The Replacements announce deluxe 'Let It Be' reissue with previously unreleased tracks — hear a powerful alternate version of "Androgynous"

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.

ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.

Let’s start there.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

The fact that this is a reimagining and not a remake has me very excited.

Gov. Rhodes the day before: “They're worse than the Brownshirts, and the Communist element, and also the Night Riders, and the vigilantes. They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America.”

9 years later the state named the tallest building in Columbus after him.

I can't think of an album that just fucking rocks as much as this one does from front to back. One of my all-time favorites and oh god it's 20 years old now.

Innocent (In a Brutal Prison) Abroad The Trump administration’s latest stain on our values: sending a man without a conviction to a country where a judge ruled he couldn’t be sent.

"I’d go further than Abrego Garcia’s lawyer. If this reckless and lawless action by the administration is allowed to stand, it’s not just the immigration laws that are meaningless; it’s the rule of law that is meaningless."

A ★★★★½ review of Nickel Boys (2024) Bold, confident, emotionally devastating. RaMell Ross makes literal the saying "Walk a mile in someone's shoes". The first-person style is essential to becoming Turner and Elwood and seeing, feeling, ...

A ★★★★ review of Sing Sing (2023) A really special story about humanity and art. There is a lot to laud here, obviously Colman Domingo, but a couple of things really stand out. First, there are a lot of smart choices made about the ca...

This song is energy personified

Challengers not being nominated for a single Oscar is a crime against humanity.

Biden Had the World’s Most Powerful Perch—and Rarely Used It It wasn’t just his age and infirmities. The president was non-confrontational, both at home and abroad.

My piece tonight on Biden—a man who occupied the most powerful office in the land and didn't use that power.

This is horrible and contains some truly sickening acts.

A ★★★★ review of Red Rooms (2023) A hypnotizing psychological thriller with a great performance by an actress I've never heard of. This film plays like a Fincher/Soderbergh hybrid, which I guess you could argue is just aping their sty...

A ★★★★ review of Flow (2024) I would die for these lil guys. Truly beautiful animation and filmmaking. This reminded me so much of similar games with no dialogue that I have to wonder if the director has played them. One thing th...

Except for the Cavs

2024 was ass.

A ★★★★ review of Nosferatu (2024) This is less a remake than a highly executed retelling. The story is vastly the same - save for some minor things here and there. What Robert Eggers does (and does at an expert level) is extract every...

No surprise, I really liked Nosferatu.

The Hold Steady perform "Stuck Between Stations" on Letterman (2006)

Working thru illness, refusing to give up power when there’s a highly capable (better!) alternative who could take on the work - just peak boomer shit here.

The Ohio legislator who proposed the bill to ban football teams from planting flags after OSU lost to Michigan is one of the worse, most dishonest, and frankly disturbing Republicans in a body full of bad, dishonest, disturbing Republicans. He's a remarkable piece of shit who wants attention.

Republicans continue to turn our universities and colleges into their business projects: screwing low-wage workers while making millions.

i have plenty of thoughts on why it matters that this is an illegal order but here i’ll just comment that i think liberals who throw their hands up and say “it doesn’t matter” have self lobotomized themselves into thinking that trump is god king of america

No surprises.

(That’s a Radiohead joke)

CAVS WIN!#LetEmKnow

It’s one thing to hear about how bad the Bengals defense is, but it’s another to see it. Big yikes.

What I think to myself every night:

That oath to support the Ohio Constitution goes out the window when you're running for another office.
