If it were true that we can't control what El Salvador does in terms of prisoners, it all the more reason we have no business sending anyone there.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Randomly thinking about how excited I was for Iron Sky 2, then didn't get around to watching it as soon as it came out, and now it's just hard to get excited about watching it. It doesn't feel terribly escapist now.

This is a pretty extraordinary thing -- not sure I've seen or heard of anything like this before. It's tomorrow/Tuesday morning -- noon eastern, 9am pacific: speakupforjustice.law

To clarify: Setting fire to the home of a Jewish politician on the first night of Passover = apparently not antisemitism Saying "I bet Israel would stop killing innocents if we stopped giving them weapons and money" = antisemitism, I guess

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

Republicans in the House just passed the SAVE Act. It tells Troops overseas, disabled Veterans, and Military Families: We don’t want you to vote. That’s not “election security.” 
That’s voter suppression.

This pair of billboards is just outside my work. I've never really taken the time to appreciate it before.

As a reminder, "antisemitism" is, to the current administration, not actual hate speech against any person of Jewish ethnicity (or, say, blaming wildfires on "Jewish space lasers", or people who have publicly made pro-Hitler statements giving a Nazi salute at the inauguration);

Random thought: Why does Phil Collins get blamed for Zeppelin falling down on stage at Live Aid? I'm watching the footage now, and there's no way in hell that he can be responsible for Plant blowing approximately 75% of his vocal lines and Page being out of tune for 2/3 of the set.

Interesting to see where their focus is... (not surprising, though)

I thought I was done with waiting for the bus in 20-ish degree weather for a bit. Mother Nature: "April Fools!"

Why have I never noticed that the funky keyboard section of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" could pass for a generic Stevie Wonder rip-off of the same period, if played back at 1.25X speed? I might be stoned.

If you don’t think this administration is so incompetent or callous as not to do this, you haven’t been paying attention.

journalists should assume the admin is lying. judges should assume the admin is lying. Dems voting on appointments should assume the admin is lying. like, we should not be extending the benefit of the doubt ever here.

TIL that the creator of Full House bought the land on which the Tate-LaBianca murders occurred. I don't know if I have questions, or if that knowledge answered them.

As usual, my morning has been scheduled around the alerts from the public transit app I use. Based on it, I'm trying to figure out how it took me 25 min to get dressed, 1 min to walk across the hall from my bedroom to the bathroom, 15 min to walk 1/2 mi to the bus stop, and still had to wait 6 min.

Amy Pascal? As in "push everything featuring a Spider-Man character" Amy Pascal? Can't see how that could possibly go poorly for Bond.

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

Theory that I refuse to let go of: The music of Spinal Tap is directly influenced by the music of Iron Butterfly. "Cups and Cakes" isn't terribly far removed from "Flowers and Beads", and musically, tracks like "Stonehenge" and "Sex Farm" could've easily fit on an album like 'Scorching Beauty'.

Take your joy where you can find it: my feed just served me @edsolomon.bsky.social and @alexwinter.com right in a row. Maybe it *is* time for me to watch the whole B&T trilogy again. We could all use some joy right about now.
