This is also true of in-progress HLLLYH album, tentatively called SHAMWORLD, but for brain half-filled with fear of societal collapse. Leaning very hard on the C64 chipsynth.

Sign on a suburban lawn that reads, in “we believe” style,

“In this house, we believe
The world isn’t flat,
It’sa line
The heart beats out the time
The moon is much 
Older than the sun
And it’s vibe controls everyone”

Can’t find it but my favorite Mitch McConnell tweet of all time is that he looks like someone who if you stole his amulet, he’d say, “My Amulet!”

I still think about @themountaingoats.bsky.social’s review of the Strokes album “True Tales From the Un1verse” (at least that’s how I remember the name). I’m sad I never got to hear Julian C. rapping in German.

My controversial take is that Zohran got 100k votes on the strength of his absolutely on-fire campaign logo. Vaguely Zabar, vaguely Yankees, vaguely Knicks/Mets. An all-timer.
