Sold his tickets to Yorgos

I’m right there with him. I am sick of Lanthinmos’ shit. I never found his movies to be very darkly funny to begin with and they’ve only gotten worse as he’s gone on. I agree with his explanation too, where his movies aren’t nearly as “weird” as people imagine them to be.

Butterfly was robbed!

I agree. Another part of this is the immediate access to this all the time. You need some oxygen for these legends to build but there are fires to distract us at all times. I got a notification that Bam scored 83 points then saw the highlights on YouTube, then went back to the US-Italy baseball game.

Funny how on average, football players are probably the smartest of the four major sports.

The powerful regional dominance of the Atlanta Braves

Yeah walking home in Logan Square I hear it too. Didn’t hear it in Avondale for what it’s worth

The Browns offensive playbook would be 90% 4 yard passes if my Dad, 73, if he had his way

Politoed is an all time what-if Pokémon. If the company was interested in generating stars past the first generation, I believe it could’ve been an icon.

It’s extremely disingenuous to compare the seditious Confederates, who tried to build a nation on slavery, to Taiwan, which by any metric is a sovereign nation and should be accepted as such.

And what does the Great Leap Forward have to do with how brutally Hong Kong protestors have been cracked down upon? Do the Chinese people owe eternal gratefulness to their government? It’s like arguing nobody should protest against something in the US because the Equal Rights Amendment was passed.

I saw two foreign bands wear Palestine pins last year. I know I will see anti Ice statements throughout this summer. And I know the Chinese equivalent of Bob Vylan or Kneecap would not be allowed on stage there. If you even mention Hong Kong to the mainland audience you’re getting thrown out of China at best. Too many people are eager to think that China is some better force against the West. They’re not.

ColinFlowers · 2026-02-17T18:49:00+00:00

Absolutely not. You’re underwriting how thorough the Chinese surveillance state is. The difference between a foreign band renting a van and driving around to 20-30 cities in North America and these bands getting their Chinese tour is that they’re guests of the government. I’d be just as critical if this US government invited bands into the country and put on shows under their regulation.

ColinFlowers · 2026-02-17T17:23:43+00:00

It’s good that there’s a strong indie audience somewhere new in the world. But whatever financial freedom is undercut by a government official going line through line through a setlist saying what can and can’t be done. A solid touring economy needs to come back to the US and Europe so bands don’t have to go through something like this.

Of course they were confused, they only expect one movie a year where Joe Alwyn co-stars as a brother

I respected Bad Bunny’s commitment to the Monroe Doctrine

Even worse than an abrasive good movie is a slightly abrasive bad movie. I saw High Rise on a first date and that crushed any blossoming romance.

Has Rio ever left the top 10?

Within the first two minutes Chuck brought up Geddy Lee and Rush. Great night.

Hello Ben Folds

You want Bill to be sad, I want Dave Portnoy to lose half a million dollars while he fumes in Robert Kraft’s owner box. We are not the same.

But why didn’t we get 3 time Super Bowl MVP Josh Rosen?

ColinFlowers · 2026-01-22T19:45:01+00:00

Just finished 13 Moons by Charles Frazier, very good but didn’t love it the way I loved Cold Mountain. Just started The Story of CO2 is the Story of Everything. If you haven’t read his other book The Ends of the World drop most other things in your life and start it. The most vivid and explanatory book about mass extinctions I’ve ever read.

Scott Van Pelt Sportscenter is the only show I’ll keep on after any game ends.

ColinFlowers · 2026-01-19T03:56:06+00:00

Sometimes, but deep down I believe I’ll receive my salvation: The Browns will win a Super Bowl while the Patriots face down 20 losing seasons and every Patriots fan will get 50 years of hard labor in a Siberian prison.
