Love the band but Queens of the Stone Age might have one of the worst runs of album covers in rock ‘n’ roll.

After editing film reviews for years, I developed a theory that if a promo still can’t tell a story then the movie is probably going to stink. Anyway.

The Democratic Party establishment with its unpopular policies, gerontocratic dynasties, out of touch consultants, fealty to corporate donors, cynical wielding of identity politics to stoke division, and their friends at @theatlantic.com are the real parasites.

I’m repping CREEM Magazine (America’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll Magazine™️) at the Detroit Festival of Books in Eastern Market this Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., where I’ll be selling copies of the Summer 2026 issue for $20 and passing out some Boy Howdy swag. Come say hey!

You are a liar. Delete this and apologize. The Uncommitted National Movement in Michigan was led by Democratic organizers Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed. And anyway, Abdul El-Sayed endorsed Kamala Harris for President.

Recently, El-Sayed told @semafor.com that he thought Stevens was an empty suit who can’t string together two sentences. She is referencing that while criticizing El-Sayed for not being more clear in calling for Platner to drop out. (I’m not saying it’s a good tweet.) www.semafor.com/article/06/3...

After more than a decade on staff, my time at Detroit Metro Times has come to an end. Leading the Motor City’s alternative weekly has been a wild ride and one of the greatest honors of my life, and I’m grateful to everyone who shared their stories with me over the years.

The “vibe shift” was never real! 2025: “The right is dominating U.S. culture … the right is cool” 2026: Trump can’t even get washed up artists to perform at the Great American State Fair

I disagree with this part, though. Ethnostates are by nature racist and racism is wrong.
Is Piker a “Jew hater,” as Third Way alleges? In an interview with the writer Aaron Regunberg, Piker addressed some of his worst comments. I find some of his answers compelling and others less so. The comparison of liberal Zionists to Nazis, for instance, is repugnant and not much improved by Piker clarifying that he opposes ethnostates. What made the Nazis notable wasn’t their support for an ethnostate. Ethnostates are common. What made the Nazis notable was their effort to exterminate the Jewish people. And Piker’s assertion that his opposition is to all “reactionary ideology” is hard to square with his admiration for Hezbollah.

The “negotiations”:
The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business,” we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.” This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year “Reign of Terror.” Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The moronic Democratic Party establishment decided to shine a spotlight on Hasan Piker in an attempt to smear him and anyone he endorses, but he just gave a clear-eyed critique of Zionism and U.S. imperialism on CNN. The more they attack him, the more followers he will get.

The front page of the New York Times on March 6, 2026 is full of articles about war in Iran and bad economic news.

Everything happening with ICE right now is exactly what the Trump campaign promised and was entirely predictable. What did people think “Make America Strong Again!” and “Mass Deportations Now!” meant?

Ex-Detroit mayor Mike Duggan’s independent campaign for Michigan governor is driving me nuts. All he does is say Democrats and Republicans are both bad, that we need policy over partisan politics. And yet… as an indie candidate, what are Duggan’s policies? What is one single policy position he has?
