just gonna put this here

Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist, has died at the age of 91.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Rapture! youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g?...

Years ago, around 2003-2007, I used to do outreach for Fenay community health center. We'd go out to gay clubs and hand out safer sex kits: condoms, lube, and information about getting tested and other health concerns like substance use.

Been a while since I listened to "Velvet Magic" by Devil's Witches, but I was craving it this morning. I don't see many people posting about this one-man band, but I love their thick, juicy riffs, the Mark Bolanesque vocals, their retro vibe. #heavypsych www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWhS...

"As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald."

By the way, Alicia Cordisco's new album "The Burden of I" is a banger, some of her best work, I think. @allieinchains.bsky.social

My listens this week. #metal

In a shocking on-air moment, a “Fox and Friends” co-host said homeless people suffering from mental health issues who refuse help should be killed

music.apple.com/gb/album/dea... #nowplaying #metalsky Just read that this album was released 18 years ago yesterday.💀💀💀

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

In other (*college rock*) news, the new Superchunk album is pretty damn good. Especially the first half. The second half loses momentum *slightly*, but overall is still pretty solid.

Going through my mother's stuff, I found this Tom Lehrer songbook, and the cover art goes pretty hard! (Art by Ronald Searle.)

Wait.... Hellraiser is not a children's special? Seems I've had it all wrong.

And for some of us who picked it up at their show, it's Yotuma's "The Final Void" is not UPCOMING, it's HERE and it's GOOD.

Yotuma on Thursday at O'Brien's in Allston. Any of my Boston friends going? obrienspubboston.com/show/yotuma-...

The old world is dying, and the new world is so fucking stupid dude

Nothing to see here. Just Tesla deactivating a Cybertruck in the middle of a freeway because the owner used HIS vehicle in a music video.

Fascinating online smoke map showing the fires and where the smoke is bad: firesmoke.ca/forecasts/cu...

This was posted by @docrussjackson.bsky.social in the other place. A good read, but chilling in its implications. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

And.... blocked. Way to be creepy and weird.

the seventh grader in me wants to high five whoever did this

I didn’t know rabbits liked trampolines, but then again…..

Last week's listens

Some fascinating gay history. getpocket.com/explore/item...

Gorgeous album.

My listens last week.

Any Boston peeps going to this?

Last week's listens.

1/ Ever received a random text or DM from a stranger looking to befriend you? Here's how a simple message could be a small piece of a global fraud machine that exploits some of the world's largest banks. THREAD 🧵

In case you were wondering how much stock to put in anything owned by Elon Musk.

A get-you-pumped-up song for the gym.

Happy 4th of July. 🍦

“I know two things for certain: This man is a hardcore religious fanatic who will destroy our way of life and also this man isn’t very religious at all and seems pretty comfortable with stuff.”

It’s amazing that it takes so many public meetings, environmental impact assessments, scientific studies to implement Everglades restoration, but they can just put up a concentration camp in the Everglades overnight.

Q: "A 75-year-old Cuban national died in lCE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years. Is there anything you can tell us about that?" Tom Homan: "People die in lCE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons."

So, this is how it turned out. That's about 41°C. Wild weather for the Boston area.

The forecast for tomorrow. Since I've lived in the Boston area, I don't think I've ever seen it this hot. At least it'll be lowish humidity.

Kinda cool hearing these guys' fresh takes on Bohemian Rhapsody. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-MI...

This came in the mail.

This came in the mail from Germany. Hell yeah, Daevar. Based.

Some bands had an unlistenable first EP, but have really come a long way since then.

At least **9,000** people are being vetted for transfer to Guantanamo, with transfers beginning as soon as TOMORROW, per internal documents obtained by @nahaltoosi.bsky.social

I wasn't aware that bleachers were a thing, but if I found out that someone was making their child consume bleach as a cure for autism, cancer or anything else, I'd call child protective services.

My listens last week. Shout out to the nation of Australia.

Another great album suggestion by @kmanriffs.bsky.social from Melbourne grindcore band, King Parrot. So much 'core energy, chaos, and badass attitude, plus vocals that kinda remind me a bit of Bon Scott. It fuckin' rules.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Seedy Jeezus, from Melbourne. Why does Australia have so many great heavy psych bands?

As a biologist, I think this is frickin scary. The drive for self preservation in AI is a huge problem. www.the-independent.com/tech/ai-safe...
