Everybody talks about the tortured genius. But never the tortured buffoon.

Working at a record store is the coolest job I’ve ever had. The one downside is occasionally I have to sell to people with the worst music tastes known to man.

Oh no I just heard a song by a group I long ago decided—on minimal information— I had no use for and I loved it and now I’m having an existential crisis: if I (gasp) like LCD Soundsystem than who am I even?

I think it's profoundly funny that in an era where slovenly dress predominates -- and at a time when few would make mention of even the most ugly, garrish outfits -- it's VERBOTEN to dress "weirdly." You're "drawing attention to yourself" if you don't wear the polyester uniform sold by Aeropostale at the mall. Absolute uniformity is required, even though the "uniform" was invented by a gang of corporate knuckleheads more or less yesterday. God forbid a woman wear a nice linen skirt instead of skin-tight leggings made of fertility-killing plastic. Heaven help us if a man wears any hat other than a little-league-style "baseball cap." Yet while those who dress that way are hassled for looking "weird," the streets are teeming with people ambling about in their pajamas, women exposing their finer cracks and crevasses in surgical detail, and men wearing garb that was formerly reserved only for homosexuals in Key West. It seems to me that those calling us "weird" for dressing as we do have no real alternative to propose. If the message is: "wear the expensive corporate polyester crap at the mall or else," I'm not interested.

Dear Twtter Friends, YAY! BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT!!!

wild that this is actually the most annoying page in lindy west’s book when the rest of it is what it is

The fact that Israel and the US are killing civilian officials is already crazy enough, but I don't think people realize how utterly insane it is that Israel even put Aragchi, a diplomat, on a kill list. Even Attila and Gengis Khan respected the immunity of diplomats.

“ i’m not buying what you’re selling” SKSKS 😭

BREAKING: Bruce Springsteen just announced that his band will be doing a tour in effort to fight back against Donald Trump's authoritarian overreach. The Boss is back!

The child who was subjected to torture (including having cigarettes extinguished on his body and a metal rod inserted into his feet in front of his father)— In a delayed video released by the occupation, the moment of his handover to the International Committee of the Red Cross is documented in the “Yellow Line” area east of Gaza, days after he was detained along with his father. During his detention, he was subjected to severe abuses, while his father remains imprisoned by the occupation to this moment.

Rewatched Asteroid City. This one has really moved high in my nebulous Wes rankings. The whole run of “I still don’t understand the play” to the cut scene scene is honestly breathtaking to me. How did he do that
