Tom Petty’s estate did more to condemn homophobia and hate crimes than the San Antonio Police Department and the official King of the Hill page Hate motivated violence deserves extra condemnation

Jesus, I see what you’ve done for other people and

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Okay the Epstein post is enough for me to think that this split is real. You can't really come back from that I don't think.

This is me. My husband is walking around oblivious, I will get to tell him about all of this and then read the greatest hits on the TL.

Being Bluesky's Biggest Killer Tomatoes fan, I must say that David Koechner is the most "oh duh, of course" possible casting here.

Stop making me miss Boston/Cambridge

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

1000 Great Songs #1000: Ill Fated. Wrapping up my 1000-day journey with supergroup Golden Smog offering some amiable pop-Americana, Soul Asylum meeting Wilco in the park for a pleasant, comfortable hang. One of those perfect songs for when friends drop by for a drink.

To the best of my knowledge, Richard Edson is the only member of Sonic Youth so far to be immortalized in an action figure.

Apparently they changed the Cookie Crisp mascot two decades ago and I've just been made aware. I am somehow upset about this? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_...

You know what? I do believe this.

“In a motion to dismiss the Schmidkneckt’s lawsuit, Optum Rx expressed ‘its deepest sympathies’ for Cole’s death and said federal law prohibits the case from being brought in state court.”

This is horrific.

Ooh, based on its Facebook page, the long-running offbeat culture site Dangerous Minds is about to get an ace redesign. Screams pulp and punk zine.

The actual elephant in the actual room. Wow.

The Paul Reubens documentary destroyed me. Beautifully done.

This discriminatory policy is beyond shameful. Just like his first Muslim Ban, this latest announcement flies in the face of basic morality and goes directly against our values. This racist policy will not make us safe, it will separate families and endanger lives. We cannot let it stand.

I think most people are able to understand why it would scan as or even be outright antisemitic to demand a US Jew delineate their views on Israel but rarely is it ever said, apparently, that this constant barrage of questions towards a Muslim about Israel might too be motivated by racism.

I am so excited about the Killer Tomatoes franchise returning. This means so much to me. I am genuinely happy about this.

FUN FACT: John Astin, famous for playing Gomez Addams, is a practicing Buddhist!

This is the one piece of good news today!

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

Jesus fucking christ Muslim Ban 2. Back to the airports do not leave, do not let the lawyers convince you it can be beaten in court Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Oooof - this. this is a deep part of the national illness. From the beginning.

it's wild to me that some old cishet pervert wrote a whole fetishistic scoring system for how valid trans people were, mostly based on whether or not he found them fuckable, & the entire medical community was just like "thank you Ray Blanchard, very cool, we will use this for 20 years"

Ah, I see that the "discount egg shopper" and "economic anxiety" crowd still approve of this admin's immigration policies. 91% of Trump voters approve of his immigration policies. 91%. And the majority of white US people, voters or not, 56%, approve of these immigration policies. Embarrassing.

It is amazing how many Dems insist that Dems have done things they absolutely never did, but which Republicans insisted they did.

The Tobe Hooper/Steven Spielberg team-up “Poltergeist” (released on this day in 1982) remains one of the latter’s most fascinating works, both revisiting and subverting his recurring preoccupations. crookedmarquee.com/classic-corn...

When my wife found out about Jonathan Joss, she cried and hugged me and told me she'd take a bullet for me too. It absolutely shatters my heart to know that I live in a world where that's not unlikely. Every bit of this story is an abominable injustice. Do not forget.

Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime

Every time I think I understand how depressing it must be to exist as a woman on the Internet (or for that matter in life), I see something like this and realise no, it's even worse than that.

Some folks reading this really want me to shut up about my former friend, collaborator, & employer Amanda Palmer perpetrating various forms of harm over the years. All due respect, fuck you. Here is Scarlett’s response to AFP’s motion to dismiss: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We really need to start caring about lying, as a society
