True story!

This really annoys me. I have hammer toes and can't walk very far. I'm not trying to game any system, I have a disability.

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible. But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas. If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Is the latest iPhone operating system aesthetically appealing? No. But is it useful? Also no. At least I have company among the disgruntled. www.wired.com/story/phone-...

Unbelievably, it's been 25 years since we lost Kirsty MacColl yet the beauty of her music and her memory still resonate. Here's a song I wrote for her to sing in the 1995 movie 'Mad Love'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWjl...

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

RIP Gil Gerard

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it. Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy That year is almost up Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

Really feeling this today. #EverythingIsGrim

My @bigtakeover.com interview with Nelson Bragg (Big Stir Records)

Someone was looking for a reason to be outraged.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

NEW: @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom just deployed @caloes.bsky.social fire and rescue resources — including 150 personnel — to Washington state to support flood response efforts.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

Interview | Songe Just released via @cruelnaturerecs.bsky.social, Songe's debut LP, Daughters, awakens the listener with ambient soundscapes awash with darker noise and haunting folk. Elise Price spoke to band members Phoebe and Ëlle to find out more. bit.ly/SingSonge

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.” really important thread ⬇️

Boo to censorship!

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

40 years ago today the world was introduced to a small boy and his best friend. Happy birthday Calvin & Hobbes.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

TONIGHT, and all weekend, we're spinning up Puremoon, Adiós Cometa, Nossiennes, Sister Ray Davies, Dog At The Opera, Glaze, Deer Fang, Janelane, Silk Daisys, Glish, Memory Motel, Present, sea lemon, The Stargazer Lilies and more! 💖

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Rachel Maddow: “Donald Trump has never been more unpopular than he is right now. His disapproval rating is higher than it was in the immediate aftermath of January 6th. 63% disapprove, only 37% approve of Trump. He is 26 points underwater. That’s astonishing”
