One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential
Someone needs to do something about Biden!
Sticky Fingers is easily the best Stones album, yet Some Girls is my favorite. Curious.
People thinking Labi Siffre's 'Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying' is a Peach Pit song, it feels almost like stolen valor to me. Not PP's fault, I know
The simplest elegant mesmerizing arrangement, perfectly structured short story. Even has a twist at the end that makes you listen again in a new way.
This is an ethnic cleansing campaign
'Taxes' isn't even in the top 5 songs on 'Getting Killed', Pitchfork!

Not sure they listened to the album.
Harry Potter was never any good. That anyone above the age of 12 read those books is still shocking to me. The movies were a lot of great talent doing their best in service of mediocrity.
A long way of saying I support the trans community and a certain billionaire children's author can F off.
Had a dim recollection of a song I loved 12 years ago. All I could remember was they were from the Netherlands.
I found it. Enjoy.

I am from the original Star Wars generation, even held my nose + tolerated the prequels, but all the ill conceived (non-Andor) series have decimated the brand. It seems to be the work of one man. Impressive in its way.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Anyone going through a breakup? I found a great song! Enjoy!

It's fun to have a new favorite band. It's been awhile. Not trying to preach anymore, though, not trying to convert, just quietly shaking my head in disbelief at non-believers. Sure, go enjoy your inferior rock and roll music. Godspeed.
RIP Udo Kier, a true original

All brilliant. Day 2 of Woodsist also brilliant but that's a festival as compared to a gig. Levon Rambles as well but that's more of a hootenanny.
Happy new year to all.

On the last night of SXSW the Dung Beatles used to play, maybe they still do. A feces-themed Fab 4 cover band playing hits like 'It's Only Dung', 'She Loves Poo' and the classic 'Felch!'
What made me remember that?

One other person there. So close.
Lanthimos is not a horror director but he keeps you on edge constantly. The levels of unease crossed with the absurdity. Like the final scene of 'The Lobster'.
The way he sets up the 2 antagonists in Bugonia, it filled this guy with dread. Anything could happen.
Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.
Going to a 1:30 screening of Bugonia. Hoping for that rare 'only person in the theater' experience.

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
Then she died.
