This is a once-in-a-century thing...
Happy 90125 day to those who celebrate.

These's next few days, we'll see how much the term "South Park Republicans" holds up.

@LosLobosBand Absolutely love the fuzzed-out guitar of "Viking." A very close second is "Run Away With You."

Hopefully AMC won't show 30 minutes of commercials and trailers for this.

But if they do, it's still worth it seeing this in the IMAX.

https://t.co/9sufg8qrYK - William Langewiesche's three-part series about the process of removing the World Trade Center from Ground Zero remains a defining piece of modern-day journalism.

@Steven_Hyden Great list! I wrote about how it took me seven years to sell my copy of R.E.M.'s 'Monster.' As for Tool, I think Ænima could have also been a pick, given the 'effects' of the lenticular case (same thing I think u2 did with 'Zooropa.')

My junior-high logic had me put 'Hysteria' as 'Album of the Year' two years in a row. 1987 (when it came out), and 1988 (when most of the kids at school finally discovered the record). https://t.co/6d6ESs81PE

@jaxxonhoward 's review of Macy Gray's "On How Life Is" is a good self-reminder today to give "The Id" its proper reassessment listen.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Instead of berating and blaming Pres. Zelenskyy, Pres. Trump and VP Vance should be showing him gratitude for defending against Russian tyranny.

With 46,000 Ukrainians fallen in battle against Putin, the real invader, the U.S. should be thanking Pres. Zelenskyy for Ukraine's heroic stand defending transatlantic security.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

@realDonaldTrump Mr. President, I’m afraid YOU disrespected the U.S. by siding with the Kremlin and its dictator against a democratically elected European partner. Putin is an alleged war criminal; I’ve interviewed the people his goons have tortured and raped. Why switch sides and back him?

[Sean McCarthy @SeanLMcCarthy]

@realDonaldTrump When was the last time Russia had a free and fair election?

[Sean McCarthy @SeanLMcCarthy]

The Internet has corrected me in pointing out the man in the latest episode of "Severance" is whistling "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" ... and not Suzanne Vega's "Bad Wisdom." But I still say that song applies.

[Steven Hyden @Steven_Hyden]

This is like a Van Halen social account thanking Gary Cherone for his service.

[Sean McCarthy @SeanLMcCarthy]

Not too sure if @Steven_Hyden would agree, but early '80s synth goth does to Sharon Van Etten what '70s-era boogie rock did to Sturgill Simpson on "Sound and Fury."

[Sean McCarthy @SeanLMcCarthy]

@Steven_Hyden Purchased for Omaha - this was definitely more exciting than when I bought tickets a decade ago.

[Just Dave now @justdavenow89]

I can watch this multiple times and still smile

That "keeping us out of wars" campaign promise didn't last long.

[Sean McCarthy @SeanLMcCarthy]

@TheSoundofVinyl @soundofvinylus Every time I fill out a form, asking to remove one item from my order (its shipping date keeps getting pushed back), your auto-response always references something else entirely (it incorrectly tells me it's a technical issue). My order has not moved since Dec 31st.

For those who celebrate #January6th, wait until tomorrow to buy your bear spray. That's when most stores discount their holiday products.
