"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

The most music industry thing ever is venues hosting a sex-pest but not letting anyone mention it around them

A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility: Trans people have always existed, and we always will.  No president, politician, or court can change that.

So much great writing about wonderful music! 🥹

This is episode TEN of the #podcast, which means we’ve been doing this for 10 weeks straight! Very proud of our consistent work AND our growing skills.

And you probably wear dark MAGA hats thinking it’s a message from Jesse Lacey himself 🤷‍♂️

Among the new Lucy Dacus, Great Grandpa, and @ultradeluxe.bsky.social, will you find me devastated /complimentary

Calling it now, Mets will go 161-1. This post will age impeccably

Okay yeah the new Japanese Breakfast is hitting hard

I just listened to “Dry Out in June” and I felt the vitamin D entering through my ears

Outing myself as un-American (i.e., not a Bruce Springsteen fan) in T-6 days.

Steve and I enjoy the new Japanese Breakfast album and loathe fascism. We’re just two regular dudes.

I hope people realize that Trump is trying to make it illegal to criticize his regime. They are trying to give themselves the ability to spy on, target, and arrest anyone who criticizes them. They want to end freedom of speech in America. Let’s be clear about what they’re doing.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

every day I imagine a world where I'm not constantly tired and feeling like there's no point in anything would be cool & sick

in terms of professions that do indeed owe you something, politician is actually one of the big ones

Kyle Mooney debut album and Japanese Breakfast returns (I’m just getting into them)? This is my Barbenheimer

This is VERY cool.

Isn’t this just how DIY labels do it nowadays? hyuk hyuk hyuk

New Yorkers, do not rank Cuomo (nor Adams)!

YOU HEARD THE MAN, FOLKS

Quite thankful to do this week after week. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and watch on YouTube!

we cannot clown this person hard enough

My favorite extended universe is the phoneswithOwls-verse!

Been saying this for years. Fifty years of GOP work to achieve the necessary ignorance. Who remembers when Civics was a core high school requirement? They got rid of it for a reason.

God dammit. Timing couldn’t be worse but here goes. Chuck Schumer and I are launching our new podcast “Soul Deep: A Weekly Deep Dive Into the Music of Collective Soul” tomorrow. I do NOT support his latest decision and want to make clear this is strictly a music podcast. Please check it out

Once again the most antisemitic presidency in generations, an administration with *actual Nazis* on staff, is determining which Jews are Jewish and which are degenerates (hint: the latter = the vast majority of American Jews)—with the added bonus of using "Palestinian" as a slur.

Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride." Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair. Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.

Just finished editing my first podcast with a ton of technical difficulties. I guess I’m a real podcaster now, huh?
