Fun night with Destroyer at Pumpuset in Copenhagen...Eleanor Friedberger opening.

Along the walk from the train station to my office…lovely late autumn vibes

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

When the edibles hit #catsofbluesky #cats

In a world where Dem leaders had 1/4 of the messaging nous & media capture that GOP does, this would be a non-stop story & force every single GOP leader to denounce & distance themselves from these cretins, & the people in the chats would be kicked out of the party www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

I’m obsessed with this new song by Lynn Blakey(Let’s Active) and Mike Mills (R.E.M.) And listen for it on Stevie’s Coolest Songs. youtu.be/itZM_0zYMiE?...

Robert Forster & His Swedish Band…outstanding set in Copenhagen tonight. Included a couple of Go Betweens nuggets. The tour is going all thru Europe & the UK. Do yourself a favor & go see the man play. He’s brilliant.

If you attend, work for, once went to, or plan to send your kids to a University of California school, write to the presidents and board of regents and demand UC stand up to Trump's attempts to bribe and cower the greatest public unvierstiy system in the world: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/u...

Excited to dig into the new book from @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Cheers to Tom for signing it, & to @blackwells.bsky.social for reasonably priced delivery to Denmark

Red skies at night…

One might not think that an hour-long talk about the centenary of a minor change to football’s offside rule would be engaging & funny, but @jonawils.bsky.social is quite the good story-teller, so it was indeed engaging & funny.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

Having a sunset moment at the moment

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

Sun’s out, tongues out! #catsofbluesky

Hey, it’s @eltwang.bsky.social & Stjernevask at Råhuset!

New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

gift link to the WSJ story Trump didn’t want anyone ever to see www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

I'm a professor at the flagship university for the fourth whitest state in the US. Over 80% of our students are white. The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country. We also have a food pantry.

The good thing is, with the screen shots preserved, this can be reposted over and over again so Jamelle's points can stay current, as they should. NYT reporters & editors on the story & the execs who forced him to delete should know no peace over this horrible episode.

Dems need long term signaling that caving to Trump will be punished by a future administration. Bukele should know he and El Salvador will be immediately sanctioned. Universities and law firms should feel zero long term advantage from capitulating instead of protecting their independence.

I really struck a nerve here. I stand by what I said.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Take this as your sign to primary every appeasement-obsessed do-nothing motherfucker who looked at you sideways, gang.

Quote this with a great TV father, dumbass

It’s a Man Ray kind of tomb

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.
