New Yorkers, they get the job done.

#NowListening to Travelogue (1980), a weird little experimental synthpop album. A year later and with a change in lineup, they blew up.

I would guess the people who are on Bluesky to discuss politics DO want to be in an ideological silo. Let them reskeet and hi-five each other in peace. I would also guess most of the interesting accounts on here are not here for the politics. There’s lots of music and book talk here. Follow those.

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

"who was president from March 2020-January 20, 2021?" is one of the most fiercely contested questions in American politics

Honestly the only way I can frame the '10 bands/musicians you've seen' meme is if there's no way to see them anymore. So: Depeche Mode (w/ Fletch) Killing Joke (w/ Geordie & Raven) Douglas McCarthy Throbbing Gristle Peter Brötzmann Pink Floyd (w/ Rick) Pan Sonic The Cranberries Low Earnest Rapture

I don't think most people have even tried to grasp how it feels for trans people to be segregated, hunted, betrayed by allies, met with silence and neutrality by friends & family, and then wake up every single day to see articles and polls asking if there's a Centrist Solution to the Trans Problem.

“.. A government of laws, not of men,” read the quotation from John Adams, the second president. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The most middle range or even bad movie shot on actual 35 mm film from the 1980s looks like a fucking Caravaggio masterpiece compared to any $200 mil Marvel movie digital slopfest

I took the full 80-question version of this quiz. findmypolitics.com

The Phillies are the free MLB TV game of the day! First time I’ve watched a live game this season.

GOD. DAMN. This Louisiana man fucking COOKED like I’ve seen very few people cook before.

Clarence Thomas was born closer to when the Comstock Act he invoked in tonight’s dissent was passed in 1873 than to today.

TIL: YouTube is ubiquitous. More people in the U.S. stream YouTube on their living room TV than stream Netflix.

I consider Endless Summer by Fennesz to be ambient music canon at this point, in the pantheon which includes Music For Airports, Structures From Silence, Substrata, SAWII.

Doctors say that a Vitamin K injection given at birth saves the lives of hundreds of newborns. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for "further study" says the injection can create mitochondrial challenges. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Getting into the shower too quickly and having to wait for the water to warm up…

Ahhh... Project Freedom* plus other things** * = corruption, sleazy deals ** = corruption, sleazy deals

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.

These viruses have been known problems in Korea for so long that there’s literally a M*A*S*H episode about them. People work their whole careers on viruses most people have never heard of…so that you never have to hear about them.

One thing I notice about getting older is I have warmed up to the retweeting of cute animal pics. Propagating those feels good. Besides, this is a pro-democracy doggie.

The reluctance to get off X, a platform owned by an antisemitic white supremacist conspiracy theorist who tells us ALL THE TIME that he uses the site to privilege his views, is absolutely wild to me.

A message from Mary, a 72-year-old Amazon worker from North Carolina projected onto Jeff Bezos’s $120 million penthouse before tonight’s #MetGala, chaired by Bezos.

"It doesn't matter if we all die..." On this day in 1982, #TheCure released the deliciously dark "Pornography" - their fourth studio album.

Anyone who used computers before 1992, what's a video game you still think about all the time?

There are a bunch of very cool blogging platforms built on AT Protocol, the same open protocol powering Bluesky. So you can even blog while still being wired into the Bluesky network and getting all the social engagement power of that. @leaflet.pub, @pckt.blog, @offprint.app, etc.

15 years ago today, Kate and William killed Osama Bin Laden at their wedding.
