for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!

Don't normally do these but it's the off-season and I don't propagandize books enough

"i just learned something insane from a stranger. why doesn't everyone know about this" is a great style of post, right up there with "why is nobody talking about this" alongside a link to one of the biggest news outlets in the world talking about it. nobody does ignorant curiosity like us humans do

Glad TVOTR is getting another round of appreciation. They had a mix of really weird and inventive stuff and then some stone cold rippers (below is the latter)

hello young people who recently saw the new Spider-Man, please enjoy the greatest late night performance ever filmed www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlHr...

there is a strain of lefty discourse where you can’t come to any unflattering conclusions about the populace—those must be explained away by how they are being acted upon by capital—but I think you’ll understand things better if you understand capital can also exploit weaknesses it didn’t create

ill have you know that i am well respected among fools

i will go see this because i'm a sucker for dumb Jason Statham films but also to support us getting to The Threekeeper

BREAKING: Pom Klementieff is listed in the cast for THE BEEKEEPER 2, which is scheduled for release January 15, 2027

there's nothing worse than seeing someone take an opinion you hold moderately to an indefensible extreme, requiring you to denounce them to the authorities

Funny, but there’s actually some truth to this, because [premise of joke you just made]

Odyssey was great in the theatre but Oppenheimer is gonna stand as Nolan's best movie. You make a movie about a big bomb, you do the big bomb, you have the entire third act be set in various Hearings, and you nail it despite your weakness as a filmmaker being dialogue? A+

i don't think i did this consciously but as a music dork it's fun seeing the genres i've muted all together

BANG! BAAAANG!!

there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

You can dislike them but when property insurers start exiting a market en masse they tend to have good reasons

It turns out insurance companies believe in climate change whether you do or not

This is the exact same mental and emotional tendency as witch burning

Tuberville: "I'll be the governor of Alabama and I promise you we will find out if there's a possibility that we can bring him to Alabama to put him in front of a court and a jury to see if we can put this guy in prison. He killed millions of people, folks."

Big part of the Leafs problem is just that their stars decided to go for top dollar in negotiations 6-7 years ahead of the curve. Oh well

the Nolan/Wilson Odyssey thing is a perfect discourse driver because she a) is a brilliant, trailblazing academic who brought a classic to a new generation b) wrote a kinda lousy slam review of a very popular film gets a whole lot of people mad at b), who get accused of denying a). hours of fun

let me call you back boss I’m with a custoid right now [hangs up] i’ve been dreaming of ways to serve you.

First, and probably only, time I’ll make a personal post on here, but here it goes. Yesterday my wife and I made the incredibly difficult decision to go public on social media in effort to growing our family. Grateful to anyone willing to share our story on here or Instagram.

One of the things about this site is you get to see endless dumb posts that get circulated to infinity because they have the right progressive valence

honestly those people don't know anything

I think it's fine that a director made a movie about the parts of The Odyssey that spoke to him in 2026 America and in that adaptation left out some of the things that were more relevant to 600 BC Greece.

Not trying to dunk but I enjoy that apparently the too-obvious bands you have to check off in the 90s are these ones. Like of everyone you could have picked it's good grunge, decent grunge, tedious alt rock with some grunge, and "being submerged in mud"

There’s a kind of guy on social media who acts like you’re a moron for believing in gradations. You say we’re teetering on fascism, they go “umm we were founded on genocide” You say Musk is having a racist breakdown they go “umm he was always racist” Truthers for the concept of things getting worse.

haha, thats a great post. unfortunately you phrased it in a way that allowed me, a moron, to misunderstand it
