Should have known you’d be on it already! Waxahatchee is so good live

Testament to great songwriting, and also kind of a power move in the streaming era (I’m now a This is Lorelei fan because Spotify served my Waxahatchee/Lenderman loving self the cover versions)

This is Lorelei is releasing a whole album of people covering his latest, which has created a bunch of great instances of this:

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Most charitable interpretation I can give it is that this feels like such a high stakes moment people are willing to boost anyone on the right side of it.

But of course for a lot of these folks this is a pattern

This is a sick civilization.
An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.

Always garlic

See I just thought you were a cartoon tiger

And Brussels sprouts!

you just get the sense that he genuinely wants to make your life better, and that it would bring him genuine joy to learn that he’d done so. Hard to ask for more than that

Throwback to my fantasy football glory days

Can you imagine how insane someone would look running a bunch of campaign ads about modifying college admissions in 2028

Pretty funny that Trump got to appoint three justices and couldn’t find anyone who could out-hack two of the guys who were already there

Perfectly put, gonna use this when I have my (frequent) conversations with students about it. I get having to teach it to middle schoolers, wild for professional writers to not grasp it.

the process is part of the work. it’s not supposed to be easy. the effort creates good work. i can’t believe this needs to be explained to people who call themselves journalists.

The reason they want his politics to fail is that an anti-Zionism rooted in a multiracial social democratic humanism is genuinely in keeping with the traditions of the Democratic Party and American Jewry. They want the choice to be Nazis or them, so that we're all with them.

I’m always considering getting of this site, and then from time to time I come across an incredibly clarifying point like this and it keeps me coming back

I think he’s gonna go down like DeSantis: lots of hype from media/consultants/donors, no traction whatsoever with voters

lol this makes it sound like Canada is full of rage virus or something

Looks like Jeb at 00:03

As it goes when you try with all your might to deny that you in fact exist in a web of interdependence with other humans

A true “our brains weren’t meant to get instant feedback from this many people” situation. Maybe antithetical to clear and genuine thinking?

I’m talking myself into getting off Bluesky.

The platform makes it almost irresistible to play to the crowd, and gives you increasingly niche/weird crowds and trains you to play to them. I got off Twitter in like 2018 when I realized I was asking myself “what would Twitter say” about all my ideas, even in IRL conversations.

Jesus. Another reminder of why lionizing individual heroes is a losing game for progressive movements

Agree 100%, would very much prefer those not be up in the air issues, but such is our depressing reality

Maybe something to the idea that these are big issues that haven’t yet polarized on party lines, so they’re issues that will attract big spending in a party primary

Beans, oats, veggies
