Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

We are just in time to celebrate the birthday of Peter Kropotkin—the geographer, author, and anarchist revolutionary widely known for helping to popularize the concept of mutual aid—with this account detailing his narrow escape from a St. Petersburg prison. crimethinc.com/KropotkinBre... 🏴

fuck this technofascist occupation

While the paper hasn't come out just yet, the news certainly has. Proud to announce our discovery of color patterning in a sauropod dinosaur. Will go in depth tomorrow.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

"And what about all those books with checklists on how to spot your country sliding into fascism? Why did so many of the people who read them—and even some of the people who wrote them—falter when a genocide was unfolding on their screens..." - @naomiaklein.bsky.social h/t @annfriedman.bsky.social

quick let’s invest the entire u.s. economy on this!

This matching grant would be huge here for so many in need. Share this around and help if you can. #mutualaid #mutual-aid

I will take this opportunity to ask a few things of you. First, always figure out how to buy music from artists you want to support. Second, please visit our friends at the United Musicians and Allied Workers, who are leading the fight on this and other issues. weareumaw.org

home front’s track “kiss the sky” is giving duran duran through a darkwave twist. you should check out any/all of their releases if you haven’t already.

the same TEA that is taking over the school districts of perry much every major texas city after changing the metrics for what constitutes failing? that TEA? the same mike morath who is a crony of abbott, who just forced through vouchers this year? oh. 🤔

three hour punk band practice and migraine are not playing nicely in my skull

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

mommy’s alright daddy’s alright they just seem a little weird surrender surrender but don’t give yourself awaaaay

child care workers are some of the most dedicated and underpaid/under-appreciated workers in our country. i worked my way through college and some of that time was teaching at a local preschool. i keep in touch with a few families decades later. they will do anything to protect those kids.

I already know depression hates to see this man coming. I’m cancelling all of my therapy appointments and adding this song and dance to my morning routine. *Depression no, no, no ALEGRÍA SI SI SI*

Several Chicago newsrooms spent two months collecting and analyzing evidence of ICE & Border Patrol's use of tear gas and pepper spray in Chicago. They found that agents deployed chemical agents nearly 50 times. Most uses occurred after a judge ordered federal agents to restrict their use.

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

working on/playing two punk shows one weekend in feb that are going to be badass and queer af. austin art freaks, chicanx punx, drag queens, misfits and all other weirdos save the dates: feb 20 & 22. i can’t release more info just yet but i promise these are both going to be year highlight events.

kept seeing this interview with Sean Bonette pop up on instagram yesterday and every time i was like 'yes true correct' because thank god for all these generous artists making my life better, i guess i can keep writing too diskodisko.com/an-interview...

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again - and I’m not gonna say it’ll make you HAPPY - but if you’re looking for the realest and the purest things among humanity, sure you could do worse than taking two hours and JUST watching Sinéad O’Connor reaction videos

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

same energy as when my abuelo gave up trying to learn any of my/my primas’ boo’s names and called them all jaime. for the record, no one in the family had ever dated a jaime.

Ernie Bushmiller predicted social media decades before the Internet existed

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

What Ken Paxton is doing here is deranged -- suing organizations that provide legal assistance to immigrants (especially immigrant children) -- and also we should see it as the test case for what the GOP wants to do.

this is so cool

every police department in the u.s.: “give us weapons of war, your entire municipal budget and qualified immunity!”

NEW: A judge in Washington has ruled that police images taken by Flock’s AI license plate-scanning cameras are public records that can be requested as part of normal public records requests. The decision highlights the sheer volume of the technology-fueled surveillance state in the US.

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

This is not the first time we've seen federal agents direct chemical agents indiscriminately at members of the public in Chicago. Not at people attacking them or even protestors, just people going on with their day. bsky.app/profile/roya...

Either my closed captioning translator is off, or Trent Reznor wrote the German national anthem.

my spouse keeps a tin of emergency googly eyes in the car, highly recommend

"Prompted their weapons to become visible" is some Olympic level copspeak.

This is absolutely insane

this article is spot on. gave me flashbacks to when i worked in a similar facility in texas. i left when an influx of teen boys left the shelter extremely violent, fistfights every night, one kid hospitalized. i was shoved while holding a baby. i didn’t last a year.

JUST IN: Soren Stevenson, who lost an eye due to a projectile fired by the police during the BLM protests of 2020 in Minneapolis, has won a seat on city council. @pascalsabino.bsky.social reported on his candidacy last month in a must-read: boltsmag.org/minneapolis-...

Flock Safety audit logs obtained and analyzed by EFF reveal that law enforcement agencies across the US have used language perpetuating harmful stereotypes against Romani people when searching the nationwide ALPR network. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...
