Not as much as we hate ourselves, pal.

That's the impression I'm getting. It's still weird that Phil Collins could work with so many interesting musicians and still be so Phil Collins.

Yeah, I never worked out the time line, but Collins showed up on a lot of albums by a lot of interesting people, and then turned into Phil Collins anyhow.

Yes, nothing takes the taste of shame and humiliation out of your mouth quite like Bebopareebop Reverb Pie.

It's always struck me as a bit odd that Peter Gabriel worked with Phil Collins on his solo stuff, which was fairly forward looking, at the same time that Collins was dragging Genesis into making stuff like "Illegal Alien".

I hate using Uber, and have never used Air BnB, because I still think getting into a stranger's car or home is beyond creepy. I like the modicum of professionalism, and the mandatory liability insurance, a hotel offers, and I grew up taking busses and trains and don't see why I have to get in Joe Six-Pack's Accord to…

Given the way he comports himself, I'm way past any empathy, or any human connection whatsoever, with Donald Trump. He's beyond redeeming, and has been for decades. He's an enemy of all mankind, and I don't think of him in human terms anymore. He's a man-shaped insect swarm, a cloud of vermin seething out of a sewer…

Tragic? No. Tragic would be if he was exactly as dumb and cruel as he looks, and he got elected anyway.

People like Stephen King.

I call the big one Bitey.

I think a show about a government agency torturing a child into becoming a psychic spy and assassin which inadvertently opens a rift into a parallel dimension which is home to Lovecraftian horrors is dark enough, but thanks anyhow.

Congratulations.

That sort of behavior, with the intent to make the poor suffer while helping the rich, should be grounds for excommunication.

What's this, he's writing the soundtrack to the Oogieloves sequel?

I got to watch the eclipse with about a half-dozen of my younger coworkers yesterday, and seeing the awe on their faces gave me a feeling of connection and, maybe, joy, the likes of which I haven't felt in a long time. I kind of needed that.

To quote MC 900 Foot Jesus, truth is out of style.

Between this and that Pattycakes movie, it's just old home week for insufferable young people who want to be musicians.

I wouldn't panic.

Why have Americans stopped eating turtle? Because there isn't an industrial base of turtle production as there is for beef, pork, and chicken. It's not cost effective, and frankly, there's no reason to produce it in industrial quantities.

That comes decades too late for the worst ones out there.
