Just a guy who did an antifascist drawing once, and used to tweet about Holiday Road. Also just a guy not actually named Nolan. I have an itchy block finger and am often in a foul mood, but I swear I’m often nice! Co-host of @MMISpodcast.bsky.social He/Him

This is literally the most sincere statement I have ever made online and ever will. I believe it to my bones and the day I stop believing it is the day I am no longer me, and I hope it’s the day I die.

We have been taught for so long (my generation especially) that the biggest sin in life is to let someone get one up on you. So what? Life isn’t a contest; the people selling you that already consider you the pawns in their game. Empathy being destroyed is the death of anything good in human culture

It’s so weird that I know Kirby lived until 1994 and I remember when he died but in my brain if I’m not thinking about it he died in like 1985.

Count Basie could’ve listened to Weird Al.

He was a weirdly particular man. Though to be fair even golden age Disney versions of folklore almost always disappointed people who were familiar with actual ancient folk tales.

She also could’ve listened to Ray J, but she couldn’t have watched his reality show.

Wyatt Earp could’ve watched Steamboat Willie.

J.R.R. Tolkien could’ve listened to “Ramble On, “Misty Mountain Hop,” and “The Battle of Evermore” by Led Zeppelin, and would’ve hated all three songs!

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Ok, now I actually want this unironically.

Lord, you and I have not always seen eye to eye, but please don’t do this to us now. Give us a few years to get our shit together before dropping this on us.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

I mean, Helmet did a pretty fun Custard Pie, IIRC

Woltergeist II: The Other Side @wolter.bsky.social · 10h

The following songs are where I’m most curious just because they MIGHT work: Custard Pie, Trampled Underfoot, When the Levee Breaks

And I suppose the Crunge, but that was already a James Brown funk pastiche. .

Fay Wray was almost 7 when Archduke Franz Ferdinand II was assassinated and she could also have listened to the first Franz Ferdinand album.

This just made me realize that Fay Wray could’ve listened to Franz Ferdinand.
