Kent State happened May 4, 1970. CSN&Y recorded “Ohio” on May 21, 1970 and it was in record stores a couple of weeks later in June. And this was when you had to book scarce studio time and press and distribute vinyl. Today’s artists have lower barriers to getting something out. Where are they?

The leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.

ICE needs to be taken apart, brick by brick, and we need to salt the earth.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

One of the things I miss most about Austin is the Korean food scene there. Sigh.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Folks, we're 10 months out from the midterms and the path back from fascism is not just through the House and Senate, its through mayorships, city councils, state legislatures, and governor's mansions, too. A little money and effort can make a big difference down the ballot.

When she walks, the revolution's comin' In her hips, there's revolution When she talks, I hear the revolution In her kiss, I taste the revolution Rebel girl, rebel girl

Okay, definitely time to move to Proton. Ugh. blog.google/products-and...

Look, I still adore Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan for the worldbuilding and the vibe, but man, the central idea of the book, that journalism can and will save us, has probably aged more poorly than anything else in it.

Personally, I loved this era of the Avengers, where the West Coast team was a far better book than the main title. We had Machine Man! And the original Human Torch, which still amazes me they pulled that off. Would love to have this era of WCA/AWC in omnibus form.

On Bowie's birthday it's worth remembering what Paul Bettany said a decade ago.. "In January I dismissed my mate's theory that David Bowie was the glue holding the universe together but I don't know man... I don't know..."

New season available

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

Escalation to watch for: civil and criminal threats against people calling the ICE murder a murder, especially state and local officials and members of Congress. The regime must constantly escalate.

This is like a Bat-Signal for @jonbecker.bsky.social. dailynous.com/2026/01/06/t...

They are going to make this argument so that, like Crypto Miners before them, they can eventually extract taxpayer subsidies for shutting down during periods of peak demand. The endgame of datacenter buildouts has always been the Max Shreck villain plot from Batman Returns.

Inside you there are 2 Anarchists:

Wake up, babe. the first 30 minutes of Avengers: Doomsday just leaked. youtu.be/m0-vGW6p3zk?...

Rodimus Prime will return in Avengers: Doomsday

Gallego is one of a handful of contestants on this season of WHO WANTS TO BE THE NEXT KYRSTEN SINEMA. Until proven otherwise, he's full of shit.

xAI doubles its value after openly becoming a CSAM faucet.

Today is a good day to re-read the SECRET EMPIRE event from 2017, if you have the Marvel Comics app. It got middling reviews when it came out, but has more resonance now, unfortunately. These pages from the final issue offer a reminder that too many people in power need:

Thinking it's time to switch the business account from Google Workspace to Proton for Business. Somebody talk me out of it. Alternatively, somebody tell me how easy it was to migrate mail, calendars, and files to make me feel better about this.

A slice of really great pie and a Damn Fine cup of coffee in the right diner is a transformative experience that everyone should have at least once in their life.

Post a famous bathroom scene

"Harden and hearten your hearts, kids" because shit's gonna get harder, weirder, meaner.... and the only way through it is a love tough enough to cut through the bullshit. My friends, y'all.. .for real, each of you... change shape when you need to but guard your hearts. we need them most now.

You know these fuckers are drooling over Rubio’s mention of Cuba.

Did…did they have Twitter on a computer in the MAL SCIF? WTAF? And took pictures?!? I’m having an aneurism over here.

Sept 1 1939: The Führer announces that Poland is a clear danger to the nation, and that "In order to put an end to this lunacy I have no other choice than to meet force with force. Since 5:45 a.m. we have been returning fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs."

ngl it’s really uncomfortable to watch all the masturbation over military capabilities and actions at this circle jerk, er…press conference.

Wired: monitoring troop wallets in prediction markets Tired: monitoring TikTok posts from troops and family members Expired: capturing public Fitbit data shared by troops

If you liked Uncut Gems, you’re gonna fucking love Marty Supreme. God that was stressful.

Going to war with all of Texas is a choice I guess.

Hi, I’m gravel on a wet country road in a downpour.

orcas have the chance to do the funniest thing

I can hear screams in my Dad's voice about fucking gun safety just looking at that first photo. Great Googly Moogly.

I wondered when someone would try this Bradley Effect bullshit with AI numbers. There is no evidence for a "silent majority" of AI adopters. Turn off the "Free" option and remove that mass subsidization of Paid options and watch how quickly AI "adoption" fails.

Nothing warms a consultant's heart like signing one last contract before the end of the year. I am grateful for all the incredible clients I was lucky to work with in 2025, and looking forward to doing some amazing work with some fantastic folks in the US and abroad in 2026!

The Tolly Ho is closing?!? WTF UK students? Can you not stay out drinking late enough anymore to keep them in business?

I am an early-2000s coolhunter with an allergy to brands and labels of any kind who hangs out on Weird Cinema Usenet. #HeTookADuckInTheFaceAt250Knots

Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.
