The right-wing idea is that somehow people cannot thrive amidst difference/diversity and cities demonstrate that they do and that lots of us find it enriching and rewarding to live among people who are not clones marching in lockstep. They treat diversity as a threat....

That’s what happened to Anchor? The first dark beer I ever had was an Anchor Porter. I would get their Xmas brews every year. Miss them.

I wasn’t sure about it from the trailer, but everything you said makes me want to go watch it

Right! Mr. Town brought a lot of fun and joy. Now I’m having fun imagining him cooking up hooks with ProTracker. We like to think we recognize humanity and authenticity…I guess we’ll find out.

Yeah! Magic & Loss and New York are the albums that hooked me. He was really good at giving you a feeling of intimacy.

On the flip side, I’m remembering how dismissive people were when that White Towns hit years ago turned out to be all from a guy and his Atari ST. But I guess I’m not going back to listen to it except maybe for a moment of nostalgia.

I’m listening to Lou Reed right now, thinking about how goofy he can get, how much I enjoy the strange person I catch a glimpse of via the musical snapshots he left behind.

Yeah, this is an obnoxiously seductive framing which pops up, uninvited, and has to be actively expelled (in my experience)

My ex used to talk with disgust about “visible panty line”. I never did understand what she meant.

As a dad of a 13-year-old trans daughter, these kinds of stories hit me so personally and so hard. Thanks for telling yours. My family is from Texas, so I always want to see the good side of the place. But I’m also always reminded of why my folks took me and moved away.

That’s the conceit in the first “Life is Strange” game. Once you start, there are so many occasions for a “life rewind”!
