those are lying liars who lie to pollers

I’m ok with him in the mix with the others Chop mentions but Prince is still the GOAT imo.

They not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists.

Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth are sitting at CBS’ table.

FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.

Two thousand and fucking seven

Hi I can’t stop laughing

The press is intent on whitewashing Republican agency out of everything.

Hell is described as a "lake of fire" in ancient texts because, at the time, it was the most painful thing that the authors could imagine. Largely due to the fact that capitalism had not yet been invented

Opening an incognito window and searching "What are some normal things to do on the weekend"

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Reality show idea: people who hate mornings locked in with morning people and the coffee is decaf.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking

Here’s a feed cleanser.
Dogs catching treats.

Mbird was fucken worse imo

true but I never try to read anything into that, you cannot know why that’s the case (unless they repost anti-Semitic shit!) eg my reposts are arbitrary/capricious as obv I don’t see most posts in my feed esp because if I click on anything in a post I’m booted back to the top of my fucken feed (!!)

sadly all the generalizations made when it comes to geopolitics don’t help, eg being pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian pro-American and pro-Iranian shouldn’t be mutually exclusive, I’m anti-Trump anti-Netanyahu anti-Hamas anti-Khamenei etc. violence/war destroys the earth and its inhabitants

Jews aren’t the only people freaked out by this at all. Hate crimes aren’t ok and should get media attention and politicians should always speak out against them as well as those targeted. It’s normal for people to empathasize only to a point, often until they’re victims of the crime themselves.

Ehrm to be much more clear, I meant to say likely involves the most passionate, souful Trey solo ***IN A VERSION OF JOY*** in Phish history, hence the question about it beginning a (lol) Joy “jam” chart. I regret this asinine error of communication. You’re welcome. cc @chopaganda.bsky.social

Bagatelle #64 YouTube video by John Zorn - Topic

Listening for the first time to this magnificent album of John Zorn compositions by the John Medeski Trio.

The groove shift at 2:32 of this one just literally made me say "Oh god" out loud and rewind it to hear it again.

John Medeski - Organ
David Fiuczynski - Guitar
G. Calvin Weston - Drums

An Instagram post from Adrian Belew includes a picture of a graying Frank Zappa and the following text: here's an anecdote I wrote in 2007. Closure. my last time seeing frank zappa face to face was just months before his death in December 1993. I went to the zappa abode for a short visit. he looked like the picture above, which was a shock. frank was obviously ill, his voice a whisper. instead of the vibrant frank I knew there was an older man. only 52 but seeming very weak and tired. in place of his usual habit of chain-drinking espresso he was sipping orange juice freshly squeezed by his maid. frank talked about his latest project. the conversation drifted off. I felt a tinge of guilt taking his time. soon he excused himself to rest for a while. our interlude was over. I prefer to remember a different ending. one night in late 1992 I woke up from a vivid dream. I looked at the clock. 6 AM. I couldn't get back to sleep. in my dream frank and I were laughing and talking, having a lively conversation about music and things. it felt good, like a friendship. since I couldn't sleep I went downstairs and sat in a chair, replaying the dream. there was no such thing as e-mail then, about the fastest delivery was by fax. so I decided to send a fax to frank. in my fax I told him about the dream. then I said I had never properly thanked him for all he had done for me and I wanted say "thanks". I had no idea at that time that frank was ill and dying. later that afternoon I got a call. it was frank. what a great surprise! he said to me, "that was sweet". that's the word he used: sweet. not a word you would normally associate with the acerbic edgy satirist. we proceeded then to have a wonderful conversation much like the one in my dream. and that's the way I remember frank.

Apologies if this is old news but last night’s Joy—while not perfectly played by a long shot—likely involves the most passionate, soulful Trey solo in Phish history. BUT SHOULD IT BEGIN THE JOY JAMCHART?!?!?!? in other news yes last night’s Mike’s definitely will jamchart cc @chopaganda.bsky.social

moved to SF from DC in August 95 for law school and learned Jerry had died from Sam Donaldson after turning on the tv in a Super 8 in Elk City OK after having driven all day from Harrodsburg KY with all my shit in a rented Taurus, it was my “everything” that day at least tinyurl.com/287mbnud

my entire life there have been frustrated women who can’t find appropriate men to date and in response people called them frigid spinster cat ladies but borderline sexual predators and outright misogynists get pity profiles on the reg — disgusting

they sold out in boulder!?

If Hillary Clinton had to testify under oath to Congress about Epstein, why the hell hasn't Melania been brought in? Certainly far more connections to Jeffrey.

a cartoon character with a spoon in his hand Alt: REN of Ren & Stimpy, while full-body screaming murderously, suddenly has a giant spoon in his right hand and he threateningly waves it at someone (likely Stimpy) who he no doubt intends to beat to death with the giant spoon

you’re only now reaching this conclusion
