I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

How in the hell have I lost *2* pairs of good concert earbuds after 3 of the last shows I’ve gone to?

Found out from a coworker that our UHC health insurance plan isn’t covering either the Covid or flu vaccines for us this year. What in the actual fuck are we doing?!

Liquid Mike hive, we ride!!!

Nobody who voted to confirm RFK is fit to hold public office

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

why do the guys who buy into race science that tells them they're preordained by genetics to rule the world always turn out to look like they were incubated in a jar

Bringing the heat on the first one from LP2

Been listening to this gem from Fortitude Valley all weekend. Definitely an Album of the Year candidate for me

HUGE: The Trump administration will no longer permit any solar or wind projects on federal lands unless they produce more energy-per-acre than coal, gas or nuclear power plants. Solar and wind literally produce less energy per acre, so simply this may just kill off any project on federal lands.

Bad Moves said goodbye at the Black Cat on Saturday. Contributor Taylor Ruckle looks back at the D.C. pop-power band’s legacy as they pass the torch to the scene they love—and that loves them back.

South Park's Matt Stone and Trey Parker are storytelling geniuses! I highlight their remarkably simple but effective "but/therefore rule" in every science communication lecture I give.

Truly epic move by Matt and Trey to give a huge fuck you to Paramount and Trump in the latest South Park. Anyone know where to watch the whole episode for free? I’m also half expecting pt 2 of this to play out similarly to Stephen Fry’s end in “V for Vendetta” - with the disappearing and killing

Happy Gotcha Day to our good boi, Gandalf!! Can’t believe it’s been a year since we foster failed (though we kinda knew from day 1 we wanted to keep him). Gandy had surgery last month to remove a growth (that we knew about last year), which thankfully was nothing serious. We love you buddy!!

Just found out about The Shivvers, but hot damn I love this. Fantastic power pop

Yep, my pets need gromming

New song at midnight

3 words: Bad Moves forever!!

NPR and PBS can't sell these shirts for legal reasons, so I'm going rogue and selling them myself. $8 per shirt goes to NPR and PBS. Free matching sticker with every order. www.harebraineddesign.com

I am really happy that I snagged a copy of this after forgetting to set a reminder on my phone (got the New Moon one). Hey Arnold! was one of my fave Nickelodeon shows growing up, and the music from Jim Lang is arguably got me - and likely many others - into jazz

Another home run from Teen Girl Scientist Monthly 🤘now we just need it on Apple Music

Tuesday, July 1. ☠️

You love to see it

When it broke that Mamdani won the primary, my mind went straight to The Menzingers for the victory song: “But damn it feels good when the good guys win”

Holy fuck, not only does this bus not have AC in this 95 degree heat at 8 pm, it also feels like the heat is on. Pretty much me right now

If you are trying to sign up for an annual eye exam in the same month as your last one, the insurance provider should let you do it, even if you’re technically 2 weeks early

Nun at the ATM getting that sweet nun money. Probably going to blow it all on her habit.

Forgot how great this absolute gem of an album is. Fantastic guitar and drum tones, tasteful horns on a few songs, and solid production. It’s always a joy to “rediscover” it after not visiting for awhile

Everybody dismissive of the Hold Steady is an idiot who doesn’t understand Rock Music.

I’ve been a fan of this track for quite some time, and yet this song feels even more relevant today in light of that BS from SCOTUS

I’m so done with the Stanley Cup going to a team in a state that is run by DeSantis

Can Edmonton play some GD disciplined hockey for once and not take penalties? Friggin ridiculous- they haven’t looked like serious contenders for several periods

Appreciate the little things in life: like a good pumpernickel bagel (not toasted) with lox scallion cream cheese to start the day

Just saw the news that Marc Maron is ending WTF. Although I was never able to be a regular What The Fucker, I did enjoy listening to his podcast periodically throughout the years. Cheers to a solid run

I was definitely not a fan of the glowing puck, but it was really cool to see how something that didn’t quite work in 1 sport could (and did) be implemented in a useful way

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

I did not expect Carolina to blow that 2 goal lead, and yet also knew Florida was going to move on

A bit bummed that I seemed to have misplaced the earplugs I use for jamming and going to concerts. Just bought a replacement pair, but damn- it sucks

I am finally going to take a stab at building an actual pedalboard. I’ve always run a very minimal 2-3 pedal setup, but it feels like its time to make a formal setup

Carolina looks like absolute garbage

Full disclosure: I was up at the wee hours past midnight helping my very good friend Eric through this bill after he flagged the language for me. If you want to support the only journalist who was up late last night asking lawmakers about trans Americans, PLEASE share this story.

Watching the Knicks squander away their lead

Not gonna lie, I love watching the Leafs really Leaf it up

Hoping for Winnipeg to win, and for tonight’s score to remain 1-0 because Scheifele getting the game winner feels like an instant classic playoff hockey story

The @dimwizzy.bsky.social rock experience is not to be missed

It’s gonna be a *BIG* night @jimmymontague69.bsky.social @petsymmetry.bsky.social

Liquid Mike Music t.co/MI9tFwec1r

With the SoundCloud AI garbage that just came out, anyone have a good alternative where you can upload rough demos/WIPs?

Is there a podcast or YouTube series where bands talk about the gear used on songs/albums when recording? Something similar to rig rundown. I would love to hear about the gear and/or settings used to capture what I’m hearing

Weathers getting warmer, which means it’s time to get back on the Liquid Mike kick
