I have *never* felt truly comfortable and/or psychically safe surrounded by a big group of cishet-presenting men — not even scrawny introverts at indie gigs — and the ick was especially acute back in college when loud, aggro frat boys would pile onto the campus-area bus Friday and Saturday nights.

People who become right wing because they get annoyed by leftists are weak willed, most leftists are annoyed by leftists every single day.

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

What really matters about the fruit punch beverage is that the people who drank it were in a high-control group and didn’t have a choice. They were normal folks who signed up to participate in community-based social justice work and not die in a death cult in Guyana.

Bryan Ferry is somehow 81 years old today + is still putting younger lads to shame with his absolute aura.

Apparently Janicza Bravo (who on the strength of “Zola” should be waaay more in demand as a filmmaker) is in production on a feature about preppy murderer Robert Chambers! I am so beyond seated I am eating popcorn off the floor with the mice.

[REPO MAN] Robby Müller’s cinematography sustains the flat grunginess of the conception, the sense of stagnation; so does a song by the L.A. group called The Circle Jerks. The movie gives you the feeling that you’ve gone past alienation into the land of detachment. (1984)

This story going viral is actually a good reminder for lefties that you can’t let yourself be sabotaged by genuinely mean people who use liberation-coded language but ultimately have no interest in the formation of a community if they can’t call every shot

I haven’t heard the Ella Langley song yet either. I think it’s down to a variety of factors: NYC-area pop stations & store playlists’ general disinterest in country, the algos’ eternal feedback loop, and that I rarely “watch” “TV” in a trad sense so I miss out on mega-monoculture there too.

There are obscurer songs I could pick, but Fagen’s piano-and-vox demo of “Black Cow” is *staggering*, a loupe-eye view into a mysterious stone.

I could crawl up inside the Temu Dean Wareham vibe of the “Flirt” (1995) OST and get quite cozy. And then nestle into some Luna from the same time and place.

It’s funny, they called it ADD back when the understanding was that it was JUST “brats who couldn’t sit still” and when they later added hyperactivity into the name, the diagnosis began to include issues with executive function, dopamine, etc. (The 80s were a rough time to be a struggling IEP kid.)

Core memory unlocked! When I was a kid, the laundry machines in our building’s basement were this color. I’ve thought about the room from time to time but the “harvest gold” washer units had been memoryholed for decades.

Somebody commented that Tilly Norwood is a “cyber scab.” That’s exactly it: the full bloom of studios’ revenge for the strikes, an entity that will cross the picket line every goddamn time, demand no fee, work 14-hour days without peeing once, never call anyone exploitative or predatory.

I miss Natasha Lyonne — even despite her pre-relapse oversaturation and her misguided AI investment. I hope the step away from the spotlight gets her head back together and she’s able to pace things sustainably. She’s powerful and can write her own ticket! Oh Natasha we love you get up, etc.
