"We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s," - another gem from Charlie Kirk. To be clear, I still believe the amount of shootings in the US is a huge issue that needs to be dealt with.

Fat chance in hell, but: if anyone has an extra ticket to Suede @ Southbank Centre 13/9 or 19/9, I will happily buy it & a merch item for ya! We can go our separate ways or I'll keep you company, I just want to see my dudes! #TheLondonSuede #Suede @themildonessuede.bsky.social @suedehq.bsky.social

Just like Joy Division (if Ian had less eyebrows and Bernard had more cake.)

Was shopping at Ralph's earlier and a SILVERCHAIR song played. All right, 2025, that wasn't on my bingo card, but I'm here for it.

THE STINKENING IS UPON US. One of the corpse flowers at The Huntington is getting ready to bloom! It's hard to nail down the exact day, but potentially some time this week? It only blooms and smells like hot garbage for 24 hours - keep an eye out and try to catch it if you're in the LA area!

Did you know that Ringo and Ozzy did a song together? Now you do. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶⁣⁣ 𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴 youtu.be/B7vbz9A4EBk?...

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Just sayin', The Colbert Report coming back would be the fuckin' tits; *especially* in our current political climate.

Hit the lights, bitches 🖕🏼

Wake up, Maggie, I got something fascist to say to you. By the way, Rod Stewart absolutely ripped off this dude (Jorge Ben Jor) for "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" Has to be taken to court for copyright infringement and he settled out of court. He can go fuck himself after he's done sucking off Farage.

First episode of Daredevil: Born Again had a Nick Cave AND early TV On The Radio track?! Hell yeah!! (I know it's been out for awhile - I'm finally letting myself catch up on shows since I'm taking summer off from programming classes and trying the whole "not overwhelming myself" thing for once.)

1 across for today's NYT mini is definitely not how that's spelled, and that's some bullshit.

Taking a break from doom and gloom to celebrate that THE OILERS LOSE THE CUP AGAIN! Get fucked, you greasy sore losing shits. GG Panthers - tomorrow you go back to being rivals, but it was great watching you beat Nurse's ass. 112 days until it's GKG time - Kings get the cup in 2026 🖤🤍.

"No god, no king I said love is the fing. No crown, no ring I said love is the fing."

Keeping America safe! From our own armed forces! When they're just going about their day! Great jorb, everyone! USA! USA!

Peterson is an insufferable cunt that loves to hear himself talk; changes goalposts & uses strawmen to obfuscate that he spouts bullshit to appear intellectual. Attempts to posit that people can't understand because he's more intelligent, when in reality, he knows he's not the smartest in the room.

This was from Game 5 but I was too grumpy to post it then. Go Kings Fucking Go! I still believe. 1st period energy is already looking better. DO IT FOR THE HARMONICA LADIES!! #LAKings #GKG

Woman Reminds Self Not To Catastrophize After Spotting 4 Skeletal Horsemen On Horizon

Kings clinch it in the last minute! The trolling on Skinner gave me life, absolute perfection. The energy in the arena tonight was insane. My voice is gone BUT I DON'T CARE, LET'S FUCKING GO BOYS! Also, Smash Mouth showed up and played the intermission, what in the world. #GKG #LAKings

GO KINGS GO! Beat these dirty goons! Big ups organ player for playing with Legend Of Zelda theme! #GKG #LAKings

Fight of the night between LA Kings and Edmonton Oilers. The fact that Clarke got a roughing penalty after that is bonkers. Foegele got one but Arvidsson didn't? Also, pretty sure dude tripped ON Kuemper, but ~whatever you say ref~ #GKG

Fucking DIRTY.

Hoooooly shit, Kings v Oilers is fucking WILD tonight. Edmonton resorting to headlocks cause they're getting their asses beat is gold. So many damn power plays. GO KINGS GO! #GKG

Happy Sci-Fi Lullabies Vol. 2 weekend, Suede friends 🖤 So many favourites releasing things this year; Stephen Hero, Suede, Tunde Adebimpe, Sparks, Pulp, The Hives. Every single one functioning like desperately needed life preservers whilst I try treading the waters of this bullshit year. 🪩

Cory @booker.senate.gov started his marathon speech on the Senate floor 6 hours ago and said he's going "as long as I'm physically able." Standing up and being vocal about how NONE OF THIS SHIT IS NORMAL. Elected officials, take note; more of this fucking energy needed. Live stream:

I know there's a plethora of massive issues to be concerned about right now in terms of our country and the world... But this is the second week I've been woken up at 7:04 in the goddamn morning by a fucking leaf blower on my street, and I'M PISSED ABOUT THAT TOO, DAMNIT.

New James Webb Space Telescope photo 🤤. At the tip is a distant spiral galaxy; the part that looks like a Cheeto is outflow from a protostar (they suspect.) '𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘶𝘵, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳.' - "Japan To Jupiter," KoD.

Got a deviated septum surgery yesterday (not code for nose job, sadly, but I *do* get to breathe soon.) This well-intentioned goon just full force headbutted straight into my fucking nose in an attempt to get forehead kisses. Iggy Flop, the one who's searching, searching to destroy.

All right, I find a lot funny, but getting a full on belly laugh out of me isn't super common; especially if I'm alone. This video got me fucking gasping for air. The eye contact, the spastic rattling of the gates (sound on, it makes it better,) the increasing panic. Slapstick perfection.

Came across another side project of Patrick Fitzgerald (Kitchens of Distinction): Oskar's Drum. About a minute into putting on the album Degenerate Art, it amped me up and breathed some energy into my overwhelmed brain. Give it a listen (deserves headphones) Shoegaze, dark wave, post punk tones.

The stakes are just too high.

Not watching that smoke and mirrors bullshit full of masturbatory hot air, and you don't have to either. Give me the cliff notes later if it's anything other than "everything is going to be great, I'm great, fascism is great!" Protect your mental well being, friends; we got a long road ahead.

In case you were wondering, the extinct dire wolf had a penis bone. This is what said penis bone looks like after being cleaned up from chillin' in a tar pit for tens of thousands of years. There's more than ancient dick bones at the La Brea Tar Pits, though, and it's neat as hell.

RIP George Lowe Your whole career was amazing, but it would've been legendary even if you'd only executed this line reading:

Tears for Fears released their album Songs from the Big Chair on this day 40 years ago.

Patrick Fitzgerald (singer/bassist of Kitchens of Distinction) does solo stuff under the pseudonym Stephen Hero - and he just released a new album, Convalesence! If you dig KoD, definitely give it a listen! If you don't know KoD, you should still give it a listen (and then listen to KoD.) 🖤

Chaotic good.

Welcome to today's episode of Shut The Fuck Up Friday! Check out this video for some tips from a local lawyer for those of you headed out to the streets to protest. You're a target of the state when you take action. NEVER talk to police & always STFU! Full video in thread👇

I know it's the NY times, so I shouldn't be surprised, but as an Angeleno, I'm a bit salty over an exclusion from today's Strands. #GKG Strands #349 “Ice packs” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵🔵

One of the openers for Rev Horton Heat tonight was Black Joe Lewis. Do yourself a favor and listen to some of his stuff. Dude has a great style of playing and the fucking *PIPES* on him. It ain't often I see an opening band that makes me audibly say "holy shit" - but HOLY SHIT, MAN.

As someone being suffocated by said overwhelm - this was a really nice read. "In this moment, what serves their interests is to overwhelm those of us inclined to fight for something better in the world — to the point that we either disconnect, revert to silos, or ignore what’s going on."

DEAR NYT GAMES, You absolutely know what you have done with all these red herrings for degenerates on today's Connections. Right into the trap, I fell. Straight in the gutter, where I belong.

You know how everyone is saying we have to wait and go through the judicial system despite everything being a very clear pathway to oligarchy? This is the *incredibly similar* feeling of what women go through trying to get a restraining order against an abuser.
