Amazing to go to a Wikipedia page about any album released in the last 40 years, and to see that if Robert Christgau has an opinion on it, it’s wrong. Like this mf literally has a lifetime batting average of 0.000, and yet he kept getting paid for those “thoughts”

Sometimes on these westbound flights, you can literally feel the plane struggling against the might of the jet stream. Like, are we going anywhere at all, or just coasting in place like gulls sometimes do at the beach?

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?
That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

One good(?) thing about my new role is I don’t have time to keep up with the news during the day.
It does mean I consume it all at once after work, though. Not great.

There’s no excuse to be a subscriber. They are pure evil. I think less of you when I see your year-end wrapped post.

My fella’s old band had 25 million streams on Spotify this year, which should translate to everyone in our house sleeping on a pile of ermine coats, but what it really translates to makes no discernible material difference in anyone’s lives. That’s how I feel about Spotify wrapped.

I don’t want to overfit a curve on too few data points, but it feels like Big Media may be smelling blood in the water, and changing their coverage voices accordingly.
“.. A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump’s eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes.”
