Forcing you to have a fake conversation with a chatbot when you could just do a simple keyword search is the new forcing you to have a meeting or phone call when “it could have been an email.”

one of the best things about living in Pasadena is sending your kid to the same elementary school Eddie and Alex Van Halen went to and discovering there’s a tiny Frankenstrat on the back of the school’s 100 year anniversary shirt

This place rules, Ghostwood Manor in Pasadena. Super ambitious front driveway DIY haunted house walkthrough. Last two years was a ghost pirate ship thing, this year it’s THE Thing.

I can only assume that the reason the new OTC is not already reviewed on Pitchfork and in their weekly “10 news albums to listen to” Friday feature is that they’re so legit indie and cool and iconic they didn’t hire a publicist

I held a reusable grocery bag with $700k in Benjamins this year, so I can relate - and may have to vote GOP now?

Trump's affordability message: "Did you ever see a pile of a million dollars in hundred dollar bills? It's big!"

I wish AirBNB had changed their check-out chore rules before I had to delete my account because some aggro San Francisco yoga maniac left my family a scathing one star review because we left two unwashed coffee mugs in the sink.

it’s almost a miracle that this exists — I feel so lucky to have gotten to spend a little time with the mad genius Will Cullen Hart while he was still here, wish I could have met Bill Doss

In India the Trumpy Islamophobic, Hindu nationalist ruling party BJP removed 130 million voters from the rolls. A gigantic demonstration was planned today in Delhi and the government was so threatened that they arrested the protest leaders & 1000 other people, and shut down the internet and trains.

Trump: "I take an aspirin a day. I don't know if it works but psychologically I need it. It thins the hell out of your blood I guess ... They want me to go down to the 80. I take the 386. I don't know what the hell it is. It's a monster. They said, 'Sir, you don't need that!'"

New EP out today on Ghostly from Kate Bollinger, 60’s influenced pop genius à la Elephant 6, is a miniature masterpiece. A concept album about working in a bookstore? Produced by Jonathan Rado of Foxygen.

with everything else that’s going on in the news I don’t blame people for not being caught up on the fact that David Ellison announced he’s going to “respect” the names & legacies of the two movie studios his dad bought for him, Paramount & Warner Bros, by getting rid of the names of both of them

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

👀 Paramount is pursuing an 8-figure deal for the rights to a Lindsey Graham documentary, which is said to include behind-the-scenes footage of the late senator speaking candidly with David Ellison. The scoop in @status.news www.status.news/p/paramount-...
