I see what you did there.

"Balls to the walls" derives from the Old English "Manparts to the ramparts".

RIP James Gadson, drummer.

Working with everyone from Marvin Gaye to Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin to Justin Timberlake, his career spanned 6 decades. He played on over 500 gold records, including Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On," the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and Herbie Hancock's "Manchild"

Jack White, Jack Black, and Marcello Hernández

Every man has had these three exact roommates

Today we turn to the words of the poet Homer J. Simpson: “You couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of your life if you had an electrified fooling machine.”

Not to put too fine a point on it: I saw the good Rev. Al Green perform at a festival in 2021 and, well...I legit was fearful he wasn't gonna finish his set. Still in good voice, though - just really easily winded.

and here it is in the Wall Street Journal:

it's right three in the first line of the NYT story.

Let me clearly state; I do not support anything Trump has done or will do but....

This is no great mystery. The $$ is not going to "the Trump administration." It's a payment to the US treasury. "payment to the Trump administration" & other such wording is disingenuous click-baity stuff.

I gotta admit - when FB Memories surfaces stuff from, like, 17 years ago it Makes Me Feel Some Type Of Way. Not old, not “that feels like yesterday…” just sort of intrigued that The Modern Social Media Era now stretches back so far.

I need, like, an entire hour of this bit:

“See you in the NexTel Recovery Tent!”

This is amazing.

Ordered mine yesterday, and have probably chuckled about it once an hour since then- including in my sleep.

Charli XCX disappointed by not doing a Brat-ty remix of the Kate Bush tune.

In the early 90s, I lived in Estonia teaching English to university students for 8 months. One of my fellow American colleagues had a New Yorker with him.

Even starved for English content, I could not make it through that magazine the entire time I was there.

The speed skating drone shots are amazing, the entire race should be shown that way.

I listened to this song in full a few months ago & was really taken by the guitar work in the last minute or so- never noticed it before, I’m guessing a radio edit faded it out.

if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

Randomly stumbled upon this today while looking up a particularly homophobic 80s country rarity - the summary notes that the singer feels like a man whose time has passed but does not at all address the song’s homophobia or give it any cultural context. Whack AF.
