It was amazing what you could get for free off food and drink packets in the 1970s. Ken Boothe's amazing version of Syl Johnson's Is It Because I'm Black was given away by Nutrament... youtu.be/VuU2k-7G2Vc?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #vinyl #musicsky #kenboothe

I snorted cocaine off a mirror like a regular person and then after about six weeks of occasional use I realized this shit is big fucking trouble and I never did it again and then I turned twenty years old

See something, post something

Lots of emotions and questions following Homan's announcement. But the thing I keep coming back to is this: We cannot go back. We must take this moment, reflect on the power we discovered, and build a city that is stronger, more caring, and more connected. A city that can do this can do anything.

This looks pretty solid, thanks again for doing the awesome work in the burg, Vern Dylan! eauxclaires.com

My buddy's dad took a bunch of us to Time Bandits (1981) one afternoon, which remains an all-time favorite to this day. Also, our parents took me and @shinybabies.bsky.social to Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) on New Year's Eve cuz they "thought it was important for us to see it"; I was 9, she was almost 7

49 years ago "Mongoloid" is the debut single by American new wave band Devo, released February 1977 with "Jocko Homo" as the B-side. "Mongoloid" was later re-recorded by Devo and appeared on the album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We are Devo! #devo #newwave #history #punkrockhistory

As if this sort of thing wasn't enough they're coming for the Boundary Waters as well #FuckTheseFeds

"'It sounded like the Spinners,' laughs Andy Partridge, XTC’s chief songwriter. 'When Colin brought it to us and played it on an acoustic guitar, he might as well have had a dress on and some horn-rimmed glasses like Nana Mouskouri.'"

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

A Moment of Zen to start your day: Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Inst. (MBARI) documented an encounter with Stygiomedusa gigantea, the giant phantom jelly. The Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) named "Doc Ricketts" captured this video at a depth of 990 meters (3,200 feet) in Monterey Bay. Hypnotic!

Haven't decided yet but I'll be out here doing a happy dance with a bottle of champagne I've been saving in the basement fridge if anyone cares to join me #WhenItHappens

A reminder to the haters it takes this many states to outnumber the American citizens in Puerto Rico (~3.5m v. ~3.2m)

Way to get some paychecks in the hands of the people, guys

One might think that ramming phone gambling apps down the collective American throat is a poor idea but you do you capitalism

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

As a big geography/map nerd, I love how NBC includes everyone's hometown on the football tee vee graphics. I find this sort of thing interesting

I would love to know what it feels like to do this

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

"The test of this century is whether we mistake the growth of wealth and power for the growth of strength and character." -- Vince Lombardi, speaking to a business group in New York on this day 59 years ago, Feb. 8, 1967. The test of this century, too.

I'm telling you, this is fantastic, you must believe me

Hell yeah Sammy Johns

Nice people, the conservatives

Bold move by the Jimmy's people, serving ICE agents. Let's see how this goes for them #ShunMinnesotaICECollaborators

Any Minnesotan who endorses the DHS/ICE operation here can get fucked. I'll bet if you went to a protest or asked around city neighborhoods you wouldn't find one single person who'd wish this on any R+20 outstate/rural community anywhere, much less in their own home state

How much people everywhere are basically the same. Human experiences are universal and we have soooo much more in common than we have in difference

Maybe get the Navy out there to test some depth charges too while you're at it
