That new one (Touch This Fragrant Surface of Earth) is phenomenal. Listened through twice on the plane yesterday, a very good half-awake flight soundtrack.

Welp, my tossed-off post with a funny-to-me Gen X reference seems to have graduated to the Discover tab; time to turn off the replies

The title alone has me intrigued

Why do I feel almost certain Bari used AI to write this list

Doing a sober, serious-minded TV interview about Bari Weiss's appointment to head up CBS News in which I make evidence-based arguments but say her name in the Borat "very nice" voice every time I mention her.

Every time I read something that Stephen Miller has said, all that comes to mind is "shut up little man." I feel like everywhere he goes, he should be shouted down with a chorus of "shut up little man," just because you know it would drive him absolutely berserk.

Yeah, iOS, and the latest version of the app. Just started acting up a week or two ago AFAIK

Weirdly, once I put my phone in airplane mode I was able to access some of the articles that wouldn’t load over WiFi or mobile data?!

Really wish the @newyorker.com would fix its mobile app, getting tired of not being able to load articles (even after deleting and reinstalling the app)

“What about frogs?”
“I like frogs!”

(A reference only Portlanders of a certain age will get)

idk why I give myself these arbitrary social media tasks, but here’s a “We Are The World” of “Just Like Heaven” for the Cure single’s 38th anniversary

Bravo, sir

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Ambient Sundays tomorrow!

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Finally watched Eddington, and wondering how many MAGA-curious FOX viewers took it as proof that Antifa flies around in a Soros-funded private plane, staging insurrections

Anyone else having trouble with the New Yorker app? For a week or so I simply haven’t been able to get stories to load.

The vice president has too much time on his hands Tweet less and govern more, James David; you are wasting our time and tax money

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. www.joyannreid.com/p/the-vice-p...

A screengrab of Google Docs attempting to auto-correct "spelunking" to "saying"

Google Docs massively missing the point here

Always loved this album. I think it's entirely possible I'd never heard of the Velvet Underground until Dead Letter Office, in fact

Consider my mind blown

Didn't even occur to me, but yes!

I stand corrected

Oh shiiiiiit

I mean, come on

I can't be the only one who's reminded of Lorde's Solar Power whenever I see the cover of Geese's Getting Killed

Vent away, Siavash. It's a shitty and entirely unfair situation you're in, and I'm continually impressed by how much you manage to create in spite of all the hurdles. I hope that someday you're in a less precarious situation.

I just spent the past hour recording a mix in my studio and for the final 15 minutes of it a mosquito took advantage of the fact that I was distracted and absolutely DEVOURED me

My daughter has a bootleg one (which I'm pretty sure is the only kind that's even available in stores here). And even at 10 years old, she and her friends know that theirs are fakes, and have all kinds of tips on how to spot a *real* one (which probably none of them have ever seen)
