this year was the worst (maybe the best?) year to do dry January but it’s over. Time to fire up the lowest quality iPhone recorded music performances on YouTube babbbyyyy

this is probably the most “this is why we had to do a podcast” post we’ve ever seen

If you are seeing all the Emilia Perez nominations and thinking you maybe should watch Emilia Perez, you really don’t need to. You could live your entire life without seeing Emilia Perez. It would be a good life.

Spent last year watching just about every David Lynch movie. It completely rewired my brain in a way that I am grateful for

Trying to come up with a way to hype up the upcoming Michael Cera Palin record while also being too embarrassed to say the band’s name

Many people are talking about Kathleen Turner in Serial Mom

shoutout to online urbanists for being able to constantly package an objectively correct opinion into the most obnoxious and offputting message possible

Most played recently. Chromakopia still dominating but that new father john misty record is surprisingly good. Phantom thread and boy and the heron soundtracks get a lot of play while I write briefs

I think being in sports from a very young age fucked up my ability to be chill about hobbies. I can’t have fun watching movies, running, reading, lifting, etc. unless I am constantly getting better at it

hell yeah brother

Not only does Bullitt (1968) rip but this McQueen outfit in it is also pretty undeniable

Pardoning your son? That's good actually. Not pardoning many others? That's what is bad.

I'm sitting here on the group W bench cause you want to know if I'm moral enough to join the army, burn women, kids, houses, and villages... after being a litterbug www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaKI...

Revisiting the Manchester Orchestra discography as I often do and am still convinced they are the greatest active American rock band youtu.be/5s3ytiYZS8g?...

Real crisis of faith upending my life rn (thinking about switching from Spotify to Apple Music)

a lot of people who want to see nerdy appellate law shit followed me because I'm in an appellate lawyer starter pack but I almost never post about the law because I hate it. Just a means of freeing others

I’m not saying it will be good when I find out I’ll have student loans for the rest of my life but the NYT headline “McMahon gives rock bottom to government employees with student debt” will be kind of funny

Had about as nice of a tattoo session today as you can while having needles dragged through your skin. Artist put on Brand New and we reminisced about the blissful few months between Science Fiction’s release and the bad Jesse news

Utes, jazz, UHC, Aces. Need the WNBA to start so I can watch sports without the Leo KoTFM frown

New linkin park record out on a leg day? That’s god smiling upon me

lmao emilia perez

sorry to whoever followed me because I ended up on an appellate attorney list. I am only interested in the arcana of writing and the law so far as being good at it helps free my clients. Anyway here’s what I’ve been listening to and am more likely to post about

really helpful thing about being a public defender right now is that I and everyone I work with are very comfortable catastrophizing but continuing to do the work anyway

Many people are saying you can no longer drink two beers, listen to nu-metal and play halo. Because of wokeness. I am proving the haters wrong

Haven’t posted here in a while so I think it is worth saying something brave and important. You can watch John wick 3 and have a gin martini tonight. I gave myself permission and I extend the same to you

every criminal defense bar has one tanner bolt and I would trust him with my life

when you are excited and happy about how great and affecting a movie is but the longer you sit with it the more affecting it becomes :( I saw the iron claw today lmao

going to shows two weeknights in a row this week. will be sure to send the results to any scientists who might be studying the durability of a 32 yr old body if mine is still functioning

really big crisis going on over here in the dylan world. have an appointment to get a new drivers license on thursday and my hair looks like shit on account of I’m in the middle of growing it out

I am hearing reports that it is only mentally well people who can’t sleep and binge an entire season of the bear far past their normal bedtime

growing up is choosing a thanksgiving dish based on appeal instead of skill. Volunteer to make the baked macaroni and cheese, no one will be disappointed

saltburn? more like direct a movie you didn’t write because it seems like you can probably direct but your instincts for theme and language and metaphor are very bad but I even have doubts about your ability to do that

one of the worst things about being a lawyer is when I am in the middle of writing a brief and notice I am having fun, exposing myself as a dweeb

one thing no one realizes is that you can watch the girl with the dragon tattoo on a Tuesday night with a gin and tonic and no one can stop you

idk man some lyrics are both indecipherable and also rule. no fucking idea what “the shape of your data got me astral projecting” could possibly mean but I love that shit and sing along every time
