That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

You Holiness Pope Leo XIV, I have a proposition for you: if you excommunicate JD Vance I will come out of spiritual retirement and re-Catholicize. That way your numbers stay they are. I don’t want to put a clock on it, but I’d prefer sooner rather than later
some of our neighbors are hosting a javanese orchestra to play for the sunday parkways bike ride that's going by later today. i hope they don't get rained on, this stuff looks expensive
Me at the A24 board meeting: We’ve got a brand beloved by young hip people and cinefiles, basically synonymous with “good taste” and “artistic vision,” in a time where both are hard to come by. What if we flushed that in the fucking toilet for a bit of money?
Manisha Krishnan@manishakrishnan.bsky.social · last mo.A24 is collaborating with Google DeepMind as AI companies are deepening their ties to Hollywood—and struggling with a crisis of taste. We asked the studio about the backlash: www.wired.com/story/a24-kn...
There’s a lot of things wrong with Streets of Fire but the biggest part is that there’s only like two Jim Steinman songs in it instead of like twelve.
Soooo...please don't buy tickets from third party sellers. I know everything is a scam now so it's easy to get confused but make sure when you are buying tickets to a show that it is 1) listed on the band and/or venue's web site and 2) you use the link to buy only from those sites.

Annie Zaleski@anniezaleski.bsky.social · 2mo agoOne of my favorite things ever is randomly hearing a song in a completely inappropriate or incongruous place. I’ll start: I once heard Rupert Holmes’ “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” blasting from an empty airport gate.
The only characteristic of Trump that I find personally relatable is his extreme contempt for evangelicals that support Trump
Helen Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · 3mo agoTrump couldn’t be bothered to attend. He sent a video. But he couldn’t be bothered to record a new one so they sent an old video he recorded for a previous event.

If I could convey one minor thing that caused unease to a younger version of myself or maybe just to the youths of today: You never EVER have to justify your music tastes to anybody. Like what you like and if anybody gives you shit for it, fuck ‘em.
You don’t hate country music, you just hate the same 100 songs of bootlicking corporatized trash about saluting the flag while drinking a beer in your truck at a football game next to your pretty silent wife in daisy dukes who also knows how to fish.
