David Cross folks.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

It’s gotten to the point where I’m retweeting Chris Hayes

Such a good record

Oh, a few more things: the Avalon Lounge is a fantastic venue; another #Dromfest highlight was the ever-changing Seve Keene exhibit (I finally got a Keene!); and I misnamed the band French? above, sorry guys

MAGNET Exclusive: Full-album premiere of Moviola’s “Earthbound” (Dromedary, @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social). “A reflection on what isolation feels like when everyone else seems to have figured shit out and is moving along with their lives.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2025/08/28/m...

Husker Du was really really very good

Home run home run home run home run boring Yankee baseball

I'm typically a pessimistic Yankee fan, but this year I'm even more so. They can't just expect to win every game with home runs. They don't hit, they don't get on base, they don't run the bases, they don't play defense, and their manager abuses the bullpen.

5) Boone starts a relief pitcher, yanks get blown out and the bullpen starts the second half exhausted already.

Thanks to the Big Takeover for an excellent Whimbrels review

So sweet. And we’re so old.

#NewMusic: Moviola – Slage Wave. A prime cut in a lo-fi vibe from Earthbound, their new album. Out next month via @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social / Dromedary Records. 🖤

I like resign or be primaried. Can we just go right there instead of a hollow apology demand?

Thank YOU!
