Entertainment industry burnout calling myself "semi-retired" instead of "borderline unemployable." Los Angeles, for a quarter of a century. I unironically enjoy current popular music and I apologize to no one for that.

I don't know this greenday song but it sounds like Summer of 69 and all the young dudes are playing on two separate radios in the same room.

Hitchin' A Ride is my favorite Green Day song except Jaded which isn't a whole song.

Bernie was just on stage at Coachella.

I love seeing an artist wholly reclaim a song they wrote as a hit for someone else #CharliXCX

Watching Charli XCX at Coachella and thinking "yes it made perfect sense for Kamala Harris to associate with this very specific artist, that entirely tracked."

I've felt an affinity for Whitmer mostly because I grew up in Michigan but lemme tellya, Im one of them dread moderate beerdad libs and I am not getting behind ANYONE who has gotta hand it to trump or who makes it out like the "partisanship" isn't a wildly asymmetrical attack on decency.

and you know who will take the blame. The same people that somehow shoulder the responsibility for 60 years of corporate offshoring and capitalistic cost-reduction. The libs.

If cnn says “these specific people are clearly racist” every republican white person instinctively screech “the media says we’re ALL racists!” And then the discussion becomes about the media’s treatment of republicans instead of the issue at hand

That was a really great set. I was skeptical of the pacing at first but it was a nice build up. Id definitely like to see this show live.

That was somehow equal parts ABBA and Annie Lennox.

That show needed that energy so much.

Yes THIS is what this show needed. Fuck yes. Killah.

This is unintentionally the most Las Vegas show ever.

Again, I really like gaga, i admire the scope and art of this show and I know it will get great notices, but just sitting at a piano and pounding out Speechless would do the trick more effectively and cheaper!

Yo dawg I heard you like abracadabara so here's a 30 minute version.

This coachella set has to be a loss leader for Lady Gaga, right? Like whatever her fee it has to cost more than that.

Crazy that in 2025 the dabbleverse is generating more online revenue than the metaverse

Everybody shaddap LISA is on the Sahara stage at Coachella

Does any band sound more like a law firm than Malkmus, Kannberg, Ibold, Nastanovich, and West?

Trying to maintain my outrage but it’s a beautiful day in Santa Monica and I’m sitting outside at bay cites. Maybe things aren’t more over than they’ve ever been ?

If the fact that Wowee Zowee turns 30 years old today is significant to you, you should have had at least one colonoscopy by now.

I love the youtube Coachella streams every year. I'm so excited for this weekend lol

I have a theory that the golden age of just below the radar comedy started with adult swim and ended when Kent Alterman left Comedy Central - Wonder Showzen is in there.

I wish I had the confidence to write a song with lyrics as daft as You're telling me it's in the trees, in the trees It's not its inside me now.

So I took a job on the other side of town based on the fact that I end my shift at 10pm and i figured at least traffic wouldn't be bad coming home. - I have lived here 25 years what the fuck was I thinking? Did I black out when I signed my contract?

I liked the call back to “Anyone who knows what love is” from the first season of black mirror - so there’s that!

Black mirror undefeated at making 30 minute ideas into 60 minute episodes
