Song rules, it rules

I don't think politicians should say "people will die" without explaining what they're doing to stop/minimize that

Hello, my friends Hello, my friends Come in, have a seat Come on in my kitchen My friends, take it easy My friends, have a seat My friends, don't you know that I never Want this minute to end? And then it ends

Re-upping this. \

We really have loved and laughed and learned here on our voyage of mockery of Charlie Kirk, but sometimes you really do just gotta hand it to ISIS: Trump outdid us all, and by orders of magnitude.

It should be noted for anyone with good fortune not to know such things: Fuentes LOATHED Kirk, to the point that I am still amazed Robinson wasn’t one of his fanboys.

Not sure it's possible to find a more canonical example of this meme

No lie detected! It’s meaningless but it’s not a lie!

We had clergy front and center in 2017. Religion, like any other good thing created by humans (art, science, so on) can be perverted. But it, like art, like science, can be a vehicle for the best of humanity.

Who says Irish Catholics can’t get along with Presbyterians? Politics divide us in Ireland, but politics bring us together in the US. It’s not about our faith. It’s the politics.

Christians have a lot to apologize for. We carry a burden of responsibility for all the harm our faith has done, and is still doing. We need examples like this to remind us of our responsibility.

From heaven, the sound of a perforated palm meeting a forehead.

Did you SEE his carotid artery it was the size of a goddamn baby’s arm

I saw this duck and I stopped dying THIS IS NO JOKE

Had no idea WVIR 29 is a Nexstar station. And I had no idea what Nexstar, or how they are as bad or worse than Sinclair. (h/t @lcrl1961.bsky.social) www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

"Chief Trumpster" spends a thread talking about how much of a scumbag I am for making fun of Charlie Kirk's impromptu improvisation of a tracheotomy, tagging all sorts of other dingbats, and then, in its own post, the cherry on top of the MAGA Sewage Sundae:

Something that occurs to me: the staffers dread going to work because they feel the company has let them down, and not because they think they're going to get shot.

I live for this shit

Hard to reckon sometimes with the fact that @averysafecat.bsky.social and I have been doing this for 25 years, but really it is the sound of our friendship and interests colliding that is Grand Banks itself. It is a place of possibility for the things we need to occur. We are lucky to have it.

Many things are difficult & sad these days but one must celebrate life being different & full of things worth doing. As he notes here, this set is probably about as comprehensive a version, at least recently, of whatever it is we do. 25 years in and counting: grand-banks.bandcamp.com/album/grand-...

The fact that Charlie Kirk was viewed as some kind of a Titan of free speech and debate shows a bizarre trend where it somehow became acceptable for adult non student conservatives to invade college campuses and talk about why women and black people shouldn’t have basic civil liberties

Every word builds to a fascinating conclusion.

Immediate blocks for anyone I see on here posting BE PEACEFUL while people are hit with tear gas and shot with rubber bullets.

It literally still is though

Neither of my parents were into music at all, so I’m about to make him listen to ELO.

If this guy was black he’d be dead within 18 months. Weird things seem to happen to black people who look cool while resisting fascism.

friday night 🕺 🪩

The thread makes excellent points on a variety of topics.

Not gonna say that today is a complete ass sandwich. Just heard a recording of Grand Banks' set at Paw Paw Daze and it does everything I always wanted Grand Banks to do, even back in the sheets of feedback days. But: we're saying goodbye to Cherry in the next couple of days.

this is absolutely wild the court *sua sponte* dismisses the case for violating Rule 8(a) so that means the court, all on its own, looked at the complaint and said it's too long, too scattershot, too arbitrary to even count as a complaint. *never* seen this happen to a private party with counsel.

Wrote about the Kimmel firing, which felt like a dam breaking. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Trump: “What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it.” Well, credit where it’s due. When he’s right, which happens very infrequently and always by accident, he’s right.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

We like Dracula now

This is another one of those quotes that's going to show up on whatever equivalent to AP History that Alpha Centurii has. There will be no AP History here. It will be redacted and updated regularly and uploaded directly from the brain of President Barron to ours.

Oh! Well we like Schumer again then. Who wants ice cream. (h/t to @faeelin.bsky.social for calling and asking).

All of this has happened before and it will happen again. www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

Time to bring back pirate radio

Not only is there a pitch for a Nimona sequel, but creator ND Stevenson has some thoughts about a book sequel, as well.

Do you like the things that hurt you most? Tell me about your drugs Do you wish you were somebody else? Tell me about your drugs But you wake up and you're still yourself Talking about your drugs Ah, we get messed up by forces that we just don't understand

guess we finally found out who dem leadership feels is worth sticking up for

Fuck *sharp inhalation* YOOOOOOOOUUUU wjla.com/news/local/w...

Coincidentally, you can do this for your art as well. Spotify wants to feed you 24/7 AI-riddled playlist slop. Go see bands live. Go to shows where you've never heard of the musicians. Buy their crap. Pay an extra buck on yr Bandcamp purchases if you can.

Neither statements have anything to do with Rev. Dr. King or Bonhoeffer and everything to do with the paucity of virtue in the sumps where Wallace and Metaxas swim. This is who they have: this sack of last year's summer squash, now far more useful in death than ever before.

Andrew, you oughta resemble Charlie Kirk more. Work on that.
