As someone who absolutely loves both #Superchunk and Jon Wurster, this kind of bums me out a bit, though. I had never heard him say why he left, just Mac’s version, which was a bit handwave-y.

I was at this show, and it was incredible, one of the top 5 live performances I’ve seen in my life. This whole profile of John Darnielle is excellent, and really does justice to the incredible person he is. #TheMountainGoats

"There's this show that people say is so good, and we are good, kicking ass. But I know it was one of the most miserable days of my entire life," he says, referring to a March 2, 2008, set at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco.
"I could not sleep at all. The only time I was even remotely OK was when I was onstage, because now I'm useful at least."

Are you saying you would deprive the world of this sort of comedy GOLD 😒

'You appreciate different things later in life," he said, in his new touring show,
"Ridiculous," which he performed at the Beacon Theatre, in New York City. One of those things is buying boneless, skinless chicken breasts, opening up the package, and finding a meat-juice-absorbent pad inside. "I fucking love that pad," C.K. said, "because I always forget I'm gonna see it. Every time I'm, like, Oh, yeah, what the fuck? It wakes me up.
Like, it's proof that I'm really here."

Words to live by, regardless of the context (but from this www.violetterecords.com/news/tigers-...)

Research is clear on this. Genuine emotion is neurologically contagious in ways that performed emotion simply isn't. Mirror neurons fire. Limbic resonance occurs. The technical term is 'emotional synchrony'
The non-technical term is: you can't fake it.

For every tragic story of ICE agents trying to meet their quotas by tearing families apart that we read about, there are hundreds more that we never hear about. I can only hope that when the time comes, ICE agents are the first in line to meet my two little pals www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...
