Donald Trump thinks if he says things “very strongly” he will get his way. Unfortunately he has a lifetime of experience that proves him correct. Once again, elite impunity is the number one threat to our wellbeing and survival.

sharon take: gender is part of the reason decarbonization is so hard

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”

We lost something when Ebert died. He was a critic-and he could be critical AF, but he was also a dude who just loved movies. Loving something often means you love the garbage as well as the gourmet. I feel like folks have forgotten that, today.

Happy Birthday Ornette Coleman and John Cale, two giant towers of music that shaped so much of my understanding of what could be.

A contrived “people” without a geography to justify it wants a homeland <—- that’s as dangerous as it gets.

I never really thought I’d be capable of wishing on anyone what I wish on this person

Cool, I'm gonna take over the local supermarket so I can get free food.

you don’t hate rich people enough

“Piracy is the most effective form of artistic distribution these days. So be it.” -Werner Herzog on NPR just now 🔥

Please don’t let George Russell win a championship

abolish is the moderate position.

These new generation F1 cars are just gorgeous.

Still very loud even tho the kid’s come home, now deep in the delay pedal bliss zone. #CDFriday

The house is totally empty, so Bardo Pond goes on really fucking loud #CDFriday

Arguing if Platner is a Nazi or not is a stalking horse for the argument over whether he's an idiot or not, and he is.

it's only a question of which destroys them first: Bostonians, or Boston

Nobody hates Americans more than Americans do

Congratulations DHS Secretary Stephen miller on continuing to be DHS Secretary

Getting unconfirmed Reports that the world is A vampire, dude

Cat Power is really good at singing, I tell you what. Not news, of course, but seeing her tonight for the first time since 1998, great to be reminded. Playing “The Greatest” so the whole set was very Muscle Shoals-y, band was pro as hell, but still had her whole weird vibe in the best way.

How to win in November

I think we should go back to only selling software on CD-ROM.

Weather could go ahead and stop happening plz

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

Hell yeah @wendyeyes.bsky.social

Happy 303 Day to all who celebrate

I never realized the lyrics in The Dead Flag Blues were about Dubai but now it makes so much sense.

THE MOOD HERE IS MUCH THE SAME

Step one: kill EV subsidies and fuel economy standards Step two: massively spike gas prices Step three: idk probably something good

More Songs About Buildings and Food track sheets, with 1 track per song usually devoted to "ENO"

I literally just finished “Starter Villain” by @scalzi.com a few minutes ago and fuck if this isn’t the most Scalzi-ass news item I’ve ever seen, except without being funny.

Mission of Burma is really really good music for these times, FYI

feeling compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason

Doesn't hurt that this is the best peanut butter, only one allowed in my house.

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

Happy release day to Shane Parish's Autechre Guitar! shaneparish.bandcamp.com/album/autech...

Wait, Britain has politics as well?? Christ, when will it end

it's not the issue of this story, but it is a transparent example of how the "cars are freedom" narrative is a complete farce. when the state controls your movement and can immobilize you on a whim, you are not free. car dependency is an arm of fascism for the car *IS* fascism and must be abolished.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

the entire pitch of Cuomo was that sure he's a loathsome sex pest but he has what it takes to stand up to Trump, and then the hot leftist starts every phone call with "what's up big dog" and gets Trump to do whatever he wants.

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

So many good liberals worked so hard to launder the anti-trans agenda, and none of them get to escape ownership of the open assault and eliminationist moves that were the clear next step.

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.
