On this day, Dr. Manhatten first reappears after his atomized destruction in a lab accident. Happy November 10th to all who observe.

You know someone feels good about a decision when it's done on the dead of night of a Sunday evening. Democrats, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Receiving a newsletter at this stage of 2025 encouraging me to "pivot to video" makes me feel like I'm trapped in the worst kind of deja vu hell.

Still a little amazed Nick Cave made it all the way through the 2010s without getting cancelled.

I'm not sure Sydney Sweeney's vocal fry will let me buy her as a female boxer.

Odd Man Out (1947)

Starts out with James Mason seeing faces talking to him in the beer bubbles spilled across a pub table...

The only language he had was the creak of the stairs. It was enough to break through the delicate film between worlds, but not enough to convey meaning. Still, he tried, night after night, to write lines of memoir with his footsteps, while his readers listened, shivering, in their beds.

Judging from the percentage of ""heterodox"-publications-masquerading-as-"just-asking-questions"-liberals" publishing "socialism is bad, actually" takes this morning, conservatives seem pretty seriously rattled after last night.

I know there aren't exactly many conservatives on this site, but how people feeling about the President spending $3.4 million to throw a gross Great Gatsby Halloween party while 42 million Americans lose their food stamps?

i said "kiss me, you're beautiful, these are truly the end days." And we fell into it, like a daydream, or a fever.

Album of the Day 294

Tongues of Light - Channeled Messages at the End of History

Chilling Theosophical field recordings over crackles and light, airy drones. Like Rosicrucians opening the ether in a turn-of-the-century film reel.

Natural Information Society - Perseverance Flow

Hypnotic holy minimalism from Natural Information Society reminds us we can't step into the same river of song twice. Free-flowing, meditative, organic, ever-evolving.

Kelly Moran - Don't Trust Mirrors (@warprecords.bsky.social)

Reflective, hypnotic post-minimalism for prepared piano, transforming the ebony box into a jewelled music box playing Aphex Twin melodies.

'Don't Trust Mirrors' remains in the same glistening, almost mystical psychic environment of Kelly Moran's body of work.
