speaking of, my submission for this month's flow, which I describe as "art-pop Stooges" www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rL3...

Wet Leg - Chaise Longue uk 2021 IS your muffin buttered? Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin? Excuse me? What? What a debut! I had instant love for this song. Their playfulness with rhythm and words as rhythm reminds me of Tom Tom Club. No? #TheTwen2ie5 Day 33 NK&IS✅

Mamdani embodies a pro-Palestinian politics that truly distinguishes between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and truly takes antisemitism seriously as its own problem. That makes him a threat to those who want to absolutely conflate antisemitism and anti-Zionism, whether the ADL or WoL.

Swastikas being drawn in Jewish spaces is just bad. There should be no "buts" to that.

Some Jewish people feel there needs to be a Jewish state for them to be safe (I, a Jewish person, disagree with this stance). Not supporting politicians who condemn antisemitism where Jewish people live just gives more fuel to the first idea.

Day 8: Rickie Lee Jones - Little Yellow House #20SongsByYear 1997 18 years after her big hit, Rickie was still putting out weird, creative, compelling music that sounded current yet uniquely hers.

Working on an audio comedy drama with @andrewhickey.500songs.com & a bunch of The Daily Tism crew. I can’t say much yet but it’s going to be very very very autistic, very silly and hopefully very funny. Can’t bloody wait until it’s ready to show you.

Early 80s. They were friends for years, but in an interview about it, Ahmet Zappa said Kirby first came round to the Zappa house "around the time Empire came out" (1981) and was saying how much Lucas had "borrowed" from his work.

When Zappa met Kirby

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Occasionally I feel the need to remind people that the "Bechdel test" was a joke from a comic strip that frequently poked fun at it's characters... Like, the literal punchline is that the last film the character watched was ALIEN.

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

#20SongsByYear #MusicSky #MusicChallenge Playing a bit of catch up…. 1982 Not Ranked 6.Iron Maiden-The Number of the Beast (Title track from the album, released in March ‘82)

Lords of Altamont - We'll Never Leave (This World Alive) - 🇺🇸 2021 A name like that is writing big checks. Generally they can cash them. Ex- The Fuzztones, ex The Bomboras, ex etc but totally Ice Spice Compliant NK❌ #TheTwen2ie5 Day 32 Bands I heard on Little Steven's Underground Garage.

This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast. "We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

Massachusetts SNAP recipients got their benefits tonight which I know because the community group is alerting each other I’m sobbing??

I’ll admit I do it a lot, especially when I want noses that aren’t button/barbie noses 😅

friends it is once again #shoegaze Saturday

Yesterday, Block Club reported that the feds have said no more prayer outside the facility which is of course not something they can demand or enforce.

The more I draw from references the more sympathy I have for rob “pouches & teeth” liefield’s tendency to drawing his own face over and over. Sometimes it is reallllly hard to find the reference you want. And as someone who prefers non generic faces it’s hassle.

People trying on clothes at the Way In boutique at Harrods, painted by Muriel Lewis c.1968, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. Her work often depicts scenes from a seemingly materially affluent life outside hospital.

Fuckers using AI generated images all over the article. If you want to fight for writers rights, start by respecting the labor from other creators, like illustrators. If you won't value other people's work, why would they give a shit for your profession? If you want respect, first respect.

most of my group chats right now are federal workers trying to help each other find food and emergency help people are getting tripped up in red tape trying to get a pittance of unemployment that doesn’t cover DC housing people don’t have assurance about backpay and are worried savings are gone

Every line read from the man here gets increasingly weird and unhinged. You will never believe where it lands.

an arc where the former governor of NY loses increasingly inconsequential elections until the series finale is him trying to run for senior class president at a local high school and getting his ass kicked by some 17 year olds.

I was taught that each campaign has 3 phases: preparation, execution, evaluation. Two decades in, I'm now convinced there's a 4th phase: appreciation. Appreciation is essential because hard work done, if left unappreciated, can poison its doer. That's why I make time to write personal thank-you's.

Head Start programs are closing. These programs provide early childhood education and nutrition to thousands of low-income children. The government shutdown has already forced the Santa Cruz County Head Start program to temporarily shut down, affecting 300 children.

By the way, before someone shows up and is like “gay people can be miserable too” 1. Sure 2. It happens less often at least in my queer circles because we already have to think about romance and partnership and relationship dynamics and gender a lot by virtue of being queer But.

HOODED MERGANSER IN THE DISTANCE. FIRST OF WEIRD DUCK SEASON COME CLOSER BUDDY!! 😭 😭

Now I'm thinking about The Situation as a Batman villain

Joker HAD an accent before the accident and it got replaced with a very TV American one from his brain breaking about what's Funny. When his sanity creeps in he gets the accent back. Harley...actually sounds like Harley, that one is already done. Mr. Freeze is so tired of all these Jersey freaks

Riddler gets angry when his accent makes people ask him to repeat his riddles Selina has worked to hide her accent and if she lets it out she either trusts you or is drunk Two-Face has a thick as hell accent but Harvey doesn't because he took elocution lessons as part of his political career

When your husband is lost at sea so your mourn and grieve but then you get remarried because someone’s got to provide for these kids but then your first husband miraculously returns from the dead

I still like this thread and so am re-sharing it. I'd say without apologies, but in fact I'm sorry. :)

please god can he lose a third election in two years

There are a lot of things I could say about my sources for these insights. For sure, the sheer variety of body types in porn compared to the body types accepted by the beauty standard is very striking. But also: you find this stuff out when you publish a book about women who can electrocute people.

Like, women do obviously suffer massively from the patriarchy and one of the ways is the beauty standard. But I think straight men really suffer from the beauty standard too, because my impression is that it absolutely defines and limits what a lot of men allow themselves to be attracted to.

I think this is what is driving some of the very intense (and almost anguished) male conversation about who is attractive and who is not. They’re not talking about their own preferences, they’re talking about their fear that they might have an attraction that is different to/mocked by other men.

I remember Captain Sensible having solo hits when I was little, but didn’t connect him with ‘punk’ - it was the distant past by the time I got into music properly in 1989

#TheTwen2ie5 33/50 One of the best bands on the planet with a fine example of their manic metalcore sound! You should like this one! Hanabie - Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now (2023) 🇯🇵 Japan youtu.be/fuFbQ-Mewfw?...
