I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

I’m enormously proud of what the socialist left in the United States has accomplished over the past decade. We’ve gone from nowhere to everywhere, working to build a majority coalition that can defeat fascist authoritarianism by transforming everyday people’s material conditions.

Congratulations New York, and congratulations to people around the country: Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani will be the next Mayor of NYC!

Vote Vote VOTE!!! Best tee shirt ever

Hi all 💛💚 it’s a HUGE deal to cover the mighty @seablite.bsky.social’s forthcoming farewell show at the blog today. Hit the link to learn the band’s thoughts as this beautiful creative chapter closes…

SF! Next week Nov 7 catch us at Mabuhay Gardens (og downstairs venue) with BULLSEYE (nyc) and SLOSH (sf first show). Plus DJ kid frostbite aka @slumberlandrecords.com . 8pm tix at door!

Y'all are not upset enough about THE SNAP situation for my liking. This is the intentional starvation of a civilian population that is dependent in the first place because the government manufactured conditions of deprivation. We don't have a lack of food. We have a surfeit of greed and evil.

A driverless car killed one of my favorite bodega cats. Fuck Waymo.

“We appreciate the president understands we are a global hub for tech” …so our humanity is only worth protecting in so much as it props up AI stock evaluation?!? This is super fishy.

If the effect here is to protect SF itself and to leave the more diverse, less wealthy cities to fend for themselves, that is absolutely inexcusable.

Playlist & playback for today’s It’s a Jangle Out There. jangleoutthere.wordpress.com/2025/10/23/p... @assistant.bandcamp.com @chimeschool.bsky.social @skepwax.bsky.social @slumberlandrecords.com @rebfountain.bsky.social @thephotocopies.bsky.social @skink-tank.bsky.social

The arrival of fascism in San Francisco isn't an invasion. It’s a homecoming—a nightmare scaled by venture capital.

SF! We’re playing at the newly reopened legendary Mabuhay Gardens (the og downstairs) Friday, November 7 with BULLSEYE (NYC) and SLOSH (SF, 1st show) plus DJ Kid Frostbite aka @slumberlandrecords.com. Z+N Presents! No adv tix. Be there!

BREAKING: Gaza's Media Office says the Israeli army has committed 47 violations after the truce deal entered into force in early October, killing 38 Palestinians and wounding another 143 people. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/nuq6mi

The line that started at the 2011 twitter tax break keeps leading to new circles of hell. We’ve been saying for years, the only appropriate policy toward these companies is expropriation. If they leave, GOOD.

This Friday benefit show at the Stork Club for FentCheck! I’ll be doing a stripped down acoustic 12 string set, plus other great bands and a DJ too! Flyer below 👇

And this is great news too. New songs have been sounding amazing live (as have the old ones, obviously).

We mourn the passing of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fearless Black trans elder who fought for liberation, dignity, and justice. From Stonewall to decades of advocacy, she taught us to resist, to love fiercely, and to care radically. Her spirit lives on in every fight for collective freedom.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

OAKLAND Oct 17 @ Stork Club - playing a solo set at a fundraiser for FentCheck with some great bands. Come support a good cause!

Wish I could go to this !!!

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...

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.
