Thanks to @yoni191.bsky.social for setting this up! Can’t wait! Tomorrow at 8:30 at Studio 34 in west Philly!

“The sun may have set over our city this evening. But as Eugene Debs once said, ‘I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity.’” Learn more about Eugene Debs and how @forward.com's earliest years were closely intertwined with him.

now that he's fuckin dead I can say publicly that in my heart of hearts I think I made Dick Cheney give me the finger when I cut off his limo/motorcade during the 2004 Republican National Convention while working on a film shoot in Manhattan

Howard Zyn (Dunkin Donuts-flavored, obviously)

All we wanted was a chance to talk 'stead we only got outlined in chalk feet have bled, a million miles we've walked revealing, at the end of the day, the charade --D'Angelo once in a generation? only if that generation is very lucky.

we’ve gone so far past “sex workers are the canaries in the coal mine” re: internet freedom, to an internet that’s run off and robbed from all the sex workers in order to replace them with planet-destroying simulations of sex workers

TIL that the aggro af wasps you see in late summer are worker wasps who have finished their nest tasks and are all out seeking sweet stuff and raising hell for the locals with the last days of their lives while waiting to die, wasps are basically just the insect version of retired Brits in Spain

OK the whole reason I hate this PMA rebrand is not that it's just straight up ugly, it's that if you are spending $$$$$ trying to solve the problem of "people find art institutions unapproachable and/or snobby!" some nice graphics aren't gonna solve the way art has been devalued by society

Wrote about my favorite 2024 releases for MRR, all focused on Philly cause that always seems like the right move. Check it out!

average liberal: hohoho, methinks president cheeto is in for a rude surprise when these orders hit the courts 😏 average judge: i love hitler

new spin is extremely bad and prominently features a writer who describes himself as “the only anti-woke music journalist”

One aspect of the Bandcamp news that isn't likely to get deep reporting, but matters to me and some others in scenes I run in - some of the staff impacted by layoffs were responsible for acting on reports of e.g. neonazi music on the platform. With their teams demolished, that shit will proliferate.

CPJ reports that 17 journalists have died since the Israel-Gaza war began earlier this month, mostly due to Israeli airstrikes. cpj.org/2023/10/jour...

My first LiveJournal post was about Fig Newtons. This is a post about that post. I don't actually care about Fig Newtons, don't get it twisted.
