I am not happy in being completely justified for cancelling Spotify subscription when they signed Rogan up and paid him $100 million to spread this garbage. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they can’t imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there.

I know it's a different club from #LFC but wow, watching Newcastle beat ManU just now…I'd love to see some of that heart & fight & intensity from ours. Supporters at St. James' were well up for it, too. If I were Arne, I'd show the boys that last 10 minutes & say "Bring me that or go home."

Holy shit, that goal from Osula to go ahead of ManU was fucking INSANE. #NEWMU

i had multiple dreams about continuing to sort things on this tab for two days after i closed it. you should definitely click on it.

"OpenAI helped launch a $125m lobbying initiative, a Super Pac, to make sure no state can regulate AI. It’s attacking any politician who tries to pass safety laws." OpenAI's president, Greg Brockman, also donated $25m to Maga Inc, making him Donald Trump’s largest donor of the last cycle. #QuitGPT

At least I remembered how to play one of my songs tonight. I’d forgotten the fingering but found my way back to it. That felt good. I like that song.

Now playing:

Kid came home with a 3D printed ICE whistle one of her classmates gave out to everyone and knew exactly what to do and what it is used for. I'm happy she has one, but I'm sad she needs to. My 9 year old does active shooter drills and knows the government is kidnapping her friends and their parents

I mean…maybe if we'd attacked more in the first instead of going back? Maybe if Salah hadn't been poor most of the game? Maybe if the shot doesn't bounce off JoGo to catch the keeper in the wrong position? Maybe if Isak doesn't break his leg? Maybe if Bradley doesn't get injured? 😮‍💨 #LFC #WOLLIV

Come on, Rio!! Big chance to turn the game for us! #LFC #WOLLIV

We keep going back, it looks like it's part of some kind of strategy but I can't tell what that might be. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We're not bad? Just…not attacking. #LFC #WOLLIV

Great throw from Alisson! Just a little too much. #LFC #WOLLIV

I don't mind the play by play guy on USA but the color man is boring so switching over to the #LFC audio feed. #WOLLIV

Now THAT's some passing!! UP THE REDS!! #LFC #WOLLIV #YNWA

@modernminstrel.bsky.social - Looks like my Daily Discovery on TIDAL has been paying attention to me listening to your playlist. 😂

Happy matchday, Reds! Today's #MatchdayMugshot is in honor of Diogo Jota, forever our number 20. ❤️ He would have wanted us to beat his former PL team both times this week. 😄 #LFC #WOLLIV #Forever20

A Few Hours After This

"The litmus test of whether the US is an entrenched mafia state has always been Kushner." Full article: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-end-of...

I will never, ever, understand the Right's obsession with and hatred for trans people. I don't understand why they want to gatekeep help and health, like hoarding resources and denying care will help them live forever or something. Maybe if I say it louder: TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. 🏳️‍⚧️

For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.” Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us. Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

Grim.

#MWE 28: Elvis Presley - How Great Thou Art Another Christian album. Again, I am not religious. But Elvis sure was! The A side is like listening to side two of Elvis' Christmas Album - slow songs about God & whatnot. B side has more hopped up tunes, more in his usual bluesy style. But lots of God.

#MWE 27: The Beach Boys - Holland Interesting name for an album with a suite called "California Saga." 😄 Oh, it's because some of it was recorded in Holland. 😂 I'm mostly used to more "traditional" Beach Boys, so this feels like a departure. But I'm not mad about it. It's just different.

Welp, Brentford back up on Burnley, wild end to that game. 😅 Maybe Leeds can do something against City? 🤔 I'm off to book club in a couple hours, have a great rest of your weekend, Reds! #LFC #LIVWHU #YNWA

Should end this only 3 points off Villa in 3rd. 😳 Burnley possibly doing the business against the Bees, the Ev holding off Newcastle as well. Let's keep it up, Reds. Feeling we should keep it strong to qualify for CL next season. 💪🏻 #LFC #LIVWHU #YNWA

Frimpong! Jerry Frimpong! He used to play the Bundes-league Now he Plays at Anfield And he's scoring goals for #LFC! 5️⃣🔴 #LIVWHU #YNWA

Gakpo looks more like he's about to cry than celebrate. 😄 Now can we get Rio on? 😄 4️⃣🔴 #LFC #LIVWHU #YNWA

I'm so late to celebrate goals lately with VAR. 🥴 Glad to see that reactive goal in this one from Mac Allister after he's tried to set up the shot just so. UP THE REDS!!! 🔴 🔴 🔴 #LFC #LIVWHU #YNWA

VVD makes it two! 🔴 🔴 It's all downhill into the Kop, West Ham's gambit not paying off. 😂 #LFC #LIVWHU #YNWA

EKITIKE EKITIKE EKITIKE!!!! 🔴 #LFC #LIVWHU #YNWA

Up for Signs of Unity! #YNWA LFG #LFC! Let's do the business at Anfield. ❤️ #LIVWHU #MatchdayMugshot

The group that wants people prosecuted for suggesting the military obey the law “always adheres to the law?” 137 fishermen unavailable for comment.

Slot seemed in a jovial mood in the press conference, I hope the players are in the same loose & upbeat mood on the pitch that they can just play their game & take care of the upcoming business against tough but (let's be honest) vulnerable sides. UP THE REDS! #LFC

Kansas GOP to, without a grace period, confiscate and invalidate the drivers licenses of all of its trans citizens exactly as the federal GOP places arduous identification requirements to exercise the right to vote.

"can you believe conservatives are going this hard against such a small, persecuted minority" as a talking point loses a lot of its fire when you observe that "scapegoating small minority groups to enact shitty policy" is a load-bearing pillar of conservatism

#MWE 26: Honeyglaze - Real Deal Not sure where/how I put this on my list, but I'm glad I did! Very 90s indie feel with some math rock undertones in there. I'm only 3 songs in and super digging this. Ends heavy but will go into rotation once Feb is over. Looking forward to checking out their debut!

A thread you should read.

You have never lived in a world without trans people and YOU NEVER WILL.

Demanding people surrender their drivers licenses because the state decided to discriminate against them as a class, and threatening jail time if they're caught driving without a legitimate license—because the state revoked them discriminatorily—is a wholly unjustified, cruel, bigoted action.

Found myself nodding along as I read her post. Found myself completely nauseous reading the screenshots at the end. I’m so sorry you had to endure that, Becks. Let’s make sure we don’t put up with misogyny in our spaces, men. So women can feel safe. All women.

i think especially now that an obama-related figure like biden wont be in the presidential race, our notion of what wins is going to be very different. i dont think the legislative records of members of congress and governors will matter nearly as much as the posture for how they choose to fight

#MWE 25: Geese - 3D Country Feels like a successor to Ween. Good tight musicianship playing hard rock but a looseness & chaos that feels like a middle finger to any establishment you've got. 😄 Not usually my thing I feel like but I ended up enjoying this quite a bit! 🕺🏻🤘🏻 tidal.com/album/443964...

Happy 40th birthday to Sheep by The Housemartins, released on this day in 1986. Here they are performing the song on No. 73, which I think was their first TV appearance youtu.be/5aRAHpyYVyQ?...

@modernminstrel.bsky.social - Just spent a few minutes re-creating your Dream Pop, Trip Hop, etc. playlist in TIDAL. ☺️ Giving that a go now! Still solidly in the opening Cocteau Twins salvo. Very interested to hear Violet Indiana, don't think I've heard of them before! 😳 😄 tidal.com/playlist/4f1...

G'wed, Denver!

Very thankful that my friend Stevil is posting here a little bit more now. We all need more Stevil.
