Call me crazy but you should be able to "traffic" drugs without getting a missile shot at you. You should also be able to do drugs without the threat of going to jail. Fuck this country.

My advice is that joy is also a form of wisdom.

“Yeah I’m in the band. I’m on stage right now. What? Yeah, sure!”

Are they going to release the weekly casualty list from the fighting in Portland, or is that affected by the shutdown too?

Happy Birthday, Mr. Buckingham

I'm sharing Ezra Klein's interview with Eno here, because, well, Eno. Even Ezra talks less in Eno's presence. Eno is so thoughtfully self-directed and just oozes sensibility about art and life here Bonus: Danny Hillis (the connection machine) name drop by Eno. Where is that dude now?

Apparently, Ready Kilowatt has a brother by a different father: Willie Wirehand

🎶I am cumin and I need to be loved Just like every other spice does 🎶

Digital sovereignty must be a key focus for all free societies in the next decade if democracy is going to survive this moment.

#tDB Sending some love to that Salt Lake City show (Wednesday 2025-08-27). It's very crafty and well executed and has multiple exceptional moments. That Jigsaw Earth opening set two! Mighta got overshadowed sandwiched between Ardmore residency and Pine Creek run

Pulled from this classic:

PTA making deep cuts in OBAA, you love to see it.

This sucks, because it doesn’t read as lighthearted in-joking about the culture of this site (which I would assume is probably your intent), it looks like poking at already-upset people who think you don’t care about the legitimate frustrations they’ve had about Bluesky.

Remembering the late great poet, blues scholar, jazz aficionado, MC5 manager, provocateur, & political prisoner John Sinclair, born this day in 1941 & died on April 2, 2024.

A smart account on here reposted this the other day, and it really resonates. Translation in alt text.

Five-over-ones are the workhorse solution in curbing soaring city rents. To get them built, cities should allow them as-of-right in commercial zones, relax or repeal restrictions on density, and do away with minimum parking requirements. [@garywinslett.bsky.social, The Rebuild]

Re-posting my Tuesday story on the imminent sale and likely destruction of government-owned murals by Ben Shahn and Philip Guston. The Trump administration is a cascade of emergencies; this one requires rapid mobilization by preservationists. Followup tomorrow. newrepublic.com/article/2010...

Despite recent years’ challenges, the 2025 BoroPride festivities, hosted by the Tennessee Equality Project, take place this weekend in Murfreesboro.

Advice I gave my kids: if you have friends and they say “wanna go see a show?” the right answer is always yes. You can go without eating for a few days.

This Day in Labor History: October 2, 1968. the Mexican military slaughtered students protesting in the Tlateloco Plaza at the edge of Mexico City. The Tlateloco Massacre demonstrated the complete corruption of the Mexican Revolution’s ideals!!!

The 🐐 (for me) Pink Floyd album turns 55 today.

Stop Exacerbate and Listen

Go Gen Z Madagascar

New York denizens: Dig this! "This sonically adventurous spatial work is realized as a concert installation in the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, where the audience is surrounded by a chamber orchestra and 50 micro-tuned pianos." So tempted to book a flight and get my ass there. Wanna hear!

Gary Larson actually visited Jane Goodall in Tanzania and got attacked by a famously belligerent chimp named Frodo: www.cracked.com/article_4363...

I really appreciated when Ta l-Nehisi Coates asked Klein, “But was silence not an option?” This. If there is one skill I’ve had to learn as a white dude, it’s knowing when it’s time to shut up or sit something out. I’m imperfect, of course, but getting better.

This is a really good conversation on "is it fascism," by two opponents who are no longer very far apart.

Nice read from last March’s IEEE Spectrum re Turing’s work on voice encryption. Tech sounds like a precursor to spread-spectrum. Anyway, chalk up another accomplishment for Team Q

my parents raised me NOT to be a pants-pissing wimp, which i believe represents right and proper American values

In @chron.com - This viral Houston Halloween display got online conservatives crazy angry. I went and spoke to the guy who put it up. A Mexican Houston native, he said he did it to protest Trump's immigration raids: "I believe in my freedom of speech." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

I'm doing photography and music today. If there's five songs you wished everyone would listen to at least once, what would they be?

You have to *CLICK FOR EMBIGGENATION*, but the outlooks are for above normal temps and below normal precip for all of OK, and drought development "LIKELY" for the SE two-thirds of the state through October. And then an ice storm for Halloween, because Oklahoma. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

I don't even care about fact-checking this because it's too good not to share anyway

I'll give this to Pete: he's working the democracy angle more than the you'll lose your health care angle, and more Ds oughta do that Still not sending him any money until he rebrands Win the Era to Win the Future (for starts). You gotta have gumption and a sense of humor, not consultant mind
