Made you a replacement meme so you don’t have to do the Vince McMahon one anymore

Everyone is talking about Josaleigh Pollett’s performances on the Flightless Bird podcast! youtu.be/KSw9VYTvjaE?... @davidfarrier.com @brosaleigh.bsky.social

today on flightless bird podcast, our live show from salt lake city!

If we had guaranteed healthcare, and social housing, and UBI, there would be a lot fewer sex workers. But as long as there is dramatic income inequality equality and lack of a social safety net, porn/sexwork will be ubiquitous, because it’s what poor people have to sell.

We can talk the availability of porn. But the REAL social problem is: more people are turning to sex work to make a living because they can’t pay the bills any other way! And those people are in turn exploited by people who use porn as a way to reinforce the patriarchy. This is DELIBERATE strategy.

…and not a Rolling Stone list.

sludgy nasty drum machine punk and twee masterpieces, one man band budget rock and unhinged hardcore. another fantastic week for punk <3

teeter/totter: a see/saw benefit proceeds split between the PCRF + Immigrant Defense Network Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Awesome Snakes, Feeling Figures, Good Flying Birds, Judy and the Jerks, Twisted Teens, and a bunch of sick bands punk is for the children

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

New York can have pizza rat, we’ve got pizza squirrel here in Chicago.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

“There’s punk rock in the sawing, blistering rhythm guitar and country in the lead’s twanging ornaments, but balanced naturally, so you can’t see where the Ramones leave off and the Gun Club comes in,” says me about Twisted Teens. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/04/14/t...

Pretty frustrating that the New York Times is crediting AP with uncovering the existence of Aadam’s archive when I reported on it 15 months prior. chicagoreader.com/music/gossip...

DC: tomorrow is the first day of one of my favorite springtime events - the Franciscan Monastery Garden Guild plant sale! The FMGG grows vegetables year-round, and distributes them to local groups that serve the hungry. The plant sale is their main fundraiser. I’m going to pick up some seedlings

Yo Phillies. Look I know I know. BUT Pope Leo went to Villanova and that has to count for something and like this fallen Catholic would buy a Phillies Pope hat too just saying if you want my money….

My hometown and baseball team are calling me back Tuesday, August 11th 🙏🏻

Men get emotional about women sports,,, I just try do it in a positive way

When a great human being leaves this blue & green marble too soon - we feel it thru the weave of interconnection. If you’re in the U.S. call, text 988 - professional counselors 24/7 if you have no one else. #ripBoLueders - Austin from #Haywire said it so eloquently: www.reddit.com/r/Hardcore/s...

Good night, sweet prince

Thanks mom and dad #newprofilepicture

You asked for an audiobook, we brought you the author instead.😎 Thank you Geoff Bennett for stepping in and making this experience so real! ❤️

and here I thought Plastic Surgery Disasters was the title of a Dead Kennedys album.

fuck your desert island disc, I want to know your Guantanamo bay song. what song would the government use to torture you at a Black Site

Thank you @bandcamp.com for letting me write about STATION MODEL VIOLENCE in your weekly Essential Releases roundup!

Subhumans have always been the real deal!

Next weekend’s CY Fest lost several acts from the lineup after the punk festival’s organizer was accused of sexual misconduct. Last night he announced that he was handing over promotional responsibilities to someone else, but today headliners Subhumans dropped off too.

Their economic acumen is such that they are making $0 on these Steve Albini sessions that they just released. If you want to know how In On the Killtaker would have sounded with Steve at the panel then you'll need to help transform disadvantaged peoples' lives fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...

People forget that the average Minor Threat ticket was $2,735. That’s why they could afford the $5 fugazi ones.

I wish I could enjoy this photo, but I was playing basketball at that gym the next day and missed a free throw because the hoop was slightly bent. That was the end of my NBA dreams.

Brilliant album full of top songs that I bought on its release day and still regularly play. Here’s my UK vinyl version album and inner sleeve cover. #SLF #punk

"I love Boston, man… It's a town full of assholes. And I'm an asshole. And I like asshole towns.”

36 years ago today. Drove through a snowstorm from Chicago to Indiana skipping skool to see Ministry for the 2nd time (first was NYE at the RIV) on ‘The Mind is A Terrible Thing to Taste’ Slept in the ‘76 Pontiac Catalina after the show was over. Life altering. Here it is: youtu.be/O_hBtq-OGCw?...

Gary Gygax and Gabe Newell invented the Linux kernel while working at NeXT, named that because they enjoyed popcorn so much. Steve Jobs tricked them into giving it away for free by saying it was Opposite Day, but in the process invented the GPL license used later for wegovy.

So I kind of figured it’d be amazing to watch but man this really is different. She’s so relaxed. She’s visibly having so much fun. She’s not fighting for a medal here. She’s just playing her favorite game

Ray Manzarek with X Besides his work with The Doors, Manzarek produced the first four X albums. Sidestep -> Manzarek would have turned 87 the day before yesterday. #punk #punks #punkrock #oldschoolpunk #punklegends #x #xtheband #punkrockhistory

Hooky!!!

52 years ago February 9, 1974: Iggy Pop & The Stooges played their last concert at the Michigan Palace in Detroit. Pop taunted and insulted the audience throughout the entire show and was pelted with ice cubes, eggs, and beer bottles. The band broke up for the first time a few weeks later.

Age verification? I remember when airplanes had a haze of cigarette smoke in the cabin.
