Ok - Ricky Byrd says that isn’t him. Anyone know Lorna’s mystery conversation partner?

It's a new month and I have a new FLASH SALE. Attention DARBY CRASH / GERMS fans!! Here's the link for the individual photos (it'll try to upsell you on the 4-pack if you are interested in that) www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/...

Flight is booked via a credit thing. Paying a crazy interest rate but I can't wait for Gofundme to clear this... but assume it'll eventually go through. If you want to support, you can do it here or at Venmo/CashApp at ZDRoberts or at paypal.me/zdroberts

Hey rock & roll people - I know this is a murky picture BUT... Do you know who the guy is next to Lorna Doom? The foreground is Rory Johnston, behind him is Lorna. Is that Ricky Byrd next to Lorna? This is May 23, 1978 at Joan Jett's apartment. Thanks!

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Obviously this is targeted at leaks to journalists, but it could also be a tragedy for historical and scholarly works on the court that rely on more benign interviews with clerks to learn what happened.

you probably never guessed that Peter Tosh on a unicycle would be the hint that Nick Lowe is the axle on the truck that brought us from pub rock to punk rock and that they all listened to and incorporated reggae into their rock and roll. open.substack.com/pub/punkturn...

Hey people who aren’t in Nashville: The power is still out for a lot of people. (Day 8, give it up for day 8!) The temps are still below freezing. The alleged president still hasn’t approved our disaster declaration so we can’t get any help from whatever is left of FEMA. Send money.

My car was stolen right from outside my apartment. While I unravel the mess, someone w/ a spare car offered it to me for $3,000, and since rent is due tomorrow, I launched a go-fund-me to help me buy this car. If you can help or spread the word, it would be much appreciated. gofund.me/e447705ab

Clear insight into the personality of a petulant brat. He wants unilateral control of everything and to do damage at whim.

Apologize to whom and why? I just can’t…. Please Great Hamburglar, do your thing!!!

There’s a piece within my REtroSPECT exhibit called FUCKED UP FILM STILLS. Here’s one featuring Anna Statman in 1978 WAY before her professional renown as A&R for Interscope. I always looked for angles that could be passing shots from DARLING (1965, John Schlesinger; Julie Christie’s Oscar)

Indivisible has a tool here with a call script: indivisible.org/actions/ice-...

Why are CHILDREN being detained??

For those asking where we go from here: Not voting to fund ICE is a great place for us to start.

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”. Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists. Name them, record them, and make it public.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

This is the energy I am looking for. oh @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - do you hear me? What about you @schumer.senate.gov You guys need to get Brooklyn on these thugs. MELT ICE NOW

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Seeing/sharing news about this morning's shooting in Minneapolis? ✅Check timestamps. RTing old info adds to the fog. ✅ Check original sourcing. Trusting the person who shared it isn’t enough. ✅ Check image credits. ✅ Check your impulses. 🛑 Don’t share unsourced, undated images/video/graphics

This is such an important point. This family tried to follow the rules. The distinction is going to get more important when they start mass deporting the people whose TPS status Trump revoked. They’ll call them “illegal” too, even though they were here legally until Trump yanked the rug.

Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are. And MAGA knows it. www.cnn.com/2026/01/23/p...

Adverse weather events disproportionately impact disabled people We’re more reliant on electricity & infrastructure than our non disabled peers We need warning & time to prepare DHS is telling FEMA to downplay using the word “ice” Check on the disabled people in your life. Make sure they’re ok.

well, I didn't see ICE, which is fab. I did go to the post office to mail all the orders from the Flash Sale. While there, because it's next door, I went to see the Paul McCartney photo exhibit at the Frist, again. Went more for installation details cuz I'm SO doing a similar thing w/ corners

going to museum downtown tomorrow & if I am disappeared cuz I don’t look exactly “American” by ICE standards (tho I was born in California/my USA-born father was a Federal agent for 50 years. i still carry my passport & birth certificate as precaution) JUST SAYING - shout out to me tomorrow night?
