Ability to create art has zero input on ability to critique art. They're two separate skills. Plenty of critics have made some *mediocre* art, and some of the worst music writing I've read has come from musicians clearly out over their skis

North Americans are my favorite of the Ambient side of the current wave of Ambient Americana. Skee Mask meanwhile made Compro, which is at worst my third favorite electronica album of the 2010s. I am *fascinated* by what this could sound like

The defining television show of this century is Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Premiered two days before 9/11, ended in the twilight of the Obama years aka the last gasp of the postwar liberal order, and was briefly brought back from the dead during the Biden interregnum's zombie liberalism bit

I was all for keeping Jayden Daniels in to try to chase points against one of the best offenses in the NFL, but if retroactively deciding it was a terrible call means we can pin the latest awful Daniels injury on Dan Quinn and shitcan his ass then I'm all for it

Guy in Defector comments calling Brett Favre one of the most overrated QBs ever is maybe the most non-ball knowing, wish casting based on my feelings ass takes I've ever seen. Im seeing red, I don't even like the Packers and it enrages me. The fuck are you talking about

This, the article in Wired yesterday about the burnerverse, it's all the same thing, the same low rent grotesques hooting and clapping because they know shame is a thing that happen to other people, never them. It's just what culture looks like now.

Players will have to take care of GTA 6's two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, as eating will affect their weight, working out will visibly change their build and strength, and a lack of sleep will negatively impact their features. https://bit.ly/4d3mI5z

Between Ryan Nanni leaving the Shutdown Fullcast and this, feels like the end of an era for sports blog adjacent podcasts. Eventually it'll just be Simmons' head in a jar debating the merits of Speed 2

12. Plenty of them. The Giver in elementary, Wuthering Heights, Slaughterhouse Five 13. No 14. Also no 15. Consider The Lobster: consider an extremely 90s-early 00s pov journalism that seems quaint now but I'm sure hit like a brick at the time. 3 1/2 repressed conservative geniuses out of five

Made a twitter burner out of curiosity to see what's going on in there. Music twitter still has the juice but man everybody is a lot angrier and meaner than I remember

See we just *had to". You don't understand, he's a man of the people. Democrats have to be a big tent party. We must insist that the sexual assault Nazi marine lobster guy be senator.

Alright the freaks over on music twitter might be onto something with the Nirosta Steel album. Sounds remarkably like the lost connection between the chillwave acts (Neon Indian et al) and the humid scuzzy waterlogged (and notably queer) 80s sounds they were chasing

Big news, I am playing guitar for Bob Dylan tonight in Austin. I am learning all of his big songs. "Whoa Poor Billy", "Working Man Coal Miner Blues", "Nashville Disco", "Silvio", the 20 minute one about JFK
