Bringing back an old online exercise from years past for BlueSky. #31DaysOfHalloween #Music. A bit late but here is the 1st one: Monster Mash by @skatunenetwork.bsky.social and @catbiteband.bsky.social. A fantastic cover and a good introduction to both musical artists www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWfg...

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

I was thinking during the fervor how there is something sad about seeing a man who lived his life as part of this shallow, exploitative political machine, get cycled into ephemeral rage fodder until its used even the memory of him all up and exhausted any individualism or humanity that *was* there.

leftists are consistently labeled as out of touch extremists, but there isn’t a single prominent left position this unpopular

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

Tired of seeing "wanna see a dead body?!" about a sooper-epic dunk on some person I legitimately wish was dead

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Reminder that we are probably going to war with Iran because the CEOs of Halliburton, Blackwater, and Lockheed Martin need their 15th yacht.

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes Hope that helps

Happy Father's Day except for Worf

Anyone who has had babies can never be afraid of Nightmare on Elm Street. You already don't sleep, babies' razor claws trump Freddy's, and Freddy's dreams are nothing compared to "What's in your mouth?! Spit it out right now!!"

once again I must tap my own sign

The only way there should ever be a Coco 2 is if Miguel starts dabbling in Necromancy. Coco:Resurrected

Morning Conversations with my partner. Me: "Wait Bob Segar's band was The Silver Bullet band?" Partner: "Yeah" Me: "Movie Idea: Bob Segar Werewolf Hunter. Title: Night Moves" Partner: "What like Fright Night?"

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.

Introducing your #FecklessFaction folks. Disappointed but not surprised that these senators have failed to meet the moment and represent the bravery of their own constituents.

I think ppl mad at biden for not stepping down sooner are kind of confused about the reasons to be made at biden. 1

It may feel hopeless right now, but there are actual, concrete ways you can fight back against what's happening in our government. Watch the full video on YouTube: No one is coming to save us. youtu.be/By1Z1nk31iE

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

You’ve been murdered, who do you want on the case?

I went inside the NIH as part of my show The G Word. I've never met people who cared more about helping others. My heart goes out to everyone whose public service was cut short by these senseless firings.

I recorded a song I wrote 10 years ago for this benefit comp put together by @getbetterrecords.bsky.social for people effected by the Los Angeles fires! I’ve loved this song, but haven’t had anywhere I could properly release it cause it has a hella 90s alt rock vibe lmao

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

In 2021 textile artist Emma Dyer documented her year in embroidery #WomensArt

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

These people must know how hard it is to get any psychiatric treatment LET ALONE adequate medication.

⚪️ Evangelicals mad because Kendrick showed how easy it is to call out predators on stage but they won’t do it.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Look, I just want to help people do research in a way that does not lead them to injure themselves or others. This honestly isn't so much to ask. It's a real simple mission statement.

But is the Gulf of Mexico old enough to really know it wants to transition? What if it has regrets?

It seems that we as a population are living two completely different realities. On the one hand, you have people for whom this administration's behavior have had immediate effects. Trans folks, people of color, federal employees, fed contractors and non-profits, migrants and their families, etc

Do not comply out of fear. This applies to all things with this administration. Make them make you. Make them take the media hit. Make them lose in court. Show them they do not have the authority. This is the motto for the next 4 years: DO NOT COMPLY. MAKE THEM MAKE YOU.

My method for dealing with dystopian despair: 1) Get yourself a warm beverage. Make yourself sip it slowly. Sit somewhere quiet as you do so 2) Imagine yourself on a rooftop, wearing a long trenchcoat, sunglasses, smoking a cigarette* *even if you're asthmatic. It's important to the aesthetic

Super Bowl lesson: Stopping an arrogant Chief from a third term is probably a good move for America right now.

Questioning their authority means Musk and Vance are unequivocally trying to overthrow the government. Actually ignoring the courts is when it becomes a legitimate coup. That is the Flee the Country or Grab a Gun moment.

what this song would’ve sounded like if phineas and ferb was picked up in the 90s when it was first pitched 🙂‍↕️🏁✨ GITCHIE GITCHIE GOO MEANS THAT I LOVE YOU ✨💖🥰💕✨ Full video on YouTube! youtu.be/39niUuDUe-4?...

It's so frustrating to see so many in govt acting like this is a business as usual presidency. It is not. We are less than 20 days in & are in a constitutional crisis. This administration cannot be reasoned with. You are dealing with the Mad King Aerys, not a normal president.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Oops 😬

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Looking at the world today, growing more and more nostalgic of a simpler time. A time where blowing into a cartridge fixed all our problems. Or maybe we could load in an earlier save file… Super Mario 64 (file select) MIDWEST EMO COVER Full video on 🫵🏾YOU📺TUBE✨ youtu.be/sUaT5QfcshI?...

Ska tune network was one of the first accounts that I followed on TikTok. They’re constantly and consistently putting out Gold and I get physically mad that they are not being handed at least 12 Grammys a year.
