The Doors are bad, but Thailand's Lam Morrison (แหลม มอริสัน) is worth your time! Lam is stage-named after Jim M, because he covered Doors songs for American GIs at airbases in the '60s-70s. But he is much more talented, as well as sympathetic. Vintage footage here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk7C...

I got a barbershop shave today, and the long version of “Light My Fire” came on, so I really got to do a deep listen, eyes closed and the whole thing. “Holy shit are the Doors embarrassing!,” was what I thought about for 7 minutes. Am I missing something? I could be convinced by serious arguments.

Trump would absolutely start a public fight with Johnny Cash if "Man in Black" had dropped in 2025; "He doesn't isn't even a Real Guitar!" etc (sic)

Cryptic clues can be brutal. Is “said” a homophone indicator? Is “bad” (or “orgies”?!) an anagram indicator? I’m so stumped.

There’s bigger things to resent about the Pacers, but I do just want to note that 0 and 00 (on Mathurin and Halliburton’s uniforms) are not different numbers

You know those scenes where a succession of twelve bad guys in a warehouse get absolutely housed by RoboCop, and then for some reason a thirteenth bad guy decides to try, as if somehow it'll be different for him. Anyway, that's what I think about whenever I see that a university has a new president

“RoboCop” is a remarkable cultural object in that it’s plainly a defund-the-police picture, which nonetheless seems to have succeeded mostly on the basis of viewers ignoring its social critiques.

My son is anguished about the Knicks, so I told him it was good for his soul to root for losing teams, and anyway it’s just what Jews do. He then asked why Jews always lose, which I couldn’t argue with.

I’ve had a couple conversations recently that began “so are you canvassing for Mamdani?” and later proceeded to “yeah, @jessicaramosqns.bsky.social would have been better but he’s great at social media” and it maybe feels like we’ve all entered the funhouse a bit too willingly?
