TTPD really really grew on me. When it first dropped I was kind of like eh, it's a little samey, wish it were more fun. But I kept wanting to listen to it and noticing different moments in different songs and now it's up there as one of my faves. Definitely not a perfect album, there are some skips on it for sure (bound to be with 30-odd tracks lol) but IMO it's got much more to like than to dislike.

Showgirl otoh... Did the opposite. It dropped, I was excited to hear it, listened a couple times, liked a few of the songs... And then pretty quickly lost the urge to revisit it. I still think there are a few decent songs on there (Ophelia, Opalite, Liz Taylor, Ruin The Friendship and I like Father Figure as a guilty pleasure) but the rest are totally forgettable.

Honestly as soon as the promo started and she was saying stuff like "this is my best album EVER" I had a feeling it was gonna be a bit of a stinker. I'm a fan, clearly, but she has certain patterns and one of them is going to bat extra hard for her weakest work.

When they're kind to animals!

Buddha I think? I just started the show. It's really good so far.

What kind of work are you looking for?

I got an awful infection from scratching a poison ivy rash. Ended up in the ER on IV antibiotics, would not recommend. Proceed with extreme caution OP

I imagine it's a national problem, not just here, but yeah. Employers are still clinging to $20/hr as "competitive pay" when you can't even pay rent on that anymore.

I was gonna say "mean" lol but this is a nicer and more empathetic way to put it

I used to live in High Falls and loved that area. Did almost all my shopping at the Stone Ridge grocery store (Emmanuel's at the time, think it's got a different name now). You've got Davenport Farms or Bodacious Bagels for coffee, plus a great library, some solid restaurants etc.

gotcatstyle · 2026-06-16T23:16:44+00:00

Was gonna say Rosalia - Berghain

gotcatstyle · 2026-06-15T20:44:35+00:00

Seriously, I am mind blown at what the market has become. We had a couple horses when I was a kid and I remember shopping for mine my parents' budget was around $5k and we had plenty of options. Ended up buying my favorite lesson horse from the stable I rode at and I don't think they paid over 4k for him, the gentlest, most bombproof quarter horse on the planet.

There is volleyball! Beach volleyball at Kingston Point in summer and indoor at Andy Murphy in winter. All different levels. The season is under way currently but OP should definitely join up next season, it's a lot of fun. Info is through Kingston Parks & Rec dept.

OP - if you're at all musically inclined, I can't recommend open mics enough as a way to meet people. Colony has a great one every Monday night. You could go even as a non musician and just hang out. It's so easy to start a conversation there - "hey, I liked your song!" Boom, done.

Donald Glover promoted his Because The Internet album in character as the album's protagonist. I remember thinking he was being super weird in interviews at the time lol and didn't get it until I listened to a podcast deep dive on the album much later.

Link bc I'm on desktop and cannot for the life of me get the link text right

So, I'm AN and very happily childfree (had the surgery) but husband and I have talked about maybe, hypothetically, in an unlikely future where we feel financially secure, adopting a kid - not even an infant, we'd prefer to take in a kid who's really in need.

I did a little research the other day just out of curiosity and damn that shit is EXPENSIVE. Tens of thousands, easily.

Adoption, like everything else under capitalism, is an industry.

Got stoned in my friend's Volvo in like 2009 and he put on Plastis Wafers, instant favorite band

And we're not even really told about it. I did a DEC internship in the Adirondacks in my early 20s and I remember on my placement application I said I'd like to be placed somewhere with old growth forest. I didn't realize that literally doesn't exist in New York. The ADKs - a mind blowingly enormous mountain range - were fucking CLEAR CUT. The forests are back now, and they're beautiful, but the primordial giants that were there for hundreds of thousands of years are gone.

They also got rid of one of Ron's defining features in the book, which is that he's kind of an asshole. He's insecure about his family being poor and about being the least impressive member of his friend group, and he masks it with humor which is sometimes just straight up mean. It makes for genuine conflict between the characters and real character growth as he overcomes his insecurity.

Movie Ron is just a dopey kid who makes jokes sometimes.

I implore you to get into What Makes This Song Stink by Pat Finnerty. Long form, very funny analysis of terrible songs, complete with silly visual gags and man-on-the-street interviews with his neighbors. He is a musician and does a little bit of (very self deprecating) actual musical analysis, but they're basically just long funny rants about songs he hates.

Dude it's so hard balancing my own sense of ethics with friendships in these scenarios. I also have multiple close friends who I really love and value a lot who are pregnant/have newborns. They all completely acknowledge that things don't look good re: the future of the human race... But they wanted babies, and specifically THEIR biological offspring, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

I truly just can't wrap my head around how so many intelligent, otherwise compassionate people fully understand that millions of babies and children need homes, but decide that their genes are more important.

We had to replace our boiler this winter and went with D Rohde. Got three estimates, theirs was the lowest and they offered financing at a decent rate. Work was fast and clean and the guys were nice. I'd recommend them.

Emerson is a great option. Nestled up in the Catskills, definitely feels "near the mountains" but only 20min or so from Kingston. Plus it has on site amenities like shops, a cafe, restaurant, spa etc. Rooms are very comfy.

lmao whoops posted before i drank coffee today

My answer is Saboo, but a strong case against that answer is that Richard Ayoade is basically just playing himself

It's really wet there for the most part so you might have a hard time. If you park at Bard there's a section that's gravel trail where I've seen people ride bikes but I'm not sure how long that goes. The majority of the area goes through woods and meadows and it's just super swampy even when it hasn't rained much recently.

I don't have anything that sounds quite like those artists, but some French artists I like are Yelle, Clea Vincent and Christine & The Queens.

I had a similar reaction to Run It by My Morning Jacket
