The average American has three friends

WHO#29 is “Switch Off That Machine” by Nigel Wrench. the-tapeworm.bandcamp.com/album/switch... We live in dystopian times. This is a response. Wrench’s compelling soundweave of unique, disturbing archive from apartheid South Africa is of the past. The resonance is now. @urbanshep.bsky.social

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Is it just me? Or did they use to refer to the person heading the Treasury as the Chancellor before the current one?

Countdown to a new parody account narrated by an anthropomorphised Kristi Noem Bag 👜

Narrator: they already can’t.

Forgot to list Adderall.

The Studio is fucking amazing. Second episode literally made me bounce out of my chair - kudos to Seth Rogen *hat tip*

I Gotta Feeling

Drumpf keeps doing this thing lately when he gets reporters to repeat the question… clearly a cheap ploy to buy thinking time. “In my opinion”.

Oh look! A dead cat!

I’m starting to think the same.

Does he mean the American electorate will be eventually compensated for the fraud?

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

“You don’t have want me drive it, do you?” = “give me an excuse not to look like an hapless idiot attempting to drive it”

I was wondering this very thing.

RIP George Lowe, the voice of Space Ghost, a show that emitted a specially tuned frequency to my 12-year-old self. "I'm driving down Highway 40 in my big ol' pickup truck, Katie," in a Tom Brokaw impression still rattles around in my head all of the time for no reason.

Incredibly trivial what with all that is going on, but what is up with the BBC's use on type on their chyrons? I swear I saw Calibri Bold at one point.

The mention of WW3 was extremely alarming. Pure projection.

America is a rogue state.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Yes! More of this type of resistance 🗺️✊

Even Rubio knows how fucked up this is.

Assets gonna asset

The perceived equivalence of popularity and importance is one of the foundational failings of those currently in power.

Get the sense that Dump is setting up Canada and Mexico as the fall guys when border crossings fail to go down. The buck always stops anywhere but with him.

And the tech bros are cheering it along to get people rushing to crypto.

I avoid film reviews before a film as I like to form my own opinion, but this one really nails our feelings after watching Hard Truths. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/fe...

Not a fan of nostalgic harping, but this transformation personifies my view of the USA over the last 30 years: started / going etc.

That cloud

Ha! Top-shelf shade.
