I remember people that hated Kyle Busch messaging me saying this video made them start to actually like Kyle Busch. It’s definitely my favorite video I’ve ever posted. RIP Kyle Busch.

In 1945, poet Isidor Schneider wrote an essay called "Probing Writers' Problems," where he warned against viewing art strictly as a political tool. Among his criticisms is that doing so leads to shallow, wasted writing that can only age badly. His colleague, screenwriter Albert Maltz, wrote a response called "What Shall We Ask of Writers?", where he took Schneider's criticisms further: Maltz argued explicitly that the intellectual atmosphere of the left actively stifles creativity; that it creates a culture where art is judged not by the merits of the work but on the correctness of its politics; and that it vulgarizes art by turning it into crass political pamphleteering. Were these essays written today the authors would be condemned as "Far Right." But both men were Communists. And their words appeared in New Masses, a Marxist periodical. These guys saw the problems 80 years ago. And now modern pop culture is dying because no one paid attention.

RadioShack was the last store where being confused felt useful. You’d walk in for batteries and end up standing in front of tiny drawers full of parts you didn’t understand yet. Resistors. Switches. Speaker wire. Fuses. Project kits. Adapters for problems so specific they sounded made up until somebody behind the counter nodded immediately and disappeared into aisle six. People remember the batteries. They forget the feeling. RadioShack made technology feel close enough to touch. You could buy a soldering iron, a police scanner, a bag of LEDs, a replacement remote part, a weird cable, a battery club card, or one tiny component that somehow brought the whole thing back to life. Kids built crystal radios. People repaired RC cars. Teens stripped speaker wire in garages. Some employee who looked like he had worked there since 1987 could translate your terrible explanation into exactly the part you needed. That kind of place teaches a different relationship with the world. Machines had backs and screws and wires. Things failed for reasons. You could open them. You could make mistakes. You could learn enough to stop being intimidated. Then the world changed. Screens replaced screws. Batteries got glued in. Devices got sealed. Parts disappeared. Stores stopped assuming people wanted to understand anything below the surface. People call that convenience. But there’s a reason people remember RadioShack harder than they should. It was one of the last places that made technology feel unfinished. Like normal people still had permission to participate. Now most of us carry objects more powerful than anything in that store ever sold and most of us would not even know where to begin if one stopped working.

The Pet Rock Video (1985, 3min). In 1985, after the Pet Rock fad of the 70s had faded, someone bought the rights, creating this music video, poised for a comeback. From the Found Footage Fest Archive.

Been shouting this from the rooftops. One of the most important paragraphs in the world today. For culture, media, ideology, politics etc. everyone is downstream of this.

"Weird Al" credits Van Halen for helping him start his Hawaiian shirt collection. "Van Halen had the thing where they had no brown M&M's in their rider, which they say they did for safety concerns, sort of like the canary in the coal mine thing. 'Well if you don't get that right how are you going to get everything else right…' But I was just thinking, 'Oh, you can ask for free stuff, great: give me a free tacky Hawaiian shirt for every show that I do.' That year I did 200 shows, so I got 200 shirts. That was a jump start for my collection." (via @rockschoolpod) 📸: Ron Adar / Shutterstock

RIP to the great Clarence Carter. Here’s what William Friedkin told me at the Harvard Film Archive in 2014 when I asked him about ending KILLER JOE with “Strokin’.”

This isn’t even true for America either our parents and grandparents were being rocked by stuff like Speed Racer/Mach Go Go and Voltron/Golion Robotech/Macross long before but Dragonball has to be the start of everything if you listen to its fans
