Frequently jaded and occasionally jolly. Big fan of dad rock. Sometimes fan of dad cinema.
What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

The ADL is also playing a role in delegitimizing antisemitism in the US among people on the left, IMO, when they do stuff like this, which is incredibly dangerous.
The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

Obviously pinch running for Bo Bichette was the right call, but it certainly dampens any optimism in this situation.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

People don't talk enough about Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5" essentially being the key proto-Pitbull song.

They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

Surreal scene at Montreal airport. By my gate, there is a public piano (horrible idea, should be banned) and someone is just playing Ozzy Osbourne songs as a sort-of-sweet tribute. Nothing like a sad, mellow "Crazy Train" to round out a layover.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

The gap between how I feel about Tate's Cookies and Andrew Tate is unprecedented in terms of approval level between snack products and loathsome figures who possess the same name.

I couldn't agree more. Red Rooms is probably the best narrative film of the 2020s thus far. A great piece too.
