There are no words for how evil this is

It's a beautiful day for sweeping and staggering electoral victories by the American left!!!! Let's goooooooo

I can’t believe people are still talking about this in this fashion over here. I’m sorry, but you are living in an alternate reality.

They’re doing this because it’s so successful

It’s fall, hello

FanTASTIC news let’s get this done

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Let us know if you find The One

Thinking about becoming a content creator. Seems like a good time to get into it before it becomes an oversaturated space

I’m giving up coffee. Coincidentally, I’m making a slowcore album

Look, I like the Geese record, but does he have to be singing in nearly every second of every song? I loved the instrumental sections of Heavy Metal, and they made the vocals hit harder, give me more of that please

Current listening: Tom Waits - The Life of a Showgirl (1976)

Over the weekend we watched the first episode of The Lowdown, the new comedic neo noir-ish show set in Tulsa and starring Ethan Hawke. Very well written, great performances so far. Appropriately dusty and Chandleresque. Looking forward to seeing if the rest of the series holds up

Life is a problem that can’t be solved Remembering Kaleb Horton

god dammit www.welcometohellworld.com/life-is-a-pr...

My hometown of Bakersfield, CA is a strange place, and few understood it better than Kaleb Horton, a brilliant writer that I’m sad to hear died this week. RIP to a writer of tremendous talent, and a photographer with an eye for the Central Valley like no other. The world feels really fucked today.

Great picture, timely af, edge of yer seat action, top notch performances, looked amazing, laffs, car chases, this is everything you want from the movies. Young crowd was electric after it was over, PTA making cinephiles of Gen Z. You love to see it.

Here’s a new song called “Dregs of Love” I wrote this weekend while watching Jeremiah Johnson (1972)

Gurdjieff spotted 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

I convinced myself that I know how to repair this guitar that I picked up at a yard sale. We’ll see!

If you want to dress well this fall, imagine yourself as Big Jim Collie, a Scottish crofter in the 1970s who lived alone in a bothy and rode a rickety old bicycle through the Lairig Ghru, the highest mountain pass in the highest mountain range in Britain, while sustaining himself on a bit of dram.

Cutter’s Way rocks though

Wait! I was thinking of Cutter’s Way. I take it back. Weird film!

Wow. New NBC poll finds 78% support vaccines, including 72% of independents and 67% of Republicans.

As I keep trying to argue, Democrats should polarize the shit out of the vaccine/public health debate. Make people take sides. It will split Republicans and MAGA.

See this:

‘If I Live to 25, I’ve Lived a Good Life’

Lord, this is a sad story, with typically fantastic reporting by @hannahdreier.bsky.social — the brave people fending back wildfires frequently suffer cancers and other ills related to smoke exposure, but have no coverage if they work for a contractor www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...

News flash: having Covid still blows. Woke up this morning with a neck/headache in the base of my skull, and can’t climb stairs without resting for 20 minutes afterward. A very stupid way to spend time

Loved that one! Such a poignant ending
