THIS. Those who signed up to be fascist paramilitaries must be permanently barred from ANY public employment. Having f*cked their private sector employability the sadists and scumbags will seek to embed themselves in our society as cops and desk jockeys. Never. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Prompted by an overdue re-listen to Paul Simon’s “Graceland,” I’m finally tackling this 900 page monster. I loved White Bicycles and bought this upon release but have been intimidated by its bulk. Joe Boyd writes about music with the rarest sensitivity and insight. @ze-books.bsky.social

if you hate or love "maxxing" please be advised that guys my age think it's funny as hell and will shortly be using it approx. 500 times a day. you will be cringemaxxing and despairmaxxing but no amount of cringe & no depth of despair will stop the guys my age from usemaxxing "maxxing." just fyi

body cameras for the ring

Guilty as charged

Bluesky, you’re dunking on GB and it is giving me life.

Art in my community ❤️ (This is presented anonymously in a public place, as part of a larger manifestation bearing witness to victims of state violence. Credit to the artist)

We’ve had Dylan, weve had Springsteen, more big music biopics in the pipeline. So hear me out: A Steely Dan biopic. But it’s Muppets. I mean look at these guys youtu.be/6HTueJ__5EQ?...

Hey Chicago I love you. HMU if you want to grab one of these…I’ll have a stack at the studio, a stack at home, and will bring the rest downtown tomorrow. And remember, a masked thug is not an agent of law. A masked thug is a masked thug, full stop.

glad to be born at a time when i got to see what life was like before the internet and will be dead before AI completely destroys humanity

If lightning were to strike every tenth bothsidser, bothsidesing about how bothsides need to tamp down the hateful and violent rhetoric, bothsidesers would be decimated. That’s literally what decimated means.

What a great year for music books! Can’t wait to get into this @feralhouse.bsky.social

Still sounds like it’s from the future, or from the present of an alternate timeline

New release! The Magnetic Fields, NYC 2025 4-color silkscreen print, 18x24” S/n edition of 145 … Commissioned for a Sunday matinee event at Public Records in Brooklyn 7/13/25. Just marvel at this lineup for a moment. If you were there you probably have a poster. If not, it’s in the shop.

New print release: Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Chicago, 2025 5c silkscreen print on black paper, s/n edition of 135 . I’m really pleased with this one, commissioned by Pigs x 7 for their performance last night!

Looking good Chicago ❤️

Just finished: Neu Klang by Christoph Dallach, a Please-Kill-Me style oral history of Krautrock. Deep on some artists I knew but also many others I mostly didn’t: the Zodiac scene in Berlin, early tangerine dream and Kluster, the crazy exploits of Faust etc. Thank you @ajmacadam.bsky.social !

It’s #testprinttuesday across all platforms worldwide

Chicago Railroad Bridges (2E) Set of 4 letter-size, 7-layer silkscreen prints explores these iconic structures. I printed a new improved edition of these pieces (first made 2017) for Flatstock in March, then got sidetracked and forgot to put them up in the shop. Now remedied!

Just finished (Petty & Heartbreakers guitarist) Mike Campbell’s new memoir. I read a lot of these things and readily enjoy them without expecting great literary merit: give me some dumb rock stories and I’m happy. This one was particularly good and not dumb. Best rocker memoir since Geddy’s.

Does not suck! Backpacking in Red River Gorge, with Child #2.

I can’t get enough of this new Anika single. Anika is best known for sounding like Nico doing karaoke to a thrift store rhythm box. This is much more organic but still wonderfully icy, like an uptempo Galaxie 500 fronted by…Anika. Yay for Doom Pop. youtu.be/0CrMwEcbp9Y?...

Crosshair is live at Flatstock SXSW, the world’s best and biggest exhibition of independent poster and print art. And there is NO AI GENERATED ART IN SIGHT 👍. See you soon Austin.

Sandhill Cranes! First of the year. Looking forward to many more. Sound up^

It’s Test Print Tuesday, for those who celebrate.

Just finished: a second edition of Chicago Railroad Bridges.

If you’re fortunate enough to be in or near Cedar Falls, burn a trail Roadrunner-style to this show presenting works by several of my favorite artists IN THE WORLD, all in one place.

Some newer work. This poster was a happy and fruitful collaboration with Hamburg artist Alex Hanke (that’s him pushing the squeegee,) commissioned by @notwist.bsky.social for their historic performance at Elbphilharmonie September last. The Notwist, 2024 7-color silkscreen print S/n edition of 140
