Aw fuck. I'd been hoping to go and see Soft Cell when they toured their next album. Really sad news. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The musician, best known for Tainted Love and Say Hello, Wave Goodbye, died in his sleep at home.

It would be wild for them to overturn Obergefell, a precedent from only 10 years ago. I’m definitely not saying they won’t, though. They may just choose not to hear it.

Most Criterion "Thank You" credits never expire, and there's no limit to how many you can use on an order.

I just scrolled back thru 6 years of emails, found $130 in unused credits, and got my order for FREE (with more left for later).

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

I wrote about how and why social media has largely become boring and why it's a bad idea to eat your own brain: www.forkingpaths.co/p/is-social-...

Is social media just...boring now?

Social media is destroying democracy and accelerating idiocracy. But it's also just...really, really boring.

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.

levernews.com/book

Supreme Court ruling: "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."

He’s not saying anything I didn’t hear ad nauseam in the 80s at evangelical churches. One thing, though, if there is an Antichrist, he’s not it.

One of the great things about The Kids in the Hall is their awareness of audience and timing. Some sketches are only 20 seconds because that’s all the joke needs. Unlike SNL where every joke is driven into the ground and then reburied six times. Crazy that Lorne Michaels produced both.

Kids in the Hall is still awesome either way

🥔 The moment the Barbican went mainstream?

No, it’s not April 1st. Supermarket chain Aldi have dropped a new limited edition Jacket Potato Jacket to mark the start of autumn. And where did they choose to do the fashion shoot? Yup, everyone’s favourite post-war brutalist estate.
