JD Vance is a meme pick. It's ridiculous he's a Senator to begin with. He wrote 1 airport book and now he wants to be Vice President. Dr. Oz ass candidate

Two of history's more punchable faces.

Breaking News: Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance, the Ohio senator and “Hillbilly Elegy” author, to be his running mate. nyti.ms/4d1NIjo

Anybody know if "Don't Change" by INXS got a second life on tiktok or something? I always considered it a bit of a deep cut but I just noticed on Spotify that it's got ten times the plays of "The One Thing" which I thought was a much more popular song

Dear pundits: Please proceed with caution when invoking Lincoln's 1st Inaugural Address, and his appeal to the "better angels of our nature." Remember, it didn't work! Quoting an appeal to unity that was followed by 4 years of civil war should give you pause about the power of such appeals. 🗃️

so far i have seen accounts that the shooter was bullied a lot, bullied sometimes, and not bullied much. i think this is just what happens when you ask people what high school was like for other people

I know this is beside the point but why is the endless summer one labeled "for women"? Fellas, is it gay to like the beach now?

Okay so I was on vacation last week and didn't get a chance to share anymore thoughts on Yellow Magic Orchestra's classic second album, Solid State Survivor, but I need to share a couple things now before I move on to their third album, ×∞Multiplies.

So this week I'm moving on to Yellow Magic Orchestra's brilliant sophomore album Solid State Survivor and while the most impactful song is Rydeen I want to start with the killer opener Technopolis. youtu.be/zFADf3CW8zI?...

A clip from that time They Might Be Giants performed “Birdhouse in Your Soul” on the Tonight Show with Doc & the band is going around the other place & made me realize I somehow missed this performance back then. It is amazing. youtu.be/_zkRjrGmTl4

It's on Criterion Channel and they just premiered the Sakomoto concert film Opus too.

Today's Yellow Magic Orchestra thoughts are about their other big single off of their debut: Tong Poo ("East Wind"). This was Ryuichi Sakamoto's first composition for YMO, and while I've heard it hundreds of times, I only recently realized how killer the bass line is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T7T...

the worst dudes online are the guys who are like “the time for electoral politics is over, it’s time for guillotines.” yeah bud i’m sure you’ll stop posting and get the ball rolling on the guillotines any minute now.

"Come down to Bob Ritchie Mazda, where we've got low low interest rates all summer long!"

Just because I don't feel like working today, I decided to test your hypothesis and it 100% checks out.

Okay let's briefly escape our decaying democracy to discuss the self-titled debut from Yellow Magic Orchestra! YMO formed in 1978 when producer/bassist Haruomi Hosono hired session musicians Yukihiro Takahashi (drums) and Ryuichi Sakamoto (keyboards) to record a cover of Martin Denny's Firecracker.

Alright, friends... new month, new band. Starting this week, I'm going to be doing a deep dive of Yellow Magic Orchestra's catalog, one album at a time. I should probably start with how I even discovered YMO (which was only about a year ago). I was on spotify and noticed this recommendation:

This is every truck stop in 1992

got the cassette deck set up and had a hankering to listen to some country the way god intended

I am excited to announce that, now that I'm done with my Kinks deep dive, I'm shifting gears a bit and will start going through the Yellow Magic Orchestra discography one week at a time. If you're not familiar with YMO, imagine if Kraftwerk wrote video game music, but it's much cooler than that.

I’m struck by how the map of where people travel to and from to obtain abortions is similar to maps of The Great Migration. (Credit for map in Alt Text)

“171,000 Traveled for Abortions Last Year: 14,000 Texas patients crossed into New Mexico for an abortion last year. 16,000 left Southern states bound for Illinois. 12,000 traveled north from South Carolina and Georgia to North Carolina.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I try to keep my name and social media separate because I don't want work up in my business with a simple Google search, but "you can't be a leftist and have that job" discourse kinda makes me want it hard to do it the other way too. That discourse is pretty exciting with my resume.
