news outlets omit his years of violent white nationalism. I'm guessing practically every single one.

Here at the department of WAR we’re focused on LETHALITY and the WARRIOR ETHOS which is why we’re ignoring a conventional attack on a NATO member so we can drone strike boats in the Caribbean.

you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later

Speaking of the transformative nature of a bombastic horn section, this live version of The Kinks’ “Village Green Preservation Society” from 1973 is another example of elevating an already iconic song…

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

"Whale blubber, whalebone, and whale ambergris are all essential products that could never, ever be replaced by more humane or sustainable alternatives. What sort of backward, savage land would we be without a steady supply of hundred-ton whale carcasses?"
