Uber and Lyft should be folded into the Department of Transportation.

I just looked at a man with a hat today and kept—tried not to!!-wondering how and why it was I had to act like it was normal for people my country to worship the cruelest, stupidest sample.

I’m reminded of how one of the first things Obama did as president was to declare he wouldn’t allow repercussions to the previous for administration for <checks notes> war crimes

Radiohead started recording OK Computer in July 1996, so we might say the best album of 1996 were the unfinished tracks.

I turned 21 in 1996. It was a monster year for popular music, so it’s very difficult to choose.

I’m partial to Pinkerton and Tiny Music…, but that is also the year of Evil Empire, Tidal, Odelay, The Score, ATLiens, Boys for Pele, Ænima, and Sublime.

I don’t believe it one bit. Ringo is amazing and easily recognizable. Unshowy, and basically flawless as the rest of them.
