We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of T. K. Carter, beloved by genre fans for his role as Nauls in John Carpenter’s 1982 classic THE THING.

Tapping the sign

Me when people talk about what's happening on Twitter

I had to make a bunch of copies at work and there were so many jams I thought I was at a Phish concert

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

the only Mendoza I worship

I have verified that Keith Porter Jr’s father created this GoFundMe and is asking to support his grandchildren

If they would've taken the uprisings after George Floyd seriously & not just done the performative shortcuts we wouldn't be at ICE murdering a white woman. Sorry resentful Negro's where my head's at. I just think that's true.

What was your #childhoodcinema I saw a stupid number of movies at the Truman Corners Theater in Grandview, MO. Opened in 1972. I believe it was bulldozed in the early 90s along with much of the shopping plaza around it. (Honorable mention to the Bannister Mall Cinemas, which met a similar fate.)

Just in case anybody else needs an Emotional Support Unicorn today, Lupe's got you.

Some of the Blue Sky accounts are already doing this type of thing (not a complaint)

Indie bookstores are run by incredible humans who actually care about the world and people around them, who open their doors to those who need it, who speak out against injustice and demand better. If you need somewhere to be today, your local bookstore is waiting to welcome you with open arms. 💜

HBD to all my January 9 birthday bros:

There’s a new remaster of Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptian’s 1988 album Globe of Frogs and it sounds terrific.

And again

Decided to repurpose an old sketch for a new message from our giant pal: Protect Your Neighbors and Abolish ICE. Link in the next post to download and share a high-res version of the artwork, use it however you want. Maybe we’ll do t-shirts or something and donate the proceeds? #abolishice

Some people, mostly Black, Brown and Indigenous, suffered, lived, and died working to expose and protect their communities from the violence of law enforcement in this country. Don't be jerks about the work of others and act like no one knew.

impeach noem if it makes you feel better, but help us at least suspend a common police chief when one of their officers slays a black person sitting in their car/sitting in a park swing/standing on a sidewalk/etc. solidarity with blacks is foundational for antifascism; never think theyre unrelated.

One (kind of) upside to things, with all these ICE goons on extended deployments away from their families, we’re likely to see a drop in domestic violence numbers this year

Disappointed to discover that they did not use the Verve Pipe’s song for the theme m.youtube.com/watch?v=1umE...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

It's not that ICE isn't about immigration; it's that immigration enforcement is about policing, which is violent and oppressive and hates protesters.

Even money he signs off with “Kristi Noem, we salute you”

Looking forward to that email from James Carville asking for money so that Dem leadership can continue to be concerned

Greenland should make a grand announcement that no one from Greenland has ever been awarded a Nobel Peace prize. Maybe they’ll get left alone after that.

Fela Kuti's records are some of my very favourite music. Just before Xmas, I jumped on a zoom with Lemi Ghariokwu, who painted a number of Fela Kuti's greatest album sleeves. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

“We dug coal together.”

I missed that Fucked Up dropped a new album back in December. Holy cats, let’s GOOO!

Even for a guy who became famous for being a dumb racist, this is just so dumb and racist

Want to take a listen as to what was on the 97X/woxy dot com 97 Best of 2000? Thanks to former co-worker Mike, there's a Spotify playlist for just that! One song wasn't on the service, so it's 96 tunes. But still a nice snapshot of what we played back then.

I get that to be or not to be is one of the most famous & philosophically resonant lines ever but in my day to day existence this one always tops it easily

"But science tells us that trauma and adversity do not usually make anyone — kids or adults — stronger or better. It far more often does the opposite, causing injury associated with lifelong increased risk for poor health and shorter lifespans."

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over
