As with Charlie Kirk, Republicans are fiercely loyal to the general idea of Donald Trump but will furiously refuse to grapple with anything specific that he actually says or does.

best family trip since january 6th

This administration has again and again revealed itself to be in philosophical agreement with the greatest monsters of the 20th century: the New York Yankees

everyone is learning about their world from screens that specifically tell them whatever narrative they will find most validating and provide them with endless rationales to ignore or explain away any facts that complicate the validating narrative. this is why politics has gone insane

Just to recap: INJECT BLEACH but DON’T TAKE TYLENOL

Yesterday’s radio show archived: wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

What happened to Kimmel has been happening since Fuckface began his second term in case you hadn’t noticed.

throws a lot of cold water on the bullshit peddled by the whole austin comedy scene, which has constructed an identity around the idea that the election freed up comics to say whatever they want without fear of cancellation

Fucking snowflakes.

@fantagraphics.bsky.social I don’t want to complain but the books I ordered during your big sale last month are still in “preparing shipment” status after nearly 4 weeks according to the Shop app. What gives?

The vast majority of MAGA only see the liberal/left only via conservative media presenting the opinions of unhinged internet attention-seekers as mainstream Dem/Dem voter policy. They then look for people who reflect that energy which is why the White House is filled with professional trolls.

Help me celebrate another spin round the sun with this fundraising broadcast live from @wfmu.bsky.social’s Monty Hall! I’ll be DJing, of course, but there will also be a live set from Leeds, UK’s NAPE NECK. You don’t want to miss this! And if you have to, you can listen!

The creature returns to its natural habitat. On @wfmu this afternoon from 3 to 5 PM, spinning all the records I heard this summer but wasn’t able to play for you. wfmu.org

Conservatives today arguing over how this "poor, broken, mentally disturbed, loner, cis-het, conservative kid" got so radicalized

Add Brazil to list of countries more of a democracy than the U.S.

The Yankees have always had a bit of a Triumph of the Will vibe.

rightwing media ecosystem operates by stoking hatred and anger and divisions every single day, they want people to constantly be afraid and want people to hate eachother, everything we are seeing is a result of the destablization the right has profited off of

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I’ll be back in my old slot on @wfmu.bsky.social , every Sunday from 3-5 PM ET beginning this upcoming weekend.

“Is Butterbean okay?” = possibly the best unscripted line in the history of film.

Only tangentially related to this article but I recently had the revelation that having strong feelings/opinions about R.E.M. is maybe biggest cultural line of demarcation between Gen X and millennials. It’s either that or affection for Space Jam.

important to realize that Greenwald explicitly wants to kill any site that isn't controlled by oligarchs and tyrants because his project requires trapping people in a propaganda-supported alternate reality

Sometimes I forget this platform exists. On WFMU’s Rock N Soul stream this Friday filling in for Terre T’s Hooligan program. wfmu.org/rocknsoulradio

If his hand gets any blacker, he's not going to let it vote.

I haven’t dealt with romantic rejection in a while but today an offer I made for a record on Discogs expired without the seller even bothering to respond and I gotta tell ya IT STILL HURTS!

“Just let them die” as public policy. Looking forward to the offspring of a rich donor biting it from some bad coke.

I am a Mets fan so yes, of course.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Deciding the thing you find most objectionable about a person is the only thing that defines them is extremely cop-like behavior.

Makes sense since he thinks “criminal” and “hero” are the same thing.

Very occasionally, I hear a contemporary pop song and think “Oh, I like this.” This is one of those. Has a bit of a Chic-vibe, which I am always a sucker for.

Sounds like a major threat.

We need this for adults too, frankly.

The stuff that, 15 years ago, would have been a screaming 72-point all-caps headline — and now appears in the sixth paragraph, almost as an aside www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Every day I’m inspired by the bravery of these courageous ICE agents.

I never get tired of reminding people that famous celebrity Donald Trump's very first appearance in the New York Times was when the Nixon Justice Department sued him and his father for refusing to rent to black families.

Received an email for a record sale with the subject “Affordable Jazz reissues” and now I really wish affordable jazz was a subgenre.

Today on WFMU: On Rock and Roller Derby with Suzy Hotrod, all-female French power-poppers ALVILDA will play a live set during their first NYC tour! Catch them live on 7/17 at TV Eye in Ridgewood for the "On the Streets Again" festival pre-party show (8 p.m. ET).

All my Bluesky interactions right now: Me: I like old movies. Stranger: Not everyone’s alive to like old movies, Mr. Privilege. Second stranger: I saw one. TBH it was mid. Won’t make that mistake again. Third stranger: Maybe rethink this?

are you tired of being brainwashed by the mainstream media?

This probably should have reissued years ago. That being said, it wasn’t all that difficult to find an original and the record itself isn’t nearly as good as their ones with F Mac. Still, good for the record stores who are going to sell this for $30-40.

Hunter 2028 Okay, not really. But he’s right on here.

Public & listener-supported radio need you more than ever right now, & if you aren't already listening to @wfmu.bsky.social, prepare to discover a community of beautiful weirdos & music nerds! WFMU is a cornerstone of NJ's/NYC's music scene, with loads of cool programs & vast archives wfmu.org

“Wrote a picture” Just that phrase, divorced from any additional context, would be the lead story for a month if Biden had said it. T Bag’s mind is mush but he delivers his word salad in a decisive tone because he has known for most of life that the actual content doesn’t matter to the marks

Cabinet members shouldn’t even be allowed to trade stocks. That goes for the Senate and House too. They can have 401Ks like the rest of us.

🌮

For the record, I checked my emails with the band and I did not use the word “visualize.”

This is the lesson that liberals and progressives and Democrats absolutely refuse to learn: CHANGING THE MATERIAL CONDITIONS OF A GROUP OF VOTERS WILL NOT PREDICTABLY CHANGE HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT YOU. Refusing to accept this has walked us into disaster over and over.

Right wing pundits spent so much time calling Obama a Muslim socialist, it’s like their lies actually conjured one to run New York City and they are freaking out about it.

Bit rich complaining about New York being taken over by immigrants when there's a big fucking statue in the harbour that invites everyone to come live there.

Will no one stop this maniac who wants to make life easier for people?!?!!
