Raytheon wishes you a very happy Pride Month

if you can read this newsletter it means you're gay

Hi!

Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.

me, trying to get Substack to share my newsletter on its main feed

Welcome back everyone, I’m so glad we’re here:

• I may have just watched my final “NBA on TNT,” and I’ll tell ya how I’m doing. Not well, bitch.

• Alarming new trend! Big publications (like The Atlantic “is it technically legal to kill children?” Monthly) are “partnering with OpenAI” in some corporate synergy-type bullshit. I want to assure you that here at LizCo, we promise to keep Mondays, Amirite man-made and authentically deranged.

• Is it sexism if you don’t attend Jennifer Lopez’s staduim tour? (no)

• While I think this piece is kind of all over the place and overwrought, especially since the question, “what do men think of women?” has been asked and answered a million times before (TY Philip Roth, Petrarch, etc), it’s interesting watching the sundress discourse unfold on TikTok, where it’s gone from, “what makes a sundress a sundress?” to brainless gender essentialism.

• Taxes in America are funny. Instead of helping citizens have happy, healthy lives, they’re used to make everyone, except like 10 guys, sadder and dumber. This example really floored me: billions of taxpayers’ dollars have been spent on vouchers for religious schools, where children can learn important things like, “dinosaurs are not real,” and, “you don’t have to tell your parents when a priest touches you.”

• Sharing this in hope that a rich, eccentric reader is looking to do some property preservation - the late Paul Reuben’s perfect LA pad is for sale.

Tunes to start the week with:

This new, extended version of Aphex Twin’s Digeridoo is very cool, especially the super intense live version of the title track. Makes me wanna take ketamine in an abandoned Bristol warehouse. And, if you’re a Mitski/Japanese Breakfast/Maggie Rogers-type, SASAMI has a new single out that scratches that exact itch.
