“Some people wanna die, so they can be free…” 10 years and it still hurts. Prince, I hope you’re free. #RIPPrince youtu.be/U391vYN1u_8?...

For anyone who's waking up to this Palantir statement, I wrote a guide to the company and the fatuous chauvinism of its "defend the West" cosplay ideology a few weeks ago

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Happy 45th birthday to Pocket Calculator by Kraftwerk, released as a single on this day in 1981. Watch more of this concert, filmed for Austrian TV in 1982, at youtu.be/B55znMACT8I

This is genuinely messed up. And this guy owns The Sphere, too? Makes me second-guess my desire to attend a concert there…

Some chill, and a bit of noise. #CDFriday

A poster designed by Michael Lachowski for Wax Jr Facts in Athens, GA. Black & white xerox w/ lunar blue paper inset in triangle window. These albums came out April 1983 — Whammy by The B-52's, Murmur by R.E.M. & Chomp by Pylon. Happy 43rd birthday! #AthensGAMusicScene #HappyBirthday #xeroxart

Absolutely vile: Trump just said on Fox that the threat to obliterate Iranian civilization was a good thing, because "it brought them to the table." We have to take this on frontally and directly. It's a lie, and the underlying idea it's premised on is even worse: newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Boston, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU 💚

Technically I’m at TD Garden, but tonight it’s the Fleet center! Go Fleet Go! @bostonfleet.com

The one that started it all. 40 years ago this month, my parents drove me to Lechmere in Dedham, MA, and I paid $11.99 + tax for this, the very first CD I bought for myself, using some birthday money. 4 decades and over 10,000 CDs later, I still find magic in those musical pits and lands. #CDFriday

It is not too late for soldiers and generals of conscience to refuse to commit war crimes against civilians on a mass scale.

Never has a President been so unpopular, so fast. The American people understand that Donald Trump poses a direct threat to our Constitution and to the rule of law. He must be impeached, convicted, and removed from public office.

Did not have one 1980 band (Soft Cell) covering another 1980 band (Was (Not Was)) in 2026. Sounds good, though. Features Nona Hendryx, too! youtu.be/bOazf2pZvFI?...

Jamal's right: The story here isn't Trump; this is entirely consistent with what everyone's known about him for many years. The story is the complete degradation of a major political party. That said, committing war crimes & violating the Establishment Clause all in a single tweet is impressive.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

If this is real. If his thumbs actually typed what is below... Citizens. Senators. Cabinet. The President of the United States is out of control. He is beyond reason or amelioration. We might really, really, really, I'm trying not to shout or capitalize here, really want to address this.

Had a great time at the @throwingmuses.bsky.social show last night at the Paradise! Huge, snarling, whirling intensity by @kristinhersh.bsky.social and her killer band.

It is the year 2026 AD. Super hackers have gained illicit backdoor access to the AI Claude through the Chipotle support chat.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "On this Trans Day of Visibility, I just want to say to all the trans folks out there watching that we see you, we support you, and we have your back, and you absolutely do not deserve all the despicable cruelty being thrown your way."

My "We don't allow bets on assassinations and murder" ad campaign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the ad campaign

Today is the 128th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark.

My favorite Fridays are #CDFriday Fridays.

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group 1) you are the audience, giving it prompts 2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt 3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And 4) it has the factual accuracy of improv 5) it does not understand comedy

Opening day! Go @redsox.com !!

#CDFriday, bookpack edition.

'A fine and kinky record that signalled a transition in Depeche Mode’s career—darker, sonically more adventurous and sweetly subversive: “If you call yourself a pop band, you can get away with a lot more”' Happy Birthday to Depeche Mode's Black Celebration, which turns 40 today! buff.ly/ySGYM3j

Oh no. The DOGE thieves, John Solly and Justin Fox, had their videos taken down. How' terrible for John Solly and Justin Fox.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Hey, #CDFriday, whaddaya say?

Tina Weymouth and Grandmaster Flash by Laura Levine 1981 🖤

"Master of Puppets" was released 40 years ago #OnThisDay! What's your favorite song on the album?

Super-important read. We are screwed if we do nothing. (h/t @tressiemcphd.bsky.social)

Keeping the @perennialtheband.bsky.social vibes going this #CDFriday after seeing them in concert last night, along with a funky new comp curated by the Beta Band’s Steve Mason, and a couple of oldies-but-goodies.

Fantastic time at the @perennialtheband.bsky.social show last night at Deep Cuts in Medford. Incredible energy!!

This refugee wanted liberty in America, but got death The refuge promised when Nurul Amin Shah Alam and family came to America on Christmas Eve 2024 became a Kafkaesque nightmare - a police encounter gone wrong, then left for dead by Trump's CBP goons My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/alam...

Don’t think some letter carriers won’t (intentionally) “lose” your mail-in ballot?

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

BREAKING NEWS: Unethical, CDC Infant Hep B Vaccination Study Cancelled! The study was cancelled after Stand Up for Science held a closed door briefing with Congress last week, with an investigator on the ground in Guinea Bissau. (1/2🧵) www.cidrap.umn.edu/hepatitis/gu...

Farewell to French composer Éliane Radigue (1932-2026) who taught us the radical power of slowness, of patience, and attention stretched to the threshold of perception. Her work will continue to resonate—slowly, endlessly—like a tone that never quite fades.

This #CDFriday a nod to Alysa Liu’s incredible gold-medal skate to “MacArthur Park” yesterday (check it out if you haven’t seen it, it is GLORIOUS), and some other music that seemed like it might fit today.

Team USA beat Canada in overtime, 2-1, to take home the Olympic gold medal in women's hockey.

“Losing My Religion”was released 35 years ago today. The lead single from Out Of Time earned multiple GRAMMY Awards, topped charts worldwide, and helped redefine what alternative rock could sound like on mainstream radio. More here: i.craftrecordings.com/rem-outoftime
