Read this as “while the universe organises my pizza”

Your “get me up after my nap” prize for today is some loud Irish rapping over a bouncy beat. kneecap.bandcamp.com/track/fenian

OK I made the hounds go for an early and long walk, tidied up, did the grocery order and sorted the recycling. I'm going to have a nap while the universe organises my prize.

You know what England imported a lot of in the 15thc? SOAP!

Did my joke on stage last night “you kids have it easy with your ozempic, back in my day if you wanted to take jabs to lose weight it was heroin or nothing” A woman in the audience shouted “or Speed!” I told her to sign up to Bluesky as I had a feeling she’ll love it.

I think this is one of my massive issues with streaming services like Spotify. You want to listen to an old friend but its some enhanced version with bonus tracks or the US release and is just WRONG. It breaks the connection you have with the work as a whole.

She went on a boat to Norway with her mum and sister (I don’t do boats) and said “yeah I took a few pictures, don’t know if they’re any good” The pictures:

Her brother Barney has now given it a try and decided its perfect for naps. craftysharp.etsy.com

Oh hai. Please enjoy this siren howl. [Volume up]

Crap. I remember him, seemed like a nice guy and genuinely part of the scene rather than just an "Is it a Banksy?" gallery owner getting rich off street art.

If Monday was a mushroom.

Post a poster you used to have on your wall. Had this up for ages as a kid through to leaving home at 18, didn't realise for years it was by Jimmy Caulty of KLF fame.

🚨BREAKING: NJ state police tackle unarmed anti-ICE protesters while trying to enforce an ILLEGAL curfew on the press. "Hands up don't shoot!" protesters chant. Our Jon Farina & Will Allen-DuPraw report ⬇️

It's past midnight here, which means it's Pride Month, bitches!! 😘🌈

It’s just stunning. The White House trailer park.

A reminder that a corporation that gives 1% of its profits for thirty days only is not really an ally but you can be by shopping from queer owned artists and shops, tipping, and mutual aid assistance to queer people is where it's at. Happy Pride.

A bit of good news

Distressing themes, huh? Yeah, don't read this if you're easily distressed. On the other hand, if you're living with adenomyosis - well that's fine. Just deal with it. We'll minimise, ignore & abandon you because we haven't researched it, except to check it doesn't interfere with men's pleasure.

Exactly what I’ve been saying tonight. Costello is a true progressive Democrat with an excellent resume, well spoken, a life of service, no baggage. Seems like giving him the $$ & support Dems gave Platner would give Mainers a candidate to be proud of.

if this was 25 years ago when we had way more WWII vets alive this Platner discourse would go A LOT differently. three of my grandparents served in the war and they made their stance on nazis very clear by killing them.

David Costello was squeezed between the Bros pushing Platner & Schumer pushing Mills. The political establishment ignored the perfect candidate. He was born in Maine & has led a truly impressive life of service to democratic goals.

Depends on the cause of deflation. If caused by productivity gains, it is fantastic for the middle class. Workers are smart to want deflation. It would mean that productivity gains go into their pockets instead of their bosses.

And that was in 2024. They aren't even discussing how bad it is now.

Outside Delaney Hall today.

I know it’s a big ask, but everyone needs to watch more interviews and panels with CEOs. They are so disturbing and repellent but to really face the reality of not only the fact we’re in a class war but the nature of who it is we’re battling, and the future they are authoring, is essential.

we cannot be a nation until the whole hell of the deportation machine, the family separation machine, the foul moloch that sustains Stephen Miller and grinds children into dust, until all of that is dismantled and the work of reparation begins www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Monday duck!

Kind of hate that for the past several years, I find myself dreading the month of June because that's when the right-wing decides to be *especially* anti-LGBTQ (more than the usual amount, which is a lot) as a way to show how much they hate the idea of Pride.

They kettled press as well as protestors. Now they're giving press "one opportunity" to leave. www.youtube.com/live/dhCEpox...

When your movement is built on intense paranoia and the constant surveillance of gender presentation, no one is safe from scrutiny -- not even the movement's own champions. All fascist movements eat themselves because fascism requires a constant supply of "traitors" to be subjugated.

thinking about that period of time where they invented the word "metrosexual" to describe a man who showers

These protests were relatively benign and peaceful for days and days until they started getting national attention and now the cops show up and it's just fucking violence and chaos. It's pretty clear who the instigators are here and it's not the protestors.

And now, a very special message from Garak.

Still haven't seen it reported in the state's paper of record, but the People's Lawyer Keith Ellison just put out a press release condemning this bullshit:

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

In response to the New Jersey Attorney General’s statement tonight about the protests outside of Delaney Hall, we asked for comment about police using rubber bullets on photojournalists, rounding them up, and forcing them to leave. No response so far.

The Epstein files and videos are a log of the worlds Transnational Organized Crime syndicate! They all need to fucking burn in hell!

Ellie isn’t in the Epstein files but she is in the #nycacc Euth list! She needs you now! Pls repost this precious girl!

For years, MAGA was obsessed with exposing the “Epstein elites.” It was the worst scandal in history. Now that questions are being raised about their lord and savior the urgency is gone. It’s almost like it was never about the victims. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks www.rawstory.com/tom-barrack-...

Fatass starving kids Gee

So much of the pandemic was us finding out life actually could be easier and better and more accessible, and then watching them peel every scrap of that back out of our hands & lives, often for incoherent reasons. (return to office!)

This is… painful. We don’t want to hear that. Not the Soviet anthem Russia then rephrased as theirs. Not now. Not related to this competition: Russia literally killed and injured athletes. A young beautiful girl has lost a leg and is still competing now, for instance.

and there are still people on the *left*, some here on this website, that will tell you that people’s economic insecurity is simply *imagined*
