the only book you need on writing

Happy Economic Blackout to all who celebrate (you should celebrate)

Brian Eno's "Ambient 1" only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it went on to start an airport.

This is a very fun take on how to prepare for the economy to collapse. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/d...

Writing is working on it until it's right.

Less than $500 to $22k for my contribution to the Save the Reader fundraiser: can we reach that number by midnight cst?

I would live in a town like this www.newyorker.com/news/dispatc...

Proud of my home state seeing these screenshots. Support each other. 🫶

I’ve listened to goddamn “Ants Marching” by Dave Matthews Band three times today, including a live-in-concert superjam version. What has come over me, I do not know.

Remember when we canceled Howard Dean because he whooped too loudly?

Never seen someone play a drum set as softly as Alan Sparhawk’s drummer is playing now at their show. Sublime.

Just made a donation 💪

As subscription rates in the US for Spotify go up, artist payment rates go… down. This is why we need the Living Wage for Musicians Act, which would guarantee direct payment to artists from subscription money for streams

Jan 6 was investigated and largely prosecuted as domestic terrorism. The pardons should be reported and spoken of accordingly. An endorsement of terrorism. Trump sprung his terrorist network - including, by extension, himself.

I gotta watch this

American culture going to look more and more like “Beast Games” over the next four years. www.newyorker.com/culture/crit...

I’ve been sick all week and watching so much IG reels to pass the time, I knew it was time to get off the app when a video showed up of a smiling chef making a crispy burger with a deep-fried cow brain. “Better than chicken!” she says.

I’ve watched a lot of beloved alt-weeklies go extinct or bottom out over the years, including multiple ones I worked for. The Reader has been a north star in these dark times for crucial news coverage and smart, fresh music writing. Help out if you can.

Waiting for that reality tv series set on a tugboat

Tfw you drop “Careless Whisper” in a DJ set and see half the bar grooving to it.

Wild to think about how I grew up watching David Lynch movies. From high school through college I was all about Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, and Twin Peaks. Mind altering to experience these visually stunning, subversive masterpieces at a young age.
