Okay im going to say something that might sound hyperbolic or controversial but Tubthumping is #actually the best song I’ve ever heard. It should still be number one. I will apologize to no one.

I'm asked what my favorite John Williams score is.
I don't have a favorite, but for me, the opening titles of SUPERMAN (1978) is always a thrill.
For five full minutes, the music is front and center. It's truly a full-fledged overture. Which we rarely hear anymore these days.

yes, and I know I'm a broken record about this, but. . . KILLER OF SHEEP, too, is among the greatest movies of the '70s. It's never gotten the deserved attention.
watched TO SLEEP WITH ANGER yesterday and i know i'm late on this but what a picture. bona fide masterpiece of american filmmaking.

He's treating conservative Christians with the disdain they deserve.
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

I deal with wrongful convictions, so I've seen a lot of confirmation bias from investigators. However, that is a new level of nuts. It's more like a shared delusion, or an infinite rabbit hole that has swallowed the whole gang. I'm grasping to find a thread to follow, and it's just not there.

fuck. yes.
Some great news. My hybrid memoir IN OPEN COUNTRY will now be published by Little, Brown. It’s about freedom of movement and stillness in the US, and the ways capitalism & settler colonialism have shaped (and continue to shape) the answer to who has either across time. I also do a lot of walking.
