I’m sorry my of convinced of all the ATCs went on strike during Thanksgiving and demanded Trump and Vance resign, they could maybe get that to happen. These people do not understand how important these people they’re threatening are.

It’s a shame that GTA VI has been delayed but I’m excited by Rockstar’s promise that the extra time will allow them to give all the pedestrians in the game “a rich inner life” and “the capacity to actually experience pain”

The only performative reading I know about is that I used to be neighbors with Ethan Hawke and he would pace up and down the street in jeans and a t-shirt, smoking and running his hands through his hair, while reading Allen Ginsberg aloud, clearly wanting people to be impressed with his fervor.

As a certified Metal fan now, the Grammys needs to expand their Metal palette when it comes to their nominations.
The fact that Turnstile, NOT A METAL BAND (granted Birds is definitely a pretty metal song though), got a nomination, is wrong. There's so much interesting and amazing Metal out there.

Hatchie has finally made the Cocteau Twins album I've always wanted to hear from her.
Her early EPs were pure The Sundays. And now she's leaned into the Robin and Liz of it all. Love it.

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

This fact is WILD! A Republican administration honoring Eugene Fucking Debs??!?!!
My inner social democrat enjoyed Zohran Mamdani quoting Eugene Debs last night. I vaguely recall my then-even-more-suppressed inner social democrat being pleased in 1990 when Debs was inducted during the first Bush administration into the Labor Department's Hall of Honor.

The details are horrifying.

This is true but also this is bad!
It's been *nine years* since Michelle Obama said "when they go low we go high." She said that at a Clinton convention where the Dem theme was that they were the responsible party and Trump was crazy.
They lost to Trump twice. The norms are gone. You want them back for your team? Too late!
