I was honored to be the first guest on the new podcast from @drunkenprayer.bsky.social - hear us discuss authenticity in country music, empathy and me being turned on by Marc Bolan in my late teens.
Fantastic recs for those looking for deeper cuts
POP QUIZ HOT SHOTS: what are some of the most stylistically bold and formally daring music docs you've seen that are about specific scenes or eras (as opposed to hagiographies on specific artists or bands)?
(Signal boosts greatly appreciated for this one!)
I like ‘Assault on Precinct 13’ too, but I don’t think we find the same characters sympathetic.
Thank God we didn't elect a woman who would obsess over the curtains during war.
punks are still out there. and they belong to groups like food not bombs and protest the genocide in gaza
What sucks is when you have to get that much plastic surgery for your job but you get fired and they don’t let you return your face to the store
How great he was.

My buddy and I found a baggie of unidentifiable pills on the ground. “Let’s take ‘em!” I swallowed half.
He pretended to… and was shocked that I actually had. But then he gulped his too out of solidarity.
Not sure which of us was dumber, but I think it was me — he was just being a good friend.
And yet… it feels not insignificant that I first thought this photo was of Robert Tilton.
Hey, it’s called ACCOUNTABILITY, okay? A father and son holding each other accountable for their porn consumption — with a fair degree of flexibility and understanding (curiosity, even) because hey, family — s a time-honored tradition. Is it not?
Susan Collins may have voted with the rest of her party to block the war powers resolution, but according to @thehill.com she “also warned that the Trump administration has to keep lawmakers fully briefed on the conflict.”
IMAGINE THEIR CHAGRIN!!!
Dude, come on, he doesn’t have time to keep up with EVERYthing
One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results.
The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.
SAY NO TO AI ART, SAY NO TO AI FEET
Every single one of us would have understood it if @crockett.house.gov had remained in Texas for a while after putting everything she had into her Senate campaign. Taken some time to recover, rest, and heal. She's earned it.
And instead she's right back at work in DC today. For all of us. Wow.
Let’s go
A graphic that compares the logo for AI product Claude with Kurt Vonnegut's depiction of an asshole from Breakfast of Champions. They are very similar.
I can't be the first to notice that the Claude logo looks exactly how Vonnegut drew an asshole for Breakfast of Champions. This is either intetional or an accident. Either way a good argument for hiring humanities majors.
Evergreen.

I’m gonna mute the word “distraction” for the next 72 hours. None of this is a distraction from anything else, the US Government is, and has been, a death cult run by rapists. Every atrocity they commit is its own reward.

"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.
I know I buy far too many books but I like to think that lining the walls of my house with them wards off evil in some deeply important way.
Note from my notebook (2016). Nothing has changed.
Show me your Uber driver 🖤
