I'm going back to New York City; I do believe I've had enough. Also recently wrote a book, Teenage Time (Bloomsbury 2025).

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I know what you mean. Bernie is almost all I've got left in the old white guys you can count on category.

in front of the bulldozers
sent to destroy
the last of the olive groves.

I don't think we know we are in this song | Los Angeles Review of Books An appreciation of David Bowie's alien glamorous life

10 years. My brain hurts a lot. I think on some level I really do believe that he was the cosmic glue holding the world together. lareviewofbooks.org/article/i-do...

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Even if having β€œpronouns in her bio” were a bad thing, the shooter wasn’t looking at her bio, he was looking at her FUCKING FACE. DID SHE HAVE PRONOUNS ON HER FUCKING FACE, YOU NAZI FUCK?

This is really good and points in so many different directions.

Like Tin Machine. I want the last ten years to have been Tin Machine.

We watched Bowie: The Final Act and honestly all I want is for him to come back on January 10th and tell us all that the last ten years was just some terrifying performance art piece he dreamed up.

i think that people really underestimate reality that

1) administration has no doctrine, it is really about a single, mercurial, and half-awake man

2) the administration is a constantly churning system with factions that rise and fall contextually

3) might not have happened if trump tower caracas

Maybe that would make me less annoying? Who knows. I saw the movie when it came out in 1984 and it set the terms for how I understood music, and being funny, and being funny about music.

If I did not say "this one goes to eleven", "hello Cleveland", "where the banshees live and they do live well", "their appeal has just become more selective", "who's in here? no one" etc many many times per week I would not be the person I am today.

Instead of feeling ragey and blasted by everything, just for a moment, I'm giving thanks for how Spinal Tap has shaped my vocabulary and world view.

Definitely point him at me! I'll have office hours next term and there is nothing I like more than talking about the KLF.

I did meet you with Daniel Kane this year! (At least I met an Alan and what are the chances of that happening twice?) The talk is taken from a chapter of my new book Teenage Time www.bloomsbury.com/uk/teenage-t... If your friend can't get a library to order it tell them to message me!
