There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

Oh, The Cure's "Lovesong" for Valentine's Day? How obvious! unwoman.bandcamp.com/track/loveso... (day 28) We're coming up on a month of these so far and have barely scratched the surface. May my enormous (human-made) catalog and tiny income serve as proof that the world doesn't need AI slop.

And there's a tasty new #KMFDM album called Enemy. The vid linked below is for a song called YOÜ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AnG... Okay. I'm on my first playthrough and there's a reggae-ish (IKR ?!) reworking of Stray Bullet, originally released in '97. Whoa.

If you want to switch from Substack, I recommend the open-source @Ghost.org. It's where I host progressive blogs and avoid the 10% Substack fee. Here's my referal link to get started: ghost.org?via=robin28 www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Greatest traffic stop ever...

I'm trying to stave off despair and I think I need to start posting a song daily. I have enough released songs to cover the rest of the year. Let's start with "The Direction We Face," which opens my latest original album IF YOUR RAGE CAN'T BE BEAUTIFUL. unwoman.bandcamp.com/track/the-di...

"THE PARTY TOLD YOU TO REJECT THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR EYES AND EARS. IT WAS THEIR FINAL, MOST ESSENTIAL COMMAND." -GEORGE ORWELL, 1984

in 2026, we finally need to stop framing racism and misogyny, also disenfranchisement and marginalisation of trans, queer, disabled people as "oversights" and "ignorance" and fully grasp these are concentrated, planned efforts born out of a very conscious hatred and deepseated malice

HERE WE GO... IT’S @bandcamp.com FRIDAY! Will add things to the thread below once they’re up... 👇

Okay, Discord and Rhyme (aka @discordpod.bsky.social) is back. I've only just started listening to the episode about #Endtroducing by #DJShadow and I can already tell what a rabbit hole it is. Do yourselves a favor and check it out. It's a blast. discordpod.com/listen/170-d...

I was given occasion today to recall the immortal words of Orson Welles when he was asked about Elia Kazan: “Elia Kazan is a traitor. He is a man who sold to McCarthy all his companions at a time when he could continue to work in New York at high salary. And having sold all of his people…

In response to @maryb2004.bsky.social, Forbes looked at this topic in December: www.forbes.com/sites/andyme... The answer was for Bezos to double down on trust and relevance rather than doubling down on making WaPo obsolete.

Has anyone mentioned lately what a racket postnl is? Tell me what's wrong with this picture: The bit in the yellow block says: There are no postage stamps on this letter. I don't know about you, but I can see the stamp. Gotta pay 'cause it's my stepdad's birthday card, but it'll (obvs) be late.

Because the half of Milli Vanilli was up for a Grammy (best audiobook narration - theoretically performed in his own voice) lost out to the Dalai Lama. (And in what weird timeline but this one are Fab Morvan and His Holiness even *in* the same category?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuWX...

@ass.golf I was sure today's comic would include someone spouting the seven words you can't say on television in order. I am *mildly* disappointed.

Hey funny story! Remember how for like 20 years we said if you tell people to only study STEM that job market would tank & also no one would be able to think critically about rhetoric or ethics, know what happened at any point in history or value much but money? Man, I love that one. Cracks me up.

Hey folks! Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Join us for Leaves of Grass this month?

...but folks expect of the poet to indicate more than the beauty and dignity which always attach to dumb real objects... Yeah, the expectations of folks are the bane of poets, for certain. #log 🌿

The Some Bizarre page on FB notes that Coil's #Scatology LP was released on this date in 1985. That label's release might have been, but it came out in 1984. All of that said, I never need much excuse to share some #Coil... Here's Panic, that LP's only single. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ8d...

In advance of #AMonthOfGrass, and not at all apropos of #WaltWhitman and his wonderful poems, I would direct you to the weird and wonderful LP A Child's Garden of Grass... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayUJ... Did I mention that this LP has nothing to do with Leaves of Grass? Just checking. 🌿 #log

When you finish Ch. 135, remember this from the departure of the Pequod: Ship and boat diverged; the cold, damp night breeze blew between; a screaming gull flew overhead; the two hulls wildly rolled; we gave three heavy-hearted cheers, and blindly plunged like fate into the lone Atlantic. 🐋
