Shouts to the lady who upon seeing my shirt exclaimed “I LOOVE BUILT TO SPILL!!!” at today’s protest. We had a good indie rock chat as BTS were just in town down the block the other night opening for Modest Mouse which is incredibly backwards.

Define “Perfect Ending”?

All the dudes from high school who loved Waiting Room but always ragged on Ian asking folks not to hurt each other are awfully quiet on the socials today

Do folks ride the Toronto marathon route before the runners? Used to do an out and back for Boston and barely making it back before they locked the course was a trip.

Still think the safety is too punitive a penalty but damn if it’s ever not hilarious watching a QB lose all composure

Wouldn’t exactly say Florida won that one

Nice turnout at Toronto #NoTyrants (whispers #NoKings)

2 protestors dressed in frog costumes holding signs

Sign that reads
UNMASK ICE
Huddled Masses
NOT
Hooded ASSES

On University Ave in Toronto
In foreground, a protestor in a yellow long-sleeve shirt and overalls holding a sign that reads NOT A PAID ACTOR [in red] This American ---> HATES TRUMP FOR FREE
In background, 2 folks in frog costumes ambling along. One has an American flag as a cape.

Your intrepid attendee all the way from the East End wearing a yellow shirt with Bob Pollard's mug on it with the words "Pollard throws [not pictured: a No Hitter]"

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

It’s great that the only yellow piece of clothing I have is

Yellow t shirt with Robert Pollard’s face on it. The text reads “Pollard Throws No-Hitter”

Wait does he think freeing Santos is going to provoke violence tomorrow or something? Sorry just finished the latest Pynchon so my mind is even more paranoia-scrambled than usual

A little taken aback by how negative the response is to the new Tame Impala..? Was Lonerism a really big deal for folks? He's always kinda scanned as pretty good to me, but not some envelope-pusher - maybe 10s Dandy Warhols or something.

"We have seen so many documentaries about our past, but few have felt more like a warning about our future,” writes @briantallerico.bsky.social about MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS: PART 1 – LAST AIR IN MOSCOW: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/my-u...

My Undesirable Friends: Part I – Last Air in Moscow movie review (2025) | Roger Ebert

It’s a chronicle of a country, and a world, marching backwards to fascism, and a warning to all who may follow in its footsteps.

I had been slowly, finally getting away from music message boards around when Feels came out, but folks at the ex-CMJ board HATING "Grass" was my exit sign. I was like but it's a good, fun pop song and the response was how dare you invoke the good name of pop for something like...this...

Wrote about applying childlike wonder to grownup love, the thin line between embarrassment and exhilaration, and Animal Collective turning into something (a rock band, sort of).
