borders and states aren’t real, anybody who wants to stroll into the U.S. should be able to do so whenever they want, I don’t fuckin care

A side problem w/sharing screenshots of Trmp/Msk posts is that so many of them are fake so I have to assume they all are which means there's even less point to people sharing them. So, uh, don't.

In solidarity I am working on a flotilla myself today (flotilla is my nickname for flour tortilla)

@nightafternight.bsky.social you just got a shout out from JG Thirlwell on WFMU for inspiring him to publish lists of songs he’s been listening to every month

New Stereolab album has moved from “seems pretty good” to “is pretty great” in my internal rankings.

I was recently a guest on The Spindle Podcast! We talked about the Who!

On the latest ep of the Spindle @johnhoward66.bsky.social and I welcome our guest Who fanatic @tarfumes.bsky.social for a deep dive into the Who's 1978 single "Who are You" b/w "Had Enough," listen now via @wastoids.com wastoids.com/2025/06/05/r...

HEY COACHELLA HERE'S YER NEXT HIGH PROFILE BAND REUNION HEADLINER.

I love when I see that close-friends green circle around a person’s IG stories and it’s someone I barely know if at all, it’s like wow they must trust me based on my wonderful and highly moral IG posts.

Everyone do this

Meeting the great Mark Zuckerman or MASN & the great @natschatpodcast.bsky.social before tonight’s game in AZ!

Thinking of starting an Ellen Arkbro fan club called the ELLEN ARKBROS www.blankforms.org/publications...

I swear when I first glanced at this I assumed it was a special Sprite flavor designed by Flea from RHCP

when people say no one reads record reviews on the web anymore, I'm surprised, I mean look at what a great experience it is

ALL TRANSPHOBES GO TO HELL
