The discussion needs to be had as to why Olivia Rodrigo is the best pop star to come out of this decade so far. Not even for her music alone, but for the artists she collabs with, does covers of, and puts on.

It’s my first time listening to this album front to back: for whatever reason, I was expecting to be disappointed, but I’m not at all. Banger after banger.

Honestly forgot how good of an album CRASH is.

If you’re looking for an album that simply radiates with joy, check this out. A Brandi Carlile & Elton John record was not on my radar at all, but I’d be damned if this isn’t a fun listen.

It really is a shame that Ed Sheeran went down the lane of making one-dimensional pop slop.

Thank you to whoever made this

It’s really cool owning & listening to an album that isn’t on streaming. Makes me feel like I possess a forbidden recording.

What is most refreshing about the new Skrillex album is that you’re literally forced to listen to it as an album was intended to be listened to: from front to back. Otherwise, you won’t really get anything out of it.

Hitting shoulders is my least favorite part of arms day. I feel so weak.

I am by no means a conspiracy theorist, but I am genuinely curious how Susan Crawford won so handily in Wisconsin by almost 200,000 votes, just 5 months after Trump won by a little more of 30,000 votes. Could be a case of different turnout levels, but still, it is interesting.

Rest in peace to a legend.

Adrien Brody’s acting in “The Thin Red Line” is a masterclass. The man hardly says a word the whole movie, yet his expressions say so much more than words ever could.

Gym time.

Morgan Wallen is a dipshit, and has always been a dipshit. Not surprised at all by his behavior at SNL.

new video youtu.be/teqkK0RLNkI?...

My favorite YouTubers right now (and the topics they broadly cover): 1. Sean Munger (long-form history) 2. Secular Talk (politics) 3. Mic The Snare (music) 4. Adventure Archives (hiking) 5. Vaush (politics) 6. Aidin Robbins (ecological science)

It's been 3 days and the Chicago GOP is already doing some crazy mask-off anti-Palestinian racism. Surprised it took them this long!

I’m fishing across the Chesapeake Bay from the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland right now, and it could just be my imagination, but it’s more active over there than I can ever remember, judging by the “BOOM”s every 5 minutes.

Gym time.

The rate to which this album has grown on me needs to be studied.

Some of the songs on this album are simply works of art.

If Dems ever get power again - assuming free and fair elections (big assumption) - they will never again have the excuse of “we can’t pass laws through congress and the president is powerless.” Presidency is now a king level position capable of law by EO alone apparently.

One of the most underrated albums from last year.

Timeline cleanse 🌞

The fact that Apple Music still doesn’t consider “Rodeo” to be one of Travis Scott’s “essential albums” is wild.

The fact that the people who watched the first season of Severance when it originally aired had the ability to wait for a full 2 1/2 years for the next season to arrive is a testament to human patience. Season 1’s finale is simply bananas.

“I Said I Love You First” might just be Selena Gomez’ best album so far, solely in terms of how cohesive the record sounds. It doesn’t sound like Jello being thrown at the wall to see what sticks.

If I see one more headline about how Republican senators & reps are “concerned” about something Trump or Elon is doing, I will fucking scream. They might be concerned, but are they doing anything about that concern? No, because they (and most Dems) are a bunch of cowards.

Ok yeah, this movie is pretty damn good: I get why it won all those Oscars. Definitely need to rewatch it at some point soon.

“I smell like Porsche and Benihanas/I never let 'em see me sweat, even in a sauna” might be the hardest line of the year.

Every now & then, I listen to Taylor’s “reputation” again just to remind myself of its undisputed-to-my-ears classic status.

This looks incredible.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

CALL YOUR SENATORS! I just called one of mine: Angela Alsobrooks. I didn’t vote for her in November to watch her potentially cave in to the fascist dickwads 3 months in to her term: I voted for her so she could FIGHT BACK.

Hot take that may or may not age well: TikTok is going to have a field day with Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco’s newest song.

Monocacy National Battlefield, Frederick, Maryland. 3/3/25.

The fallout from this will hurt so many people, it’s not even funny.

Well caring deeply about politics turned out to be a mistake. Time to instead become emotionally invested in a field where I’ll never be let down: sports

Sam Seder has the patience of a saint for being to deal with these idiots for over an hour & a half (probably longer, before editing). Jesus Christ, so many young people are stupid & ignorant, and I say that as a young guy.

There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now. The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.

Whilst not perfect, “The Gorge” is a great film for a movie night or the like. It can be a little formulaic at times, but not “Netflix Original” formulaic, which is nice. Miles Teller isn’t as charismatic as I thought he might be, but Anna Taylor-Joy kills her role (per usual). Overall, not bad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sometimes you just have to go into Bath & Body Works, and treat yourself with a candle.

Not a fan of the NYT, BUT Ezra Klein has been dropping some absolute bangers over there recently.

This new Tory Lanez album is a little too bloated, BUT there’s still plenty of great tracks, this song in particular.

This album has steadily grown on me so much since it dropped.

This new Lady Gaga album...holy shit.

It’s a shame that Marilyn Monroe is more known today for her looks than for her filmography, because every movie I’ve seen so far with her in it has been decent to really good, “Niagara” being in the latter category. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The face of a man who wasn’t bullied enough in school.
