Eric Swalwell resorts to emergency 23AndMe submission seeking proof of Italian heritage

See you tonight, Nashville!

Happy 6 years to HOLD ON TO YOURSELF!

Can we hold space for two truths? this statement is correct and the economy was generally fine during Biden. We’re near the conclusion of decades of consolidation/tech disruption that’s going to ruin/end a good few large industries & the flow of money/jobs is small and only getting smaller.

See you in Nashville this weekend!

casually profound in how succinct and accurate this is!

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

U.S. foreign policy has been captured by dorks obsessed with the movie 300 and the only way to fix it is to put in power dorks obsessed with the movie Master and Commander.

This was such a nice aside to all the terrible news in the world, honestly. Just so great.

New pedal! Ballou sent me this GCI Crimson Cock pedal for my birthday so I’m checking it out with my live rigs for @fcommanders.bsky.social! When activated, it seems to boost and brighten the mids, and when set to BUGAWK mode, there’s a noticeable beef / crisis that happens - which of course I love.

CAN NOT WAIT to tour the EU in just under two months! See you all very soon!

It turns out that the most universal language of all is, perhaps, “internet humor.”

I would read the heck out of a book or article that explained why a disproportionate number of American fascists have been chiropractors. No shade on that entire category of practitioners, but it's definitely a theme that has emerged in my research on the US far right. Article is from 2001.

"lol," as the kids say, "lmao."

it's like finally seeing pacino and de niro sit down in heat

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

These are the 4 things AI can do well: •Clean up your email inbox (badly) •Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party •Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself •Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Bro imagine rolling up to church having just written Ave Maria. Suck my dick, god. Your move

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @buickaudra.bsky.social! You write the songs, the riffs, the melodies, and conceive the concepts that make up our musical existence and bring it all to life with the most shreddingly beautiful voice and guitar playing imaginable.

Florida world tour starts tonight!

It’s amazing what’s happened with the demographic at indie/underground rock and shows. The crowd is either 42+ or 22-. No in between at all. Like a whole lost generation.

🌿BATON ROUGE🌿 See you tonight 2/19 at Mid City Ballroom w/ Temptress! Doors at 8! Huge thanks to everything who came out last night, to the first show of the tour! We loved seeing you all. Here’s a clip of THE ENEMY I KNOW, taken by our pal JD! Played it with our entire beings, that’s for sure.

the difference is where the value comes from. writing, illustration, etc, have value as human expression, and given it's the only way we can understand each other, human-authored communication is infinitely valuable. conversely, AI slop is valueless, even if it's technically "good".

Headed your way! See you soon!

AI filmmaking is completely unserious. You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

New video for IMPERFECT is live via Lawn Chair Youth! See you on tour staring 2/18 into Infinity! youtu.be/mLKYIhUkLtg?...

We’re goin’ to Florida!

Glad to see people catching on to what nearly every Nashville native of a certain age has known for a while.

Kid Rock flew his DJ down to make a video about why the pre-taped “halftime show” was so shitty They even do an acapella Bawitada to prove they know all the words

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

The AI “anonimizing” in the Lucy Letby doc essentially ruins the whole thing. Artless and annoying and looks awful. It’s like a normal doc and then all of a sudden you’re watching Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf.

this is why you should *never* hit someone with an rpg. it’s dangerous, it’s shitty, and it’s wrong

If you're building a startup in 2026, you are expected to work with the world's largest venture capital firm (which is not even really a VC firm), where one partner strangled my neighbor to death for being Black, and another actively sought Jeffrey Epstein's counsel for years. This is *normal*.

Pals! A quick note on Bandcamp Friday! 🌿All BEAR bundles have been restocked - CDs, vinyl, shirts, lyrics, etc! All there for the first time in a while. friendshipcommanders.bandcamp.com 1/

Can’t wait to go back! See y’all on tour soon!

“One thing reporters try to do is to spotlight ideas or news stories, and what you’re trying to do is spotlight her face and its beauty. I do see a real similarity there.” HAHAHAHAHAHA this is brutal (and sad, Spinotti rules).

I can officially confirm that the snow in NC is roughly one (1) corgi deep

Disappointed that I’ve not seen a “Trump is warshed” joke yet.

Some words from us in this time of near speechlessness, plus some things we also want to add: -we are acutely aware that this administration’s actions impact Black, Brown, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, Disabled and other marginalized groups the most. 1/

Europe! We’re coming out! Can’t wait!
