Or the kind of person who still says things like “petit bourgeoisie” in the 21st century

Glad to hear it. The recent Sanders cameo was appreciated, although The Family is far from his finest moment.

Ah man, did I miss it? (Figured they would’ve turned up around the time of the VU episode)

I’m still so bummed that he skipped the Fugs that I don’t have the energy to complain about Big Star.

So much for the boycott, first email I open this morning is a notification of a recurring Apple Pay payment for some subscription or another. Apparently I don’t even have to spend money (or know what I’m spending it on) to spend money.

Silicon Valley celebrities cozying up to actual fascists shouldn’t be surprising when one views the history of capital, venture or otherwise, no?

Hi @tedconferences.bsky.social how y’all feeling about Elon these days? Because you’re partially to blame for giving him cultural cachet.

And there were plenty of conspiracy theories too, just had to mail away for them from the ads in Factsheet 5

Those complaining about social media sinking human discourse to new lows of snarky, petty, accusatory, and enforced orthodoxy obviously never read a Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll letters section

If you see this, post a magic user

Listening to NPR while 9/11 went down was eye opening. Zero coverage on the 1000s of antiwar protesters on the streets, instead they gave us Cokie Roberts praising generals’ shiny medals and a puff piece on shock jocks (remember them?) covering Belafonte’s banana man song with anti-Taliban lyrics

NPR has been hot garbage ever since they booted Mumia, decades ago

I was once a freelancer for TED and it always blew my mind how the “liberal/ progressive” elements of the VC/Silicon Valley ecosystem believed that enlightened billionaires were going to solve climate change, save the planet, fight creeping hate and fascism, etc. How’s that working out for y’all?

Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges. Guessing you’ve seen Heartworn Highways (a doc, but one of the best).

Don’t threaten me with a good time

Maine?

That lead quote “At least I assume the weather in Houston is relatively moderate at this time of year” is pretty hilarious tbh

Still one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen

I will sometimes wake up at night and think “why would aliens to whom water is toxic invade a planet that’s mostly water?!”

Don’t know about y’all but I spent the latter years of the 70s reading hippy utopian sf and so always assumed everyone in the 21st c was gonna have multiple genders, futuristic pronouns, several sets of genitalia, and copulate with who/what and wherever they wanted

Ah yes the joys of family 🙃

Adblocker is your friend.

With new advances in technology, computers will be able to do tiresome and unrewarding work like painting, writing, and composing music, leaving human beings free to create shareholder value and protect inventory

For context, this is regarding an artist/activist sending DMs harassing a friend — who is indigenous, and thus might have personal reasons for not engaging in discourse on genocide (and who incidentally IS protesting with boots on the ground) — for “inaction” on their IG and FB feeds.

Continue to protest and put pressure on US officials to end the slaughter in Gaza, yes.

Police our friends’ reactions to the occupation on social media, no.

Name rhymes with the fleas in lake

I will, and have, condemn that terrible fuckstain all day long.

Praise Kali, the fucker is finally dead.

Hearing word that CC Hennix has passed. Absolute legend and I’m so happy to have been able to see her perform. music.youtube.com/watch?v=VAOw...
