Getting emotional about a network tv shows handling of addiction issues

Another day another battle in the war on wokeness (ill-defined)... incidentally I discovered recently that the OED cites this 1962 Op-Ed by William Melvin Kelley (sort of forgotten/rediscovered Black surreal/satirical/magical realist Black novelist) as the first printed usage of 'woke' in the […]

" Lost Souls of Society Become Hypnotized by Gangsterism " - Journal of Gang Research

" Taco Zimmerman, chief executive of AVROTROS, the public broadcaster that organizes the Netherlands participation [in Eurovision], said in a statement that “culture unites, but not at all costs.” "

Just saw an AI generated astrology reading video ad ... we're cooked.

A woman at the bar a few seats over is talking to the bartender about the new Diddy documentary. "someone made a new doc about Puff Daddy and he hates it so now I absolutely have to watch it." "Isn't he in jail or..." "I think so but this doc is about his fall. I'm so curious." I want to lean […]

There's something beautiful about having no idea what I listened to this year. No clue how many hours of music were consumed. No clue which song I couldn't live without. No clue what micro-genre defines me. Just absolutely free of statistics.

Hitting the decks on DECEMBER 17th. Casa Del Popolo. You know what it is. Save the date!

Solidarité Auto-Érotique

There's a subtle irony that the UN recognizes the international Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people on November 29th. November 29th 1947 being the day that UN resolution 181 passed through the general Assembly calling for the partition of Palestine […] [Original post on 438punk.house]

Because the train tracks don't follow the highway when you ride it at night there are long stretches of impenetrable darkness.

I never thought my two favourite ongoing tv shows in 2025 would be about older woman lawyers sleuthing it up...although I did watch a lot of Murder She Wrote & Hetty Wainthropp Investigates growing up

Weeping because I read the sentence "Ozempic for dogs." And it was meant earnestly.

When does American Thanksgiving actually occur? I feel like the discourse this year has it stretched into a two week affair?

Been en route now for 24 hrs. Sad & Tired.

Overheard on the train through Eastern Germany: " There are things I agree with Trump on. I agree with - well I don't want to tell you because it's not politically correct but there are things I agree with Trump on." Interlocutor: "Umm." From what I could tell these people were friendly […]

Despondent on the DeutscheBahn

Turned 39 a bit early at a festival in Brussels watching a Japanese mushroom psuch trance band. Feeling many weird things.

To use your dematerialized tickets remember to : ...

MOIN is playing at the same festival as us. At the same time as us.

I'm honking with my ever-changing collab project ⛈️🛰️⛈️( myself & Moskos from Drainolith on this outing). We are opening for a new Special Interest affiliated project. It is on Wednesday night. I leave the continent on Thursday for most of November. So come say by ! It's like my MTL bday.

Everyone's saying that new NYC Mayor has a thin resume but excuse me have you played The legendary Nyege Nyege Festival ???

The Jamaican Association of Montreal is collecting donations! There's also a funding drive and support can be sent directly to Jamaica. https://supportjamaica.gov.jm/

Gave candy to a group of like 5 kids tonight and they all individually said "Merci, Free Palestine!" Which basically cured me.

My coworker and I showed up to work in the same costume. This was unplanned.

I keep thinking about this video when I read the news https://youtu.be/Rk3lcEeoEy8?si=eYob-Od9iL8ntNr6

Who collects used bikes in MTL? I have two in my living room that need to not be in my living room. I called SOS Vélo but they went bankrupt... Qui fait le collect de vélo a Montréal? J'ai deux vélo dans mon salon qui ben serai mieux hors mon salon! J'ai essayé SOS Vélo mais ils n'existent plus...

"violence, foul language, and flashing lights"

🦜 Talk Divinely to Me! I'm looking for people willing to do a one question audio interview. The resulting audio to be used in a live set ( on Nov 5) + possibly a recording at some point. French or English or a third language! Remote or in person. I just need your voices all voices welcome!

Was trying to work with some music on but just got completely transfixed by this live video of Brazilian band Méta Méta performing their sophomore album MetaL MetaL live. Inspired by candomble chants ( candomble being a syncretic afro-brazilian religion ) it is in their own words: «C’est une […]

Been slowly discovering and falling in love with the music of Chilean folk musician Violeta Parra (in part because there is an artist-in-residence at work using her songs for creative research). She was born in 1917 and her work which continued right up until her death in 1967 sounds so very […]

"Big D said you know what he wants" - Johnnie To's Election ( 2005 )

D'Angelo!?! D'Angelo!?! At least he leaves a pure discography. Rest in Power.

You know it's gonna be a good show when someone messages the gear thread to borrow a contact mic for "the fuck machine". Catch 4 noise acts on Oct 12 Le Gay Rage!

It's funny DJing at casa cause on one of my first trips to Montreal I was at casa with a pal and the DJ played a Palais Schaumburg track that blew my mind and she seemed like the coolest person in the world. I'm decidedly not the coolest person anywhere but Shota did just offer me the first […]

Guerilla Toss Live at Lodge Room on 2025-10-02 https://archive.org/details/GT2025-10-02.ncarchive

I feel weird about calling it fascism because we are in the 21st century and there are meaningful ways on which that's different BUT it's very similar and it's small but actually punk shows talking about a different world are indeed not only possible but necessary!

It's absolutely not long johns season yet but my basement apartment is called and I definitely considered them while dressing this morning.

Last chance to see The Lost Paintings project - 53 Palestinians artists asked to recreate based on titles alone an exhibition that was set to open Nov 29th 1947. Certainly there is sadness and anger but much of the work is also playful and full of hope! OCT 4th is closing day. The exhibition is […]

"Our ox of a protagonist..." Would be a better sentence if it referred to an actual ox and not a former professional wrestler.

I don't have to work today so I might just read some books and listen to some tunes.

Slash/Need is funny as an opening act cause then throughout the rest of the show if you look around there's just some folks with their ass out (positive)

Genuinely thought the band The Rapture was announcing a reunion or something and I was completely flabbergasted by their popularity.
