I love a Gen X band keeping the torch alive for getting PAID FOR THEIR DAMN MUSIC. 

And who uses a public bathroom without locking the door?

Maybe this is a generational divide, but I assumed “written it down immediately” meant the Notes app on his phone. Because no, people don’t usually bring a pen and paper into a Portapotty these days.

If those assholes get back into office, prepare to write hundreds of variations on that comment. People are not grasping what it means. Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision is the most significant event in this country since 9-11, and possibly the most significant since the onset of the Civil War.

B.G. can’t casually hang out with people who have a felony, but the President can order assassinations and coups against US citizens as “official acts” and enjoy complete immunity. #America2024

We can’t write about cars anymore because of woke.

And that little network of blogs, whom nobody liked, grew up to be... sold off piece by piece until maybe one …

It’s odd how so many people are framing this like the Alamo brand or experience is going to change drastically. It’s just going to gradually get more expensive, you silly geese.

There’s also still the IFC theater and Film Forum. And Angelika too I think. (In terms of independent theaters that’ll show weird shit, not necessarily sit-down-and-eat theaters)

NYC moviegoers still have Nighthawk. 

Bomer does seem like the perfect Clark Kent: Handsome, square-jawed, statuesque, with a perfect wave of dark hair.
