~NEW EPISODE~ Forever Wars--Trump vs. the World. In our latest, we discuss the recent history of these long conflicts in a post-Cold War world, and how Trump is going against his own campaign promises (shocking, we know) to end them. 🎙️: bit.ly/4s1PusY

I wrote about Throwing Muses’ 1991 album ‘The Real Ramona,’ which became a backbone for ’90s “alternative” as it came to be known. I also took a dive into the origins of the band, particularly into a bike crash Kristin Hersh experienced at 16 and how it influenced her unconventional songwriting.

🗓️ 35th anniversary! (February 18, 1991) 💿 Throwing Muses - The Real Ramona 🎶 I'm counting backwards/ I'm losing track of/ Why I'm here/ And where I'm going #ThrowingMuses

After this interview, I told Conan that I’d traded “Hips and Makers” for my contractual freedom from Warner Brothers to escape the corporate demand for vapid product over real music. His response: “Never look back.” I never did. Thank you to all of you who came with me.

Part 2 with Dave Narcizo of @throwingmuses.bsky.social is finally up. I wanted to get this out sooner, but y’know life happens. I ran into some audio issues during editing, but I think I did ok salvaging/repairing where I could. Listen wherever you stream your podcasts: campsite.bio/tbws

"Populism"

Not usual at all to have @throwingmuses.bsky.social's Dave Narcizo as a guest in a podcast, so you should definitely check this out!

ICE in my neighborhood in East St Paul this morning. They have not drawn down. They are outside of a school.

I feel like it’s been a month since the last episode. A virus hit our entire household so we had to lay low for a bit. But, I’m finally back with a great guest. He is of course Dave Narcizo of @throwingmuses.bsky.social …all streaming links found here: caspianseal.substack.com/p/the-baseme...

Trump Defends Racist Video As Racist

It’s been almost a month since the last podcast episode. A virus temporarily took out our entire household so we had to lay low for a bit. But, the next ep. will be out shortly and I was immensely honored to have drummer/graphic artist, Dave Narcizo of @throwingmuses.bsky.social & Lakuna as my guest

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and the data center down the road causes power outages every couple days. But at least now I have an AI-based avatar to help me with my healthcare.

When Peter Attia’s son nearly died, he was in New York. His wife begged him to come home, but he stayed in New York to meet with Jeffrey Epstein. Over a period of years, well after Epstein was known to be a monster, Attia associated with him regularly, even expressing desire to visit the island.

A regular multivitamin? Pass Metformin? Pass Sex with a child? Peter Attia:

Peter Attia: telling me the only way to measure if im truly in Zone2 cardio is not heuristic heartbeat or breath but via an expensive lactate meter. Me walking thru magical Midtown Manhattan happy im probably at 119 bpm: shut up you pedofile!

The Peter Attia subreddit is not having a great time today

Ultimately Noam Chomsky was just another grifter, pretending to be Left Wing for clicks but collaborating with the Right. As so many do. Doesn't mean that lots of things he said weren't correct.

Huh. It’s almost like he’s a lying piece of shit running cover for his boss.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

The same stochastic terrorism Chaya Raichik employs to endanger teachers and nurses who provide services to LGBTQ+ children is being weaponized against anyone who stands up to ICE

As a strong civil libertarian, I have no problem with masked secret police entering homes without a warrant, detaining American citizens without cause, collecting biometric data about protesters without permission, or shooting protesters.

German prosecutors searched Deutsche Bank offices in Frankfurt and Berlin as part of a probe into suspected money laundering linked to past transactions, adding to a series of high-profile investigations involving the lender. www.occrp.org/en/news/germ...

'enshittification' is just privatisation.

Now that ICE has taken the extraordinary step of putting the men who murdered Alex Pretti on administrative leave, Democrats must respond by fully funding ICE.

Sadly, this looks like a good chunk of the headshots I get with various indie-rock mailouts about some rando who is releasing their 'ode to mirthful times' or some other such nonsense.

couldn’t hack it at ups. well time to be a nazi

Marcos Flores, bassist for Denver-based shoegaze band Summer of Peril, has been in ICE custody for over a month. Marcos must be released IMMEDIATELY and ICE must be abolished. Via Denver Westword

Noted piece of shit Dr Oz is in the area today making videos about Medical Fraud targeting our Armenian neighbors. This is not dissimilar to the playbook they ran in Minneapolis that led to the surge of federal forces and multiple murders. KYEO.

Dr Oz, who is a dual US/Turkish citizen, is using his position in HHS to fly to LA and attack Armenian businesses and accuse them of fraud I guess nobody in HHS considered that sending a Turk to attack Armenians was a bad look

"Using capacity they built over months of organizing, Healthcare workers intervened quickly to protect and ultimately free their patient from the clutches of federal secret police."

Tim Waltz Suggesting that ICE do night raids... naw WTH.

These ghouls are already speed running the "i was just following orders" defense

Our town’s library hosted a candlelight vigil in support of Minnesota. Nice to see this small gathering of solidarity earlier this evening.

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911! “I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-unloads

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

The 🆕 episode of my podcast, The Basements Were Stars is finally up! Had a good time chatting with my old friend, Eli Nowak of the bands/projects, Break to Broken and No Wake. Available now on most streaming platforms: campsite.bio/tbws

Minneapolis.

CNN graphics put the asterisk in the wrong place, it appears…

The Trump regime’s internal security enforcers murdered an American citizen in broad daylight. The regime is illegally blocking the release of evidence of Trump’s extensive collaboration with Epstein. They’re agitating for war with France and Germany. It’s completely insane anyone supports them.
