I'd say it's answering questions. Then again, I don't get paid to pretend I'm an idiot, so

The reason the left has to hold their candidates accountable for things like rape and SA while the right doesn’t is that we’re the good guys and they’re the bad guys. Unfortunately it’s that simple. If u don’t like it be a republican

A military band plays Stars and Stripes Forever, followed by the national anthem, military flyovers merge with fireworks and loud electric guitar riffs and I have never been more confident that this country has always been ruled by scabs, fools, and bastards…

You’ve massacred your last Brian Jonestown

Appalachia is not — and has NEVER been — an exclusively white region. Happy Juneteenth, from Appalshop.

Don't understand how backcountry skiing fits in with all the weirdo stuff here

I’m hearing the deal’s getting blown up over a shitty pundit trade mix-up. Iran thought they were getting David Brooks, but the Americans understood the exchange to involve Arthur Brooks. Back to the drawing board.

A 40% pay increase, the right to walk off the job if federal agents (i.e. CBP/ICE) pose a threat to them *and* the contract expires in April 2028 so they can demand more ahead of the Olympics. Shoutout Local 11, shoutout unions.

Delightful

@merriam-webster.com Quordle question here. Can you tell me why certain countries are acceptable answers, eg Tonga, while others, eg Gabon, are not? Just curious. Love the game!

I know I've used this analogy before, but I think it's completely appropriate and accurate: Imagine a member of Congress saying "Left-handedness has no place in America." Imagine how ridiculous that would sound. And yet he can say this about an innate aspect of the identity of millions of people.

It is right to shame google for this nonsense, but please know you don’t actually have to use it. It takes just a minute to change your default search engine to duck duck go and turn off all that site’s AI functions.

Good on LITA. This is the kind of response a reputation-based company needs to have when it fucks up.

Something many people do not know is that (in many states), the grand jury has the power to investigate and indict individuals even when not presented with an indictment by the prosecutor. So, if you have some powerful scofflaw avoiding justice in your jurisdiction, you may have some recourse.

This Day in Labor History: May 19, 1920. The Matewan Massacre took place in the small town of Matewan, West Virginia. Let's talk about this key moment of the West Virginia Mine Wars, made famous by the great John Sayles film!

Slightly increase a band !!!!

Overall pretty questionable, but the Fender™️ fender rules

“Anything Could Happen” by The Clean B/w “Nothing’s Going to Happen” by Tall Dwafs

@chopaganda.bsky.social Shots fired

New single from the album that’s fixin to be my summer jam

The new single “Next Thing” from Styrofoam Winos blends hard-bitten strums with the soft cry of steel. A heavy sigh sits at the heart of the song, but the band manages to mold it into an upbeat rumble that’s perfect for double-window-down breezes and rumination. bit.ly/42sZsYZ

Ambient pedal steel hive take note

I think part of the reason the Pope thing is hitting so much is that modern life is so devoid of *any* morality, any system of right and wrong that is not completely hollow and fraudulent, which hits as halfway sensible and opposed to Trump and those like him, feels absolutely revolutionary

I approve this message

The Bobby Digital album is absolutely full of them, but off the top of my head: “Yo girl you shinin like a brand new spankin black glock or a thousand hundred dollar bills inside a shoebox”

Weir everywhere

One of the best bands going these days

Would love to see these dudes again

Apparently more people need to get into early Hawkwind

One would think that the already very wealthy people making many millions of dollars in profits on the World Cup might be seen as a potential source of funds to cover these costs. But no, only ever the taxpayer or the consumer.

I hope that just once in my life I have the opportunity and the wherewithal to deliver a line as cold as "Go hide somewhere, keep your eyes closed, your mouth shut, and live off the rain and the dirt." JFC

Highest possible recommendation for this book. If you have any interest in the subject matter, you'll love it. Manages to transform exhaustive research into an entertaining, interwoven narrative of psychedelic culture.

I lost count by then end, but the judge here used close to 20 exclamation points in tearing apart the govt's arguments, including multiple instances of "Please!" Never seen that before. I cannot fathom how utterly humiliating it must be to be a DOJ attorney right now. Just debasing themselves daily.

Just 100% refusal to play any game he doesn't want to play. You have to love it.
