A screenshot of a social media post from a parody account styled as a governor’s press office. The post uses all caps and mocks a political figure by describing a fake award in exaggerated, insulting language. Below it is another post sharing a short video clip from a televised event at the Kennedy Center. In the video still a man in a suit is being given a large decorative medal by another man while cameras and a news chyron run along the bottom. The scene takes place on a stage with a blurred backdrop.

Listened to the Beatles this morning. Not sure why I don’t listen to them more often as I forget how great they are.

How Jeff Tweedy Made a New Magnum Opus

He decided it was a good occasion to listen all the way through “Sandinista!,” the 1980 triple album by the Clash: a sprawl of brash, style-hopping songs and studio experiments. Soon, the idea of making his own triple album took hold. He jokingly dubbed the new album “Sad-inista.”

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨
