If IT happens today, Friday the Thirteenth is gonna become a whole new thing…

Henry Rollins really turned himself into a great guy.

Not as great as it sounds since RI would continue investing in slave ships and other aspects of the slave trade, full freedom for all enslaved persons wouldn’t come until 1843 #blackhistorymonth www.newportri.com/story/lifest...

I've been saying this for years. If you have to own a car, get a used EV; it'll be crazy cheap to run (as long as you can charge it at home, or for free somewhere) and it will contribute much less to #climatecrisis They don’t solve tire pollution but they produce way less brake dust + no oil changes

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Hot Take Warning I don’t like digital versions or Anthologies (Compendiums, etc) that reprint comic books on a bright white background. Give me the yellows of cheap pulp paper, of age, etc. Chip Kidd knows and his superhero books all use scanned images that just look right. /rant

Surprised there wasn’t a CFIT event on the flight home *Controlled Flight Into Terrain

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

First of all, spend that money on the homeless, but if you HAVE to have a $70’000 rug FFS triple-check it’s the correct seal 😂🤬

So long Bud thanks for all the movies

We play House till 7, 8 in the morning - until noon.

Today’s productivity mix involves ‘80s Industrial tidal.com/track/201312...

One of the many many reasons I miss my uncle is that he came up with the perfect nickname for people he liked. There are people I legit don’t know their real name because NO ONE uses it LOL Rags Striker Society Auto (short for Auto Destruct) etc.

It’s fun seeing just how much in the way of yellow and brown deposits our beloved pets* leave… * also college students, etc.

That rhombus in NM is weirder if you ask me…

This will not stand

DJ Shadow live on the radio in 1991, can you imagine?! youtu.be/nlKEj3jzTdk

Ladies and germs I present to you Klaudio’s entry into the not at all crowded pivoting tangential tonearm market. The only other on I know of is made by Thales; a very similar design in which two parallel arms pivot at the cartridge so that the needle tracks perpedicularly to the record groove.

NTS is a musical treasure #musicsky youtu.be/YZAOXfRQbr0

How do vinyl records get made you ask? Like this! TL;DR they haven’t made new Neumann record lathes (they cut the lacquers that make the stampers to press actual vinyl) since the mid-80s! OMA is making new motors for the ones that remain, so that’s good. * Oswalds Mill Audio youtu.be/rc2LA9kC-4U

"As the light departs my corporeal form, yearning to move on to destinations unknown, I have but one final request. I beg of you, please commemorate my birthday with mattress sales."

Age verification: I’m smallpox vaccine scar old

You know who can also testify as to what was happening with Epstein and don’t need clemency? His victims.

WHY?!

Not only did about half the enslaved Africans brought to America travel on Rhode Island owned or operated ships but we also had our own race riots right here in #providence #blackhistorymonth

slyida.b on insta shares some pretty wild music, here’s today's #musicsky #drone

Phil is a smart, funny guy. If you like books about racing bicycles he has two you should read. Also he makes videos. (If you download the DuckDuckGo browser you can watch it without ads in their viewer)!

Do you want to help Minneapolis out in a different way? Help set up some new street medics so that they can make sure community members are cared for at protests. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Can we skip ahead to the bunker episode

Cartoon by @jbcartoonist.bsky.social. Congressional Priorities.

Breakaway (7 strong) has been working really well in today’s Tour of Oman stage. Contains race leader Baptiste Veistroffer who’s been driving the pace. Pace that’s too much for Quentin Pacher who’s now dropped off. Veistroffer has such an efficient aero position on the bike.

1968?! #musicsky

1982 ladies and germs That baseline! The synth solo!

There should be a wild-card ad every year during the superbowl; maybe chosen during the previous year’s clios or something and broadcast at no charge. Also a PSA about not driving like an asshole, or about paying your fucking child support.

Did you all know that Pink Floyd has albums other than DSOTM WYWH Animals and The Wall?

City somehow turned a 4” snowfall into a 14” ridge across the end of our driveway 😂🤬🙌🧱 tidal.com/album/687320...

Northern flicker on the suet!

Compare growth rings between these two pieces of 2x4, top is Sitka spruce from the 1970s, bottom is from 2025… 50 growth rings vs 12

Amazingly, at a church sale I found an unopened copy of Jake Holm’s album that has his original version of Dazed and Confused on it. If you’re not listening to these deep dive podcasts yet, you should be, this song gets three entire episodes!

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af
