I hope A. J. Daulerio is having a great day

Some curated tunes for your weekend from myself and @ed209.bsky.social Stay safe out there, buds.

@ed209.bsky.social is out this week, so this is roughly what the inside of my brain sounds like

Worth keeping this man in mind as Trump fawns over the Saudis who ordered his death

"fully operational mobile McDonald’s unit" is a phrase that makes me feel like maybe i've passed away and all the news i read is all just the final neurons in my brain racing around making haphazard connections in the moments before darkness

your child will toil valiantly in the factory. it will be masculine. it will restore our national character. it will make america great again. oh my child? my child will run a lucrative rightwing podcast

Immaculate handpicked vibes from @ed209.bsky.social and myself to enhance your weekend. Set your crossfade to 2 seconds to really {{{feel}}} it

What in the actual fuck?!?! abcnews.go.com/US/judge-han...

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

"I'm a creep I'm a weirdo" well then shut the fuck up I don't want to listen to a song by a weirdo

Peter Marks was a really smart and capable leader, and an incredibly thoughtful regulator. This is terrible news for the industries who work with this center and even worse news for the American public. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

I guess with all the other open-air graft going on it's easy to overlook, but the U.S. Commerce Secretary using his official position to go on cable news to tell people to buy the stock of his boss's largest campaign donor is just astonishingly corrupt.

I tested it, because it seemed so craven, grotesque, and absurd, but if you put in the original URL it changes to the "DEI" version automatically. www.defense.gov/News/Feature...

Good morning to everyone who regrets ever carrying water for the mealy-mouthed toadies who run the Democratic Party.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Happy 30th to King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime, an album that is perfect because they just took everything we love about Angel Dust - already a pretty maximalist album - and somehow turned it up even higher.

“democrats are fighting” lol

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

She’s the party leader by default

Hi, are you doomscrolling? How about going to bed early instead?

just reupping this, on the Oscar-winning movie about how life under authoritarianism can feel almost normal until people start getting disappeared.

Sort of uncanny how well our choices vibe here even though we do practically no coordination

Gonna get wayyyyy over my ski's here, but I feel like two of the albums @ed209.bsky.social and I are discussing on this edition of Discologist are going to end up on a lot of year-end best of lists.

The next step is HS graduation speakers and college frats. Get ready!

no offense but ive been dealing with death threats for a decade and these guys are fuckin pussies

How do you link a government official to an anonymous social media account that asserts, among other things, that "America is a White nation?" Like this. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

holy god apnews.com/article/bols...

This is exactly the point. Keeping your job in this hollowed-out corrupt DoJ, basically Donald Trump’s personal grievance firm, is useless. It’s like saying “if I refuse to strangle this puppy I might lose my job in the puppy-strangling factory!”

Yeah this might be the answer re: Adams. MAGA would LOVE to blame a Black mayor of New York for “ruining” the city but they love pissing off liberals even more.

The CHAMPIONS and ONLY TRUE DEFENDERS of women’s sports did WHAT?

“Fraternally, Francis”

if you work at OSHA or the Department of Labor and wanna share a tip about what’s happening with a friendly labor reporter, I will protect your privacy and am ALL ears I’m on Signal (kimkelly.666) and you can email me securely at [email protected]‬

I’m in this small FB group to talk about politics and just learned that someone in the group played on Mr Bungle’s California album and I had no idea that “yeah I played on that Mr Bungle album” was something a person could say.

What's old is new again! New season of @ed209.bsky.social and I's Discologist kicks off today with a new theme, new-ish format, and a ton of music that we think you need to hear.

This is awesome. From a custom knife forging shop in Edom, Texas.

much like last year’s chalkdust, the bubbly effects on this Piper were so frivolous but somehow so necessary

Guy who spent the past four years feverishly scanning government websites so he could blame every fire, earthquake, bridge collapse, and hurricane on the closest nearby woman/black person/gay person so he could call them a DEI hire: look now is not the time for blame.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

It’s a mark of the stupidity of this timeline that health agencies aren’t able to communicate the actions they’re taking to meet the regulatory freeze or even meet with stakeholders to communicate the same because they are also under a gag order.

It is once again time for the Discologist Annual Fundraiser. If you love the work that myself and @ed209.bsky.social do, then this is a no-brainer. But if you still need convincing, check out the thread below. P.S. @darthbluesky.bsky.social I will write a song for/about you if you amplify this 😎

This is a profoundly important point. It’s one thing to do wrong believing you are right. That is an error in reasoning, to which we’re all liable. What’s really damnable is simply not caring whether what you’re doing is right. And that distinguishes Trump & MAGA from traditional conservatives.

I suspect there’s gonna be a lot of shit like the Nazi salute in the months ahead precisely because they can deliver on so little of the actual substantial stuff they promised the hogs, so they’ll assuage them with lib-triggering instead

My parents wanted me to understand that violence in movies should have a purpose and they told me about a spectacular movie where a kid finds an ear in a field and that’s how I watched Blue Velvet when I was 12, and that, as they say, has made all the difference

just started having recency bias and i love it. easily the best bias
