It's almost 10 years old, but I'm still very proud of this record I made with a bunch of fine friends. I've made lots of music over the years, & proud of it all, but this was a real collaborative project that was a good reflection of everyone in the band

Never let them forget: They hunted the vice president to kill him. They built a gallows on the Capitol lawn. They assaulted police officers with flagpoles and bear spray, and they tried to seize the presidency for Donald Trump.

At a CCSD School Board mtg, our member Amanda Nuchols, a woman who is an amazing leader & activist, stood up for trans rights. One School Board member, Lorena Biassotti, wore an anti-trans shirt. Lorena is a coward and hater. This is what courage looks like. This is what activism looks like.

So if @nedraggett.bsky.social @drownedinsound.bsky.social & other music journalists want a story to chase, AI slop farms camping out on older band names seems to be a thing? Or maybe it's been written about & I didn't notice?

I love this essay, not only because it affirms some of what I thought were the film's themes (allegory for the current moment in America, shattering of norms) but points out other ways the Nolan is using art as social commentary that I didn't pick up on, but make sense in context.
This piece by Jeff Yang (aka @originalsp.in) was so satisfying to edit. It covers different aspects of The Odyssey and contextualizes them as examples of political filmmaking through allegory—the tale of a 21st century empire reeling from karmic blowback. www.rogerebert.com/features/the...

The decision of so many people to keep using X in its race-war phase has made me a bit more cynical overall about the ability to draw moral red lines. It’s beyond disappointing.

Every single fucking time the question “how did this get worse,” the answer is motherfucking private equity.”
Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories
