LD almost never performed Magnetic Fields songs with other bands. A rare exception for my daughter Josie and friend JD (who eventually joins us!). This is a favorite live moment. Charlotte, me, LD, Michael, etc. The One You Really Love youtu.be/7IDpuc5XFZE via @YouTube

@DanielM51664716 @PulpLibrarian With you

@PulpLibrarian Most of these aren't bad book covers. They are awesome book covers!

You know what I haven't done in a while? Bad book covers! Let's change that...

@sanjivbee A saw that pic and thought of you! How sweet is that!? (I’m so sorry!).

@PeskyFly I remember! Resting anus mouth!

Yes yes inflation and immigration, but the real reason we lost is the people who say “um ackchually, it’s ‘unhoused’”.

You saw what you saw.

@JohnBeifuss He’s a working man! Pops up all over the place. Saw him a handful of times in Saturday Night.

Was not expecting the first face seen in the 5th-most-watched-Netflix-movie-ever, CARRY-ON, to belong to our old Memphis pal, Jeff Pope.

I didn’t realize my short story Dick in the Dirt had already published. Many thanks to @pulplitmag! Weirdly, my title is wrong. It’s correct in the table of contents but wrong with the story. Oh well, Dick in the Dark is nice too. Enjoy! issuu.com/pulplitmag/doc…

I did it for Andy.

@headcanonmag @anushkabidani Excellent!

@PeskyFly @anushkabidani shall keep in touch with you at the newer, bluer place 🦋

I’ll continue to check in on Twitter because I write about the kinds of things happening here but will be communicating primarily at the newer, bluer place. My handle there is thepeskyfly instead of peskyfly. But I wanted to say t to @anushkabidani’s @headcanonmag

“I wanted to say thank you” not t. Someone came to my door in the middle of typing this, so of course there is an egregious typo in the most important part. So… thank you.

I discovered Headcanon on Twitter (wasn’t X then) so I wanted to say thanks on Twitter (never will be X until it’s ex). If this turns out to be my last tweet, it’s an extremely happy and grateful one! How strange! How wonderful!

I always thought my story Cornfield County was just for me and a handful of friends who grew up watching Hee Haw on Sundays and thought it was the most surreal thing on TV besides Green Acres. So glad somebody else saw something in it and shared it with the world.

Have you ever wondered what it might be like if David Lynch directed an episode of Hee Haw? My short story “Cornfield County” is now available to read at HeadCanon, a literary magazine devoted to all things pop culture. #writersky headcanonmagazine.com/2024/12/01/cor…

String Bean was hard of hearing so the tiny blue transistor radio was turned up loud when Jon Hager, a long-haired singer and wannabe Country music superstar, stepped up onto the porch. @PeskyFly writes: headcanonmagazine.com/2024/12/01/cor…

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves. propublica.org/article/epa-sc…

As @ReichlinMelnick points out — Trump is setting this up to take credit for a decrease in border crossings that has already been happening 👇🏽

@anushkabidani I shouldn’t try to type on my bike.

@anushkabidani Important question! When I was employed at a newspaper I watched my very good editor defend a decline in pickup by pointing out how we Our weekly covered all the same stories as the big metro daily… which struck me as as a problem, not a defense.

@anushkabidani I suspect it means the publication is more interested in being competitive than being distinctive.
