"My girls protect me, not the cops." Seen in Paris, France

ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out” and I love this sign.

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming? Both. It's both.

Not every album by Swedish rock band The Hives is equally great, but there isn’t a single bad one in the bunch.

There’s a live video of that song being performed at Macy’s 4th of July : crowd decked out in flags, absurdly over the top patriotic and I snicker every time she opens with “My friend the communist…” (followed by the entire running thread of anti-consumerist vibe in this “summer anthem”).

This is high art

Happy(?) to confirm that the opening line ‘My baby loves a port town and a shuffle, only cries on Ferris wheels’ 🎶 has firmly taken up residence in my head for the foreseeable future.

By eliminating USAID and gutting global humanitarian aid, the eugenics freaks who hide behind the veil of “long-termism” and “utilitarianism” are getting exactly what they want: the mass death of people they view as unnecessary. lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-...

It’s 2025 and I’m listening to a new Allo Darlin’ single. Stop, this is so nice. 🥹

Thought about Walter Benjamin writing about the Parisian underworld again during a bout of insomnia last week.

April Fool’s feels especially draining nowadays, w/ absurd headlines already a daily occurrence. On top of that, it’s driving a surge in GenAI images, as peeps rush to create visuals for their made-up jokey news. The most delightful pranks showcase creativity, and this lazy touch-up is just… ugh.

jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

East London's most beloved indie pop band with jangly guitars and the raddest bass lines is making a comeback after a 9-year hiatus this week, btw. youtu.be/57eii7Bdf3g?...

🚨 BREAKING: Long COVID research grants rescinded earlier this week have been restored, according to researchers & patient reps. Advocates organized quickly yesterday in response to the news, helping reverse the decision. Exclusive in @thesicktimes.bsky.social thesicktimes.org/2025/03/28/u...

We need to tread eugenics with the seriousness we treat the most vile forms of bigotry because eugenics is what turns those bigotries into action items.

It’s Friday here. Happy new JBrekkie day to all who celebrate. 😌🖤🎶 ( Currently on listen #2. )

In his first official statement, one that had to be dictated over the phone because he continues to be held in ICE custody, US greencard holder Mahmoud Khalil pens a MUST-READ letter. "Justice escapes the contours of this nation’s immigration facilities." www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I feel the same way about ai music. Maybe it will be able to make something that approximates a good song at some point but the second I learn it was created by a thing that can't experience loss or joy or whatever it immediately becomes uninteresting by definition

As someone who’s interviewed on the record, somewhere on the internet, showing off her rare limited edition Little Big League record, I am pleased to hear we’ll get a sound somewhat reminiscent of that on the new record (amongst other things). 1 week to go ! www.pastemagazine.com/music/japane...

For me, it’s the little Bandcamp animated heart that shatters if you answer “No Thanks” to “The time has come to open thy heart/wallet”. 💔

Thanks @pbs.org for this terrific piece on forgotten/unknown black punk musicians - long overdue

Looking around at reality and can't bring myself to sign off my emails with "Have a nice week" so I'm considering "Have a week" instead. While I really do want you to have the former, wishing you the passage of time without getting your hopes up just feels like a more realistic goal rn, sorry.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
