One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

You know how quickly the boys found you, Charlie Brown. All those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars, while you could only dream of getting out, getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI…
Ah, you think darkness is your ally, Charlie Brown?
Is it safe, Charlie Brown?

I generally think that "dead internet theory" is pretty accurate. I think most internet traffic is just data scraping. I don't see a way forward for the tech industry unless the government steps in and starts breaking up companies like Meta and Google.

RIP Udo Kier. The best time to watch BACURAU is right now.

Yes. The content I crave.

It was Oswald and the Commission was thorough and in good faith, but only to an extent. It was agenda-driven and focused on enforcing a narrative that cauterized inflaming foreign relations. What it disregarded, ignored, and omitted in favor of that agenda backfired in the form of conspiracy theory.
We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

One of the best music essays I’ve ever read.
Thanks so much to GQ for publishing my liner notes for the new Replacements 'Let It Be' boxset, out on Friday. Extra special thanks to Jessica Hopper, Patterson Hood and Brian Paulson for their extraordinary insights. What an absolute joy this project has been to work on. www.gq.com/story/when-t...
When The Replacements' Courage Was at its Peak
On their 1984 album ‘Let It Be,’ the Minneapolis indie-rock wastrels spewed a message of working-class passion and outsider solidarity into the world's answering machine.

On this day in 1951, John Preston “Pete” Hill passed way at the age of 69. The five-tool player was considered one of the first superstars in black baseball. Here’s an in-progress painting of him with the Chicago Leland Giants in 1907, facing the Cuban Stars of Havana at Logan Park.

Joe basically exists as a blue force ghost in my head and heart now, but it was nice to see such thoughtful and insightful kindness from Lee about the show this many years on. Feeling couldn’t be more mutual.

The man I share a birthday with, and the character I feel like all the time.
Burgess Meredith, born today in 1907

Of “Time Enough at Last”, he said: “I don’t think I’ve ever done any other project that people talk to me more about than that show. .. It’s gotten to the point where when they first approach me, I almost know what they’re going to say.”

“Twilight Zone” (S1:E8)

LAKE YELLOWWOOD SLAUGHTER is the graphic novel "adaptation" of a 1983 slasher movie that never existed (directed by a has-been giallo filmmaker cashing in on Hollywood's new slasher fad). This time, the summer camp killer goes after the parents. It's by me and Gavin Guidry…and you can order it here!

I just read OUT OF ALCATRAZ by @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social & @mrtylercrook.bsky.social and it's in rare air: a propulsive, plot-driven caper AND an in-depth, lived-in character study of every player on the board. Gripping, thrilling, everyone has angles and secrets and shadows…it's a hell of a thing

This is tragic through and through. Real voices, real artists, and the world takes them.
