Whoever got the “Gothic for life, bitch” copy of Goths doesn’t know how good they got it.

Had the first one of these made earlier this year because I thought the design Merge’s art director made would look sick as a one sheet and now it’s merch. Still have the instinct, baby.

Merch booth at the Destroyer show, featuring a yellow and black movie poster-style one sheet for the album Dan’s Boogie. Dan Bejar is on it, staring forlornly into a vanity mirror.

Thoughts on the 4/6/98 Nitro (Goldberg’s 69th win, Nash vs. Sting, etc.), but also about the current “WWE Vault” style of curating wrestling history via incomprehensibly large video libraries and the YouTube algorithm. 🤼

Coffee is the ultimate former alcoholic drink. You can pay a guy $18 to make a fancy version of it right in front of your bloodshot eyes, or you can buy one in a gas station for a buck and a half while slowly crying to "Night Moves" because you just need to feel something again

“Want to see Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones” is an all-time “thank God for casting directors” pitch.

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

Horror Month continues, this time with @josephweirdness.bsky.social vibing with the sick DIY thrills of the Colon/Ayala Fire Match, in which lighter fluid is poured out via red solo cup and both men get reckless running the ropes. 🤼

As with so many things, it starts with the Wrestler of the Year award. At a ceremony given a lot of gravity and weight by the hosting of one Gordon Solie, current WWC Universal Champion Hercules Ayala...

In a less terrible universe, Star Trek dot com is still paying me money to write about the persistence of artifacts and current culture in the distant future, and I’d have an essay about the Noh-Jay Consortium on the order of this

A ★★★★½ review of Lifeforce (1985)

An intentional mess of influence and affect — it’s almost like Hooper straight up fails to meld US and UK sci-fi, then taunts you for caring, then throws everything into overdrive for one of the crazi...

Lot of anime trailers before this Tobe Hooper movie, which makes sense because they all seem to involve chainsaws.

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

She’s everything you want if your aim is to front bigoted slop as a kind of intellectual exercise, a Jewish lesbian from New York for whom those three identifiers are the gaudiest accessories she’s got going. A blank wall you can project anything you like at and make it *seem* centrist.

I feel like I didn’t know what Bari Weiss looked like until last week and now that I do a) her appeal to billionaires makes sense, and b) I feel like the world is owed an apology for the relentless platforming of the world’s most banal log cabin republican.

“Dan’s Boogie” the song hasn’t been on any of the setlists I’ve seen but if they bust it out at the Cradle I’m gonna lose my goddamn mind.

Seeing Destroyer on Wednesday, which marks the first time I’ll be seeing a band I made a music video for.
