Holy shit.
Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.
"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."
This is getting out of control.

Got the news this morning. Absolutely fucking tragic. Tim built something beautiful that changed countless lives, brought joy to thousands, and valorized the legacy of major artists overlooked by big media.
A staggering loss for the ska music community. It was an honor to know and work with him. 💔

Here is another photo of Jeff Rosenstock giving the drone a stern talking-to about the surveillance state.

Katie captured what was maybe THE moment of the festival.
I feel like this is gonna make it around the internet w/out attribution so, like, if you steal it, just make sure you say it came from me. And tell me. None of the pro photogs were up there for this but one came running, talking into a radio saying, "I have eyes on the drone."

This was probably my favorite song of Supernova. Maaaybe it was the mushrooms but the way they arranged it live and the way Sean hit the vocals made it so impactful and moody. I can't wait to watch this set on the replay.

Supernova is so special. Getting to see acts like Stranger Cole or Derrick Morgan (who performed sitting in a giant throne) makes me feel so lucky to be around right now.

It’s been 53 years since the US backed military coup of Allende’s government in Chile. A democratically elected socialist was attacked. the fascist Pinochet took power and then tortured, arrested and killed socialists and teachers and labor leaders around the country.

Yeah, I listen to two kinds of music: ska and Chat Pile.
It's Friday. The boys had some juicy gossip going on that was interrupted by a call from my wife to talk about England plans.
Also, the new Chat Pile is out and it's really good
