I think I dislike YouTube book reviewers even more than the people on GoodReads. It seems like literary reviews are all basically product quality reviews. Was it always like this? Does anyone out there do critical analysis (as in, engage with the themes, not just list the book's sins)?

"Wearing All Black at Protests Makes You Guilty of Terrorism, Prosecutors Tell Jury The Prairieland case is a major test of the Trump administration’s push to label “antifa” protesters as terrorists." All eyes on Prairieland 👀 Read: theintercept.com/2026/03/12/a...

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1.My brilliant wife 2.Making drone with friends, utilizing strings, guitars, synths and loop pedals, until the drone starts to play through you and you become it's instrument 3.Lentil, rice and bean dishes

Six years ago today, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was shot six times and killed by police officers who forced entry into her Louisville, KY apartment. Her death sparked nationwide outrage and calls for an end to police brutality and gun violence against Black people. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter

I get the comparison, but I gotta say, collage is an artform that requires thought and creativity, and is often meant to imbue the final piece with aspects of the images that make up the constituent parts, either by emphasizing or highlighting their original point or aesthetic, or else subverting it

Closing the Straight of Hormuz may end up being the closest we come to a "green new deal" in my lifetime.

"Trump is gonna back down, like he always does" yall know that Iran gets to decide when the strait opens again, right? That's the whole situation here

Barto is just "other podcasters" now huh?

Honestly hard to know which second of the 30 or so after he returns that I would pick as “the absolute weirdest second I’ve seen of a Trump official (aside from Trump) on camera,” but at least five of these seconds are in the top 10.

Lovely, foreboding. Reminds me of when I'd be up at 3 am at the undergrad art studio.

Every time we open our inbox it's "Why does your monster movie podcast never discuss Michael Mann's 'Thief?'" So we're putting this one to rest. Up for the patrons tonight. Up for everyone else whenever you become patrons.

<3 <3 <3 you make amazing music! i'm always gonna try to get other people to listen to it, too!

hey, did you think the score for The Fountain was one of the most beautiful things ever made? do you love GYBE? are you really sad and need a feeling of catharsis? if any of those answers are yes, you need to listen to this immediately

From Chicago and the Twin Cities to Vermont, police departments play an essential role in the ICE abductions, violently suppressing resistance that would otherwise keep people safe from the clutches of the kidnappers. ICE is the enemy of humanity. So are police. crimethinc.com/police

this is really neat

That's a much better way to put it! Relatedly, I feel like queerness at it's core is a Rupture similarly to how, say, the movements seen in minneapolis and elsewhere are ruptures

sometimes i think that the hegemony of streamer grievance rants is only possible in a world where people mostly don’t think pleasure is possible anymore

I'm sure this is nuts but this is a real problem. How can a revolutionary movement enjoy themselves? The gap, in the production of desire, between reactionaries and literally everyone else is enormous and, in my view of things, one of the more consequential problems we're facing today.

calling all elder millennials who stayed up way too late in college listening to mogwai while working on papers: this fucks

The reviews are in!

ooh, i like this a lot

how on earth do you have the time for so much cool shit!

Hell yeah man, the drone bass noise on this goes so hard.

Yeah!!!

Takes me back to the first time I heard Miranda Sex Garden. I’m down with it!

Really love this!

fuck yeah this rips

What a tune, excited for more

I adore this...beautiful, haunting, and ominous like stormclouds hanging dark and heavy with change and floodwater and devastation.

Hezbollah is lighting up Northern Israel tonight.

I'm really excited to share some music with everyone. I'm lucky enough to be working with some incredible musicians and I think what we're doing is really special. It's free to download so I hope you'll check it out and keep following along as we put out more. lunarwake.bandcamp.com/track/we-hav...

ICYMI - I had the honor of contributing to the newly released benefit comp from Ripping Nails Records ‘Free Congo’ , to provide aid for folks in the DRC. All profits will go to the Panzi Foundation.

People have been sharing that article about how hegseth bought a bunch of crab and ice cream machines with dod money, and like, I guess that's bad from an accounting perspective, but that's easily the least evil thing the dod has ever spent money on

Why would I care about the literal price tag of war? What is $11 billion dollars to the United States? Who knows? Was that money ever going to be used to uplift people? Decoding the incredible violence we're responsible for and recoding it as money is paving over the deaths those dollars paid for.

All eyes on this case. Solidarity with the Prairieland Defendants. For them, but also for all of us, as this outcome affects us all. And as @dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social has said, no matter what the verdict, this isn't over, so keep paying attention

what in the world

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Jokes aside, this is great and I can't believe it's three people. Would love to hear more

I also enjoy Godspeed (complimentary)

we need to address the end of good-paying jobs for melancholics, like lighthouse keeper or fire tower watchers

This was amazing, such a good listen 🎶

fantastic
