Let me guess: beneath a bunch of bullshit there's private equity involved

Looks a lot like my radio lineup

Google "egal chickpeas" and work from there

Afaik, gov requested 8 warrants from a magistrate, who gave 3 but rejected the rest (including Lemon's). Then gov went to court to override the magistrate, which is what you're showing here. One remedy in that decision was to seek grand jury indictments, which seems like what's happening now

That orange drizzle looks incredible

👍

May be of interest @ihavethatonvinyl.com

Using car analogies in NYC? That's quite a choice

<Crocodile Dundee voice> *That's* a stapler

Before I got prescription glasses, I just left a pair of readers in every room of the house, a couple at work, and one in the car

Not sure they can make a "if you're not (the) second (movie), you're last" tag line stick

Thumbs up from Massachusetts! One of the newer live venues in Boston is named after the song

+1 for Soccer Mommy but also:
Cherry Glazerr, Cayetana (now Gladie), Camp Cope, Illuminati Hotties, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Tulpa (my rookies of the year for 2025), Cheerbleederz, and Linda Lindas

Yuck. Hope you can get some chicken soup or whatever does it for you

Short is great! We sat down to watch something over the holidays. When I saw it was 2:16, we found something else :-)

I love Miracle Mile, more people should see it. Hadn't heard of that Nightshift before, but it sounds interesting

You could be more precise with "Anderson" 😉

Ooh, something new from Fresh? That would be super

In the UK, it's aluminius/aluminia/aluminium

You gotta get into Uncertain.FM, where you can hear that pretty regularly

Original post is blocked, but sounds like a case for R Tarfon

Shake It Off + Flannery O'Connor

Also "Goodbye Girl"

A friend and I painted this on a prominent wall in our fraternity house

Since music videos are a topic, maybe for the last time, here are some of my picks (and why)

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Don't Come Around Here No More (mind-****)
Yes - Leave It (CGI)
No More Kings - Sweep The Leg (cameos)
OK Go - Here It Goes Again (choreography)

I've been wondering if Hinds were any good live. In my mind, they've sounded interesting but sloppy. Good to know and I'll try to catch them if they're nearby in the future.

Would just about kill to see Adwaith.

Would that have prevented the career of your favorite serial killer :-)
