I think it is easy to take The Beach Boys or specifically Brian Wilson for granted because their music, often not even their best music, is ubiquitous. But everyone, please take 45 minutes and listen to Pet Sounds original mono mix with a good pair of headphones.

I must be living in a fever dream. MAGAs current official stance is that: 1. We are intentionally making you poor 2. In order to bring back near slave labor jobs you don't want anyway 3. Because it will give you a better life

People don't know this, but our nation was richest when everything was painted in lead. Did you know even our gasoline was leaded? I didn't know that. People are saying it's true. Big strong gasoline attendants come up to me with tears in their eyes saying, "Why did they take away the lead?"

You can't help but look back at photos of ordinary, everyday Americans from reconstruction up through WW1 and think, "My god, look at the prosperity!"

Is there any awareness in Dem leadership that action cannot wait until the next election? We need to apply a tourniquet now. Where is the urgency anywhere?

Old-school style political blogging is now extinct. His was the last of the independent, single-writer, short-form political opinion spaces. The others have all long died (The Daily Dish), or evolved into something greater (TPM).

With passing of the original calpundit, @kdrum.bsky.social , old school style political blogging has officially gone extinct. It was a great 25 year run. At least we still have @joshtpm.bsky.social and Talking Points Memo. Oh, to relive the halcyon days of Iraq, swift-boats, and sub-prime lending.

So...trying to figure out who and why anyone would think Patrick Stewart was a bit of an asshole so much so that it ruined Next Generation for them and realized instead that I just might be too old for the internet.

Everybody knows that this whole Greenland thing is because Trump caught a glimpse of a mercator projection map, couldn't identify who owned it, and thought he could double the size of the US by just declaring eminent domain or something.

You make a good points, but I don't think Josh was using the word "triggered" to mean that this guy was just out and about being a normal productive member of society until a woman did something bad to him. "Trigger" <> "Blame" or "Caused"

I was waiting for your comment on this movie to decide if I want to see it. Biopics almost always disappoint me, for all the same reasons you elucidated. Given your framing, I will definitely go see it. Also, you can stop saying you don't know how to write a movie review.
