It’s actually pretty fucked up that there’s a type of gasoline called Blue Planet
did any of these explanations entice reviewers? No, no they did not
We watched Dead Calm on Saturday night and Jurassic Park Sunday. I know it’s a coincidence, but just in case, we’re putting Home Alone 2 on next

Feels like the appropriate occasion for a little poem. This one is called “freedom is an ersatz ring”
Humbly submitted for your ‘incendiary indie songs for the struggle’ playlist, if you happen to be brewing one up

I would argue that people are allowed to travel to places in order to protest things
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTom Homan on Delaney Hall: "These are paid protesters. We've got facial recognition of people from Portland and many from Minnesota. This isn't home grown."
The was this app’s following feed works means you can tell an ongoing story over an arbitrary length of time in a single thread, because every time you add to it the original post comes back onto the feed. I would like to find the storytellers who are already doing this.
another song out into the big churning world, a song against the technofascist paramilitary end times grifter capitalist joyless disenfranchising gilded-outhouse order of things, a song for humans let’s let our hearts shine aloysius.bandcamp.com/album/tangoi...

My kids were bothered that I was jaywalking so I simply informed them that jaywalking laws are bullshit invented by car lobbyists to criminalize the use of public roads and ensure the primacy of cars, and that car primacy directly helped usher in a new era of isolation,
Every day this admin is showing us how good it could always be. It could always be this good. This could just be how we govern and are governed.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2mo agoYoung people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?
hard to imagine a more worthy use of a near-century tethered to this earth than how Sonny spent it. rest in power legend
Sonny Rollins@thesonnyrollins.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2
If I were a Senator who was tear-gassed by ICE, I would spend every hour of the rest of my time in office figuring out new ways to abolish ICE.
We Minnesotans know well that we’re dealing with an irreformable institution. Abolish ICE, dismantle the DHS, oh and fuck the cops forever too, George Floyd should be alive, happy god damn Memorial Day
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 2mo agoThank you, @kim.senate.gov @andykimnj.bsky.social for putting yourself on the line. Please join the call to ABOLISH ICE and work to defund and abolish the agency entirely.
“Billion dollar bunker budget” might have one of the highest fun to say / shitty to exist ratios of all time

Accidentally started an Umberto Eco book club on Threads lmk if you want in
In celebration of this go-live I’m putting out my new single there early; you can get it today, 5/12, ahead of regular streaming release 6/5. This winter was a tragedy and a farce and a storm of jackbooted shit here in Minneapolis, but we came through it with strength and community and fierce joy.

Doing that to Naz Reid? In this town? We have a new villain
CJ Fogler@cjzero.bsky.social · 3mo agoWemby elbows Naz Reid in the face, he was given a flagrant 2 and ejected
Look I’m sorry, I spent all day telling everyone there was no way the Wolves could play any worse than they did in game 2 but of course they took it as a challenge
It’s not our job to convince you to do your fucking job. We will just find other people to do the job.
Michael@fleerultra.bsky.social · 3mo agoi think the fact that we are STILL in the position that we, the democratic base, have to convince a bunch of recalcitrant senators to do things like ditch the filibuster, admit DC and PR (if they want it) as states, and, most importantly, reform SCOTUS, identifies all my problems with the party
It sucks to bear witness to a historical unraveling of democracy and the slopification of all vectors of human thought, but I will say this: we are in the golden age of guitar pedals
Can’t actually believe we’re back at “it’s not racist unless we tell you, hey, we are doing racism” Very tired of rule by six robed fools.
insane every blue state in the country needs to pack their own state Supreme Court immediately if the unelected law wizards want to make donald trump a god-king with a 30% approval rating their power must be broken at every level
Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · 3mo agoBREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect.
