Since "social conservatism" has become just a euphemism for racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, then yes, it could be said that today's Trump Youth are becoming more socially conservative. But the real word is fascism.

This is incredible. So satisfying. I was going to say it’s “cutting” but it’s more a knifing to the gut or maybe a beheading. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Gosh Spain….

The new album is finished. Got it mastered to the best of my ability and the artwork done. Need to write the blurb and promo emails. Just got to pick a release date. Let me know if you've got a radio show or blog and want to be on the mailing list for preview and review purposes.

Seven years dungeon, no screens!

I just saw a Cybertruck with a "Baby on Board" sticker and thought that was surprisingly self-aware of the driver.

I learned most of my vocab from reading books, so learning that some people think there shouldn't be novel words in books is very weird. I don't know what words you don't know. That is not my problem.

Reflecting Pool - Baja Blast.

“We’re just smol beans with nothing but billionaires, well funded think tanks, and a cowed mainstream media to defend us!”

Real life Batman villain.

No need to bring him back.

Weird how any negative framing of our auto culture is automatically anti-car & radical yet the billions of dollars spent on aggressive car ads and auto first infrastructure isn't framed as anti-pedestrian, anti-bike, anti-transit, anti-person, anti-senior, anti-child or anti-planet.

They’re calling it the quote on British politics that ended the need for all other quotes

No, I will not let you rebrand Bush as some kindly ex-pres. His administration pushed for the invasion of Iraq on false pretenses. They lied to us.

Yes, Jesus was laser focused on creating a slightly more favorable tax policy for the middle class. 🤪 Blessed are the middle class, for they will have slightly lower taxes.

If Pete had any integrity at all, he wouldn’t be where he is. That was his main qualification; spinelessness. Of course the MAGA sycophants are all looking to shift the blame to someone else. They’ve never accepted any responsibility for anything in their lives, why start now?

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

I’m sure they told Donald that everyone else was too weak and stupid to invade Iran and that it would be easy and people would think he was a strong leader.

i'll be releasing a new album, The Autumn Tape, in september. it's a fragmentary exploration of tape aesthetics drawing on jangle pop, K records, 70s psych folk, and other stuff. give the first single a listen over here: harrisonlemke.bandcamp.com/album/the-au...

Uh, is it just me or is it absolutely not normal for a business to go public and then immediately do a massive bond offering the size of entire major corporations while still having no profit to speak of?

I love our economy. It isn’t fake at all.

Need some light summer reading? Look no further! Paperback and digital available. Also a soundtrack if you want some music to go with your reading. Voidscanmusic.com

Time to turn on the spigot of debt payments so that the debt holders can get their checks.

Donald doesn’t joke. He does throw people under the bus to save himself. Just ask Pence, or Bolton, or Milley, or Tillerson or…

Help out a friend in need. Dana is a wonderful person and an amazing dj. She’s in crisis and needs our help.

What remains one of the best life hacks I’ve ever learned: at any chain that has a phone number-based rewards system needed for discounts (CVS, Duane Reade, etc.), simply put in the local area code followed by 867-5309. There is always already an account. You will always get the discount.

It makes no sense to invest in obsolete fuels.

I’m sorry, but saying these people fall into the category of “any idiot” is like saying Sosa and McGwire fall into the category of “any hitter”. We’re living in an era of All Time Great Idiots. Our grandkids will know nothing about these people except that they were the best Idiots to ever do it.

I think I’d happily pay a couple grand for some dude to rip out the combustion engine of my small car, hook up an electric motor to the drive shaft and drop in a battery pack even if that only let me drive <50 miles a charge. Not sure how feasible this is… 🤷🏽‍♂️

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

Yeah, we’ve seen how hard they’ve been working to give the GOP more power. 🤪

Why is Meta allowed to use AI to suggest searches about me, then fill the results of said searches with outright fabrications?

That’s why they call me the gangster of love shack.

After having English commentators on Fox Sports for just about every other match we get two Americans for the England game. Make it make sense. 🤔

DR Congo is fav now, for their beautiful blue jerseys and for stymying Portugal.

“Who’s The Real Joker Now?” My love letter to Balatro. This piece took forever to finish since I‘d only work on it for 20 minutes before i end up playing a couple rounds instead.

Millions of copyrighted songs were fed to AI music generators - now there's proof Suno and rivals are being sued for $150k per song. A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

When you make 1 trillion dollars, you have won the game. They should give you a parade and a gold statue. And then take away all your money and you start New Game+ with tougher enemies.

In a morbid sort of way, it’s hilarious that the most charitable read of the richest man in history’s master plan is basically “kill the Earth so humans can live on a shitty planet they can’t breathe on with not enough gravity and too much radiation.”

This boy in an old man’s body is so scared of being looked down upon that he thinks it’s the most devastating way to insult other people. That’s why it’s always projection.

i think boarding school teenage masculinity is a part of masculinity but not of manhood. we have to get away from the concept of the opposite of "man" being "woman." the opposite of "man" is "boy"

I want someone to ask Donald what his favorite books were as a kid.

So what’s the deal with Alexi Lalas, and why doesn’t anyone want to stand next to him? A primer.

It’s criminal to force Thierry Henry to share a desk with Lalas. Why is that doofus there?

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

If you took a drink every time Ian Darke mentioned the premier league you’d likely be drunk by halftime.

We used to go to Mexico every year to visit mom’s family and this is true. The border slowly became more militarized over the decades.

The problem with the vote blue strategy is that the oligarchs will just buy blue. They’ll use their money to subvert any agenda that challenges their power. It doesn’t get to the root of the problem, which is the existence of this kind of power.

Sure it’s completely made up but in a few months there will be some old guy being interviewed in a diner on Fox News who will say that they found ballots in the trash in CA as proof of voter fraud and thousands of people will hear it and believe it. That’s how it works now.
