Love the new Vishal Bharadwaj and Gulzar collab… takes me back to those golden songs like Bekaran, Yeh Ishq Hai. Such decadent, melifluous fall vibes to all these tracks 🍁

What is your biggest musical blindspot for someone precisely your age?
For me - an elder millennial - it is that I have never knowingly listened to INCUBUS, nor could I name even one of their songs if you put a gun to my head.

what's the very Swedish word for the feeling when you decide to wear a parka and feel a lil cold as go coast along, but the city's public transport shifts tectonically from tram lines to bus stops and you end up freezing your heels, toes, hair ends off

Writing about being a fan of an artist who does not want someone like me as a fan, and at what point, therefore, my insistence on being their fan represents, for them, the downside of fame. Good morning.

Absolute peak enshittification, here. Unbelievable. "We've decided to hide the standard functionality of our previous product – you know, the thing you depend on – and put it in a drop-down menu that you're unlikely to find"
This is in no way apologism for Google but click Search Tools and select "Verbatim". It makes it work how you expect

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.
The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.
