Awesome stuff.

Super Bowl discourse is not complete until the Dad from The Necessary Conversation weighs in on the halftime show

To clear up any confusion, New Jersey is technically part of the United States and Charlie Puth is an American citizen

This show was a slap in the face to Our Great Stock Market

I think even Kid Rock understands that the effort to present him as somehow more of a moral exemplar than Bad Bunny is beyond absurd, entirely counterfactual, and insulting to everyone’s intelligence

Just saw a post with George Clinton citing the Beatles as his favorite band, which reminded me of this quote he once gave me

the Washington Post effectively blew up its arts section today, dismissing its books, TV, music, and theater critics, features writers, and several editors. (I'm also guessing the vacant film critic position will stay that way.) Just an insane loss of talent and a huge self-inflicted wound.

Some people are hoping Bruce might open the Grammys with his new song - alas I can confirm that there are no plans for that no happen

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

The people of Minneapolis are brave and good. May the spirit of Prince Rogers Nelson continue to watch over them

Happening now: nurses and staff at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle are holding a vigil for Alex Pretti. Some are out here in their scrubs. People have brought flowers and are writing notes to add to the candles.

A touch frustrating to see some online leftists respond to current events by telling people not to vote, that voting won’t change anything

Hey how’s Jill Stein doing

It was his most influential album of the 2000s. Directly led to the formation of Mumford and sons (by Marcus’ account) so therefore helped start an entire movement for better or worse

I blocked like 10 people scolding my use of an X screenshot. You don’t see them anymore because I blocked

That’s because I blocked multiple people so their replies disappeared!!!

Gotta block!

Sorry but this is somehow the ultimate Bluesky post

And it basically happened.

There are people on both the left and right with authoritarian schoolmarm streaks. One is currently a lot more dangerous than the other but the other one is still fucking irritating

I’m not gonna stop Whitney. Sorry. I won’t be offended if you unfollow. All best

Fuck off
