Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

Holy shit. Jeff Bezos is turning the Washington Post editorial page into.... the Wall Street Journal editorial page.

Flashes seems like a great app so far…and an Instagram replacement. apps.apple.com/app/id674144...

I'm sorry, but what the actual f*ck?

The plan is crystal clear: Republicans will finance their billionaire giveaway with brutal cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, and the social safety net. The richest people in the world are working to steal food out of the mouths of the poorest families in the country. www.politico.com/live-updates...

From yesterday... New Crucial Tracks interview is up! And it’s a good one. I present to you, the one and only Patrick Rhone: www.crucialtracks.org/crucial-trac... Learn about Patrick's music origin story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did…

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

New Crucial Tracks interview tomorrow! It’s a good one. 😄

Crucial Releases for February 7th: Squid, Sharon Van Etten, Sleeper’s Bell, Michigander, and more… www.crucialtracks.org/crucial-r…

To prep for the coming Daredevil series, I did a re-watch of the 2015 Netflix series.

Kendrick’s performance last night was great. My favorite part was Humble, complete with an American flag made up of Black men, being torn in two while the president was in attendance. Quite a statement.

Excuse me, what in the Footloose fuck? www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Jeepers, the new Squid album IS good. Still have some new releases to listen to, but this is looking like the winner for the week. 🤘

None of us are free until all of us are free. If trans people aren’t safe, neither am I. I know who these people are because they are who they have always been.

Anything Goes opened up at West last night and was amazing. Milo starred as Moonface Martin and absolutely nailed it. The singing and comedic timing was impressive. What a hidden talent! Stella played bass in the pit and sounded great all night. The entire show was top notch. Hoping they win awards!

I’m gonna keep making shit and I hope you will too - annie’s blog → Concur!

The Strange World Of… Fugazi | The Quietus → Cannot wait for this documentary to be released. Looks like it’s been on the screening circuit for a couple years now.

What’s Happening & How You Can Take Action | Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez → Great video from AOC on what they are doing in DC and how we can take action. Also, someone on Bluesky transcribed the talk and put it into a handbook form here.

President Trump and the Power of the Purse → If you forgot your U.S. history lessons from school, Jamelle Bouie does an excellent job describing the constitutional powers assigned to congress and the president. And why what’s happening is so dangerous.

foofaraw mail day! 🎉🔥

they do not believe that anyone who isn't them has a mind or agency part ∞

BREAKING: Representatives of Elon Musk’s “DOGE” have gotten into the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where they have accessed key payment and contracting systems.

Not one American voted for the person who is laying waste to the federal government and hijacking the secure data of US citizens. I just wanted to lay it out: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🧐 looks like I just scored a Liquid Mike repress for the annual Crucial Tracks record giveaway. Announcement coming soon! 🤘

1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

this is theft on an unimaginable scale

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

Ok, February is going to be algorithm free. Deleted apps for Instagram, Threads, and logging out of Facebook. X and TikTok are loooong gone. Hopefully a calmer mind come March 1st. 😄

Trying a new app for tracking my end of year list. Chart Your Music. Here’s my January top 10!

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

Wishy at 9th Ward in Buffalo, NY tonight.

Next game (last night), Zoey got her first varsity goal! Her teammates were so excited.

This video brings back every emotion I felt in the early 90s, discovering the hardcore scene. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9M2...
