It's just that I recently switched back to Tidal, so once again have access to the discography of Joanna Newsom
I'd simply drifted away, lost in her deeply personal epic triple 2010 album Have One on Me
Rest assured I won't let it happen again"

I've been home sick the last couple of days, and decided to take the opportunity to work my way through most of the Scorigami videos. They're an absolutely weird joy, improved only by how much my family hates them
got a fun likely scorigami in bills-bucs. not only would 44-32 be scorigami, but just about any other score from this point would be

This resonates: "The numbers are a distraction, just like the commodity. What matters—and how many times am I gonna have to say it until everyone starts listening—is the people. The work. The material. Stop fetishizing the commodity, and build the community."
Are you ready??? HERE IT IS. Me, dismantling that Kyle Chayka New Yorker piece on "it's cool to have fewer followers" and involving our old sexy friend Karl Marx in the process

True story, "A long decline into irrelevance ended on Wednesday in Philadelphia" is a keeper
“A long decline into irrelevance ended on Wednesday in Philadelphia.” As commemorations go, it’s an insult. On the other hand, I’ll be keeping that subhed on file for my haters’ obituaries. www.theringer.com/2025/11/18/n...
RIP Penny, an Essential Part of Americana
Sure, the cent is ineffectual, outdated, and often in the way. But it deserves our appreciation—and our grief.

On divergent paths from impoverished childhood

finished reading & highly recommend this walking memoir by @craigmod.com
it almost got me with “I never beat you in a race again, did I?” and finally, inevitably, got me with his story about his grandfather
if I hadn't been reading in public, i would have cried my eyes out
