An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that." Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

Sitting at home sick wondering why people with billions of dollars care about anything other than tax policy.

One of my first lasting memories is sitting on my dad’s shoulders in a packed room at one of the Reverend’s visits to Vermont. Even then, my tiny brain knew to take a snapshot of this man.

When people say they hate ‘80s music, 90 percent of the time they’re thinking about Jim Kerr’s voice.

For the record: I forced @idislikestephen.bsky.social to talk about his friends in The Paranoid Style on New Music Friday today. The album is great and my only conflict of interest was booking The Mendoza Line in college. (The rider stated in large, bold underlined text “DON’T LET THEM DRINK.”)

In Puerto Rico, Sunday wasn't about football. It was the Benito Bowl Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl may have been his biggest audience yet, but for the people he has represented since his start — his fellow Puerto Ricans — it meant something special.
