Important question: Why is the Apple Music desktop app so terrible?

I've pulled 30-year-old CDs out of a flooded basement that work better than this.

That's bold. I wouldn't go quite as far but I do love it. That being said I would have a hard time ordering them after downward spiral.

"I had to stop and reboot my bike" is not a phrase I feel like I should ever have to use... but here we are.

I hope so. I feel like that record gets slept on.

Of course. Part of what prompted this, because there's a surprising amount of Year Zero material there.

Nine Inch Nails Year Zero somehow feels more relevant with every passing day.

"Freedom from Adobe’s app ecosystem is actually starting to look plausible. And making that freedom increasingly free is the icing on the cake."

Two of the most exciting sentences I've read all year.

"Allbirds announced Wednesday that it is pivoting from sustainable shoes to artificial intelligence"

Surely this is a McSweeney's story that got published in the wrong place.

NY Times headline reading: Vance Says the Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology

Which seminary did Vance graduate from again?

All of the goosebumps.

FKA twigs continues to be a absolute fucking treasure.

I greatly appreciate Zeteo.com following up on the Gestapo ICE / CBP invasion here in Minnesota. They’re a bit quieter (sneakier) now but they haven’t stopped!

(and thanks Zeteo)

The most insane set of the day award probably has to go to Drain. And I'm now sad I didn't go see them when they played Irving Plaza recently.

NY Times headline reading: Someone Has to Be Happy. Why Not Lauren Sánchez Bezos? As half of an unfathomably powerful couple, Mrs. Sánchez Bezos seems to have influenced the uber-rich to stop apologizing, and start enjoying themselves.

I can think of about 254 billion reasons.

I must have missed when Greg Ginn turned Black Flag into punk rock daycare.

'Cause we've all got Moon on the brain this week.

Also, one of my favorite things about the set was just how much love Year Zero got. Maybe my perception is off, but it feels criminally slept on.

I decided to rewatch the Nine Inch Noize set while I get some writing done and my oldest just came running into the room.
"My ears detect spookiness."

I'm doing a bang-up job as a dad.

Me: I don't need another camera.

I am exhausted today after staying up to watch David Byrne's Coachella set last night, but it was worth it.

New York Times headline and dek reading: Trump Revels in Threats to Commit War Crimes in Iran The president said he would bomb Iran “back to the Stone Ages.” Until this administration, American leaders had insisted they were trying to follow international law in war.

It's nice when the Times remembers to have a backbone and be honest.

The Alice Isn't Dead Logo: A square, cut almost in half. The top half is a bright orange sky with a large sun rising behind a front view of a black mack truck. The bottom half is a black background with a reflection of the black mack truck in white, which now looks like a skull. Under this in yellow letters are the words: Alice Isn't Dead.

Alice Isn't Dead returns on April 13 (April 6 on our Patreon!) with the sequel series Don't Tell Alice.
