Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The inflatables have made it to Broadview.

I worked at a Pizza Hut during the “5 minutes or it’s free” era. We had an 8-minute oven. Send this woman to Congress.

I mean that REEKS of desperation. Truly grasping at straws.

Just saw a car ad that tried to sell being stuck in traffic as quality family time. I’ve never felt more sure that we’re near the collapse of car culture.

The small-town and rural South are not lily white. More Black people STILL live in the South than in any other region of the states, and a LOT live in the country. Not every Black person you see in Georgia has recently moved down from Boston, I promise you.

“It’s the South. Everybody owns cows.” What the fuck?

Finally decided to give Reacher a try, and it’s okay for what it is, I guess, but the levels of dipshittery about small towns and the South are off the charts.

I hope we’ve all learned a lesson about the efficacy of simply waiting for the old guard to die off.

I forgot to do a Friday favorite again. We’re adults here. We can do one on Saturday if we want. And I want.

This Friday’s favorite is “Tooting Bec Wreck”
By Hanoi Rocks.

(watching a population vigorously oppose subsidizing the welfare state while also maintaining one of the world’s largest prison systems) these are people who love to be free

Every A.I. CEO is like “We invented a robot that can fuck your wife so you have more free time to mow the lawn!”

Oh my God, we are gonna see so many of those frog costumes on Halloween.

I’m old enough to remember when the Republicans would not want to put a Qatari air force facility in Idaho.

You don’t fight fascism by protesting joyfully in a silly costume. You fight fascism by staying home and posting about how everyone needs to be serious.

Do Republicans know that there’s a whole lot of porn—just worlds of it—that you can watch without logging into anything?

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Used the New Revised Standard in a graduate class and found it very solid. Get it as the New Oxford Annotated Bible if you can. Incredibly useful.

I don’t think I care much for your tone, Your Honor.

I Am a Camera is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Magazine. John McGeoch’s band before Siouxsie and the Banshees. Can’t believe I only found out about them this year.

My bandmate Paul made an ad for our new album. It’s just about the classiest shit I’ve ever fucking seen.

One of the worst things the 24-hour news cycle did was convince millions of people that dressed-up assholes shouting at each other around a table was the news.

One of my most persistent stupid thoughts is a made-up classic-rock band called the Farm Boys that has a “best of” album called “Cornography.”
