I actually genuinely care about supporting artists and have a track record of doing so! As a show of support, I will buy an album on bandcamp for $13.12 from the first 10 artists who answer all 6 questions. I know they're hard but I hope these answers move the convo past surface-level takes.

All children are born knowing how to do this. It is culture that deprives them of this knowledge.

Lots of you saying you could beat up a baby. Um, not a MAGIC baby.

Did not realise so many people would be into this, the usual response from friends is "why though?" 😂 I do special holiday line ups but it broadcasts 24/7*, cartoon block daily from 6-noon, a 'sci-fi Saturday' line up, and themed matinees and midnight movies

a white man did this and no one hardly even heard about it.

IN VALEN'S NAME, USE ALT TEXT FOR YOUR IMAGES. You want to prove you're down for progressive causes? Do the most basic fucking thing ever and use alt-text. Also, use it to describe the image and provide context so that the people who rely on alt-text can experience your image as intended.

People have historically, and rightfully, seen the evil of Guantanamo, Abu Gharib, and now CECOT for what it is, but I wish more people would also see the evil in our domestic prisons too. How we treat our most vulnerable, including prisoners, really sets the tone for our whole society.

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

I kept seeing people use the word samizdat to refer to the Canadian sourcing of the 60 Minutes report on CECOT pulled by Bari Weiss. Here's the definition from Merriam-Webster:

CHOTINER: and when you're in water you PARTICLE MAN: don't get wet, that's right. CHOTINER: And this is because PARTICLE MAN: the water gets me instead. It becomes particle-manish CHOTINER: There's been some debate on this point. Triangle Man, for example PARTICLE MAN: I think we're done here

My kid just paused a movie to ask this important question: "why do they call it boob sweat when they could have called it humidititties?"

Don’t call it a daytime tryst, call it a

@aptshadow.bsky.social ….have you seen the jumping spider strip club yet m.facebook.com/groups/entom...

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

They totally threw Bill Clinton under the bus with photos of him being inappropriate with teenagers in the files. I'm a big fan of him being thrown under the bus I just think we all know there's a whole more folks who can fit under that bus.

Artificial Intelligence? We were promised Smell-O-Vision!

Hello Thriends! I hate asking for things On Here, but here goes. With the ICE raids and spike in immigration based evictions in Illinois, the simple truth is that I can't keep up with the demand for my services. There are way more people who need a name-your-own-price lawyer than there are Sheryls.

limitation (unsafe to breath unfiltered virus air) breeds innovation (lookin cute regardless)

Only pennies come in anymore and no one is sharing regularly for her so do the math

As a disabled guy, I don't care that much about a few abled people faking disabilities. My concern lies with the myriad disabled people who have talked themselves into thinking they aren't disabled and hurt themselves over and over trying to stay invisible.

You see someone come on on a chair and then get up and walk off, it doesn’t mean shit. You don’t know what they’re dealing with and why they did that. Truly mind your own business.

White men—30% of US population!!—are CEOs at 72% of Fortune 500 companies, direct 83% of the movies made in the US, serve as 70% of US Senators, & on & on. Their representation in key industries is at least double what their share of the pop predicts but it’s still not enough for them!

Paul’s had an amazing bit of success today. If you’d like to show your appreciation, details are👇

I gave an interview to Henry Cooke of The Post. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Kid Xmas hack: wrap up a box of their most-loved yet never-get-to-have cereal. Sounds budget but they'll go into ecstasy over those damn Coco-pops, and you don't have to make Xmas breakfast. You're welcome.

More good news. Top of the South Iwi have been awarded 3000 hectares of land in the 'Nelson' Tenths case, including the Abel Tasman great walk and $420 million. This is not a treaty issue, its a separate case of fraudulent land grabbing by the crown.

I refuse to let this era be defined by the sick villains and spineless cowards. We are surrounded by everyday heroes and they will keep emerging.

Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

the good that you do persists in this world

QED is holding a rally on parliament grounds at 12pm on Thursday the 18th, where they'll present Lauren Craig and Ngahuru Brown's ActionStation petition to reverse the ban on puberty blockers I'm in Wellington on Thursday, so I'll be there. I hope you can join me! www.facebook.com/events/84852...

Henry Ford HATED Jazz because too many Jewish & Black Folks were a part of it. He pushed the Department of Education to make square dance part of the curriculum to counter Jazz.

Gotta lot of woodwork weirdos coming out to be weird freaky little bitches about asking Mamdami's coms team to use alt text, and all of them have been subsequently embarrassed. Just use alt text, for crying out loud, you absolute breadless breadsticks. Don't start nuthin, won't be nuthin.

replacing ‘male loneliness epidemic’ with ‘male maturity epidemic’ never misses

Ryan Coogler explains why he declined the invitation to join the Academy www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/m...

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/3MTlm33

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Some say it is best to live without regrets, but sometimes regrets are necessary to uncover honor within yourself. We learn kindness from the example of others, but also from reflecting on times when we were unkind, regretting those moments, and vowing to do better.

Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54. “We go back to my apartment really pissed off,” said Nile Rodgers, “and Bernard starts singing, ‘Ahhh, f**k off!’ .. and that became the hook.”

Good news: after organizing a 16-month rent strike, tenants across 5 buildings in East Harlem have won 6 months' rent credit and repairs from Emerald Equities—and now they're exploring how they might turn the buildings into a community land trust. Kudos to @cvhaction.bsky.social for this win.

We urgently request the reinstatement of @itsmeio.bsky.social. She violated nothing. Moderation hasn’t offered evidence or justification. We call on @safety.bsky.app @bsky.app @moderation.bsky.app to open a ticket to restore her only voice.

Nothing is yours. It is to use. It is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.

whoa whoa whoa. wait a minute. stop. Quentin Tarantino talked his shit about Paul Dano on *Bret Easton Ellis's* **podcast**? you all buried the lede on how stupid this is

It wasn't all about walking. To sustain the yearlong boycott, they built a massive organized carpool system with 40 pickup stations around the city; at their peak, they were giving 15,000 rides a day. The police harassed them. Politicians and commentators called them disruptive. But they persisted.
