Stop literally everything.
Steve Albini's Fugazi sessions, widely bootlegged and full of lore, now available officially for the first time.

Life is already so hard, things like this make it too damn hard. I’m so sorry.
Hmmm, when I come across a copy I’ll let you know. It exists. Adam Jones from Tool is in it too but he gets killed. I was like 19, so Adam was 20 & Tom was 21.
I had a scene with Tom Morello of RATM in a movie called “Season of the Snow Bitch.”
I can write the mirror image of my signature with zero practice. I was doing homework and I read Da Vinci could do it so I tried it. Voila! I’m a lefty.
Imagining WaPo in 1943, breathlessly describing how Germany was leveraging the most advanced technology ever used in human extermination.
Deep cut.
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was just days away from returning home to her husband and two children when a drone strike in Kuwait killed her and five others.
2026 nuclear family meme— featuring Fritzi as Neurodivergent Aunt, Sluggo as Sluggo, Nancy as Daughter, Nancy Jr as Woke Dog
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite songs ever by anyone.
Who are The Nolans?
I really, really miss David Berman.
Please don’t post Medicare information written by AI. It immediately kills the article’s credibility. Medicare is confusing enough. You fail to mention that “Medicare Advantage” programs deny claims so frequently & are so notoriously restrictive that Mayo Clinic now only accepts Original Medicare.
Twilight Zone premise
Yeah like to put things in perspective, the damage done by Sergey Brin’s ex-wife single handedly funding large segments of the anti-vax movement probably undid shitloads of positive public health work done through philanthropy. The ability to use that money for evil shit is just far greater.
Dem leadership and consultants keep desperately trying to throw trans people into the woodchipper and getting shocked that this strategy loses elections.
Each time they have an opportunity to *not* be genocidal pieces of shit, they instead double down harder on being Vichy scum. And lose even more
How I arrived on BlueSky

For nothing.
Illinois 1:30 AM. Foggy fog, as Dora would say.
Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
Definitely experience this. Sometimes I come across old articles, posts, etc and I can’t believe I wrote it. Inspiration comes like a wild wave and you ride it with trust and clarity. It has taken me far in expressing complex ideas with empathic human narrative. boingboing.net/2016/06/05/p...
Also no real work van is that clean.
Removable magnet sign also a giveaway
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
You are a king. No sarcasm. Life is hard and there’s no time to live.
