rest in peace, buddy
we gave him a treat that’s too high value and now he’s wandering around the apartment trying to find a place to hide it, softly crying to himself

you guys ever notice that Kermit’s banjo doesn’t have a drone string

we all love post-punk, but indie rock was invented in 1983 in Athens, Georgia.
It’s also very American. Indie music is very much a British invention, for better and sometimes worse

important developmental milestones for a two year old include: - sentences of five or more words - imaginative play - singing the “aye aye” part when Crazy Train comes on

what in the world is “country-air-fried” supposed to signify?
Kings of Leon were once a country-air-fried Imagine Dragons. Their new album is a shocking and impressive reinvention pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…

now, “country fried” means breaded and deep fried. metaphorically, it usually denotes southernness, but also a sort of caloric overload. crunch, over-the-top. “air fried” means cooked without oil, a calorie-lite option. these metaphors are in direct opposition to one another!

not by me. never by me.
Totally forgot about these guys. That album was hella forgotten

my favorite part of Godzilla Minus Zero? probably the bit where they depicted all the war orphans as nameless bullies. someone finally knocked those orphans off their high horse

every day, more and more people are waiting up to the fact that Godzilla Minus Zero was mid-to-bad

trying to imagine explaining this story to myself 8 years ago. unimaginable.
The developers and real estate interests are lobbying for the DSA candidate to lead the Housing committee instead of the mainstream Dem

wonder if evangelicals will hold “i’m a religious person so in theory i go to heaven” to the same amount of doctrinal hair-splitting scrutiny as talarico’s “God is non binary.”
“I'm a religious person, so in theory I go to heaven,” President Trump says, discussing what he thinks happens after death. “I don't want to go to hell.” cbsn.ws/4iJ55dC

According to the official Wakaliwood instagram, the actor that played Captain Alex in Who Killed Captain Alex died. Rest in peace to a man who played a very unsung role in action movie history, who helped prove that no matter the hardship, filmmaking can be for everyone.

their argument really appears to be “it is illegal not to vote for me”
Election fraud: Kansas Republicans cast more votes for Treasurer, and Insurance Commissioner, than their US Senate and Governor seats. Really? I don't think so. The pattern continues like Texas, North Carolina and Ohio, North and South Carolina, Georgia (see previous tweets). @FSociety_1942 found this unholy pattern, help him out at his give-send-go link at the top of his X page. @realDonaldTrump @AGToddBlanche Kansas:

Anticipating the brilliantly askew pastoralism of R.E.M. by a half decade, Television’s second LP ‘Adventure’ replaces the shock-and-awe grandeur of ‘Marquee Moon’ with something even more startling: a reimagining of punk rock premised on the Grateful Dead instead of the Stooges.

Rasmussen got so cooked by the midterms that they are releasing their very wrong poll almost a week late???
On the eve of the midterm elections, the Democratic Party leads Republicans by six points in the battle to control the House of Representatives More At Rasmussen Reports: tinyurl.com/GOPGCB

Happy Four Seasons Total Landscaping day to all who celebrate
I could write jokes for 800 years and I'd never think of something funnier than Trump booking the Four Seasons for his big presser, and it turning out to be the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot between a dildo store and a crematorium.

When they briefed you on the war, did they have to make duplicates of any documents? If they did how might you have phrased that, colloquially? The act of making duplicates with a large photocopier
Replying to @JeffShipley77
After I was briefed, I was wrong about Iran War. We could not wait another hour.

He's obviously a GOAT because of Television but I'm also a big fan of his playing on the 90s Matthew Sweet albums. RIP.
