Ok ‘Day’ was pretty good but ‘Night’ is career-defining good, for someone whose every album is essentially perfect…

Whenever my doc discusses a new medication with me, he starts with listing off the recreational drugs it shouldn’t interact with. He thinks i’m party girl 365 and I haven’t had the heart to say otherwise.

I think we’ve done enough movies about jesus. We need to hear the other side of the story. Who is bold enough to make the redemptive biopic ISCARIOT. It will be a complementary film to Noah (2014).

Anyway when I was 15 years old at church youth camp, I performed in the talent show a word-perfect lip sync to the italo-pop breakout hit “Alla Luce del Sole” from Josh Groban’s 2001 self-titled (flawless) debut album. Nobody knew I was gay.

Six months shopping at my grocery store before realizing they had a loyalty program. And then another four months before realizing, just now, I had to self-select any rewards from the little kiosk thing. I am wealthy with grocery store rewards.

Cashier at the big clothing retailer pitched me a tight two minutes on how american manufacturers have been poisoning the general populace since WW2. I told him I agree completely and wished him a lovely afternoon.

Gave directions to a sweet old lady, she thanked me, and then instead of “You’re welcome” or “No problem” I awkwardly chirped “Your problem!” and walked off.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Zara Larsson defends Chappell Roan to The Guardian: “When a woman has boundaries, I think people freak out. Men can do violent criminal things and people applaud them, but when a woman says, ‘Stop following me,’ it’s controversial? It’s like: you guys just hate women, actually.”
