The only thing I'll hand it to MTG about is working until she gets a pension and then quitting the next day. Relatable af.

This thing I'm mad about isn't real, but imagine if it were. Wouldn't that be terrible

I know at one point, Air Supply was all out of love, and at another point they were making love out of nothing at all. I wonder where they're at on the love these days. Likely, lost in love.

People hate on Boston, but More Than a Feeling is a perfectly produced and constructed pop song. It may be the best Track 1, Side 1 on a debut album.

It cannot be emphasized enough that RFK, Jr. and the Trump administration believe that dying is preferable to being autistic. Kids will get sick and die. And autistic kids will face even more bullying and stigma as a result of what these eugenicist assholes are doing.

It's Trans Day of Remembrance. I don't know a single trans person who hasn't lost another trans person in their circle. Please hold them in your hearts today, even if their names are new to you.

And remember all of us who are out here, doing the best we can.

I'm going to take a bold stance and say that Nazis are bad, actually.
Literal Nazis are running our government
"US Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 US troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month."

The new Rosalía album is something else. I'm still processing it, but it's certainly unique.

Hearing people say nice things about Dick Cheney makes me want to vomit.
