Their live show was as off the rails as their albums and a total blast. I met Bill Doss and Will Cullen Heart after the show and they were the sweetest and most humble humans. They’re sorely missed. Can’t wait for their new, final album this week! 2/2

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Wow what an apt and hilarious description of this worm-addled cretin.

His voice sounds like a kazoo being deep-throated in a truck stop bathroom, his brain fires like a malfunctioning pinball machine stuffed with dead rats, and his charisma hovers somewhere between “hangnail” and “used condom on a playground slide.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

I ran into someone who has the same shirt I’m wearing. Turns out he lives down the street! Good to know a kindred spirit lives nearby. Mundus Sine Caesaribus: A World without Caesars. A boy can dream…

Cory Doctorow is back on @onthemedia.bsky.social talking about enshittification again. Money quote, about the high cost of printer ink: “you are printing your grocery lists with colored water that costs more than the semen of a Kentucky Derby-winning stallion”
