When you think about it, it's kinda weird the extracts of two highly processed tropical beans became the flavors for the world's two most popular ice creams, even coming to represent light and dark, blandness and flavor, purity and indulgence in our Manichaean worldview

The only proper ending to “I’m no fan of Alex Jones but…” is “the rest of Waking Life is awesome.”

ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.

One of these days I’m going to get drunk enough to watch Rise of Skywalker, but today’s not that day

I sincerely love that every forum and social network I’ve ever been on since 1995 has had this thread at least once a week.

What throwaway Simpsons joke lives in your head full-time? For me it’s Dr Hibbert deciding not to eat at Moe’s and instead taking the family to the Texas Cheesecake Depository

For reasons I no longer recall, I decided a while ago to watch the Simpsons from the beginning. The first 10 years were sooo good and now I'm slogging through the last 20 and it's all worth it for this one sign.

Was a joy watching the underrated second half 69 Love Songs at the Curran. Stephen Merritt was in a great mood, even climbing a step-ladder during “Yeah! Oh, Yeah”

Heheh, “rushed the climax.”

was looking for a recording of a piece student and fuckin ben shapiro playing the violin popped up. being a thorough hater i gave it a listen; his violin was tuned sharp but he was playing flat, he rushed the climax and his vibrato is erratic, if anyone needs this info

I know I have seven followers here, and this is the last minute, but if anyone wants a ticket to Rhiannon Giddens in SF tonight at 8PM at the Filmore, let me know here.

Raichik *wants* people to be afraid to report on her. I'm really shocked by the number of people saying "You should give Raichik what she wants and not write about her at all in this context!" This isn't the same as inviting her on the fuckin' Tonight Show, guys. 9/
