“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” That’s the guiding philosophy of this administration.

Well, the sole piece of right-wing philosophy is that The Right People are allowed to do whatever they want and The Subhuman Others are never allowed to do what they need.

The reason you don't see the KKK anymore is they don't need to wear hoods now they are the ones voting to deny black Americans voting rights & representation

Trump called in as MAGA religious leaders dedicated the giant golden statue of himself at his Doral golf club

Every day in this country.

Yeah because once you’ve practiced your little heart out and shown up to a gig with two people total in the audience, nothing can possibly hurt you

Why nobody love song babies?

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

In a game where the referees are either not enforcing the rules or are only enforcing them against one team there is a predictable outcome and that’s the point.

i'm sad to inform you that it's noon in norway and i slept for about nine hours last night. also weed is illegal here, i have no excuses

Take psilocybin just once, for the first time, and it enduringly changes your brain for the better.

Might be worth a listen…

Being seen as an outsider activates fear and anxiety in people. If you’ve never had to experience that feeling then you find it especially scary. If you’ve had to live that way your whole life you learn to accept it and embrace it and even find freedom in it.

One thing that has become extremely clear to me as I have done this Other People's Music project for years: even the most unpopular, critically scorned backwaters of music have been deeply influential and have passionate, generations-deep fanbases.

Every time I go back to Tulsa I’m reminded what’s it like. So many baseball hats at dinner last night. Why are baseball hats the only acceptable hat anymore?

There’s a Lego kiosk at the airport, because assembling a 608 piece Poinsettia model made up of tiny plastics pieces is what you do on a plane now?

This is what right wingers call “fair and balanced.”

Yesterday I was at the airport and the airlines were pleading for people to gate check their bags to insure that there would be enough space in the overhead bins. The guy in front of me had a bag and a giant duffle. The ticket guy asked if it was gonna fit under the seat. Guy “oh yeah.” 1/2

The perpetual birthday boy wants you to know about the gold leaf statue of himself that some crypto people installed at his own luxury golf resort depicting him as a triumphant hero. If you can’t see the ridiculousness I don’t know what to tell you.

I will watch the final but I don’t see a way that Arsenal can beat this PSG team.

The neoliberal project of gamifying society has convinced lots of people that the key to survival is just learning how to play the game better than everyone else. It’s a moral rot.

Note: due to how the scheduling/planning works out, the next quarterly @argrecnetlabel.bsky.social compilation MAY only be one volume (usually the 2nd comp in the year has a smaller submission time window). But, I could be mistaken in this assumption. 🤔 argalirecordsnetlabel.com/2026/04/11/1...

Cookie Monster, as cookie crumbs fall from his lips: Me worry Americans not understand how me operate, think me just want cookies.

Time enough for a tease! This thread will offer a peek at the week's Other People's Music: the first line of each review, plus links to the music, socials & full review on my site. Skip the line and read it all here: www.etherdiver.com/2026/05/01/o... #musicsky #MusicDiscovery

Aside from the embrace of Wellness Eugenics I think RFK jr's moves all make sense if you are trying to destroy actual medical industries and replace them with wellness snake oil. We can all agree on the greed of the former but at least they create actual usable products

Yet he sits right next to several judges (Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett) that were put there explicitly by a political project to overturn these very decisions as part of a long term effort to put conservative judges on the court who already signaled how they were going to vote on issues. 🙄

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

This is super cool. Fellow musicians, tell me the four albums that are directly inspiring your most recent work! And if that work is released, make sure ya link it in the thread!

The Middle schooler is getting into “cool” bands like The Smiths, Nirvana, Weezer, My Chemical Romance, Green Day… I was trying to think of more bands. Help me.

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

I will repeat. Trump doesn’t care about his oath of office because he has no allegiance to anything beyond himself. He took the oath because it was a step to power. He has no intention of limiting his behavior and that is what the oath demands.

A limerick. Based on a true story.

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

People who choose where they live primarily based on low taxes are not typically the neighbors I want.

When there’s very few or no conservative right wingers somewhere it’s because of an unfair bias against them, but when there’s very few liberal left wingers somewhere then it’s because they must only be there for DEI purposes.

In the minds of Fox News viewers this app is just seething with left wing radicalism. In reality it’s just a bunch of old Twitter people who got fed up with Musk’s algorithmic hate fest and decided to decamp for a calmer environment.

Tipper Gore thought she heard Satan speaking in Judas Priest records and it was an emergency, but the computer that has literally convinced teens to kill themselves and others? Put that in the schools, baby!

Who knew that these vital energy resources were just sitting out in the open for anyone to blow up. 🤷🏽‍♂️

There should be a Dunning-Kruger leaderboard.

Farmers are coded "working class" as rural white people, even though they own their means of production. Meanwhile, I have a PhD and teach at a liberal arts college, so no one will ever call me working class, even though I earn a lot less and depend on wages. It's gendered vibes, all the way down.

Here's the thing though, farmers aren't cash poor. The median SMALL FAMILY FARM is clearing over $100K in annual income. AFTER farm debts & expenses. "But $100K isn't that mu-" They're farmers, Steve, they don't live in Manhattan

I’m pretty certain that Xabi Alonso will be the coach of Liverpool next season. I’m not a fan of Liverpool, but I would to love to see him succeed just to see some redemption for him after that Real Madrid debacle.

One of the many ways that paying attention to politics makes you feel like you're going insane is that it's hugely controversial to claim that the most recent SCOTUS decision was entirely about helping Republicans win elections, and meanwhile the President keeps screaming it at the top of his lungs.
