"With irony not lost on anyone, it was Engardio who played a major role in creating San Francisco’s recall machine. Now that machine has come back to bite him," writes @deanpreston.bsky.social

The Telephone Numbers' new single "Battle of Blyth Road" maps the claustrophobic competition of a music scene onto the infamous-among-lit-majors mystical showdown between Aleister Crowley and William Butler Yeats. Bittersweet, string-inflected jangle goodness! slumberlandrecs.lnk.to/blythe-road

The structural core of U.S. society — settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and heteronormative patriarchy — is being reasserted through state and vigilante violence in order to crush insurgent social and demographic movements that threaten its 400-year-old power. It’s violence all the way down.

AI is not writing. It is environmental violence and theft.

“Zohran Mamdani’s recent victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary is no doubt the shot of adrenaline that democratic socialism needs right now. But while his win shocked most of the nation, democratic socialists have always known that Mamdani’s platform was a winning one.”

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City. "He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent." It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...

Tomorrow catch us in Oakland at Eli’s with Parallel, Street Eaters, and The Gallery. Tickets: www.elismilehighclub.com/events/paral...

Chimes for all times! ⤵️ @chimeschool.bsky.social #glasgoespop #ggp25 #indie #glasgow #sanfrancisco #jangle #janglepop

I played organ on most of this record and Phil from the CS live band played drums! It’s a great one !

Prisons don’t create safety—they disappear people. And when politicians like Klobuchar fight to keep them open for jobs, what they’re really defending is a racialized economy built on warehousing human beings instead of investing state time and energy into care, housing, health, or other jobs.

Announcing... Molly Nilsson: Amateur The new album, released digitally 26.09.25, LP + CD 10.10.25 The return of everyone's favourite amateur, full of love. Listen to new song How Much Is The World: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv5z... Pre-order: mollynilsson.bandcamp.com/album/amateur

Autocamper with one of the best debuts I’ve heard in a while! Catch us together in England for four shows as we make our way to Scotland for GGP! autocamper.bandcamp.com/album/what-d...

Still happening. They have gassed the crowd at least 3 times and were bringing in more troops and vehicles all afternoon. The protest crowd includes young ppl and old women. The community is pissed and wants to defend our neighbors.

The fascist turn in this country doesn’t purely come from MAGA. It’s in the blue cities that purge the homeless. It’s in TERF politics. It’s in the belief in a “strong border” just with slightly more due process. It’s the disdain for red states full of disenfranchised people.

Nestled up against the steps of City Hall in LA is a large placard with missing posters for the recently disappeared in the city.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

The greatest tool working people have to win dignity, power and respect is organizing. So proud to stand with labor as your Democratic nominee for Mayor of New York City.

We’re back in the UK in just a couple weeks. Four shows with labelmates Autocamper, then playing the sold-out Glas Goes-Pop fest! Tickets: linktr.ee/chimeschool

Is this “abundance”??

The USA is a fucking monster.

HAPPENING NOW IM with 300 antizionist Jews occupying the ferry building in San Francisco to call for an end to the starvation of Gaza.

Always a pleasure to see @chimeschool.bsky.social (and the Telephone Numbers!) Next time, it will be in Glasgow for @glasgoespop.bsky.social !

Many of the Dems who refused to hold them accountable for the attempted coup increased ICE funding and are moralizing at protestors about “violence.”

Respectfully, if you're a white person with a lot of privileges I think posting publicly that you are scared to attend a rally is some real bullshit. It has to be said.

Sad news about Brian Wilson. He was a pop genius, no doubt. Even though his music was sophisticated and right it could be played by amateurs too. The accessibility of it made it even better. So proud to have played on this version of Don't Worry Baby by Melody Dog. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N50e...

Don’t miss us at Bottom of the Hill next Friday, June 20 with pals Telephone Numbers, and Remedy & Wren - a new group feat Alicia from the Aislers Set and Tony Molina! Tickets on sale now! www.bottomofthehill.com/20250620.html

RIP to the true master of Gold Star studios, and the og beach mod!
