Never mind organizing my workplace, I have completely failed at even conveying to my co-workers why Boss' Day is not a real thing that you should take part in. At least they stopped asking me to contribute.

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

Fucking say something about Portland and Memphis, please, even if you don’t hold the levers of power you can say words

Wait so, Jimmy Kimmel was the one who got fired because of Trump? I thought we were talking about Jimmy Fallon. Maybe they’re the same person in my head. I’m just gonna keep it that way. Carry on.

New research published in The Lancet finds that Western unilateral sanctions have caused 38 million deaths since 1970. The average death toll ranges from 400,000 to over 1 million per year. Staggering levels of violence. This system is intolerable and must be replaced.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

JD Vance is doing the Reichstag Fire the right way. by Ezra Klein

What an unhinged country the US is.

It feels like the Times shifted hard into “actually we will determine reality” mode after 10/7 and never came back. Luigi shit, mayor’s race, now this. Reporting from a world that doesn’t exist, for no one.

I’m Afraid of Americans hit so hard tonight

Many of my homies have been saying Fuck Ezra Klein for a while now.

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

The most amazing and unexpected thing happened today. I will always remember this day fondly. Armand Hammer + The Alchemist announced their 2nd collaborative album! (RM Brown C Kirk sample "Praise God!".mp3)

You'd think every Democratic candidate in NYC would be falling over themselves to embrace BDS and call for an arms embargo. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/n...

Just glanced at the comments of the announcement of the Taylor Lorenz episode of the Adam Friedland show. And I cannot think of anything lamer than being the guy who wakes up and is like, "Time to get into the comments section and defend the honor of the great news bro David Pakman."

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

oh my god they're actually doing it

Spouse bought a Jimmy Buffett lp a while back. I had to admit that the songs that weren’t Marg-vile and Cheeseburger were solid. Made me think the dude caught a bad rap just because he prefigured the Mac Demarco/good vibes only sound by about 40 years.

Sitting across from the venue, eating a po boy on the patio watching kids line up for the Swans show. Kristoff walks past and waves at them. Radio played Sheryl Crow ‘If it makes You Happy’. Total jam. Sometimes life is ok.

When I read LeGuin it is very clear that the process of making something is far more important than the final product. It's way closer to Buddhism than capitalism.

Going to see Swans and Nine Inch Nails this week. It's a big week in the Dallas area for Gen-Xers with depressive disorders.

kind of insane to me that these were both made by trumps team

Newsom is a complete waste of space. His all caps shtick is a hollow act. He loves to make nice with fascists and has the same politics as Greg Abbott on trans rights.

#ICYMI The Democratic Party keeps fighting their voters and activists harder than Trump and MAGA

The scale of what China is doing is almost unimaginable

I have officially reached the part of summer in which I just can’t anymore. Finished work. Gonna go lay down.

Imperial boomarang shit

US Chattel Slavery cannot be *overemphasized* That's the thing about world historical violence.

Woke has really gone too far now

The great narrator Elephant Graveyard has returned with an epic update on our dystopian comedy doomsday cult. No Free Will. youtu.be/ewvRS3NwIlQ?...

They won't push Newsom on us if we relentlessly trash the ever loving fuck out of him now while stanning Democrats who ARE doing things to fight fascism to the point that it was difficult to search up for this Rashida Tlaib video that is SIX DAYS OLD bc no one is reporting on her DSA keynote speech

I remember, like, 13 years ago, my spouse said I should not use "female" as the subject in a sentence as it was misogynist. I thought that was dumb at first and argued. After losing the argument, I eventually accepted. Now anytime I see female used as noun, it's always the worst people ever.

Man, don’t repost pro-Gavin Newsome stuff on my timeline. Have some dignity and self respect, will you?

I loved the movie Rush (1991) when it came out. Watched part of it last night, and it really doesn't hold up. It's a war on drugs copaganda film in which a narc exploits a young woman's lack of work experience to put her in danger and get her into bed. Jen Jason Leigh does Jodie Foster impersonation

But man, you just know those Colorado hippies are vibing out hard to this double didgeridoo action.

King Stringway starting up their Field of Vision set. Watching the stream because I missed their set in Austin. It took so long to get to the venue that I missed all of it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNwr...

Let me stop you at "Zionist summer camp" as a way to prime kids for being hugely afraid in general

Not only is Clark the second most powerful House Democrat, her photo is also featured on AIPAC's website, with the caption: "We stand with those who stand with Israel." And now Clark just admitted Israel is committing genocide.

Read some of the Thor Harris/Sultan Room discourse on IG. My hot take is that drawing 46 people in the year 2025 is good, actually, and that an $850 venue/production fee is too high to charge a small touring band. Can we get that added to the Zohran platform?

The real crime of socialism is that I spent 4 days in Chicago and had no time to go to a record store.

Them”what type of music does your band play?” Me: “it’s kind of difficult to describe”

2015: googling musicians you find on Bandcamp to be sure there's nothing sketchy going on with their politics. 2025: googling musicians you find on Bandcamp to be sure that "lost" obscure music is actually made by real people and not some AI-generated sounds for profit.
