Stoned as hell in the Criterion Closet, forgetting to talk to the camera cause you’re just reading the backs of all the boxes. “Oh whoa, this one has a bonus doc, that’s rad.”

Honestly, if I see “the internet” enraged about a movie, it’s a pretty strong advertisement for me to go see it haha. I don’t go in presuming to like or hate it, I just know I’ll enjoy forming an opinion of my own if other people had such a strong response!

Oh yeah, I don’t mind a divisive movie at all, I often feel much more warmly towards them than most, I respect a swing almost more than landing the swing

Saltburn was fluff, but certainly entertaining and energetic. Promising Young Woman was promising but I’m not convinced it knew why it existed. I have no specific opinion about her yet, but the indications aren’t trending all that well!

Gotta see Wuthering Heights apparently, if only to determine how much or how little I am mad at it lol.

Often contractual, unfortch. I at least made ours a little musical sting so it’s more pleasant to hear often.

I’ve lost track of him recently but I was really following him for years after that show! His stand-up is excellent

I have so much nostalgia for this. “What’s Grandma’s House, who’s Simon Amstell? Might as well try it. What’s Roger & Val Have Just Got In? What’s The Smoking Room? What’s Pat & Cabbage?”

That’s a fact. Shout out to our contemporaries Frankie Teardrop, named for the Suicide song!

Who on earth was ever better than Bobby D, I ask you. RIP, movie king.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

He was the best of the best 😞

The first of two frames from Destroy All Monsters (1968). A man wearing a yellow rubber glove is holding a phone up to his ear. He is laughing while talking. There are some 1960's esque "futuristic" tech in the background. The caption reads, "I'm joking."

The second of two frames from Destroy All Monsters (1968). The same as before but now the man is no longer smiling or laughing, he has a very concerned look on his face. The caption reads, "Well, half joking. We're a bit concerned."

Destroy All Monsters (1968)

Well, I got to sing Don’t Want To Know If You Are Lonely on stage at First Ave, so definitely that, although I’m certainly partial to Dead Set On Destruction, and Sorry Somehow, Grant was rocking it that year.

I can’t really remember a year since I’m 15 where I have not put this record on at an imprudent volume haha

Kind of astonishing. And earlier in the year is friggin’ Keep It Like A Secret, and Sam Prekop self-titled, The Hot Rock, Apple Venus, Summerteeth, Windowlicker, Black Foliage, and 13!! The hell.

The first two came out the same day in June when I was 19, the second two came out the same day that August. So, these. Worth noting that Do The Collapse came out in between, and that 69 Love Songs, Midnite Vultures, Emergency & I, and Halfway To A Threeway were all out by end of the year.

He may stand with ICE, but he gets knocked down by this Honda Pilot.

The cover of the Haunted House EP shows an oil painting of Beethoven’s death mask against a deep tan background.

The last EP from my album is streaming everywhere now! Includes a needlessly intense cover of “The Masochism Tango” by the late, great Tom Lehrer, plus songs by The Beach Boys and Cheap Trick. This link will take you to it on yr preferred service! Check it out!

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too

the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Well, at least you’ll always have Improvisation, My Dear Mark Watson 🤣

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

So kind of you to say, I’m still so proud of all that, there was never any time to think, only react and make, which is often the best way to be!

Here’s a great ad for the @getplayedpod.bsky.social Patreon, you can hear all those early three or four years where I sound designed their opening sketch and dropped a completely bespoke theme song in the style of the week’s game, every damn ep. Some of my finest & silliest work!

As a separate matter, the scope of this coverup—which we know from major-media reporting was orchestrated by Trump (who oversaw the DOJ and FBI handling of the Files)—is beyond anything U.S. politics has ever seen, and should lead to Trump's immediate removal from the presidency.

More than a million times, that’s like a lot, right? Feels like a lot, feels like an immediately disqualifying amount.

Someone’s like “hey, there’s been a murder in this once-proud mansion falling into disrepair on a foggy heath, could you come take a look” and Sherlock Holmes is all “bet.”

Twitter post: ugh @ughfinewhatever hating male improv comedians makes me a yesandrist

Ahhh, this kind of wordplay just makes me too happy, I applauded in my apartment haha

Matt I saw one of these right wing chodes post earnestly about “Kid Rock’s stellar vocals,” and it’s like dude you guys are taking this WAY too far, even Kid Rock doesn’t think that about Kid Rock’s vocals.
