Crypto is spending heavily to oppose Democrat Juliana Stratton in her Illinois Senate primary tomorrow. They’ve shelled out $10M on attack ads against her, even though she has not been outspoken about crypto. Her endorsement from Gov Pritzker and Sen. Warren are likely drawing this opposition.

Cannot emphasize enough: if you don't want the crypto/techpawn Senator, you should vote for LG Stratton There are several other reasons for a progressive to favor her over Kelly. And a point or two Kelly has in her favor. But at this pt it's most important to guard against a downgrade from Durbin

So yeah this never happened

Happy 6th anniversary to the time Sarah Palin sang Baby Got Back on the Masked Singer and then the show changed to Trump's address to the nation about COVID.

We're tapping the strategic reserves of Ducks, the amphibious vehicles engineered in Wisconsin Dells, to transport oil around the blockage in the Strait of Hormuz

It's very unexpected that the low voice avantgarde lady from the scene here now has a kid and duo project with the high voice slowcore guy from my homestate scene

Robin Kelly needs to drop out and endorse Juliana Stratton before it's too late

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Friend of mine has a book out today that would interest a lot of people on here. An analysis of "extraterrestrial and interdimensional aliens in Black speculative media and culture" via the writings of Sun Ra, Octavia Butler and others: ohiostatepress.org/books/titles...

I'm supposed to get married this year but look around. How can I bring a wife into this world

Playing a one-time-only collaborative set tomorrow with this Wandelweiser adjacent composer from Minneapolis and some of my favorite locals. Come check it out!

Unconscionable. Congress needs to aggressively reassert its authority. Stop this illegal war from becoming even more deadly. Now we know it was likely a U.S. bomb that caused mass casualties at the girls' school in Iran. No more of our taxpayer dollars funding this savagery.

to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be

Caught up with the GQ article about American Football and my only thought is, imagine having to drink like No-Show Jones in order to perform twinklecore 💀

Pleased to announce a career transition as I take a role as Deputy Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. I look forward to working with whomever is named as Special Envoy.

It seems fairly clear that we are being subjected to a massive media blackout/disinformation campaign about what is actually happening in and around Iran right now, given that Iran is apparently still quite capable of launching drones and missiles.

Is there a compound noun in German denoting the desire for the world to just end already so we can move on with our lives?

I've probably gone to 500 jazz shows in Chicago and I've never heard of the Reader's reader poll winner for best jazz musician. I guess that's my bad (?)

I hope these families get hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements

ian miles cheong has passed away. while sheltering in a dubai mall, he became entangled in the teeth of an escalator, which shucked him like an ear of corn.

Vote for Stratton

Rather than perceive the genocide in Gaza as a warning to Israel & the US about the limits of their power & global forbearance for their crimes, they seem to have interpreted as a sign that they can now get away with anything

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Good enough post but why do this without Radigue who is so freshly gone

The more I read about Epstein, the more I read about every nasty fuck in the periphery of all of it, reinforces the idea that the “left” never claims power in America because you have to be psychotic and corrupt to the core to attain power in America in a way that is antithetical to the project

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Playing an improvised music gig on 3/8 that is highlighted in the local experimental music roundup by Levi D. "The boyz" and I will be laying down some laminal sounds at Constellation using amplified trumpet, wooden flute, clarinet, and sine waves.

Next president will have to rebuild the federal government while fighting a cadre of insane billionaires the whole way. The more bleak things get the more absurd it seems to consider electing some common weasel who wants to be president because he wants to be president
