One of my favorite records of the new century. Absolutely love this record and go back to it constantly.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Oh man. Love them. Two faves:
Convoy
Harper Valley PTA

So which is it? Or do you consider a “power grab that threatens the health of our democracy” a distraction, like the rest of leaders of your party?

Slightly diminish a band:
The Mighty Bosstones.

2 million YouTube views counts as a celebrity, right?

And a new Running Man. From the trailers both look pretty close to the original books.

Superbrothers Sword&Sworcery - gorgeous adventure game with an amazing soundtrack by Jim Guthrie.

Simogo games: Year Walk (along with the companion app) - story by exploration game, Sayonara Wild Hearts - killer rhythm game, and, especially, Device 6 which best experienced with no info going in.

I have no words for how excited I am for this.

Vyse and Aika standing on the deck of the sky ship Delphinus.

Yep. Absolutely. Still talks like the person who ran his administration based on queues from Morning Joe.

70s/80s SoCal we called them thongs. Only in the last 20 years have I called them flip flops.

With the way they frame stories about this admin, I’m never donating to NPR again. They’re poison at this point.

Just a few games away from Dodger pitching coach Mark Prior running up into the stands asking, “Is there a pitcher in the house? We need a pitcher!”

Depends. Are we talking about a dance off?

Dieter Ruehle trolling the not-from-anywhere-near-Los-Angeles Angels at Dodger stadium by playing the theme from The OC is A+.

Wasn’t sure about Murderbot from the trailers. My brain had SecUnit as more androgynous. And the Skarsgård narration wasn’t working for me, too goofy.

But it all absolutely works in the first ep. Genuine laugh out loud moments throughout. Skarsgård nails the awkwardness.

Really enjoyed it.

Also, the Bulwark is run by Republicans. You don’t need to post and amplify their right leaning garbage either.

Hey y’all. Just like with Chris Cillizza, there’s no reason to repost whatever bullshit Eric Lipton is on this week. It’s easy enough to just note he’s a dipshit carrying water for his workplace and the current administration and move on.

Go away narc.

Did someone write and schedule these posts in December ‘24 and forget to update them before they posted?

Hey! Serious question for the social media team running this account? Did someone write and schedule these posts in December ‘24 and forget to update them before they posted? May want to look into that!

How Senate Democrats Can Shut Down Trump's Agenda with Procedural Hardball

SECOND: FREEZE THE SENATE.

Call on your Dem senators to engage in political hardball. Blanket opposition and using procedural tools like rejecting unanimous consent and quorum calls to gum up the works.

One thing that might help, and I don’t know if they’ve tried this yet, but the democrats could send an email to their mailing list explaining how outraged James Carville is and asking if we can donate money.

Cool cool. Thanks for telling us something we already know and doing fuck all about it. Why are you voting for his nominees?

Coherence (film) - Wikipedia

Wild fact about that movie is that there was no script. It was all improv. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coheren...

That is a particularly terrible map. Porter Ranch is not north of Simi Valley. Dots are in the right places. Text is not.

Getty Villa Inner Peristyle

Today, a brush fire started in Pacific Palisades fueled by extremely high winds.

At the Getty Villa, some trees & vegetation on site have burned, but no structures are on fire, and staff and the collection remain safe.

The Villa is closed to non-emergency staff and the public.

Looking west from the Getty Center towards a massive smoke cloud over the mountains. It is mid day.

Was at The Getty Center today. This is what the Palisades fire looked like this afternoon. LA Times now saying there are reports that the Getty Villa is on fire. Back at home it sounds like we’re sitting in a jet engine when the winds speed up.

Just realized I didn’t have Kara Swisher, unquestioning PR hack for techbros, blocked. Fixed now.
