Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

I literally needed to know this exact thing, so thanks to this guy.

CHOTINER: you view music as an extension of your faith ANTON BRUCKNER: oh, very much so C: and your use of the orchestra to mimic a church organ B: devotional, absolutely C: and your regard for other composers? B: second only to my regard for the Lord C: let's talk about Beethoven's skull B:

the country in an administrative deadlock because they keep trying to officially declare trans people to be illegal but a script installed by one of the doge kids automatically deletes any mention of trans people regardless of context and nobody can figure out how to turn it off

Opening a bookstore that's not a community space. Bookstore for the purchasing of goods. Not a third place. Just a store.

I have been in the final phase of this for a few years now. It's much better than the first two. 10/10 can recommend.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

And the latest main episode of the podcast is now up! Lulu! The Shadows! Jackie DeShannon! Frankie Valli! Frank Sinatra! The Gillette advert! It can only be part one of the story of "Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin (in which Led Zeppelin themselves do not appear).

via @popularliberal.bsky.social Helen, an Air Force vet, breaks down why rural America leans Republican: fear, jealousy, and a lack of accurate information. She calls out the corruption tied to Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Trump’s team, exposing how they profit millions from Netanyahu.

Analysis | Ukraine needs Trump to resolutely turn against Russia. Its best hope may be if Putin launches a missile attack on Big Balls.

I don’t know, but 100% agree. #fuckcancer Really, really, really. It can fuck right off any time now.

The joy we felt when after hearing repeatedly to not expect anything sooner than 18 months when we were told they'd be rolling something out before the end of the year. The absolute testament to the power and ingenuity of the American system of science. Moon landing level stuff, and now erased.

Punk is also famous for not fucking around with any unpolished, personal, or messy work. Always endeavour to create the glossiest, smoothest, most mainstream and professional looking product you can, even if it means not doing the work yourself, that’s what Joe Strummer always said.

hmm… What could possibly be happening today on top of & around this unassuming propane tank? Find out later today. www.mixcloud.com/johntrumpetn...

Listening again to Anchor by Norma Waterson and Eliza Carthy, and *by God* that's an amazing album. They take songs from *wildly* varying traditions and time periods, but with odd lines of lyric that sometimes deliberately, sometimes accidentally, comment on or reference each other.

Spot on. Taken as artifacts without context, the earliest blues & jazz recordings are monumental artistic achievements. Viewed in the context of the pressure cooker of early 20th century violence, oppression & racism, they are a breathtaking triumph of the human spirit. “West End Blues” is a Psalm.

I love American Football, but have long said it should be abolished. I’d like to see it presented eventually as a Virtual Reality contest, in which skilled athletes can go full contact without risking injury, illness or death. It could be really great if done well. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/u...

I credit Sesame Street for my knowledge of English. I watched obsessively during summer vacations as a kid. Then could read Jaws and Black Sunday at 14. And yes, Grover was, is, will always be my favorite.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

If you enjoy "Remembering Some Guys" in a sports context I highly recommend getting into Jazz. There are 2 main components to jazz fandom: 1-The Music 2-Remembering Some Guys

I am going to keep screaming this EVERY time: do you know how fucking many hoops animal behaviorists have to jump through to get research alleging that animals feel happiness or sadness published and the WALL STREET JOURNAL prints that LINES OF CODE WITH NO BRAIN STEM can SELF REFLECT

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.
