The Left and the Right Deserve Each Other Events in the last month have revealed stunning displays of hypocrisy among the left and the right, demonstrating that both groups are now caricatures of themselves operating outside of reality.

Growing up, 100% punk and metal. But I listen to everything these days .... I love indie folk, jazz, even some electronica, anything moody (and especially) instrumental. Any music that puts me in a writing mood is a plus.

Yeah that song is pretty hot. Not as good as Skyrizi or Wegovy though.

The singer of that band was my neighbor for years. I saw them play once. Good band, but not really my thing.

I never listen to new music anymore but I have like a half-dozen prescription drug jingles in my head at all times.

Steeler (featuring a very young Ron Keel) was Yngwie’s first band. Hail Ron Keel!

It’s pretty wild when a fly gets in your car before a road trip, and you end up taking it someplace exotic for vacation.

One of the best albums ever. Thanks for writing it.

Do you remember those Chris Claremont / John Bolton backup stories they ran in the back of those issues (I think Bolton also did the back cover art)? Some really great stories that put Classic X-Men in another league above other reprint series.

I loved Art Adams' run on those Classic X-Men covers when I was a kid, and I thought Lightle was the perfect artist to take up the mantle. Some amazing covers during that era.

Silver lining: the Trump administration is so stunningly incompetent there’s a statistically good chance that the next time they plan something stupid, they’ll cc a journalist and disclose everything.

We went from a growing economy to fears of a possible recession in a month.

Listening to a panel of NY Times reporters discussing rap beefs is comedy paradise.

Happened to me once (only broke one though). Absolutely no fun at all. Sorry to hear.

This morning I predicted that Trump would halt the tariffs hours before they were set to go into effect and make a victory lap for preventing us from eating the shit sandwich he prepared. Nostradamus over here. It's almost like we've been through 4 years of this shit already.

I thought about Coltrane or Mingus but Charlie is a really cute name for a cat.

I'm convinced the people who name Rx drugs are high out of their minds. I would like this job very much.
RX MARKETER: "What are we calling this drug?"
ME (*takes hit. Coughs.*): "Skyrizi."
"Good, what about this one?"
"Wegovy?"
"I want you to go way out there. Just say something crazy."
"Keytruda."
