I don't think the people expressing surprise about things the Trump administration is doing understand how absolutely fucking crazymaking each of your posts is for Black and Indigenous folks who called *all of this* and sat through people talking about "respecting norms" for years

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

I don't think there has been a generation before which has been so thoroughly failed by the adults around them at every stage. It's amazing that they still have such moral clarity and initiative. God bless them.

I love how Shane Gillis (SHANE GILLIS!) was like, “Nah.”

Like this post you would be into a 2-4 times a month Substack (or a similar service) for $5/ month or $50/year. Music, film, TV, comics, and interviews. I, as the kids say, want to see something.

Oh yes, it’s that time of year when you remember that MLB TV does not include the playoffs and pro sports owners are the greedy people who ever lived

“If you want to bump off Jimmy Page, throw tuppence in front of a London bus.” — Peter Grant This episode starts in style and holds its nerve, just like the last one.

Me waking up every day and reading the news.

I have a sub to this and Me. B.A. is 100% correct about all of it

The kids are all right, but I think they need to know how great a song this is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSsW...

Congrats, TASK, on the most depressing “More Than This” synch in film history.

Probably wise

Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that bsky.app/profile/qjur...

Some important info on Kaleb Horton and his writing for MTV: as I learned, he'd reupped the Merle piece on his site earlier this year, but otherwise his 2016-2017 work there was scrubbed and long unavailable. Happily, I was able to find a Wayback link with them all. Share, read, and remember.

“God the Bounty Hunter,” is this anything?

“Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.”

KASH PATEL: you falsify that evidence with messages that are anti-ICE in nature yet? LOW LEVEL FBI AGENT: sure did, boss. wrote the words "ANTI-ICE" on them nice and big, just like you asked KASH PATEL: what

I kept coming up with jokes about him killing a Bull in the bedroom and icked myself out. That is the dude’s superpower; he is revolting third hand.

Well don't I feel stupid

The US has gone from "walk softly and carry a big stick" to "react to every perceived slight like the most insecure guy in the room"

“Steez” should come back into common use.

Every so often I sit quietly, look out a window, and think to myself -- as so many people who remember the 1980s must -- how surreal it is that the American democratic experiment was ultimately undone by *that* guy

If you’re a comedian I know who’s doing the RIYADH comedy festival, it’s not too late to drop out. The money you make will poison you. You have fucked up & you can correct the big bad mistake you’re making. Also the ppl I know who are doing it are SO WILDLY RICH already. Christ.

In 2025, SPOTLIGHT reads as just stone cold newspaper porn: big newsroom, big staff, resources, investigations, a break room with snacks…

This is the best city advice ever so I'm repeating it in all caps. DON'T STOP AT THE TOP OF THE SUBWAY STAIRS AND DON'T WALK FOUR-WIDE ON A BUSY CITY STREET.

Bingo

So many women have been talking, writing and warning people of the dangerous ideologies and biases of tech in Silicon Valley, for decades, and it’s so infuriating that so many men (not OP here) just flat out ignore it and act surprised at the technofascists infecting it now

I finished reading: In on the Kill Taker by Joe Gross 📚 This was an extremely in-depth analysis and chronicle that follows the making of Fugazi’s masterpiece. A wonderful, quick read. Highly recommended for any Fugazi fans out there.

Sounds familiar

Those… are not shell casings. Those are unfired rounds. Does Mr. Patel, a guy who orders around lots of folks with guns, not know the difference?

I definitely think Sinclair and Nexstar made this return an even bigger deal by trying to limit access. They make Trump look even weaker — and their decision more brazenly political.

As someone who's just spent in excess of £500 for 3 shows in the past 2 years, you're joking right? Seriously. As a side note... SUPPORT LOCAL VENUES. THEY'RE DYING. USE THEM OR LOSE THEM. I've seen tons of bands at 100 cap venues and they've been better than stadium shows!

As I was saying…

For my fellow west coasters who can't wait. IT'S SOOOOO GOOOOOOD youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

I mean, if you were to strip out all of the Live Nation/Ticketmaster fees, tickets may well be underpriced. In fact, I suggest Live Nation give it a go and see whether they are or not!

Kimmel: "Disney has asked me to read the following statement and I agreed to do it. 'To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account ... '"

I'm not exaggerating: tonight's @jimmykimmel.com is one of the historic moments in the history of television. He is directly calling out Trump's authoritarianism on the air.

Start bands, put on shows, record each other's bands, trade files, press stuff if you can afford it and you can avoid people like this fellow as much as humanly possible.https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/live-nation-ceo-believes-concerts-are-underpriced/

JFC, my brother could have written this. He was a primary schooler when this movie dropped and he was a WRECK.

the rapture is in beta testing right now so you’ll need an invite code from someone who’s already there

How is parking at Radio East (in Austin) for a show?

There is zero evidence that Robert F Kennedy, Jr. knows anything about autism.

Folks who dropped their Disney+ subscriptions because of the Kimmel cancelation are now breathing a sigh of relief knowing they can once again watch Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania any fucking time they want to.

We’re back tonight at 11pm on HBO Max/11:10pm on HBO! After an eventful few weeks away. And if the FCC is reading this, we just want to say: tonight’s episode is about…how cute your outfit is! And every episode after that, too, cause you’ll just keep wearing outfits! And we love that about you.

they should invent a potato peeler you can find

Not only is this @theonion.com joke come to life, it is formatted like an Onion joke.

Throat Piss, the Lost Well, ATX, 9.19.25. Big “we are so back” vibes to the room

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Lie Bot, what is the saddest thing?
