In this Western Massachusetts town, it was a tradition: plate of gluten-free toast, big glass of soy milk, then over to the old lesbian bar for a little N95 time. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

As soon as we have the technology that everybody's pretending we have someone is going to clone Cory Doctorow

Seriously wish 12-year-olds would stop being elected to high office or any office really

My hottake in the year 2026 is that microwave suck. How was it a good replacement for the stove top? I can cook pretty much everything on a fire. Fire makes sense, guys. Radiation is a weird shitty tool for cooking.

Was just thinking about Karen Bass being against street vendors and the idea that if vendors set up near a restaurant that is a problem. As if adults are going to a restaurant but see a taco stand first and say “this food is closer so you lose, restaurant”

I'm afraid so, Darth.

While our American cousins take to the streets to protest against Tяump's authoritarianism on No Kings Day, we're marching in London to prevent his divisive politics being imported to the UK. I'll be playing a few songs in Whitehall around 2:30pm www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nobody tell Newt Gingrich about a Modest Proposal

You bolt awake in Los Angeles. It is 1998. The wrong NewsRadio actor is about to die, and only you can set things right.

Almost forgot to mention that the other night I spent an hour listening to MIDIs of Pixies songs and it was glorious

You’re all out here Kill The Poor maxxing while I am When You Get Drafted gooning. You’re Moon Over Marin gooning while I’m Chicken Farm maxxing.
