Got to give it to the Saudis, they'll spend unreal amounts of money to try and make people thing they aren't violent torturers and murderers, they're violent torturers and murderers who also love art and comedy. Booking a comedian who lost his dad on 9/11? Truly diabolical

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

4chan well I never

If you are in LA this weekend, two HILL Network events! First you can join us at Sepulveda and Marine for Hold the Line

In 2022, Live Nation paid ceo Michael Rapino $139 million for the year

Who will be the first celeb to put out their own inscribed bullets

There should be congressional hearings anyone wants to change or discontinue a product, I HATE CHANGE

Also this is implied in the thread but to reiterate, negativity bias is only applied to autism and transness because people assume they’re “bad” - if they’re neutral, then there’s no “need” to identify causes. Autism/transness are being constructed as “problems” in order to then “solve” them

SPOILER but Traitors Ireland ending with two Black women defeating two patronizing mansplainer white pricks is the best thing to happen in this world for a while

NJ PBS shutting down next summer. “15yrs ago Gov. Christie ended 4 decades of state funding for public TV, forcing them to find a new funder. The state cut $750k in funding this yr, but that was hardly the fatal blow; that came from the end of federal funds.” newjerseyglobe.com/media/new-je...

lolololol

seems like more of a Laffer Curve guy to me

ICE raided a community breakfast and a car wash in Long Beach yesterday, two confirmed taken; today they took at least one person from the San Pedro Home Depot. If you live in LA, or wherever you are, please consider how you can get involved to protect and help your community I just have no words.

Is anyone the slightest bit surprised? Who did the legislature think was going to enforce this law? Local LEO who are literally helping iCE? Do something meaningful Newsom www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

Not saying it isn't fucking terrifying to have masked men kidnapping, assaulting, and killing people but let's not forget that armed men without masks have been doing it for years. Lots of them do it on camera! They usually have badges and drive black and white cars, not hard to spot.

incredible damage to NYC community--Bluestockings was an incredible bookstore, but also the place that would eagerly welcome local high school kids who didn't feel safe having LGBTQ support gatherings on campus, sell your insane zine and treat you like an author, host highbrow panels, devastating

I hope this marks a long term reversal of fortunes for the white evangelicals invading East Africa. They’ve been getting heinous laws passed in a lot of other countries, but especially Uganda.

So for no reason at all I'm looking into getting some body cams--looking for something lightweight with cloud upload. That last bit seems to be a sticking point, so maybe we should just accept the drawbacks of not having cloud upload?

if someone doesn't upload Traitors Ireland Ep 11 soon I am going to LOSE IT

Remember that the threat assessment done before Jan 6 concluded there was slight risk of Antifa violence and none at all of right-wing violence, cops suck at their jobs

In 2020, the LAPD met with AG Barr to discuss the protests in LA. A major chuck of the presentation was about Antifa's presence at the protests. The FBI evaluated 500 arrests and found none of them had ties to any Antifa "extremist" groups. Slides below, obtained FOIA, highlight the convo:

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

This.

Imagine working at Tylenol right now

At least 76 killed in Gaza City alone as 450,000 flee Israeli attacks on the coastal enclave’s main urban centre.

I'll never stop being furious that you can't have two phones with the same number. Also I want my Blackberry back.

Punk bands covering tv theme songs is really one of my favorite things www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iwC...

‘We are losing our archives. I mean this in the most literal of ways, as rising far right authoritarianism usurps and remakes the institutions that hold cultural memory and history; already filled with holes, they now feel like they could be obliterated into nothingness.’

Today I learned about the existence of chicken salt, which combines my favorite thing ever (salt) with something so disgusting my stomach is churning just thinking about it (chicken) I would like to reserve the rest of my time

FUCK OFF DISNEY

If Kamala’s book isn’t called “I let my support for genocide literally trump our country,” I’m not interested

Our friend Hadeel is in the supposedly safe "green zone. But of course, it isn't safe. Her husband needs surgery for blood clots after a severe head injury, and their children are hungry. There is so much sorrow. please listen and give if you can. gofund.me/173194b32

My local buy nothing is wild

So Newsom did sign the bill--I'm surprised. But he's still darkside on way too much

The orcas are back at it😎 www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMd6LXgu/

This is tiresome: a couple builds a 4100 ft.² second home, but reuses materials and so it is supposedly eco-friendly. What’s even greener: - Keeping the existing building - Not having a second home at all

Starbucks says surveillance clears an employee who’d been accused of writing “Loser” on a cup when someone ordered Charlie Kirk’s “favorite drink.” The accusation was originally posted by a Republican party official. It forced the store to shut down for safety. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/19/v...

Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago:

Worth noting this story was posted in my hometown's subreddit and the mods removed it because they felt it was an "attack" on Mr. Poe. Who had sex with underage girls for decades.

I FINALLY saw Secret Mall Apartment, I have been obsessed with this project for YEARS, the movie is SO GOOD a DELIGHT tackling gentrification, revenge, domesticity. Also shows the group's other public art projects around 9/11, OK City bombing etc. SO GOOD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9OC...

Wild shit

Finally a small measure of justice for what happened at my high school. There are morewomen, going back to the 60s, who were assaulted by Mr Poe or one of his athletes and were ignored by admin. Fuck you forever Garry Poe, including your extra r. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Not a single member of the so-called opposition party bothered to object to honoring a racist.

There's video online of one my Uncle's best friend, along with 9 other people, being murdered at a grocery store for being Black.

She's headed for a late-night slot!

So--is there no way to listen to playlists that were created on Spotify if you don't have Spotify? Eg the ones on this page lapca.org/exhibition/a...

still glitching out over Bari Weiss interviewing Woody Allen about who he’s going to vote for mayor of NYC and him saying Cuomo

Lots of Kimmel fanboys out there who seem to think he has a magic contract

Anyway not that there were really any doubt, but "I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next" just weeks ago

Don't threaten us with a slightly less horrific time--but I really doubt Newsom will sign it
