Live Nation is swimming in money that they stole from artists and fans. That they would pretend they need to do cost cutting measures is just insulting.

“Music publications BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine have been gutted by parent company Veeps... Nearly all the staff at each publication appear to have been laid off yesterday. Veeps, which is now owned by Live Nation, acquired the publications in 2024 or 2025”

Noise. Pollution. The Ozone Layer. Acid Rain. AIDS treatment. Cancer cures. Crime rates. Child abductions. As much as we consume doom and gloom in our media, humans are very, very good at solving problems when we want to. We just have to want to.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

dorian @doriantaylor.com air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*? like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*? 2:58 PM Aug 4, 2026

In the United States, on January 20, 2025, the air, the food, the medicine, the water were all as clean and pure and safe as they have ever been in this country. Yeah, sure, there were and are real problems, and our army of nerds in lab coats devoted to solving them was the envy of the world.

You actually don't have to do the "well, you know, I disagree with MAHA but they're right that there are real problems with The System" thing. That's a concession you absolutely do not have to make.

What does the establishment do if socialism manages not only to overcome the obstacle of its branding, but becomes a political *asset*? What if people *want* it? What if it’s smug satisfied centrism that is the political liability? Whatever else, it’s gonna make Bill Maher’s head pop like a zit.

Is a socialist candidate electable in a purple state? A modestly interesting question. A more interesting question: what if socialist candidates, despite facing opposition from their own party, not only win, but overperform? What if the moderate assumption of themselves as “electable” is exposed?

Anyway. Like I said, I didn’t want to ignore something like this after having said such glowing things about Glen a few days ago, and at the same time I want to throw down a marker on the position that there’s a fuckton of gray area between “I adore this guy” and “I reject him and all his works”

I get the sense that a lot of people feel on some level that there must be a way to optimize things to the point where there’s a Good Option where no one has to suffer anything and it’s like… No, no, sometimes the best available option that does the least damage still sucks ass, welcome to adulthood

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d ago

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

I’m reposting this because I think it’s important, and I’m also not going to delete any of the shit I said right after he died. I said it and I felt it, and to be frank I *still* feel a lot of it, and deleting it would feel dishonest on a number of levels. Just want to be clear about that

I despise Substack and have previously said I will never read it (and I don't). But I will break my rule just for this eally disturbing piece of writing by Neko Case, who was / is in a band, The New Pornographers, who were supported by The Frames in 2002. nekocase.substack.com/p/in-what-fu...

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"
