the Billy/Mickey disrespect of still being alive to carry some form of the torch is wild, but I kind of get it because neither of them are singers and Bobby was the last "voice" of the dead legacy

This is so insightful and really the ballgame with the Fed argument later this month. Does Roberts view Trump as a *liability* to the long term Republican project, at least w/r/t the Fed.

Y'all should probably hop on @carynrose.bsky.social new Patti Smith tour diary jukeboxgraduate.com/new-book-thr...

We're back baby! #primal Season 3 is a go. Y'all should be watching.

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." 🙏🏼 @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Systemic erasure of @sotreu.blacksky.app's work and legacy in regards to #YourSlipIsShowing is violence. Plain and simple. He deserves answers here

Woof

hey @postopinions.bsky.social i'm part of the american public and I am on the side of trans athletes.

Besides Phish + side projects and Springsteen, the band I've seen the most is The Dead & off-shoots w/ any number of original members. Never saw Jerry, got to meet Phil, & almost met Bob, but it fell through. A giant void is left in their absence and there will never be anything like The Dead again.

As seen on socials and apparently heard on the SXM Dead channel tonight: “The last song Jerry ever played was a Phil song. The last song Phil ever played was a Bobby song. The last song Bobby ever played was a Jerry song.” Just wow

Look, you may think the Mail is probably exaggerating but the news side of Telegraph is legit: if Euros are considering this, there's smoke

What a sniveling little piece of trash. Amazing how quickly leaders revert to the same old same old.

Bahahha this fucking loser

Bob Weir's death being announced right at the onset of another Saturday night, I'm sure, would not have been what he wanted if he could've helped it.

I am once again asking you to cancel your Prime account It is literally the least you can do

Man 😭😭😭😭

“Imagine calling yourselves the ‘master race’ but forgetting to secure your own website — maybe try mastering to host WordPress before world domination” 🤣

old white dems meeting the moment just as we thought they would: stating be peaceful despite your friends and neighbors literally being killed

10 very long years without the starman

And @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social SUCKS. Unbelievable. Leave your constituents alone and just go after the folks literally killing people in the city. Absolute loser mentality.

The Always Sunny season 13 clip show is just brilliant. Flipping it on its head is just a chef's kiss.

stop what you're doing and let Amber Glenn take you to church #USPrevagenChamps #figureskating

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

you literally love to see it

I guess I'll get going on a cool music I've listened to this year. Haven't done it for a few years, but I'll keep updating this as I go. It's from any year, not just this one. Whatever I happen to find I find. Hope y'all enjoy. Links will be bandcamp or Tidal.

Little marathon run log and fundraiser update. Link again for those who may want to share/donate - www.givengain.com/project/brya.... There's obviously way more important shit going on, but I gotta keep going with this. Thanks y'all ✌️

Once again asking writers to not use substack. I want to give you money to read your articles. But substack is a nazi bar, so.....

For my weekly music thoughts, as ever free to all to read: perhaps inevitable. But really, how could I not? Thinking back to the weekend I heard an amazing album for what turned out to be the only time, made by someone who walked by me on a bus once. #DavidBowie

“make big tech afraid” has to be just as much of a priority as “prosecute the criminals of the previous regime” for the next Dem admin the tech fascists are way too far out over their skis and what remains of global stability will not survive that state of affairs continuing

Rep. Wesley Hunt (TX-R): "The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep you life" The Right went from Don't Tread on Me to Comply or Die in 12 months.

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.

the joy of this clip isn't just the merciless Springsteen and Bolan parodies, it's that Bowie, even joking around, writes a catchy song! "when the fires broke out on the Rio Grande" has stuck in my head ever since I first heard it

A fun thing about this quote is that this person is stupid enough to think you couldn’t say pussy when Biden was president. I recall that being widely used and accepted, for instance, in on the record descriptions of people like this banker

Thank you @massgovernor.bsky.social for your proactive leadership. While Trump and Republicans rip away healthcare from millions, this action will save lives and help keep healthcare affordable for families in Massachusetts. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/08/m...

This is what’s maddening to me. This is not the first time they’ve killed someone, but somehow it rates national attention because she’s a white soccer mom? These victims *all* rate national attention, the gestapo is fucking murdering and kidnapping people in broad daylight. I hate it here.

Where are all the good guys with guns? The people who have spent the last 50 years telling us that we had to make sure every American has a gun in case we needed them to protect ourselves from tyranny? And where are the stories to point this out (they may be there; I just don't know)?

Doing my ★ 10 year vinyl anniversary listen. I remember I got the vinyl earlier in the week and said no I'll hold off until the actual release date. Spun it once and was just floored. It's such a beautiful piece of art. Little did we know what would take place 2 days later. #bowie

Names aren't classified, publishing a government higher-up's name is not "doxxing," and journalists are entitled to publish news, even if it is classified, as long as they don't break the law to get it. It's not the press's job to keep the government's secrets.

#divorcegate holds way more water than #conformitygate bc that has at least historical precedent. Looking at you, F. Scott Fitzgerald

The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.) (Video from @AmirMiresmaeili on Twitter)

Their mandate is to murder

My latest newsletter: Revisiting David Bowie's final album Blackstar on the tenth anniversary of its release

Seeing lots of posts about Bowie being gone 10 years today....but today would have been his 79th bday, he died on January 10th

For David Bowie's birthday, I wrote a piece on the 40th anniversary of his collaboration with Jim Henson, the bonkers classic LABYRINTH. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/08/a...

Bahahah, fuck these Dems for voting for anything for this administration. With people "on our side" like this, who needs enemies.

People mag

was asked a question about photography and have realized I have peaked already today when this was my answer: "I'd research best lenses for worm photography"

This dude can, and I cannot say this loudly enough, FUCK OFF FOREVER
