Shout out to my boxing coach, who, after a 30 Seconds to Mars song started playing in the gym and I told him that the lead singer is a rapist, walked over and changed the song without saying anything or needing any further explanation.

"That the words that once told of grief and sinful things have become something new for kids as they grow old is a blessing Kurt Cobain never got to see. It’s no miracle to be old, but it will feel like magic sometimes."

Tonight's unofficial theme (for half of the show, anyway) is "MB pretending that she was given an opening spot at Danceteria circa 1986," let's see if I pull it off.

Just left the inaugural Daisy Chains Field festival. I am tired and my thoughts are muddled, but it was so moving to see 45,000 people come together in community and music. Here is a bad photo of Bikini Kill making Riot Grrrl history and performing "Rebel Girl' with Emily's Sassy Lime.

Vote in every local election. And once you start learning about how important your county coroner is in determining if someone died from an illness or if a death was a criminal act, you’ll have a whole new thing to get mad about.

The reason why people think Dolly was “politically neutral” is because they don’t understand being political as a series of actions born of commitment to an idea. Being political as defined by the pundit class is to be in front of a microphone delivering sound bytes, it’s something to be devoured

Just saw "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma" (it was a fun time) and, in all the discourse around the film, there is not enough focus on the fact that it is an extremely Canadian-coded film.

Because we all need to be reminided of good things: At the boxing gym this morning, two of the little neighborhood kids walked by the open doors on their way to the bus stop and my coach and most of the other guys immediately stopped what they were doing to tell them to have a good day at school. 🖤

Today is one of those days in which I want to pack up my cats and Irish Exit for a few months. Sort of like the song "The Way" by Fastball, expect the three of us live and come back in the end all refreshed and ready to take on the bullshit again (well, my cats have easy lives, but you know).

It is very important to live a life in which you have friends who are just excited as you are about the fact that the Beastie Boys popularized the term "mullet" (for the hairstyle) with their 1994 song "Mullet Head."

The article is clear that people who didn’t eat at Taco Bell also got sick, so it’s not a unique product only they carry. I’d be wary of any prepared chopped iceberg lettuce, from anywhere, on anything, until they get a more precise track on the supply chain. Salads, sandwiches, just avoid.
