there's several books in the V*rso sale I feel like I should read but a) I'm reluctant to give them my hard-earned money b) 50% of the time they're completely different from what their blurbs promise

I'm not a vegetarian (& wasn't very good at it when I was one) but the current KFC adverts ("here's huge amounts of cheap chicken for you") are so gross

[circles post] I definitely do think some music journalists have (unlike me) viable careers for reasons that can be caricatured as "DEI". the key thing though is there's been no growth in the sector since I started writing professionally

bullying my girlfriend into watching this on Christmas Eve this year
I don’t think we as a society have thanked @papapishu.bsky.social for obtaining, ripping, and uploading a master copy of the essential Ricky Jay And His 52 Assistants, Jay’s 1997 HBO special and the best distillation of his one of a kind talent archive.org/details/rick...

NOTE: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE COMPRESSED MP4 THAT ARCHIVE.ORG AUTO-GENERATES. This is an RF rip of Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants, to date the greatest card...

find it perennially funny that "blogging" or the "blogosphere" seems to refer to completely different historical objects if the reader is British or American

Charles Barkley origin story
Dr. Clerke tells me that Sir Charles Barkeley’s greatness is only his being pimp to the King, and to my Lady Castlemaine. And that the King is very kind to the Queen; who is one of the best women in the world. Strange how the King is bewitched to this pretty Castlemaine.

The Grinch has passed away. His Tesla Cybertruck left the freeway at a high rate of speed and was wreathed in flame almost immediately, where The Grinch was incinerated like common refuse. He is survived by his brother, The Grunch, and his much younger live-in "protege," Maximilian.
