NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman on rockets crashing into the moon: "It's not a big deal right now. The moon has clearly seen better days."

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...

Maddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

Today was Pasadena flea market day and it may have been my lightest haul yet. But I got a solar powered calculator so that’s pretty cool.

The Boys of Dungeon Lane - Paul McCartney Japanese black vinyl with obi strip I added this to my collection of vinyl variants of this album today. #NowSpinning #VinylCollection #PaulMcCartney

Kick - INXS 1987 Specialty Records pressing New Sensation Devil Inside Need You Tonight Mediate Never Tear Us Apart Mystify #NowSpinning #VinylCollection

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret- Soft Cell 1981 release and pressing Tainted Love is one of the great songs of the early 1980s. Sex Dwarf was on the playlist at BeetleHouse LA at its original location & I would occasionally pop in for a drink when on my record store walks. #NowSpinning #VinylCollection

Physical - Olivia Newton John 1981 release and pressing Physical is among my favorite songs of hers and one I adored as a kid. Overall it feels like an underrated album. Make A Move On Me is also such a great pop song. #NowSpinning #VinylCollection

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday Almost forgot: Mortal Kombat 2 - fun sequel Thrashin’ - like if you mixed Lost Boys & Karate Kid but instead of vampires and karate you have skateboarding MoTU - OK but strayed a tad too far from the cartoon Stick It - Jeff Bridges as a gymnastics coach YES

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? I witnessed Doc from Gunsmoke as a shady lawyer, puzzled over Ian McKellen being too old for a role by decades (but enjoyed it anyway), solved the mystery of a Wu-Tang Clan favorite, & felt the summer heat with an erotic thriller. #Letterboxd

Periodic reminder that JK Rowling is an evil bigot and there’s no ethical way to spend money on HP merchandise that ultimately gets used for her campaign of hate and bigotry.

1. Amnesty International has withstood threats from death squads and dictators. But it could not stand up to JK Rowling and the anti-trans movement she finances. It has apologized for calling those groups "anti-rights" after legal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Periodic reminder: THE FAR RIGHT INVENTED CANCEL CULTURE and engage in it still today more than any other demographic. There were Beatles album burnings in the 60s over an off the cuff comment about Jesus by John Lennon.

…But Seriously - Phil Collins Original 1989 pressing This isn’t an easy one to come by so I ran out during my lunch break today to snag it. The quieter songs expose flaws in the condition so I’ll still be on the lookout but at least I have something. #NowSpinning #vinylcollection #PhilCollins

Hey! So, this has gotten worse! I previously shared here that Acton and her campaign were set to meet with the ODP Progressive Caucus leadership on the 28th. That's today, and it was a worst case scenario. (1/?)

1. In major news, the Ohio Dem Party has banned the Progressive Caucus from criticizing candidate for Gov. Amy Acton's transphobia. It has now applied more pressure to quiet criticism of anti-trans politics than it has on its own nominee to stop embracing them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

right, this isn't "well you're spending money on a shitty megacorp" basically every dollar she gets these days goes directly to funding this stuff it's hard to get people to connect "buying a toy wand from the kid wizard book" with trans genocide but that doesn't make it less true

Sebas@ohlookbirdies.bsky.social · last wk.

Yeah, I've been trying to get through to a lot of people about that, I'm not "cancelling someone because I disagree with her opinions," I'm explaining that every time you go see the Harry Potter play or buy a pair of Hufflepuff socks, you are personally directly funding a hate campaign

one of the most frustrating things about what Rowling has turned into is how hard it is to explain to offline people that she’s not just another author who has turned out to have shitty views - her entire life and fortune is dedicated to destroying trans people

Projection so powerful, you could screen the Odyssey in 70MM IMAX from it.

The Beat of the Statler Beothers Volume II - The Statler Brothers 1979 release and pressing Might as well give Bolume 2 a spin now. #NowSpinning #VinylCollection

The Best of The Statler Brothers 1975 release and pressing I heard a lot of Statler Brothers as a kid growing up so sometimes I like to put on a record or two on a Sunday afternoon. Flowers On the Wall had a mini-comeback via Pulp Fiction. #NowSpinning #VinylCollection

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Live / 1975-85 1986 5 LP box set I grabbed this one today while out for a Saturday walk. #NowSpinning #VinylCollection

Introducing…The Beatles - The Beatles Contains most of the tracks from Please Please Me Per Discogs this is a 1964 counterfeit copy. If the info on @discogsofficial.bsky.social is correct there were A LOT of counterfeits of this album and both of mine are counterfeit #NowSpinning #VinylCollection

Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys 1986 mono reissue Brian Wilson’s masterpiece. Sited by Paul McCartney as the best album of all time. It contains my favorite Beach Boys song, God Only Knows. I had wanted a 80s or earlier pressing and found one in great condition last year. #NowSpinning #VinylCollection

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday A mixed bag this week. Two I really enjoyed: a Complete Unknown was very good and A Walk In the Clouds was a nice romance movie. Slims was a giant meh. I really wanted to like Daytrippers because of the cast but it fell flat with me.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? I toasted to Chuck Laughton & Elsa Lanchester, celebrated Kurosawa's infinitely magnificent actioner, came for Karl Urban's Johnny Cage antics but stayed for Adeline Rudolph's heroine journey as Kitana, & sat in on an old card game. #Letterboxd

It’s maddening how much static is on some of my records right now. I might have to have to break down and try one of those anti static guns.

Face Value - Phil Collins 1981 Specialty pressing I grew up on the urban legend he wrote In The Air Tonight about a childhood friend who let their other friend drown even though he could swim and Phil couldn’t and he had him seated at the front row to sing it to him. #NowSpinning #VinylCollection
