Gentlest of reminders that I worked on a new music video, the first for the upcoming album: m.youtube.com/watch?v=0q9F...

Dear ones, keep writing. Keep making music. Keep making knowledge. We need your voices so much right now.

ICE advanced again, started firing at photographers/press intentionally. Took a nasty lick to the face, unsure if pepper ball or rubber bullet.

The soldiers who liberated and occupied Wounded Knee in 1973 will all be given medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled.

I really enjoyed James K. A. Smith's review of "Why Christians Should Be Leftists" by @philipchristman.bsky.social on @christiancentury.bsky.social . Looking forward to reading the book! www.christiancentury.org/books/christ...

Dan Akyroyd in Sneakers voice: “Bots on BlueSky are going up”

last night I stumbled across a 2015 live cover of "Handle With Care" by the Traveling Willburys. It's so good I have to share. Brandon Flowers, Britt Daniel, Dhani Harrison (George Harrison's son), Wayne Coyne & "Weird Al” Yankovic www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP1k...

Shout out to the fellow parent at ballet class tonight who appreciated my Dismemberment Plan shirt - maybe the studio will finally listen to us when we suggest “The Face of the Earth” as a great ballet song

OUR BATHROOM MIRRORS ARE VITAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

European cities don't hold a monopoly on pairing urban density with good options for transit/biking/walking -- we've got examples here in Atlanta! Here's Tech Square in Midtown today. What a beautiful sight. Let's see more of this!

really good emo album that sounds like it was released in 1998, but it was in fact released this year firstdayback.bandcamp.com/album/forward

Happy 5 year anniversary to maybe the most underrated Sufjan LP: m.youtube.com/watch?v=3fCd...

Look what we have here then.

I grew up in Oklahoma and my mom worked in public ed her whole life; many friends are teachers, and I was a state-college professor for a decade Oklahoma used to be known for its education - and they legacy remains in the many winsome and quality teachers that remain there to this day

If I had to rank the Goo… 10. Stop the World 9. Name 8. Cuz You’re Gone 7. Eyes Wide Open 6. Iris 5. Big Machine 4. Naked 3. Dizzy 2. Here is Gone 1. Black Balloon

Who’s up also watching the Goo Goo Dolls Behind the Music?

Ok one last time for the evening folks - new video - can’t escape the video - grew up with 120 Minutes and 106 and Park and Behind the Music and - anyways I’m old and still like videos and this is one:

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

I realize it’s strange to release music or whatever and be noisy about it alongside being noisy about generational atrocities and decay but my little corner of privilege is wedged in “culture” so that’s where I start, or:

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

On 60 Songs etc etc @harvilla.bsky.social calls Glenn Kotche “animal if he was into Salvador Dalí instead of ‘RENOIR!’” And it’s genuinely wonderful and (seriously) great music criticism - multiple layers of allusion and also respectfully alludes to the mop hair Wilco had ca. 2002

Buc-ee's sucks, and for very specific reasons in s. georgia

While I like Girard, and find him valuable, and of course think the right-wing adoption of him is perplexing, I also feel very similarly about right-wing appropriations of Dostoevsky - rarer, but sometimes easier to see how/why they try to distort him towards their black hole

warm yr eyeballs for tomorrow morning

If I have to pick a favorite MxPx tune though it’s this one: m.youtube.com/watch?v=B-HR...

This video (with Andy on guitar!) qualifies specifically as Magnified Plaid: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ASRn...

CHOTINER: And you said you’ve had trouble sleeping. ME: I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything. CHOTINER: But you also said that you stare at the horrors, as you call them, online all day. Surely you’ve seen the studies that staring at your phone before bed… ME: Hold on just a second.

you probably remember, like me, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright “God Damn America” thing and man was he correct

We’ll always have Choo Choo Chelf and Weeden 2 Blackmon

Absolutely the best in the game

then again, it's hard to talk me out of total depravity when there's ICE

double condemnation b/c this pastor was a very informed & intelligent calvinist - so, when i was learning to read theology i studied calvinism a lot, and of course saw how wack it was, and made sure to say so but his son and i were in a punk band for a bit, that was cool
