Starting a running thread of new music I’m listening to. Goal is one new album a day.

First up, Architects’ first album Hollow Crown. Great stuff. If I’d snagged it in 2009 when it released, it would have become a sizable part of my personality. I can see why Architects has the following they do.

again chicagoans need to grow a set and stand up for themselves. deep dish is the superior pizza, you don’t have to do this cowardly whimpering “oh actually we like thin crust that’s cut into squares for no damned reason” thing. this is why the rancid packers have been clowning you for 30 years

Thank god
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

I would absolutely make the hive tell me what showrunners had planned for their cancelled pet projects before I saved the world.
If I was in a Pluribus scenario I’d definitely try to save humanity but first I’d make the hive simulate an entire season where Justin Herbert gets competent offensive line play

There have been a lot of good podcasts, but only one truly great podcast, and that was Car Talk
a podcast is a radio program. they aren't supposed to be tv talk shows. that's a whole different thing.
‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

Avatar has had an entire land in Disney World since 2016 and they’re building another land in Disneyland. There was an Avatar land before there was a Star Wars land!
Fire and Ash made half a billion dollars in a week and we’re still doing “Avatar has no cultural impact”? Don’t you people have homes to go to?

I think you write a book by sleeping in and snuggling with your cats. I thought that’s how that worked.

And it doesn’t matter if I’m bad at my job because the only way to fire me is to pay out my remaining contract, which happens to be larger than the state’s public transportation budget.
My dream is to be a college football coach and make 15 million dollars a year to yell at 19 year olds that they need to take the Bisquick Pancake & Baking Mix Bowl more seriously. My wife has a severe haircut, I cheat on her with several women named “Applebee’s Tami”

I always assumed save points were the byproduct of programming / processing limitations in older games. Why on earth anyone is still using them is beyond me.
Star Wars: Outlaws on the #PS5. Fuck me, the autosave/ limited manual save makes for tedious gaming. Just played for almost 2 hours and I'm back to square one. Went looking for solutions online and found lots of people pulling their hair out. What were @ubisoft.com thinking?

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

This time of year I always think of this deliciously unhinged photo shoot with Truman Capote & Andy Warhol for High Times magazine's 1978 Xmas issue, with Capote soused to the gills & Warhol gamely playing along as Santa. I want someone to write an extended oral history of this photo shoot alone
