this place was incredible, a fancy-but-unpretentious restaurant stuffed into a dive bar, one of the owners talked so much shit to me about Baltimore food & drink spots, and John Waters walked in as i was walking out, 10/10, no notes

went to a mcsweeney's panel today that was so hilarious and inspiring that i've decided to declare on here that 2026 is the year they'll publish me i'm simply speaking that shit into existence and you're all required to clown on me if i don't pull it off in the next nine months thank you so much

CeeLo Green on Gnarls Barkley’s Atlanta-inspired final album: β€˜I feel relieved’ Atlanta native CeeLo Green discusses Gnarls Barkley’s final album β€œAtlanta,” the duo’s legacy, past controversies and the creative process behind their long-awaited return.

CeeLo Green talks about how riding MARTA as a kid inspired the new Gnarls Barkley single "Pictures": "I would just ride the train to the furthest stop then turn around and come back. I maybe had to do it two or three times. I’d sit and talk to myself, imaginary friends." www.ajc.com/arts-enterta...

shoutout to the book fair trade show conference experience: dozens upon dozens of niche publishing houses, academic journals, weirdo zines, and unusual books catering to every possible interest or kink or personality type or micro-genreβ€”just a wonderful reassurance that the written word whips ass

in his AWP keynote tonight, John Waters said a lot of outrageous, ridiculous things, but this one stuck with me:

"Writing is a way to cause trouble and make people laugh. Maybe, eventually, you even make a living out of it."
