Introduce yourself with 10 bands/musicians you've seen live! Triumph (3x) Rush (soon to be 5x) Fishbone Slayer Living Colour Afghan Whigs (2x including 2 nights ago) Ted Leo + Pharmacists (2x) Bad Brains Dinosaur Jr Lord Huron

Sometimes I wonder how kids discover and relate to bands from 20 years ago and then I remember that my favorite band in 1988 was Led Zeppelin.

Five television programmes to get to know me: MTV’s 120 Minutes MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball The Simpson Freaks and Geeks Star Blazers

If I am applying via an online form to get a list of quotes or offers for a good or service, I expect an online response, not a ‘thanks for filling out the form, someone will call you shortly.’ If I wanted to speak to someone on the phone, I would have made a call and provided info that way.

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

Nunca creí que los leopardos comerían MI cara

i think about this picture of fred shuttlesworth looking at his bombed out house every day because it is in my classroom and so i see it five times a week. tired and defiant. a face that says well, on we go

The trouble with fascism is that eventually you run out of other people's children

They’re reporting that the pilot slightly resembled Tom Hanks and Trump wouldn’t stop telling him “Look at me. I’m the captain now”

So weird how there’s nothing in here about disruptive leftists!

Some ICE vehicles got taken and a streamer is saying that the entire MPLS city wide battle plan, operational overviews, tactical details and agent lists + id info just got found in the car lmao these clowns driving around with hatchbacks full of their whole shit like the villains in an immersive sim

Make a Bond film casual Dr. Sure Why Not?

I feel like I’d be so hyped to be an elected democrat in 2028. Every day you’d have an opportunity to undo some travesty from the previous four years and people would just love you for doing it

First ‘Fairytale of New York’ of the season and it was Good Charlotte’s cover and now I just want to join Shane and Kirsty in eternal rest

I feel like not creating the conditions for the internal recriminations in the first place was a better way to ensure victory next November, but then I’m not beholden to airlines.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

They aren't very clever...

Finally watched Sorcerer for the first time ever and how in the world did this movie not make truckloads (see what I did there) of money? (I actually know how, but come on American viewing public in 1977)

Earl Warren Drugs

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

The only reward you get for jumping through every hoop that’s put in front of you is more hoops.

Are You There Godzilla, It’s Me Margaret

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score

Going to see SDRE TONIGHT and delighted to discover that they’re playing Pheurton Skeurto on this tour

I like how The Six Million Dollar Man began as a drama about a guy who has to overcome the horror of being reengineered as a cyborg and devolved into ‘maybe let’s have him fight Bigfoot or some shit’

Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."

I feel like things really started taking a turn for the worse when they stopped using bongoes in TV theme songs.

It’s all for you, Damien!

is this really the world you want your children to live in, and your children’s children,

Groimes, oi wiz jist about to sind a menned mishun to Maz, but instid oi hiv to reewrite the intir corpis of humin knowlidge

Part of why it’s easy to say ‘I’d be just as upset if a Democratic administration was abusing power in the same way’ - which is an important part of being intellectually consistent that the GOP is incapable of - is because no Democratic admin in my lifetime has ever come close to behaving this way

PHILLY:

Groimes, you hef to grib x.ia.7&ou and jern me in tha bunkah!

I feel like we’re starting to fall into a pattern of watching Trump and Elon take L’s all week and then we find out on Friday nights that women are no longer allowed to wear pants and the admin is taking money from entitlement programs to launch a mission to retrieve the US flag from the moon.

Saw Lord Huron in Reno last night (amazing). Very disorienting to go see a band I thought few people had heard of and then discover after the fact that two of my high school aged daughter’s friends were at the same show.

“After library officials resisted, the DOJ officials departed without resolving the conflict.” One of those sentences that tells you who and where we are as a country in 2025: librarians are braver than law firms and CEOs.

Drop a movie that you flat out refuse to watch again.

Actually, Jesus said he would build his church in rock candy and it would be hard, sweet and sticky

Released 48 years ago today "In the City", the debut single by English mod revival / punk rock band The Jam. The Jam - In The City (Electric Circus, Manchester, Aug 1977) #punk #punks #punkrock #modrevival #thejam #inthecity #history #punkrockhistory #otd

you wanna talk about waste and fraud? trump went all the way to rome just to take a nap

The Pope of Greenwich Pope

I love this stuff. Everybody decries the MCU-ification of cinema and then DeNiro comes out and says he wants to play Stilt-Man or some shit.

So I think this is the the thing that is actually the most surprising/disappointing to those of us who work in the industry. I’ve been in BigLaw for 30 years (and what I am about to say is my opinion alone and is not designed to impugn any firm I’ve ever worked for). /1

After listening to Manic Street Preachers’ ‘If You Tolerate This, Then Your Children Will Be Next’ it occurred to me how great a @tedleo.bsky.social cover would be. So this is my attempt to get @tedleo.bsky.social to cover MSP’s ‘If You Tolerate This, Then Your Children Will Be Next’

Our first post is a big one...Statement from Keker, Van Nest & Peters on Trump’s Latest Executive Order “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court.”

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

That first hallway fight scene was the best thing about season one of Daredevil. Jon Bernthal’s 5 minutes as Frank Castle in episode 4 of Born Again may be the best part of any MCU show ever.

There have been 20+ shutdowns in my lifetime and I can’t recall any that have had a material impact on my life. So the below is an important reminder about actual stakes.

It’s probably just because none of them watched it from the beginning though 🧐
