They Live is a fantastic film but every time I introduce it to a Gen Z friend I'm reminded that the plot boils down to, "two hobos carry out a series of workplace mass shootings because they believe half the population are aliens wearing human skin"

Is RFK jr still worried about sperm count or are all of his thoughts about foreskins now?

Another easy one to check for the media is whether or not every single store in Portland is boarded up or whether there were explosions going off when the governor talked to the president (bonus can be whether or not governor office is in Portland or not).

That thing that’s obviously a bubble that everyone hates? Thumbs up! Good weather from now.
Ominous headline about AI from Financial Times.

The final boss of “Critics have said…”! You don’t need to both sides consensus reality as then you are joining the war against reality.
NBC news against consensus reality.

When I first discovered the Sightings I’d seen them live and was blown away. Finding the second album Michigan Haters(especially the track “Chili Dog”) and this Perfect Sound Forever interview is what got me fully on board: www.furious.com/perfect/sigh...

I kind of like the frog showing up in photos of the “events” in news articles.

I’m a little embarrassed that most of the images of the Portland protests are fairly cringe…but that is a fairly accurate representation of the situation.

That video of the puppy killer Kristi Noem seeing that the Portland protest is eight people and a chicken suit should be played all over.

I think it’s a deeply sad fact that we all immediately know who wore it best.

Of course wouldn’t have realized the misogynistic framing I was using. An interesting cultural document of a moment passed.

Watched the Lilith Fair documentary as I think it’s interesting to revisit phenomena that you were aware of at the time and dismissed, my objection of course was taste, I would have claimed I was into PJ Harvey and Sleater Kinney so any of my criticisms were valid.

It speaks to the frayed, dejected, and numb current mood of social media that we couldn’t get a wildly dumb conversation about Rush touring with a new drummer off the ground besides a few mutters. That’s the type of thing that used to be a week long feast.

The elevation of Bari Weiss is another indication that we’ve entered the golden age of grift.

Also after seeing what a panic the sulfur smell caused in students on Friday I can’t even imagine trying to keep 23 kids from panicking on a bus going through a firestorm.

Watched The Lost Bus as I dug the non fiction book it was based on. A barely dramatized retelling of the Camp Fire which went from “I think there’s a fire in the canyon” to destroying a city in two hours.

A lawsuit is not a strongly worded letter. I don’t want either popping through my mailbox tomorrow but one would ruin my day and the other could ruin my life.

More tapes! I been meaning to grab something by both The Cosmic Tones Research Trio and Hair and Space Museum for a bit, and both were sitting there at Specks.

Move over “I saw some youths popping a wheelie “ bring in the troops, it’s now time for “I saw a closed down 7-11” bring in the troops.

A show I might actually leave the house for. Two of my favorite local artists at my local record store.
Flier for a Pulse Emitter and Saloli show tomorrow.
