any WA people have insight into this? people are crashing out on the instagram post

hardly an original observation here but McVie/Fleetwood is an absolutely goated rhythm section

this is crazy but its true: before William Shakespeare, there is no attested use in the English language of the word “bussin’“

lutheran church scene report: I think a couple people recognized Cold Jordan when I played it during communion

if I may lib out for a moment: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

NOT 👏 THE BEHAVIOR 👏 OF A REGIME 👏 WITH A FIRM GRASP ON POWER

i don’t follow this bot but I assume this is the only lyric it’s posted for a few weeks

i guess ICE is tear gassing a crowd of nurses and teachers in Portland, which raises the question of why ICE even has tear gas in the first place

this is nearly 1% of the population of Minnesota. it’s not even february

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

second sentence is also how to live with Pitchfork

simplest answer

what’s the deal with every website being so overloaded with ads it forces my phone to refresh every three seconds? am I doing something wrong? is it like this for everyone else?

this makes me feel like I’m going to have an episode

the “deep state“ people were, as per usual, right but not in the way they thought they were right

KEEP CALLING THEM IT’S WORKING

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

the failure of congressional Dems to meet the moment (TM) is by no means an illusion, but I am BEGGING people to realize that most media has no interest in balanced, reliable coverage of what they’re doing or saying

many troubling takeaways from these, but one good takeaway, which is that this is absolutely catastrophic

i’m really enjoying the ”rise of the religious left“ side plot of 2026

Doctors Hate This One Weird Trick

hey, pramila getting to root causes here, you love to see it

i taught Gregorian chant to college freshmen for awhile too, and the kids felt about as equally culturally connected to that as they did to celebrity social awareness songs of the 1980s

the fundamental political philosophy of the past 50 years is “the government is useless and only gets in the way” and Democrats older than, like, 40 are simply incapable of understanding that this philosophy’s time is over

it's not a republican vs democrat thing it's really just two emerging views of political society. do you want the boot or do you want to stand up for your community and neighbors. if anything the democrats are standing there watching it take shape with bovine incomprehension

thanks Ruben for giving me a clear ask when I call my senators

happy 270th to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! his unequalled ability to convey emotional states — sometimes even multiple contradictory ones simultaneously — is really on display in this piece, perhaps my favorite of his piano concertos:

HP isn’t the greatest example, because the author is a TERF and the books aren‘t good and that’s why kids don’t read them, but it’s another piece of evidence in my pet theory that a lot of media from 1995-2015ish has aged poorly because it inadvertently demonstrates how we got to our current moment

insofar as any of the big Bob Dylan albums can be underrated, Freewheelin’ seems to take kind of a backseat to your Highway 61s and Blood on the Tracks but you would be hard pressed to name any other album with so many songs that just immediately absorbed into the collective consciousness

[stares directly into the camera]

quick, someone check polymarket

my viking blood makes me need to ask a robot how to cook eggs

what too much age of empires does to a mfer

sporting events are basically the most “hey man let‘s keep politics out of it” forum in American public life. So this really demonstrates how absolutely catastrophic this blowback is

how can you run when you know?

not to say stop putting pressure on electeds, but they are not the ones coming to save us

i can’t fucking believe i have to agree with b*ll fucking kr*st*l

I may be mistaken on this but in past mass demonstrations, the government has mostly wanted the demonstrations to stop. Police killing someone would be a PR nightmare, even career-ending. This admin wants people dead. They want civil war

seattle vibe check: there’s about 100 mostly old folks demonstrating in Ballard

all of this is happening because they are very, very afraid

our system of government is basically premised on the idea that people in power will stop doing bad things because other people in power tell them to stop, because nobody wants to test what happens next. Well, now a guy in power ain’t stopping and so far nothing has happened next

guess I’ll call my reps while I wait for the windshield to defrost

what is interesting to me about that second part is apparently ICE did not offer resistance to MPD countermanding their orders. They may outnumber the local cops but they are still cowards who don’t want to fight

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez just broke ranks and voted FOR this. Are you going to push to have her censured or stripped of her Appropriations Committee assignment?

I genuinely believe, very firmly, there are many times more normal, reasonable people than there are bigoted freaks, it’s just that the normal and reasonable people have not been sufficiently organized. Until now.

unbelievably stupid of MGP, SW Washington's economy would completely collapse without undocumented labor

don’t I get to see the results now?

behind the times here but just listened to the Hug the Heat Deadcast ep and read the dead essays 1/8/66 post and if it’s true that the 1/8/66 material is actually from different dates and that Babbs selected it and produced an LP, that’s pretty much how all the other live albums were made too

7/2/71 Other One has some really neat Bobby work before the second verse
