friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

One-of-a-kind voice covers one-of-a-kind voice. Forbert and Sexsmith — two of the best to ever do it.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Sweet Lord... he plays the chills-inducing CCR classic "Long As I Can See the Light." I want to see him in this kind of stripped back setting.

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

When Democrats begin declaring, I want each to release their full de-Trumpification plans if they should take office, including what they will immediately reverse, remove, demolish and/or rename.

Joe Perry is now a catcher's mitt.

A look back at a packed year of great albums and exciting releases.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Joe Walsh's chode guitar. It’s a guitar for a chode. 22.5 inch neck, 21 fret fretboard, fucking junk. www.juliensauctions.com/en/auctions/...

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

He ain't coming back.

Seeing Rolling Stone lay off multiple staff less than three weeks before Christmas, one of them Brittany Spanos, a cover story writer with 11 years at the title, really confirms how bad things are in media right now

I've been marveling at the marvelousness of Evan Dando's Lemonheads output 1992-1996 and asked AI to create a side-by-side of those classic albums.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Repost with an iconic fictional band…

Sex pest. Emotional abuse. This guy is the jizz stain on the dirty pants of a bus pervert. And how dare you use a D'Angelo song. I hope he comes crawling out the grave and strangles your wack ass

Funny how the same people who’d throw a tantrum if *their* free (floating) public transit disappeared are weirdly hostile toward the guy trying to give them more of it.

Is it SOP to ditch bylines on Pitchfork's douchiest reviews?

Ace Frehley, KISS Co-Founder & Guitar Hero, Dies at 74

Ride's Nowhere turned 35 yesterday — etched on Mount Shoegazemore alongside Souvlaki, Loveless and... what else? www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsmH...

Once upon a time, the social media accounts of federal agencies weren't a stream of fascist, white nationalist garbage interlaced with whiny culture-war posts. Earlier this year, even!

Geddy Lee, walking past fans.

WUH?

Tim's look. Unsubscribing Disney/Hulu/ESPN and diverting those funds to the HEI Network.

Spotify's "Alt Country Classics" playlist has had a random Uncle Tupelo *instrumental* at #1 for several years now.

NOT the Black Keys drummer.

Everyone running against a Republican Senator should be reminding people nonstop that everyone knew this would happen and every Republican still voted to put an antivaxxer with no health or science background in charge of health and science for the entire country

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Amazing how many articles there were about “Kamala Harris, what does she do? What policy debates does she participate in? How is she “messing up the border?” And the current VP is just a full on shitposter and the political press goes, “ah well, nevertheless”

Sorry, but nothing beats the Superstar Car Wash era.

Celebrating my 25th year of Ron Sexsmith adoration with his best album in ages. Melodies for days and super-crisp production from Martin Terefe.

Full stop, that was garbage. Absolutely ridiculous for the VAR check to even occur at 110’ much less it be called a penalty on Joyner and @stlcitysc.com. This is an embarrassment for MLS.

Inside the New Ray Charles Reissues On Tangerine Records: ‘It’s Ray Truly Expressing Himself’

YOU COULDN’T DO ANYTHING IN THE MUSIC BIZ WITHOUT BEING ON CRACKER BARREL RECORDS, AND NOW IT DON’T. MEAN. SHIT.

After I discovered a state website was exposing the Social Security numbers of hundreds of thousands Missouri teachers, Andrew Bailey played a key role in Gov. Parson's decision to falsely accuse me of a crime, and demand that I be prosecuted. www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

Midsize Matters: Why Live Nation & AEG Are Building More 2,000 to 7,000-Capacity Venues in the U.S.

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

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

Hang on, Augie!

Ozzy Osbourne Dead at 76, Just Weeks After Black Sabbath’s Final Concert

I like how Matthew Broderick is so on-brand boring that they just went ahead and turned off the comments.

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

Punk Finds a Pulse: What’s Behind the Genre’s Latest Comeback?

That the Dixie Dregs jumped out of a fucking plane - without ‘chutes! - and almost all of them survived will never not amaze me.

it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated and in which he was found liable for sexual assault, and yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.
