Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

This list of albums out of time - or of their own time - is really a perfect list. There are some on here that I was unfamiliar with and am going to give a listen to over the break:

This whole 🧵 is an essay that merits attention for a discursive analysis of decency, customs and fashion.
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Still remember when Goldman Sachs threatened to move operations to New Jersey unless they got tax breaks. Giuliani, then mayor, said "try taking your clients for lunch in New Jersey." Goldman stayed in New York.
Is there anything we can say to convince him to follow his original plan?
Big Apple billionaire John Catsimatidis planned to move his business to New Jersey if Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor. Now he’s reconsidering.

Brilliant. Should be a model everywhere
I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

It was today I learned that One Step Beyond is a cover. And leave it to the inimitable @carlzoilus.bsky.social to provide criticism with nuance and social context (as well as a fre relatable biographical notes).
As part of Hilobrow's "Skank Your Enthusiasm" series on ska, I wrote a short piece about my conflicted history with the genre's post-punk revival waves, via Madness's 1979 signature cover of Prince Buster's 1964 "One Step Beyond." www.hilobrow.com/2025/11/04/s...

If—and this is a huge "if"—it allows the unilateral presidential imposition of tariffs at all, IEEPA does so only in the context of an "unusual and extraordinary threat ... to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States."

Damn. Just … damn.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:
