And I bought one!

The trivia question was to finish the song title: Echo & the Bunnymen's "Bedbugs and-" I very quickly responded with "beyond" which means I've hit my comedy peak for the weekend at least.

Shout out to everyone who told me Biden couldn’t fire DeJoy.

Happy 92nd birthday to Yoko Ono, the coolest Beatle.

LOOK LIVELY

1) Why not pick ALL the fights? I get if you don't have the energy to do it individually (there's a LOT going on) but this kind of shaming is useless 2) As useless as this name change is, none of the rest of the world gives a hot fuck, nor should they So yeah, people don't like your capitulation.

I'm sure I ain't telling youse nothing you don't know, but I just gotta say that Mitch McConnell is the very fucking definition of "too little too late"

Dear @pbs.org , this is really sad to see. Trump wants you eliminated, why would you bend the knee like this? It won't win you anything and disappoints all of us still hoping for a way through.

Read every one of his books. Still Life With Woodpecker got me at just the right time to change my brain. 92 is a hell of a run. Requiescat.

Pre-summer: playing upright bass in practice rooms, trying to bring my 4 track to shows like a nerd Post-summer: scared of communal bathing

Brilliant record. Three piece (bass, drums, synth) post hardcore, two of these three would later form Camera Obscura (the non-twee San Diego one.) Their album is also brilliant and is apparently getting reissued soon, but don't miss this.

Tonight's viewing: From Darkness to Light, the documentary about Jerry Lewis' unfinished film, The Day the Clown Cried. In and of itself, fascinating story well told, and I'm glad the filmmakers were able to get Jerry on camera to discuss it. The footage of the film itself is a different story.

My brain immediately made the "person who witnessed the episode" sound like Droopy Dog

Well, folks, it was a good run. Made it almost five years!

Ubuweb is back in action

Tonight's movie: Squaring the Circle: the Story of Hipgnosis. A delightful, pull-no-punches documentary. Anton Corbijn brings great style and emotion to a film that could have easily been one of those "and then THIS happened" style docs.

take heed @amerrill2.bsky.social

You may think this isn't a big deal, but it is. Not because of the issue they were debating, but because the ENTIRE mainstream media printed a Trump press release without questioning it. That's not good.

And lo! My first favorite album of 2025 reveals itself. RIYL Petrol Girls, riot grrls, or as they put it themselves "party music for gay angry sluts" lambrinigirlsband.bandcamp.com/album/who-le...
