Still boggling over how foolish this is—introduce legislation to create an inspector general?? The problem isn't that the New York City mayorship isn't subject to enough institutional oversight, it's that this particular mayor is a crook who cut a deal with a crook president. You can remove him!

Never realized Kurt Cobain and Olivia Rodrigo have the same birthday

Complete cowardice. Feel stupid for briefly thinking Hochul might do a brave and good thing

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

A sharper, more concise rebuke of MAGA and all it stands for than almost any prominent Democrat has been able to offer

I wish I could say it was surprising that Sens. @schumer.senate.gov and Gillibrand haven't said a word about the crisis of leadership in the largest city of the state they represent, but sadly, such a lack of courage and moral clarity is par for the course for them

I need everyone to send me good thoughts. Today I'm formally pitching A24 my idea of making an MJ Lenderman biopic that gradually reveals, via nightmarish flashbacks, that MJ Lenderman is actually Neil Young after taking The Substance.

When you're someone who doesn't care about other people in public spaces and you suddenly stand still at the top or bottom of a subway staircase, that must feel great

Phish at Phorest Hills!

One of my key pieces of wisdom as both music journalist and music fan is that an artist's later stuff does not, in fact, always suck

I'm guessing they will instead go with "Maybe the hateful, vindictive man who has stumbled into inconceivable power will relinquish that power voluntarily"

Post Malone fronting Nirvana: obviously not as good as if Kurt was still around (duh) but also entirely inoffensive? They sounded solid! Can't imagine getting worked up about such a thing

The brazenness of all of this makes it so much more demoralizing, and that's the point

?????

Uh

Telling that since Inauguration Day, of the many times I've called Schumer and Gillibrand's offices, no one has picked up, not once

AT LONG LAST (and now we wait...)

Unbelievably bleak that this is our "opposition" party against fascism

In @billboard.com's new cover story, Travis Scott says he wants to collaborate with Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter – and Khruangbin www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip...

Demanding answers AND filing an amicus brief?! Wow!!

Will never forget or forgive that all of what we're seeing now in the second Trump term was a risk Democrats decided was acceptable if it meant they didn't have to move an inch to the left during the campaign

Say what you want about The Black Keys – you don't dig their music, they played a gig for crypto bros, whatever – but this new interview about their management split addresses the music industry's current consolidation in an honest way most artists won't publicly www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Always a great sign when your stomach makes the opening noise from Yeezus

A masterpiece, S-tier 2010s

Yeah, go Eagles

It's wild how the only thing the Democrats are good at is texting me asking me for money
