this is so hard, I'm going Fugazi- Red Medicine, Husker Du- Flip Your Wig, & Mission of Burma- Vs. I think? though I could easily put Zen Arcade or In on the Kill Taker for those bands, & if Minutemen's best album was here it'd be a lock. Gang of Four & Buzzcocks are hard to cut too....

no audio people are still the stupidest i forgot. at least all the cameras take pictures but people will tell you you need to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on audiophile cables that in fact do literally nothing. but second to them, it's camera people

the faux-AI evangelists see the artistic process as a race to get to a finished product, instead of something valuable in itself. the process is where you develop those skills you don't have yet, it cannot be skipped, it is where the art happens

One of the most anticipated upgrades in recent years, never released on VHS/DVD, here's a link for the restored version of Chantal Akerman's PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG GIRL IN THE LATE '60s IN BRUSSELS (1994). English subs resynched for this rip included. transfer.it/t/LQ8wHwxhGbSY

i think someone should steal all the TP from the apparently unguarded mens room

It would’ve been weirder if Woody Allen didn’t show up in the Epstein Files to be honest.

Wearing my @audreyotherway.bsky.social shirt and being grateful to @planetx.bsky.social for letting me know it exists

got a new TV for the first time in 8 years & god I couldn't believe the amount of settings I had to change to make it look not shit, even aside from the motion smoothing of it all

in order: purchasing on bandcamp, streaming or purchasing from qobuz, streaming from most other platforms (apple music, tidal, deezer, etc.), or pirating (if financially unable to afford other options) are all valid alternatives to supporting the spotify corporation.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

saw Hamnet last night & was too much of an asshole to appreciate the emotional parts (even though some of it was objectively goofy as hell). good acting & well made at least but damn the premise & script were not it

thom yorke singing idioteque completely offbeat is fucking killing me. real life shreds

@audreyotherway.bsky.social I was so happy to donate to your top surgery recovery, and the shirt looks great on my own top surgery 😌 can’t wait to slash the sleeves directly off hehe

Thank you to @audreyotherway.bsky.social for making this incredible shirt. I don’t, and I’m not.

Don't know if you'd be interested in a bit of work on Saturday 1st July, they're booking people to roam around in wild animal costumes uptown.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai. I interviewed and was star struck by him twice. Once was on stage at the Museum of the Moving Image after a screening of the paranoid spy comedy AGE OF ASSASSINS, and once was for @ebertvoices.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/interviews/a...

There's definitely a coalition of Trumpists, propagandized centrists, & Harry Potter adults who absolutely HATE trans people. If you're only encountering one of these groups in the wild, you're (maybe) okay, but all three? There's a reason trans women are unemployed at astronomical rates right now.

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!

if homestuck is the war & peace of the internet in the 2010s marijuana simpson is the moby-dick

Change in Headline

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

going back to ringing the bell that Trump's win in 2024 wasn't because of a huge cultural shift to the right, especially among young voter blocks that went for him, as much as it was a general frustration with Biden, with centrism, and with the lack of a clearly articulated positive vision from dems

I was rooting for the Jays in the World Series obviously as a fan of humanity but Ohtani was very correct to say all of this. best bottled tea experience out there

Possession (1981) is both one of the best movies I've seen recently, just an intense & devastating masterpiece, AND a great reminder that I am too much of a baby to watch horror movies lol I want to hide under a blanket for the rest of my life

did not expect to be saying this but the Philadelphia 76ers have incredible vibes & are undefeated?? last year we started 2-14 but this year it's all hustle, young guys having so much fun, erasing huge leads every night

oh my GODDDDDDDDDDD (apologies for screenshotting the hellsite, which I no longer use; I saw the link in CNN's Reliable Sources newsletter)

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

VJ Edgecombe just scored the most points anyone has had in an NBA debut since the 1950s. Tyrese Maxey dropped 40 points. The Sixers won. Good times! THE RECAP @PHLY_Sports allphly.com/vj-edgecombe...

SIXERS WIN‼️

Maybe its just me but the whole “hey white people show off your nazi phase” apologia thing thats happening is weird as shit because it shows what kind of heinous shenanigans you’ll accept and people are 100% right to judge you for it

I mean I'm on board with this, I just feel like they shouldn't start building anything new after they demolish it

tfw you drink multiple times from a water fountain & then see a sign saying "please don't drink from this because it's bad" directly over it
