I got sent a video yesterday that was obviously AI of white children being forced to do muslim prayers in "a Bradford school". The person who sent it said it doesn't matter if it's fake because it's true. How we as a society avoid mass psychosis in the near future I don't know.

I saw ads on bus stops down here in Trump country. Barcelona in Spain, that is.

I only read about this guy for the first time the other week. The story is horrifying but the reason I heard about it is because this graph shows that he and Bob Dylan are the only still-alive people referenced in We Didn't Start the Fire

This is my big problem with Bone Temple. No completely thrilling Day One sequence.

Schrader's Blue Collar is that for me

They've already let slide pogrom language about Somalis, Haitians and more, dismissing it as 'an opinion'. Who will the mainstream press endanger next with their passivity?

I see your point but at this stage dispassion is part of the problem - words like 'aggression', 'corruption', 'authoritarian' need to start appearing in the day to day reporting if news orgs are going to describe the situation accurately.

Talking with friends last night about the 10+ years of his terrible and constant looming psychic presence in our minds and how it has unhinged us all to one degree or another.

Contemplating getting a special bottle of something for when It happens.

I used the word Sanguine the other day and my homie picked me up on it. It was the right damn word!

I've never, ever seen him given credit for bringing down the Berlin Wall. Wild. Think The Scorpions and David Hasselhoff had a bigger role if anyone.

He is on so many drugs, if I were that rich I would spend that money on really good Indian food and with the rest of my time I don't know but I would not obsess over race on twitter and take those drugs.

Oh, apologies for the mistaken identity. TLJ has always seemed like a tough cookie, Ed Harris would intimidate me the most I think.

Fun one today. Didn't you have a disastrous interview experience with Meg Ryan? Or Michelle Pfeiffer? I think you spoke about it on the Flop House. I think about it a lot anyway

I listened to this earlier this week and it was great
