I write skeets not tragedies.
Out of curiosity I tracked down the Harper's piece and I deeply wish I had just remained ignorant.

It's great that all of our goalies are floundering at the same time 😬

Nothing wrong with that!

Yeah, as soon as I recognized it for the Bowie tribute that it is, I loved it!

I remember hating it when I first listened, because it was such a departure from my favorite (Favourite Worst Nightmare), but it grew on me quickly and now I love it.

Such a bold move after the success of AM.

Wow that's a long time, I think I'm coming up on 10 years of vegetarianism.

Sometimes I think Republican media types are born without that natural shame and self-awareness that keeps people from saying such things out loud, let alone on a podcast.

I don't either. I hated the pick at the time (why pick a defenseman 1st overall right after picking Dahlin?) but I've been hoping he would turn it around. I just don't see it happening.

I've tried my best to be open minded about new music and not be a crusty curmudgeon, but I'm going to be absolutely insufferable about AI "music."

I'd take a thousand SoundCloud mumblecore rappers over any song written by a fucking prompt.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. There doesn't seem to be an authentic Gavin Newsom, he just needles Trump because it helps his brand and will walk away from any progressive causes that poll poorly.

His vision of politics is much much more cynical than someone like Mamdani or even Bernie Sanders.

I hate Newsom and his tiresome "trolling," but I do appreciate that he represented the US and called out Trump at a recent climate conference. I guess that's a pretty low bar for a California Dem governor though.

They could at least check the bio first

I mean on average yes, but like 47 people died in a blizzard that knocked out the power in my city.

Wait until they find out the novel was written by a teenage girl.
