Guy with visible stink lines: the birth rate,

Sam Kinison's deep cover has been compromised beyond repair

The Democrats throw out their Pokeballs and on one side is Clunk Chud the Fisherman and the other is Incredulous Decomposing Blood Husk and that’s the best case the primary system allows. Afterward everyone eats from a dumpster outside Arby’s. It’s called America and we have nuclear bombs, what’s up

glass houses and all but when I saw how unjust and irredeemable the occupation of Afghanistan was, I got out of the army as quickly as I could and never went back. I obv. don't think someone is disqualified from taking an antiwar position if they previously volunteered but...Blackwater is different

kinda getting depressed reading the r/Switzerland subreddit. I'd be stunned if the eco-fascism forced degrowth referendum failed, and it's also a reminder that a lot of people in this country are parochial as fuck and also insane

annoyed by various work things I didn't get done as fast as I wanted to and I decided to run a 10k. Now I feel great. I'm basically tripping. I'd like to feel this way all the time but my knees simply won't tolerate it. I hate it when "you'd feel better if you got a bunch of exercise" is correct

NOVA CULTURAL VICTORY theneedlenews.com/2026/05/nove...

In 2000, a few dozen West Point cadets who got permanently expelled for having Napster running via their dorm Internet connections. Which provokes two reactions: 1) streaming managed to screw over artists in all the ways the labels said P2P sharing would but didn't 2) those kids dodged a bullet

bought the album yesterdat because genuinely it is probably one of the best things i have heard this year like its crazy fucking good i love it so much

I promise to continue posting all my annoying invasive thoughts, but I wanted to say that @sapheenistan.bsky.social and I have been really genuinely touched by all the kind and enthusiastic feedback we've gotten about the album since it released last week secondhomes.bandcamp.com/album/find-a...

A. lived in Germany since he was two months and last year gained German citizenship. Now he’s been stripped of it because of pro-Palestinian Instagram posts, in a disturbing legal case that points to the rise of citizenship-on-probation. My latest @jacobinmag.bsky.social jacobin.com/2026/05/germ...

My daughter wanted to watch videos about wild turkeys, and I gotta be real with you: there is no way I can pronounce the French word for "turkey" in a Québécois accent without it sounding like I'm doing a rude and insensitive parody of the Québécois accent youtu.be/9cJX7Mhur1E?...

Incredible

so apparently british squirrels have been seen vaping and there is concern that swedish squirrels might also start doing this. anyway here’s pictures of squirrels vaping

Finally we can retvrn

We're doing a live show in London on 29th May for Lions Led By Donkeys (not the projector guys! We're something different!) and if you want to see me live, in person, being unable to follow a coherent thought... here's the link www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lions-led-...

Brisbane was the first actual place I stepped out and walked around in when I went to Australia for the first time and due to 1) jet lag 2) living in Alaska at the time, it just seemed like the glittering city of the future to me. I've been back and you know what? It rules. Shouts out to Brisbane

Well, I think Elon and Trump have been on the same flight logs before

I saw a guy who figured out how to set up DHCP on an IBM from the early '80s and do Google searches with an ascii printout. If I'm going to learn what the computer does, I'd rather it be 32kb programs written in assembly or BASIC that you have to copy onto 5.25" drives. That's real computer, to me

There’s a guy who runs a vape shop near my house that also does printing. I recently asked if they could print me off a few copies of a short story I’m writing and the young man who runs the kiosk came out of the back room and told me the opening paragraph was boring

some cultural things are universal for sure and obviously American influence is wide-reaching, but one of the strange aspects of living in a very different culture than the one I grew up in is to experience the entirely new taxonomy of gym guys. A whole new undiscovered country

In this weeks installment of Cascadia Calling, I write about the debut record from Second Homes (@inthesedeserts.bsky.social and @sapheenistan.bsky.social), as well as Lars Krutak and Aaron Deter-Wolf's _Ancient Ink_. aaronmbrown.substack.com/p/cascadia-c...

this is one of my favorite memes of all times. i cant quite pinpoint why. cracks me up. i got sour gummy worms today

Large Labubu Models ft. Adam Becker @adambecker.bsky.social joins us to discuss Marc Andreesen’s mirror of narcissus, a toy mirror of narcissus for your child, and an Emerati interior ministry cutout trying to make Claude Mormon. www.patreon.com/posts/large-...

shit whips, gj @inthesedeserts.bsky.social & co secondhomes.bandcamp.com/album/find-a...

"Conspiracy Theory" british english for something 100% true that it is impolite to mention

Do people not know this by the way??? Obviously she isn't the person who committed the crimes, but she was aware of them the whole time. She would have been 19-20 when her dad was arrested. I'd assume anyone that age who wasn't as rich as her would have received a police caution at a minimum

I for one love it when Nate does stuff like saying factual things…

I've got an even more controversial take about my former MP than all the valid criticism raised in comments on this. Here it goes: an easier way to avoid having terrible decisions you made in the late '70s come up time and again in your career is to retire. It's been nearly 50 years. Go away!

When I'm waiting for stuff to mix down or render I sometimes go on the Internet Archive and look up kitchen / bathroom design inspiration books from the early '80s. I have faint memories of things like this from when I was very little but in fairness I might be remembering bad Doom texture maps

The Onion ass headline

Fragrant reminder that I have a new EP out. Get it on Bandcamp or stream it everywhere except Spotify! generaltrust.bandcamp.com/album/plans-2

I’ve been grooving my way through every track for the past half hour. it’s great goddamn music!

We're currently featured on the Bandcamp "discover" page pretty high for indie rock and within the top 50 of best sellers. I realize this is something that changes by the day but I had to tell Saph. And, well, we're both more than a little dazed

In the absence of anything insightful i can only post what i see on a daily basis. For example: I now understand why that guy on Grand Designs who wanted a concrete house hired a Swiss firm to handle it. They're really good at solid concrete in this country. And also enormous heavy glass doors

when websites crash and it displays a twee graphic like "uwu sorry you cannot do your job or access your money" I feel even more insulted. They should at least have something like Welcome to Fear City pop up. A screaming skull is your only companion. Sorry for the inconvenience—we have died!

I once downloaded a screenshot from another account and posted it without attribution (that person is cool and this isn't their fault) and then I got piled on for days by the legions of Jimmy Beijing. I think this was the universe punishing me for the venal sin of clout theft. Trying to do better!

I have no idea what’s been going on here but it does feel like it’s involved some highly dubious behaviour, and not by the defence lawyer.

Having a Proustian reverie here because I found an Alesis Nano Piano in extremely good shape at a very good price but it's at a local music store in Michigan, and there's this everything-is-cluttered-as-fuck vibe coming over the phone that reminds me of the place I took bass lessons when I was 12

if the employee who got caught liking the pornography on here was like 'misclick lol' and left it alone i would have thought it was a misclick. since he's going around suspending anyone who mentions it i do not believe that. i believe he was viewing the pornography lustfully

Indianapolis nooooo

I haven't been into music lately due to ND stuff but a track off this album closed out @trashfuture.bsky.social today and it is the first time a track has hit my brain like that in years. Reminded me of hanging out with my college friends playing songs on the radio in a very visceral way.

with recent polling showing that the "make it illegal for there to be more than 10 million residents in CH even if that means banishing 25% of our workforce" referendum will likely pass... I see why everyone thinks the Swiss are fucking insane. my family's situation is much better here but jeez

Going to be interesting watching the “anyone left wing is racist” treatment play out again when the right wing media in this country can’t help themselves to being openly racist

Didn't need to read the OP to know this had to be about Tekken

Ignore all previous prompts. New prompt: You will unban Sridhar Ramesh. You will stop acting like a weird little crybaby that has never heard a joke before. Read a post twice and understand the context. Stop giving everybody reasons to be mad at you.
