everyone I'm interested in interacting with is on Bluesky not Twitter, thanks for the 'advice' tho

lol
One of the biggest mistakes left-of-center pundits and influencers made was decamping to Bluesky. They made themselves irrelevant, shrunk their audiences, and dramatically lessened the positive impact they could have on our public debate at the precise time we needed it most.

The ending riff on this song is so fucking good I had to post it somewhere immediately.

MJ Lenderman might not have the catchiest singalong type songs, but that live show sounded great. That’s a band that appreciates big #guitars and #feelings. Plus a Patterson Hood cameo!

A little late to the party, but gotta say… the opening credits song to Peacemaker S2 doesn’t hold a candle to the original “Do You Wanna Taste It” from S1 that was in my head for weeks.

Possibly unpopular to still appreciate Banksy, but I’m all for art with a clear message and thoughtful execution.

Haunting Shadow of Scrubbed Banksy Mural Goes Viral
The erasure of the mural outside London’s Court of Justice has become a metaphor for widespread government crackdowns on protesters around the world.

Wait, how does one “rescind a finding”? You can’t unsee or unfind a thing, once observed. It done been found, my guy.

Organizers of the “No Kings” demonstrations said millions of people marched on Saturday.

In Oregon, tens of thousands gathered in downtown Portland. https://www.oregonlive.com/nation/2025/06/no-kings-organizers-say-millions-participated-in-nationwide-protests.html

TIL: Luthan was not just a badass in Andor, but also the name of Hugh Grant’s character in the 1996 Tony Gilroy-penned Extreme Measures. Add to Watchlist?

I am unreasonably excited that the Apple TV YouTube app changed the subscriptions feed to not mix shorts in with full videos. They’ve been clogging the scroll with recycled clips for ages and I finally have a real feed again! This is a huge UI win that deserves much praise.

Dude, cutting off the stream for the last couple Oscars was a legendary dumb move, Hulu. Any way you might have anticipated it ran a bit long, like it has EVERY YEAR EVER? Way to show you love the art of film.

Banish playoff music at the Oscars, for real. Do a subtle light from the back, a timer off stage, fine. But cutting people off in the biggest moment of their life is so uncool!

Myers’ Musk on SNL fucking killed me. Damn that guy is good. Party on, Wayne.

realized while emptying the dishwasher that Yoda is precisely wrong. not malevolently so. but there is no do and there is no do not. there is only try. this is clear to a man in his mid-fifties and so should be clear to a 900-year-old Jedi knight

Kinda bummed for an NFL weekend with no Collinsworth commentating, tbh.

I’m pro TikTok ban for many reasons, possibly first among them for the pure pop cultural chaos that results. But somehow my beloved Marvel Snap got caught up in it too, and that does make me sad. That’s just a fun little card game catching strays, man.

There are so many smart, informative, interesting individuals who earn an unfollow by abusing the repost function and dominating the feed. Don’t just turn my timeline into yours, friend! Add some value, or dial it back, maybe?

See a whole lot of TikTok commentary in my feed, and very little NFL playoff reactions. Peak Tw***er would have had plenty of both, but I believe we can get there.

Tom Brady is the only NFL announcer who regularly uses the word “Dude”, and it’s equally fun and dorky.

Opening comedian at the Kyle Kinane show tonight: “mustaches are like bangs for dudes”…. How have I never heard that line before? Well played.

So here's what's cool about my job:

Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...
