Down and Out in Beverly Hills was a really big deal when it came out but people don’t talk about it anymore. Life’s crazy that way.

Hell you don’t even need to move to one. Drive from Massachusetts to Maine and you’ll spend about 10 minutes in New Hampshire, the only spot you’ll pay a toll.
one of the funnier bits about moving from a blue state to a red state is that red states still need money to run things and will often just collect it via fees instead
so you pay less in taxes but everything else is more expensive and you don’t actually come out much better

Decent number of the California conservative transplants to Texas have been surprised to find 1: it's not actually that much cheaper, 2: our services suck, 3: they will still be treated like blue haired hippies just for being from California

Look. Every band with a two guitar lineup has one Fender, one Gibson. Sorry. I don’t make

I was just thinking about how fascinating it is that he was so generally worthless in addition to the sex crimes. self-regarding incoherent dilettante sitting around by the pool high as a kite sending himself little notes about how he's a genius
The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

turns out Piss Christ really WAS just juvenile edgelordism
This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:
Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

This explains a lot about how and why things I used to love and enjoy are straight-up unbearable, now.
Might be a little weird, but I used to privately think of it as "The Sims Cycle."

It's much more explanatory of how we got here than the "enshittification" cycle or malice, in my opinion.

Patrick Troughton Bond tootling on a recorder is the only defensible use of AI.
Peter Capaldi! Or maybe just every Doctor gets to play Bond.
KFC hired multiple actors to play “the Colonel” in ads. New Bond films ought to follow suit. Start obvious: Idris Elba or Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Will Poulter. Push the boat out a bit. Emma Thompson. Barrowman. Then unleash Alan Carr and Danny Trejo. Perhaps simultaneously. The Brothers Bond.

"If you're getting attacked from both sides you must be getting it about right" is a decent heuristic *when you can assume honest disagreement from both sides*.

Can’t be a coincidence that “divorce” and the German pronunciation of “die wurst” are the same. Any of you bitches that wanna cry “false cognate” at me can tongue juggle my beanbag.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The whippet thing was in Fred's house's attic in college. We once stole a tank of nitrous from the geology building but that ended up at Ohio Chris' (a different Chris than California Chris who had the same last name) joint and he was a hippie so no Zep.

Given my age, I have many friends who would be aghast at a member of REM playing a Led Zeppelin song with a guy from Led Zeppeling, and that's because people my age are very foolish!
10 years ago today: at my 2nd-ever European gig -- in front of 300 people, in the Arctic Circle -- I got to play "When the Levee Breaks" with John Paul Jones and the absolutely wonderful Mike Mills, Steve Wynn, Linda Pitmon, Scott McCaughey, and Kurt Bloch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bKc...
