exactly. It's running the party, or the country in some sense, from your couch.

Go and do this and that which will make me happy

oh I won't vote for you until you do this and

I don't care if it makes other people not want to vote for you in the process

Explaining George Jones, a ‘Haunted House of a Human Being’ Tyler Mahan Coe talks about the second season of his acclaimed podcast Cocaine and Rhinestones, which does a deep dive on Jones and the Nashville Sound.

Jazz is very underappreciated

Movies are ~50% of the time better than the books they're based on

Coffee is gross

Making your bed is pointless

American Psycho sucks

The title of your new piece on Colbert reminded me of the title of my old one

Just did a lively set at Tipitina's with The Lost Bayou Ramblers

Detour's great. Definitely got that extra edge to it that a super cheaply made film has, and it's quite profound at points despite presenting as potboiler fluff

"he was born in America, but he's not actually an American."

dear god.

fair I just don't see how that connects to the Superman plot

I thought LL definitely had an Elon Musk vibe, but story wise it doesn't really connect to I/P or R/U

I guess I could go along with the Russia/Ukraine war being the real world subtext

with the sort of Russian-y bad guy beating up the smaller country who really seems to need the American super heroes to help them survive

but I don't see any Israel parallel at all

and bad faith, and blind obedience, and all the rest of it. And it's an example of how being famous really is more valuable than being good, or smart, or kind, or successful. You can't buy the kind of public reputation that DJT has enjoyed for decades, for really essentially doing nothing much!

This one is exceptional.

Remembering Desmond Dekker on his birthday

I think it'll be like the death of Stalin, the real one

where everyone splinters and claims they were Always Very Critical

and everyone scraps with each other to be the rightful heir of MAGA

Nobody getting behind JD Vance

Tonight was the last show before summer break, so it was all summer themed, from rock and roll to blues to surfing to hitching a ride to rockaway beach we took the airwaves by land, air and sea #MusicSky

It’s absolutely impossible to think this is the result of good faith legal analysis, especially when they refuse to provide any reasons!

they're not happy when they win, either. I was working the phones during the Obamacare fiasco and literally held the phone at arm's length from people screaming at me that it was either too far or not far enough. I think it crippled his presidency. Now what do you know, people like it

I wouldn't put it that way

but DJT definitely appeals to people who are down on themselves in some way or don't like how their life turned out

so they want to identify w a person they see as the person they'd like to be like

So his "winning" (however crude and thuggish in practice) is theirs

The poor man. He didn't get paid for a lot of the copies which were censored, then black market sold, and given that he'd put years into writing something that was not going to be an easy sale and he threw money around like crazy he could really have used the spondulicks

They really are extraordinary stories. And Pancake's whole saga is very strange and moving.

maybe not GOAT for me but it's in the conversation for top five, say

Leftists are famous for never arguing with each other

One of my favorite pieces

and for a very underrated movie, which is no less great for having to follow up the achievement of Kane

which I'd wanted to see forever and @criterion.bsky.social thankfully put out in a beautiful edition

There is sometimes a difference between having a generally good/fun moviegoing experience as a viewer or critic and the film actually being good.

All vibes tonight, the British invasion crackled and chugged along, then a detour through some swinging divas and indie folk and early rockers, then returned to the past, steady rolling along on the blues for a solid hour #MusicSky #BluesSky

definitely. Disgusting people at your readings (which CP has bragged about) isn't an accomplishment, literary or otherwise. Anyone can gross anyone else out without trying all that hard.

complaining about someone is trying to stop your masculine energy is a telltale sign of suspended adolescence
