Happy Columbo’s Day

This is staggering. Dismantling the right wing propaganda machine is imo one of the biggest and most vital obstacles to the future of this country.

This cartoon by artist Frank Ape grounded me today #artmatters

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

Williams was a photographer for Jet magazine. He took the photo himself. The OG selfie. Iconic. Orangeburg, South Carolina, 1956

i think lou reed would have really liked sabrina carpenter

Please, please listen to me: MAGA world has a lot of money to pay "researchers" to trawl niche social media sites like this one, and take posts that will provoke enormous outrage and plaster them across multiple platforms. Please think about what you're posting before you hit "Post"

This wouldn't just ban federal funds from directly funding gender-affirming care, it would be an effective ban on ANY facility that receives ANY federal funding for ANY reason from providing gender-affirming care. It's a de-facto ban. Call your congressmen.

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Anyone who has researched film from the 1930s and 1940s knows the mantra of the Classic Hollywood Director was "May we come in on time and under budget and in the future be projected on the inside of a giant sphere in Las Vegas"

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

When it’s dark and you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, I find that it helps to talk with local organizers. They often have good perspective on things and can offer concrete actions you can take to help. If you don’t know any local organizers, this is a great time to connect

posting this bc if I see one more doomer take im going to kill someone with hammers

I really struck a nerve here. I stand by what I said.

Cotton Crown by The Tubs deserves more love.

it's pride, if u want to listen to a queer woman work her way through spaces both physical and ephemeral in diaristic and formalist modes, a reminder to check out my album 🫶

I wrote about that strange concept we call time Read: oldfilmsflicker.substack.com/p/id-save-ev...

I'm going to be real. Don't ever subscribe to the notion of "We're all doomed." over real world events, despite how reasonable it seems to do so. You aren't doomed until you're dead or dying. Don't fall into that hole. Be the smallest amount of positivity that some people are needing right now.

We have many of these bands in America! Ceremony! Mannequin Pussy! Protomartyr! War on Women! I think Titus Andronicus fits here. Spiritual Cramp is moving this way. They exist!

We are proud to say @liberationwknd.bsky.social helped make this direct action happen, providing funds for travel, lodging, jail support and more. We will be proudly raising money for GLM next year too, but please don’t wait that long to donate to them. They deserve your support.

Today @genderlib.com and activist volunteers took HRT in front of the Supreme Court and then occupied the street in front of the building. This was in defiance and dissent against Skrmetti, a demonic SCOTUS ruling that will kill so, so many trans people. Please do not avert your eyes.

Hey, you guys like weird 60's music? Well, check out Lyzette G's latest video, in which they feature some of the most head-scratching things 1964 ever gave us. Subscribe to their channel if you haven't, they run a very good channel! youtu.be/C-UmFqGixds?...

The homie @lyzetteg.bsky.social has a new video out and it’s on the worst songs of 1964, and I always love when people cover rarely-covered vibes and times, and they’re always great anyway, check it out!! youtu.be/C-UmFqGixds?...

yep! unpaywalled:

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

this song is just a collection of good music cheat codes but MY GOD does it work open.spotify.com/track/7yIyR2...
