I wrote some words about a tremendous album that really just keeps getting better, even 30 years on.
Sonic Youth :: Washing Machine at 30

Three decades in, Washing Machine now feels like the most clear divide between the first and second halves of Sonic Youth’s career, an insightful Polaroid of the band at that fiery transitional moment.

If you can't be embarrassed with Trump, where can you be?
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

How the Swiss convinced Trump to drop tariffs with gifts of a Rolex desk clock and a 1 kg gold bar.

Been revisiting and rethinking about E.M. Forster's "The Machine Stops" a lot recently. I was blown away when I first read it, mostly because it's not what I expected from a Forster short story. But also by how wildly prescient it feels today.

I just got the most terrifying email.

I finished one place out of promotion in Learned League last season, but I guess they needed the numbers because I got promoted to A Rundle.

Pray for Mojo.

"The average voter believes a SNAP recipient gets $20/day, more than 3 times the actual amount of $6."

This is an unpopular opinion that is really accurate. It's a cart and horse thing. You need accessibility via better pay (the horse) to encourage more diversity in representation (the cart). Part of why people hate this idea so much is because the current yahoos really don't deserve the money.
state legislators should be paid more. otherwise the legislatures are full of dilettantes, cranks, and nepobabies. this is why you keep hearing about the craziest fucking state laws
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

Bought a used copy online of the Harry Houdini biography I read as a kid that I always loved, and the exact thing I hoped for is happening: my daughter is devouring it.

So, anyone who pre-ordered the Replacements' LET IT BE boxset hear anything about shipping yet? I feel like Rhino regularly ships these out late.
