Jank it up!

Boo

Analogous: While watching movies at home, find that I reach for my phone to scroll at points when the film pushes me to feel uncomfortable feelings. Continual persuasion to become comfortably numb.

I don’t know why I chose this weekend to catch up on discourse about creativity and AI. I could have had a perfectly nice two days doing something else like worrying about the climate.

Best description of podcasters’ appeal I’ve ever encountered

Apparently Lynch loved it!

One reason I watched it now!

It’s a lot

Yes I absolutely love both Moonlighting and EO!

It adds a lot to the bonkers mood

YouTube video by Vintage Movie Trailers DEEP END Theatrical Trailer [1970]

If you wanna watch a weird-ass heteropessimist movie may I suggest DEEP END (1970). Jane Asher is as cool as a cucumber in it despite the nightmare men in her life! On Criterion right now www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUQc...

This is excellent work from @jillmapes.bsky.social, continuing my distant mindmeld with Hearing Things (Jill you wrote about Carter Faith the same week I did, and we both love the KFC Santeria remix, and I'm on WATC discussing Buckingham Nicks tomorrow!)

They control the waterworks for sure

I love them so much. Such heart full music

Connie Francis

Certainly, racism isn’t limited to one scene or historical moment

Sorry Tressie I would have just replied but somehow Bsky won’t let me! Was gonna say that my 21 year old has worked at several big box stores and I think this is a management problem. Employees aren’t receiving that training, just encouraged to push customers to sign up for credit cards

I think classic rock fans who were blues collectors often had a problematic attitude toward those forebears tho. Needless to say perhaps 🤓

I wonder if some might know Big Mama Thornton due to feminist efforts to recenter her story tho? Not to mention the Baz Lurhman movie

Must respectfully disagree with your specific example — I was there then (blues buyer in a record store late ‘80s) and the classic rock dudes loved Big Mama Thornton as well as all better-know blues/r&b. Compilations of blues obscurities were huge. What they hated was contemporary pop.

Wait the outdoors still exists? I’d forgotten

Thanks for sharing this!

Major passing. Wilson define an enduring aesthetic and influenced so many musicians, especially in regard to storytelling and time

Oooh very exciting!!!!!!

Ever or since!!

also glitter

a highlight of my life that has been absent for too long! I get to see th again in October yayyyyy

concerned about them running into limestone and caving in huge swatches of town

Thanks! I felt the need to articulate some specifics that make "kindness" possible and not just an abstract idea

This tour is 🔥
