In the 1950s, Black homeowners in Pittsburgh resisted the construction of broadcast towers they claimed would damage their neighborhood. The cases are early examples of Black environmental activism in the Steel City. My latest for @pghcitypaper.com 🗃️ www.pghcitypaper.com/news/the-hil...

Brian Eno's "Ambient 1" only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it went on to start an airport.

Market Square. Market Square. Caller says a lady in pink is kung fu fighting like 8 other people in front of the Chipotle and holding her own.

Sick days rewatches and a body horror catch up. Well, they’re all body horror actually. I guess I watch body horror when I’m sick. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Just learned about this awesome collection of Doris Chase videos (linked to below). I love the way she combines performance with the effects of analogue video and even some early computer generated images. archive.org/details/uwli...

I finally caught up with The Substance only to realize that the thing I was bumping the hardest against it was maybe a meta point it was making all along.

The halftime show was a declarative signal that whatever these goons steal, they’ll never have American culture, which is both the most potent expression of American power and the single thing conservatives are desperate for the most. I know they’re frothing at the mouth.

Art pisses fascists off—like fr! Your shit got a message? A theme? Fascists hate that shit. They want banal entertainment that aligns with their myopic worldview. Their capacity for creativity is utterly boring! Their allegiance to losers is breathtakingly uninformed and self-sabotaging!

These are the kinds of push notifications you get if you are me.

The sixth episode of @ohmpods.bsky.social TOO MANY MINUTES (#Sneakers pod) feat. @leezachariah.bsky.social @robbelushi.bsky.social @chriscandy4u.bsky.social Stephen Tobolowsky and co-writer/director of SNEAKERS - Phil Alden Robinson www.oneheatminute.com/toomanyminut...

When watching old movies, I used to wonder how Hollywood kept on putting out lots of new films while WWII was raging. I’m starting to understand. Well, no so much as understand but live through it.

Librarians have already been poked by this administration. Fucking with NARA isn’t going to go well.

The Sundance premiere The Librarians skillfully captures our crumbling democracy and those fighting to save it. Read @djmecca.bsky.social's review:

When you're trying to get people to notice that your country is being taken over by techno-oligarchs

You want to put undocumented and unregulated code agents into the federal government’s *login system*? Oh yeah, that’s not a gaping security hole from day 0. *jerkoff motion*

UbuWeb is back, baby.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

I am going to become the joker

One thing I’ll say for myself now vs. myself eight years ago: I know when I’ve had enough and can close the apps for the day.

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

Happy Black History Month and happy sixth anniversary to HORROR NOIRE: A HISTORY OF BLACK HORROR, a documentary that I helped birth and that I continue to be immensely proud of. It’s on Shudder. www.shudder.com/movies/watch...

It’s not quite #LetterboxdFriday or #LastFourWatched, but I’ve updated my meta list of the Letterboxd stats lists for February. It’s sorted by how often a movie appears on all lists.

I know I should just get a region free player, but I’m super annoyed that this is UK-only.

been laughing at the art on this Nancy strip for 10 minutes
