I did not realize The Durutti Column were such a sonic outlier to Factory Records' reputation for post-punk and electronics, but at @treblezine.bsky.social I explain how it's a welcome diversion.

With the Olympian/reflecting pool case dropped, a question for US lawyers: are there criminal penalties lawyers face for malicious and/or incompetent prosecution, especially with frequency or at scale? Can immoral, unethical, or unskilled jurisprudence trigger more than just disbarment?
I know Spirit of Halloween gets memed and mocked to death in social media, BUT… TIL that when its flagship store has its “grand opening” for the shopping season leading to Halloween, it’s a party event with 1000s of RSVPs that sell out. They literally have to tell people not to camp out for it.
Spirit Halloween conjures up spooky season in EHT with flagship celebration - Shore Local Newsmagazine
The air will buzz with chainsaw-wielding maniacs, towering monsters, eerie music and the delighted screams of Halloween fans as Spirit Halloween throws open

Are any of y’all sellers of used vinyl/CDs from your own collections? Curious about your SOPs for shipping, especially: - what your US mailing method is - your preferred mailing supplies - how much US$ for shipping you tack on above purchase price per item (or per order)
Maybe Mitch McConnell is alive, but they’re only releasing photos because video would reveal he either (a.) can’t move or (b.) can’t speak.
Hi, I like The Sundays. You like The Sundays? You might like this other band called atmos bloom. They just put out an album called ‘Everythingness.’ It reminds me of The Sundays. Maybe it’ll do the same for you. atmosbloom.bandcamp.com/album/everyt...

The worst part about Trump’s “2028” joke at the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner is that he and his people have been making it FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF.
I’m just a Marvel casual, so forgive me if I’m just realizing that Nebula is a “ship of Theseus.”
A reminder that UC _faculty_ and Faculty Associations — not the universities themselves nor their administrators — are waging this battle in court, demonstrating great bravery and moral clarity.

Reckless, juvenile, performative idiot in too much makeup.
Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:
Disappointed that Democrats aren’t reading the room when it comes to the death of Lindsey Graham. It’s okay to say nothing. You don’t have to shit-talk like Trump, but maybe don’t celebrate Graham’s “public service” that too often compromised the well-being of his constituents—and maybe yours, too.

The Federalist website’s response to today’s SCOTUS ruling on birthright citizenship seems… aggressive. And while it’s not FedSoc itself, it should be noted that Stephen Miller and Lauren Boebert are already parroting some of this bullshit.
