“radicalized by the realization that in many Intellectual™ circles it’s higher status to know a lot about a domain than it is to actually do something in that domain” – charm

Yup, that’s the college mentality. Absolutely correct, charm.

There was a whole PDF I needed to steal for my archive:

Nardwuar interviewed some really nice girl who got a super valuable 45 from David Byrne, some Pisces princess who loves the 90’s. 

She’s so shocked that she’s getting all these gifts, and well, when all these obscure facts about her life come up, Nardwuar speaks the truth, “Oh, you ARE Olivia Rodrigo! We have to know!”

Editing is cool. The story really is found in the most brutal edits, sometimes.

Galaxy Quest is one of the best movies ever. And calling it a trek parody (despite it being one) greatly diminishes what an amazing film it truly is.

How did I not subscribe to this channel before? Sam Rockwell is fucking great. RIP Alan Rickman. And oh yeah Justin Long got to be in a music video with ARI BOO <3! And of course, Tony Shaloub is a legend.

Dr. Octavius’ arms weren’t CGI for the most part. What CGI they used was AMAZING for 2004!

Also this is exceptional… 

Of course, it’s Livie <3

Found out death cab for cutie has a new album? “Punching the Flowers” is pretty good with decent lyrics. Lines like:

“Ruminating like a fatalist for hours”

“With a voice like the sound of slamming doors”

“Taking for granted the sweetness til it soured”

That last one is a great one today. There are a lot of great lyrics on this album, which… I mean it’s death cab. Wow I should go back and really mine their songs. Wrote a bunch down in my moleskine.

Then grapevine fires auto played, another fire track from them from a few years ago. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ILUUqvbcBOI&si=LCmZ4plakKWnAvf0
