This is the basis of some of my most treasured friendships, but I was 17 in 2001 so it’s not Cryptic Slaughter, It’s Old Man’s Child. You don’t get to choose your innermost authentic self.

This is not the point, but this image made me SO nostalgic for a bygone era of newspaper typesetting.
I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Farewell sweet Prince
Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

the new Coroner album is the best metal comeback since Satan's "Life Sentence" and there have actually been several good metal comebacks in recent years so go spin the new Coroner if you were at all curious, it is very good

I tried to think through the answer to this question until I remembered I haven't actually _seen_ Company, I've only seen the Documentary Now! spoof of the documentary about the cast recording of Company, Co-op
Are kids a non-issue in Sondheim's Company because it's actually about gay couples or because of like 'it was before kids became special'

new yorkers, a moment of your time. i know you think, based on the chill early this morning, that it’s time for that one autumn jacket. but if you peek at the forecast you’ll find it’s supposed to be 73 today. so unless you want to fill the jacket with the odor of sweat you must put it away again

I recommend this one. Especially for those of us on the left who didn’t get a great education of what radical or militant leftist politics looked like in the years of the Cold War.
Criterion Channel just added CARLOS. It's in 3 parts, but the parts are longer than the original mini-series parts, making it the longer full-length film version (340 minutes total).
