One of my heroes. RIP Mani. 💔 www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D2q...

I love stuff like @flaminghydra.com but I gotta be honest with you all: as an old alt-weekly alum I think the culture/essay type stuff is so much better and lands so much harder when it’s grounded in a geographic community when it’s FOR a place that it loves I miss the alts so bad

Such sad news to hear about Mani. The Stone Roses were a massive band for me in 89/90. That booming bass at the start of I Wanna Be Adored was (and still remains) a truly goosebumps moment. But it wasn’t just The Roses, Primal Scream produced their best work with him in the fold. A very sad day.

Yes, you *can* use "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" in order to include all 26 English letters, but why would you when "Sphinx of the black quartz, judge my vow" exists?

there was an amazing article about exactly this somewhere in the old days where everyone was paid well and was unionized, this chart was reversed, living expenses were cheap but luxuries like TVs and whatnot were what you had to save up for. You could live a comfortable life if you were frugal

The rich and powerful aren't pedophiles in the sense that they're cursed with a condition that causes them to be attracted to children. No, they're pedophiles in the sense that they get off on exercising their power over the vulnerable.

this is just them not cleaning the machine

Housing First approaches to homelessness, that prioritize getting a stable roof over people's heads before addressing trauma from the streets & other issues, prove to lead to long term stability. Rounding every homeless person up for forced mental health care which is incarceration is not the way!

There is no hell hot enough for the administration demanding clawbacks from SNAP recipients. This is shockingly evil, especially only a few weeks away from a “holiday” where people who have the means will brag about eating so much they have to take off their belts and sleep by 4pm.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

They paid the protection money. Except they’ll have to pay it again since it’s now been established that they can be extorted out of money
