Having male-pattern baldness is no big deal but having Edgar Kennedy-pattern baldness is honestly a bit much.

It was and is wrong and they’re correct to be vocally angry but depressing that it took abuse of a senator to get senators upset.

Now I want to know if the Highlands Kroger has Health Department records of the times McConnell has been spotted there.

see, he shouldn't have had to identify himself as a senator (he did in fact do that) for it to be FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE FOR A PERSON TO BE THROWN ON THE GROUND AND HANDCUFFED FOR ASKING A QUESTION

In any rational universe, Rick Moranis returning to the screen would be the big news today and the only thing worth talking about. Wish we lived in one.

Very important analysis about differences between the federal consent decree and what is now being proposed. Is Louisville’s police department really the decision maker on what reforms it thinks are worth making? www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2...

an incomplete list of things I have had to force onto a crying toddler: - antibiotics - bedtime - shoes - toast that had been cut into triangles rather than squares - a banana that had snapped in half and she didn't want a *new* banana, she wanted me to fix *this* banana

It’s 102 years to the day since the deeply eccentric Edith Sitwell sat behind a curtain at London’s Aeolian Hall, reciting bizarre poetry through what looked like a traffic cone, prompting Noel Coward to take the piss, which started a highly entertaining multi-decade literary feud...🧵

It wasn’t my intention to spend the last 45 minutes listening to the first disc of the SMiLE box but there it is. The organ sounds from this and Pet Sounds have haunted me, and that’s the word, for most of my life.

Brian Wilson would want you to save Southern California from these assholes, for the record.

Been listening to the sad/transcendent ones instead of the glorious beautiful wackiness of the full SMiLE version of “Heroes & Villains” and enjoying the existential dilemma: do I keep descending with the “doo doo d’doo” pattern, or take the little blue notes after the 3rd one? You know what I mean.

Here’s how he worked. He’s trying to get the Wrecking Crew musicians to play what he hears in his head. The film “Love and Mercy” dramatizes this especially well. Also well worth watching: Don Was’ “Brian Wilson: I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times.” Both on Prime. youtu.be/uVlSVkzbJDA

Brian Wilson was my friend and my brother in songwriting. We shared a similar sensibility, as evidenced by his 4 over 5 chord under “Aaaah!” in "Good Vibrations” and mine under "I’m into something good.” We once discussed who used it first, and in the end we decided it didn’t matter. (Continued)

Like how dare he turn a goofy teen drag racing tragedy song (without even the tragedy) into one of the most beautiful things ever made?
