We are going to start every week by re-reading this letter. We are going to remember our outrage at this moment and let it fuel our direction over the next four years. We are never going to let ourselves get complacent. We are never going to let the flames of resistance burn out.
after the fourth or fifth week of someone re-reading this letter to the staff people will start to feel pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. almost want to write a bot to tweet at noisey every monday "welcome to the workweek! have you reread your letter yet? reread it like fuck!"

Urie has been in the music industry for over a decade, the last remaining original member in a band who have consistently taken something inherently theatrical and turned it into something sincere, accessible, and fucking cool. He is one of the most versatile and enduring artists to emerge from a period in which people genuinely wore a tie and a t-shirt approximately two sizes too small. He delivers personal anecdotes like he's auditioning for a film about his own life, expressing joy in such overt ways that, if it wasn't a completely dehumanising concept, I would start a petition suggesting that everyone feeling weathered and weary of life should be prescribed fifteen minutes with him.

Everyone knows that music has charms to soothe a savage breast, but few have read the rest of William Congreveâs line, which claims it can also âsoften rocks, or bend a knotted oak,â and so, in these times of breast-beating savagery, heads full of stones, and tangles in desperate need of unknotting (times to try menâs and womenâs souls, one might say), there is still a vital place for music in our lives. And so, here are my picks for the 10 best jazz albums of 2016, followed by the yearâs four best previously unissued old treasures.

the post was penned to create the illusion of an idiotic hick (also note the intentional mispelling), but the irl whiney didn't want to risk an ironic slur being irl triggering
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 19 December 2016 17:21 (seven years ago) link
the practice of typing an asterisk in the place of one vowel when typing a slur doesn't originate with whiney tbf, it's a baffling practice to me but that's for another time mebbe

i honestly toyed with the phrasing of the post to find the right combo of "ignorant disdain for coastal elites" to juxtapose with "having opinions on william congreve" and I couldn't find something that was as concisely effective at conveying ignorance as misspelling a homophobic slur
