They had a copy of WHERE ARE YOUR BOYS TONIGHT in the window at the Chatham Bookseller so I had to come say hi and sign it. There’s hardly any hardcovers left, go grab this one in Madison, NJ!

Last Olivia Rodrigo album cycle, 31-year olds who liked her songs were getting cringe-shamed out of public life, so she went and made an excellent follow-up with a 67-year old man who loves cats

This book connects the start of modern nightlife in 17th Century Japan’s high end pleasure districts to Moulin Rouge to Studio 54 NYC to LA in the y2K era. It’s a trip, I learned so much, and I got to blurb it! Go read Imogen Willetts’ UP ALL NIGHT out now —

All the praise for new Drake is like, “it’s his best work, in years, at least since an album no one’s talked about since 2021, and also if you do not pay attention to the lyrics, and also you pretend it is a sexyy red song”

Happy american football day. Friday before the eagles - patriots Super Bowl they played acoustic in the billboard office. There’s an awkward silence between songs. Kinsella’s like “someone ask us a question.” Pause. He points at me. “Who’s gonna win the big game??” He said eagles.

Moment of zen. NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras and zodiacal light is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun.

I got this on eBay & I’ve been slowly adding some of my favorite childhood cds I kept at my apartment & some new cds I got used… curating your own music experience… learning what your favorites really are when you don’t have all music streaming in front of you… highly recommended!

Deleting the new USA surveillance TikTok felt pretty damn good! If it’s making you click Accept the new terms of service before you can delete your account, just turn off WiFi/cellular data & then you can bypass it. Boom.
