A fantastic book on prison abolition. So many parts of this book are shocking and difficult to grapple with but it still manages to be hopeful and encouraging.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I donβt feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre β and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background β come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. Itβs my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts playβ¦ What else could you ask for?Β

Listened to this song the second it dropped and haven't stopped listening to it. There's a line so sacrilegious I laughed out loud the first time I heard it. Impassioned and fierce and fearless on a level few bands can manage.
Easily my most anticipated album of the year.

Hard to describe how much I love this little song. Incredibly catchy and fun melody. The lyrics are oddly endearing for a song about being obsessed with Shadow the Hedgehog.
I think, deep down, we all wish we were Shadow the Hedgehog if we're being honest with ourselves.

I've listened to so much Irish folk music since Shane MacGowan's passing and it really is a salve like no other. Always rousing and joyful while recounting life's endless hardships. Defiant. Beautiful.
