Would make a good mashup of historical fiction and music history. I’d read that novel

Since I’m reading kindle, I don’t need the sticker. But I’m enjoying the book a lot! A lot of great stories

We're close on that one. Anything over 100 has to be earned. TV movies were right. I'm not opposed to long movies (and truthfully think LotR earned it) but this idea that "longer is better" (don't overthink that) is wrong. I've enjoyed a lot of MCU films but leave thinking I could cut 40 mins

Well you are β€œChris the Friend.” And it was a strong point that earned more than a like. I’ve been complaining for a while that movies are too long and I love having something to blame

Well, I'm not sure the global impact this would have had but it would've hurt me. I do love some IJ

What if Jerry Garcia had gotten sober and stayed sober. What would GD50 have been like?

Interesting. I never considered this but I think you're right

β€œDeadline also speculates that Trump’s consideration of a pardon is partially motivated by Trump’s attempts to shift attention away from the Jeffrey Epstein story” is an actual line from this article

It’s been years since I subscribed but I always found the app to completely suck. I dumped it for that reason. Content was fine

He cheats on taxes.
He cheats on asset valuation.
He even tries cheating inflation.
He's cheated on all his wives.
He cheats at golf.
He cheats on America... and the Earth.
He's a cheater.
But he can't cheat mortality and when that beautiful day comes, we won't be cheated out of a huge celebration.

I absolutely cannot do festivals, though I attribute some of that to age/tiredness. I love Ratboys too! Happy to see them headline a small venue and Lolla can have the crowds of kids

"The sets typically have certain flow and song placement. Like, it's a different show each night but you learn what to expect once you've heard, say, 100+ shows. And so..."

Hopefully when/if there’s another Dem they’ll run on this issue and be obligated to follow thru. β€œRelease the files” is exactly the sort of anti oligarchy message we need

MAGA cultists just want the thinnest rationalization to move on and believe Trump. This will be fine for most of them

Joey did a 180 so hard the Lolita Express had to re-calculate its flight path.

Imagine I’d said Satan was a β€œreally terrific guy,” backed it up with photos of us together in the 90s, and then blamed Obama

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."
