No lies detected. Incredible record.

this is literally never not accurate

Design vehicles to fit the streets rather than streets designed to fit the vehicles.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

If you see this post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Post you from a different era

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

going to a big experimental show at the fancy DIY house

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Bring back America's kei truck!

New awareness campaign

“Are we ready to fight for people we don’t know” is such an incredibly powerful statement, it’s the whole ballgame, so awesome to see someone say it so plainly.

I can’t emphasize enough right now that the millionaires tax in Massachusetts has allowed public schools to provide free lunch and breakfast for all students. We can take their money and do good things with it!

For real though, @chatpileband.bsky.social is a special band, resonating so much with life today while teaching the kids about Unwound, Slint, and The Jesus Lizard without ripping any of them off, Raygun is a generational talent frontman, and the A-tuned power trio is unstoppable, gut churning shit

Best part of seeing great shows is the total euphoria after: In the past month, Tara Clerkin Trio is the best band working today, Water From Your Eyes is the best band working today, Autechre is probably the best music ever made, Chat Pile is the best band working today, etc and it's all true.

Why do young liberals love Zohran Mamdani? We talked to 3 elderly Staten Island conservatives who can’t correctly say his name.

Last year I went to a great talk by @debcha.bsky.social about urban infrastructure accompanying a showing of Escape From New York (excellent pairing) and this slide stuck out to me so much. We can choose to help people, but this country repeatedly chooses to fill infrastructural holes with cops.

Food For Free is a Somerville HQ'd org doing innovative food security work in the region. If you donate to them, click "Dedicate this gift" and write "In honor of SPS families." Those funds will go towards FFF efforts to support the families of SPS students. secure.qgiv.com/for/foofofre/

Hundreds of Somerville families are set to be impacted by the SNAP shutdown. Every school in Somerville has put together a fundraiser in record time and are collecting grocery store gift cards and money to buy more gift cards. If you’re able to help, please pick up a couple gift cards...

I heard this once as "In a just world, only a few people are guilty, but everyone is *responsible*" and that has really stuck with me.

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

“So, poor houses are called accountability centers in the 21st c US” —incredibly heavy handed scifi writer and also our current government

Let's all keep pretending the forces behind this are just 'concerned parents with reasonable questions' rather than deranged bigots

If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

Excellent interview about one of my favorite CDs of the year here

If children who are not related to you do not call you “Aunt” or “Uncle” then you have no charisma and no light in your eyes.

one really degrading thing about living in america is being harangued about patriotism and the constitution by a bunch of misanthropes who Fucking Hate It Here

This is an excellent point. Zohran ran a textbook campaign that the centrists are always talking about, just talking about rent control and free buses and cost of living, and the centrist Dems tried to make it all about Israel/Palestine and other identity issues (his Muslim faith) to smear him.

Republicans: Our base is the best, they are the only true Americans, and our every policy position is red meat for them, and only them. Democrats: Our base is composed of losers and degenerates who deserve nothing, and we will craft policy proposals to make sure they know we think that.

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

This album, do yourself a favor and get deep in it today. RIP Jack DeJohnette.

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

I want a Democratic Party that will send these people to The Hague

Love when they have these!

This is the relevant resource for understanding the “stake driving” strategy. There’s very little about Trump, from the racism to the media manipulation to the cynical developer tactics, that isn’t explained by his experience in NYC real estate.

The reason the extremely wealthy can imagine living in space is that space is effectively where they already live. They go from remote site to remote site under heavy protection and behind tinted windows, completely disconnected from their surroundings. That’s basically space travel, every day.

architecture is like star wars: super cool on its own but it’s annoying when a nerds act like its real

landscape architecture is cooler than architecture because it’s like what if we came up with the idea of architecture but everyone could still kind of tell it was made up
