I love this thread

Great piece of writing about a song I had never given much thought. And glad I never started with alcohol. The guitar solo indeed sounds like a yelping dog.

The GOP is in fact the party of divorced middle aged men whose blue haired daughters hate them

New planet just dropped and it 1) is almost exactly Earth-sized 2) has a year that's almost exactly 1 Earth year. 3) orbits a star that is not a 💢temperamental little shit M-dwarf 💢but is instead a 🧡 good orange boi 🧡 Me for @science.org based on results presented at #RockyWorlds4: 🔭🧪

word is he has a new office awaiting him

Reasonable case could be made that Sly Dunbar is the greatest studio musician of all-time. Like since the invention of recorded sound.

It seems Sly Dunbar has died. This is his first ever recorded performance. One of the greatest singles ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w94B...

RIP Sly Dunbar, drums on everything www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc1I...

Only one of the *the* greatest drummers. Period, end of story. Salut.

My fav new album this week is The Sgidonologist2 by the young South African producer Djy Ora. Showing great progress since his debut album (last September!) and working closely with the duo M&N Projects, he represents the harder edge of amapiano to great effect. music.apple.com/nl/album/the...

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

The world was waiting for this. (In case you've forgotten the name, this is the creator and director of _Flow_ posting.)

I need to hear from the folks in the 60/70s and protesting Vietnam (and everything else)...did shit feel as corrupt, unjust, overwhelming, and impossible to overcome as they do now? Not inviting you to compare, more how you felt in the moment, not knowing what you know now

Right now!

The US granted visas to Jews but only allowed 30,000 in from Germany a year. You had to wait for your number to come up. Meet Robert Smallbones. An unassuming British diplomat who 'hacked' this system so effectively (saving 48 THOUSAND Jews) the UK government kept his scheme secret for decades /1 🧵

There will be no sleeping through it. There will be car horns and fireworks and people cheering in the streets even at 4 am.

Yes, notice also how they've said goodbye to Nathan Micay's (great) season 1-3 soundtrack

Yes, you have to read this thread 🚌

These days are the most surreal of my life. Daryna, KSE student: Lately, I’ve been spending more and more time thinking about whether I will even be able to wake up, because the cold is unbearable and I do wake up — but from shivering, not from the alarm clock. 1/

It was inevitable.

My fav new album this week is Crooked Stile by Crooked Man (AKA Sheffield legend Richard Barratt), who wields 38 years of dance experience for house music that sounds big & has both an experimental edge and a pop angle. Incl. ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ cover. crooked-man.bandcamp.com/album/crooke...

Post a car picture you took

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

One of the insanest (non?) penalties I’ve ever seen #africacup

This week I started watching season 1 of Euphoria, and updated my playlist with 🏄🏿 new music from 🇲🇽 Xavi & Carín León, 🇿🇦 M&N Projects, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ben Vince, 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Flea & Thom Yorke, 🇫🇮 Luomo, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Crooked Man, 🇨🇦🇩🇪 Mike Shannon, 🇿🇦 DrummeRTee924 and 🇺🇸 A$AP Rocky open.spotify.com/playlist/14x...

I watched two movies this weekend about middle-aged men facing their own over-the-hillness, that was tough. At least I don’t have a comb-over.

I started reading @ericdharvey.com's new Legend review before I realised it would take me almost an hour to finish it, but it was very much worth it. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Suzan & Freek krijgen de belangrijkste Popprijs van Nederland, omdat ze mensen zouden “verenigen in tijden van polarisatie.” Weten de polariserende popmuzikanten die zich afgelopen jaar uitspraken over genocide, klopjachten op migranten, oprukkend fascisme enz. ook weer waar ze aan toe zijn - 1L

This is also on regular streaming now so don't miss out if you had previously

Minneapolis residents are painting tunnels onto brick walls and ICE agents are running into them. This is not funny.

This might be the single most pathetic thing I've seen in my adult life.

Metal Postcard The intro, everything 🔥 RIP Kenny Morris 💔 youtu.be/7DkFdAKwTbE?...

they have extracted all the semen from every ice agent who plugged themselves alone in a marriott bathroom and now the president is going to drink it

Protest graffiti from Iran

checking in on the president of the United States

Didn't he also cross a double solid yellow line while overtaking that truck?

How long before one ICE agent accidentally shoots another ICE agent, and they all just open fire randomly?

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

Both the new episodes of The Pitt and Industry mention a drink called boba. I have no idea what that is, and feel hideously behind the times.

Rightwing influencers are so bad at interpreting source material that they can only do it correctly by accident, when they're trying to make a joke

My fav new album this week is Saints and Aliens by Sis and the Lower Wisdom, the new outfit from the Oakland-based 🇺🇸 artist Sis, who infuses her jazz-folk-pop music with East-Asian spirituality (and catchy melodies). sisandthelowerwisdom.bandcamp.com/album/saints...

This week I made a snowman for the first time in many years, and updated my playlist with 🌊 new music from 🇺🇸 Frances Chang, 🇺🇸 Sis and the Lower Wisdom, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Sault, 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Robert Stillman and 🇮🇹 Filippo Ansaldi & Simone Sims Longo. open.spotify.com/playlist/14x...
