Incredible. These morons didn’t bother to secure the domain name…and this is what they get: www.trumpkennedycenter.org?fbclid=IwdGR...

I somehow missed this meeting of the broken minds, but this @theguardian.com piece about an insane conversation between Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson nearly broke MY brain. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thank you, Gavin! Check out their top ten list for 2025.

Coffin Prick from LA Bringing the 80s post-punk

Now Playing on Eardrum Buzz Radio: Push Button Village by Coffin Prick

The smear campaign against Mustapha Kharbouch -- falsely accused of the Brown shooting and MIT murder by powerful politicians, pundits and plutocrats -- is a prime example of how pervasive racism has become. It's also a story largely ignored by the mainstream media www.thenation.com/article/poli...

#BestOf2025: Ryan Weinstein (Coffin Prick) tells us why the new Repetition Repetition compilation was his favorite record of the year

I’m not one for year end lists, but was flattered when asked by Annie Fell at @talkhouse.bsky.social to come up with some words on a release I enjoyed in 2025. I chose a reissue/compilation of music by the fairly obscure Los Angeles group, Repetition Repetition. www.talkhouse.com/best-of-2025...

Rob Reiner and his wife’s death is very, very sad. People who contribute to the arts and humanities offer the world work that transcend time generationally. I just saw This Is Spinal Tap for the umpteenth time on the big screen for a reprieve from the daily madness. A full theatre laughing.

In our time, it's easy to shut your mind, driven by fear or misinformation. This year, NPR Music's pop critic found the antidote in music that encouraged exploring n.pr/494BlEe

This is truly incredible and appalling. Bennie Thompson asks the exact correct question…To which they cannot answer, obviously.

Bari Weiss/CBS News is holding a “Town Hall” with Erika Kirk. This is just all too goddamned stupid. This isn’t the “moment” (there are too many to pinpoint just one)… But we are so far over the edge it’s almost impossible to ever see anything returning to what passed as “normal” ever again.

NEW: A new congressional investigation prompted by ProPublica reporting has found that, contrary to the Trump administration’s claims, immigration agents have frequently detained and mistreated U.S. citizens. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Tennessee… youtu.be/mQwRnGRoMgA?...

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

Trump’s America is a deregulated nightmare pigpen overseen by a criminal terrorist regime.

Wrote a whole chapter on Van Dyke in my Proud Boys book — described him as the physical manifestation of a human hand grenade. Should be an interesting campaign. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/02/j...

If you’re Donald Trump or one of his supporters, you get to crime with impunity knowing that anyone who attempts to hold you accountable for your criming will be punished.

I despise these people in a way I hadn’t really considered.

I find @davidpakman.bsky.social ‘s insight here to be of value.

Why are our collective safeties and lives, and the lives of our families and loved ones being handed over to a cadre of sociopathic morons? youtu.be/r_9wkavYt4Y?...

George F. Will on this administration: “A moral slum” The best description I’ve read yet.

Frequently I’ll comment on something in someone’s thread here only to find myself feeling like it was a complete waste of mental energy to have done so hours later.

I’ve written it before, and I’ll write it again… The most dangerous immediate threat we face as a species is AI. One day Trump will be gone, Putin will be gone, etc.. These tech maniacs will kill us all in their quests for a perceived omnipotence. And I do not think that this is hyperbolic.

This is a parade of the horribles.

Also, this Coffin Prick album I wrote about last month is (finally!) out today:

Now Playing on Eardrum Buzz Radio: Theme From Other Peoples Lives by Coffin Prick

I think this must have been from my show with Melt Banana in San Jose a few weeks ago. Thanks for posting, @aldorado.bsky.social

There is an unceasing knot in my stomach concerning how unbelievably fucking terrible so much of the modern world has become, particularly post-Covid. I frequently feel that I’m living in some waking nightmare alternate reality that dug itself in overnight while we were sleeping.

So my book about Howard Zinn’s outsized life comes out August 2026. That’s now official. If you want me to come to your bookstore/library/community center/house party to talk about Zinn’s life and and what teaches us about how to beat back the bastards, please email [email protected]

"What we see on the street is just the tip of the iceberg. There's an entire world of homelessness that has been rendered invisible." Here's the YouTube link to my PBS News Weekend interview:

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

Why can’t these fuckheads just do something nice with their time on earth? It’s like, this dude is the richest guy on the fucking planet and he’s spending his time on X writing to little fuckwits he doesn’t know about the benefit of hypothetically hanging people to death. It’s just pathetic.

If I wanted to speed run a dystopian dark age, I would: - close public libraries - enshittify the internet to the point of unusability - end childhood vaccinations - reserve healthcare for the rich - cut humanities programs at universities - pour the nation's wealth into AI companies ODDLY ENOUGH

MAGA wants you, my friends, to be stupid, poor, and physically unwell. www.newsweek.com/full-list-de...

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

From the summer www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Nearly everything you think you know about Riley Gaines is a lie or an exaggeration or both. Incredible work from @msjpauly.bsky.social and PTFO crew.

private equity buys a company and immediately starts torturing their employees and the money

You know who we don’t hear from these days? The man who did not accept any bribes…Ol’ Mushmouth himself, Tommy “Bag O’ Bucks” Homan.

Twisted. And bizarrely reaffirming that the “very aggrieved” MAGA freaks really are grasping at straws on nearly every state. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/van...

What the fuck could anyone publicly state they would be disappointed in about the release of files exposing a pedophile’s sex trafficking ring to the public unless you thought its release would effect you profoundly? These people are demented.

WATCH: Speaker Johnson says he’s “deeply disappointed” the senate passed a bill he voted for 🤔 @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Johnson looks frazzled. He’s lost it, attacking a bill the survivors wanted without talking to them… that he voted for. He has lost the confidence of half his caucus.”

Thank you to my friends Melt Banana for inviting me along to play some shows on their US tour. I’m constantly in awe of them. And feel the same for my excellent band. Sad to see it end.

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign. We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefited from the deal.

Once again, the Democrat establishment has gravely failed to meet the moment.
