042. Cocteau Twins - Milk & Kisses And that's it for my Cocteau Twins #vinyl! All studio albums plus a single, a comp, and one collab. Grateful they've reissued all these so I could complete the set! One of my favorite bands, hands down. Quite the catalog!

My goodness Mamdani is excellent. History and hope.

Today is a good day to remind folks that the @eff.org has a fantastic guide on protecting yourself from surveillance! ssd.eff.org Read it! Share it! And always use signal with self deleting messages!!

041. Cocteau Twins - Four-Calendar Café I'm not sure when I really heard "Bluebeard" but it was a shock to not only understand a Cocteau Twins lyric, but especially one as pointed as "Are you the right one for me? Or are you toxic for me?" A good extension of their sound.

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

040. Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas I thought I posted these last three. Guess not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯😄 I think this was the album that got them more popularity in the U.S., "alternative" radio was big at the time. I like this album, but I gravitate more toward the earlier ones for some reason.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Wanted to point out the post's construction here. Why not say instead: "World health authorities strongly disagree with the President's unfounded assertion that pregnant women should stay away from Tylenol due to possible autism link. Evidence shows the drug is safe in pregnancy."

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away. And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

Gutted but looking forward to more of last night's dominance once he's back fit (as seen in this post from yesterday 😄 bsky.app/profile/soda... ). YNWA, lad. You're a Red now.

Always love hearing OMD in the wild and especially when it’s on The Bacon Butty @theanfieldwrap.bsky.social in the Brasco lounge. 😄 Listened to it today late after the match yesterday. Missed the “how was the bacon” at the end though, that’s always good for a smile from me. tidal.com/browse/track...

I heartily endorse this idea. 😄

I’m not really a war movie guy but I really like The Big Red One.

Jones up there as well as Leoni.

Ok, one thing I like so far: They've finally made it so you can click to fill in any 2FA code coming in to Messages into any browser, not just Safari. Huge time & brain saver. 😄

My favorite version of this song. Probably the first song I knew by The Damned? Saw it on MTV & bought the tape & listened to it over and over and over. Not the whole tape, pretty much just the one song. 😂 tidal.com/browse/track...

And if I can't stand the commentators, I sure as HELL am not going to listen to the dipshits in the studio. Win secured, coverage done, I'm out.

😅 Good grief. Got far far too interesting there in the 2nd half. 😮‍💨 Chiesa's got my MOTM as I just said. What a guy. #LFC #LIVSOU

Chiesa MOTM? #LFC #LIVSOU

Hugo's looked so humble and sharp in the first few games, today he's looked really cocky and arrogant. Great assist from Chiesa though. 🔴 🔴 #LFC #LIVSOU

Wish there was a 2nd audio feed on my broadcast as well, not sure who these knobs are but I'm over it. "Matt" someone? Anyway, I'll have the music on, thanks. #LFC #LIVSOU

🤣🤣🤣

Header from Leoni over that guy, hilarious. Just right through the Southampton player. He had no chance. 😂 #LFC #LIVSOU

Why are they showing the Soton miss over and over after Isak's goal? Terrible. #LFC #LIVSOU

Broadcast lag strikes again! 😂 Isak! 🙌🏻 Assist from none other than our Federico Chiesa. Warra player. 🔴 #LFC #LIVSOU

Canon for a leg, good grief! #LFC #LIVSOU

Fede is good, y'all. Love him being on our team. #LFC #LIVSOU

Fede's all over the pitch! Run, Fede, Run! 😂 #LFC #LIVSOU

Pretty dish from Chiesa for that chance from Isak. #LFC #LIVSOU

LFG #LFC! Mixed lineup but exciting! Including this guy! 😄 #LIVSOU

…um…this BABYMETAL track kinda fucks? tidal.com/browse/track...

No but seriously.

Trump at the UN is like if Khrushchev had beat himself in the head with the shoe instead

This is the kind of optimism and forward thinking I want to hear from leaders in the U.S.

LOL

Not any crew could pull this off, doing a show about an event that didn't happen. But these three? Piece of cake. From Martin's opening answers as Arne Slot (sans Dutch accent) to Andy's deep Leisure Suit Larry cut, to Mike's inside info on Rio's training, these lads make it look so easy. 😄

Holy fuck macOS Tahoe is horrible. Who signed off on this shit?

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I missed Anil's blog post about this initially, but it's the opinion I wanted to read about Tim Cook and his obsequious genuflection to Trump. It baffles me that someone of Cook's background and identity would do so, but then again, as a non-visionary, perhaps not.

Just letting @andyheaton.bsky.social know he hit at least one person with the Leisure Suit Larry reference on today's non-press conference Press Conference Extra. 😂

Of course, giving people vouchers doesn't mean that all landlords honor them but cash in hand is another story. You want to solve homelessness, implement UBI!

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Honky Cat was just playing in the grocery store, what a funky jam. Made my errand 1000% times better. 😄 tidal.com/browse/track...

the trans music archive has announced a residency for 2 trans bands/artists at their recording studio in NY, plus a $1000 stipend www.transmusicarchive.org/residency

The U.S. is so fucking weird.

Star Wars, if it was the USA: Empire - destroys Alderaan Senator Mon Mothma - "i have sent a very strongly worded letter to Palpatine. also, i have voted yes to fund a second Death Star in order to prevent a galactic shutdown. Please send The Resistance $25."

*blows the loudest wettest raspberry*

today's post is brought to you by Firefox, which in its latest update will "summarize" pages if you shake your phone and, if you look in your settings under General > Tabs this new hot garbage which I immediately turned off because it was ON BY DEFAULT like it ALWAYS IS when they do this shit

Lexi’s post is reminding me to point y’all in the direction of @techforpalestine.org They’ve been working tirelessly to help Palestinian (and other) developers create alternatives—including Upscrolled—to Israeli tech. See the list here: israelitechalternatives.com
