I am very enthusiastically in search of tickets for Yo La Tengo at Bowery Ballroom this Hanukkah season! Especially Dec. 15-18.
If you are, or know, someone with extras, think of me!

And even if there were people who didn’t want to earn anything beyond their UBI, just veg out, watch TV, read library books, hang out with friends — they’re still spending that UBI.
The money flows to local purveyors of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, etc. It still makes the economy go.

My hot take is: the primary goal of a sitting representative should not be winning upcoming elections.
[Alex Nguyen, a spokesman for Mr. Schumer, disputed that notion. “Our North Star is winning the Senate majority in 2026 and any decision is made to achieve that goal,” he said in a statement.]

The second rule of Fight Club is actually "you may allow nine people with direct knowledge of its deliberations to speak anonymously to the New York Times"

This bad-faith "release the Epstein grand jury transcripts" thing from the DOJ is annoying every time.
And every time it gets me all worked up about Jesus de Galindez and McKeever v. Barr.

I think @brianbeutler.bsky.social got it right when he compared this horrid spectacle to "Bumfights for the literati"
At a certain point, all the Nuzzi/Lizza/RFK/Sanford/whatever stuff starts to feel like we're all being forced to participate in some weird fetish of the media elite.

I can't even find this on *CD* for less than $100 in the US. What a weird rollout this has been. Just nominated for a Grammy, and it's unclear if it's currently in print.
Nick Drake - "The Making of Five Leaves Left" (2025)
My pre-order for this got canceled because there's a fucking moron in the White House, but I managed to snag another copy for twice the price. Would that that was the only negative impact of Drumpf.
