I wrote my first #bass line! 🥰

I was feeling #post-punk (no surprise there) and wanted to take baby steps toward becoming @peterhookthelight.bsky.social (again, no surprises) and I ended up falling backwards into my first riff!

The lyrics are nonsense inspired by #Smiths and #magicalmysterytour

I'm rewatching The Wire. A character in the episode I'm watching says, "A lie ain't a side of the story. It's just a lie." For some reason, that speaks to me these days (as do a million other lines from the show.)

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Go check out our brand new song:

Drunk zydeco Tuesday! 😎

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight.

Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

Just cobbled together what ended up being one of my personal favorite music videos of all time:

'Told You So' by Pizza Backpack

Hope you enjoy the first half as much as we do ♥️🌹🇺🇲

He says that when you take an airplane "it costs you $2, it costs you nothing."

I genuinely can’t get over how much this country hates women. I mean, I thought I understood, but every day feels like a fresh new injury.

Musk’s total idiocy is structural: it goes back to the very origin of the Greek term idiotes, a person who cannot understand the shared political life of the city. These people cannot understand that their wealth and power are not their sovereign creations but the shared product of the wider state and society that supports and sustains them. Cryptocurrency is the perfect embodiment of this structural misrecognition: its advocates say it represents wealth outside of the state and society, but its notional value is wholly determined by its price in fiat money, created and sustained by the state. (It also functions a lot like “race” and “IQ:” as a repository of social value that provides a haven from degradation, but I’ll address that another time.) Here’s the thing: They can only see corruption around them because they are wholly corrupt.

The Trump admin is halting all federal research that contains keywords like gender, transgender, LGBT, and non-binary because they don't want to help trans and nb people. They want to erase them.

Elon is robbing you right now, what are you gonna do about it? YouTube video by Pearlmania500

This video is for that one person in your life that just doesn’t fucking get it:

If I’m on YouTube and I want to watch a video essay I have to click through a content warning only to be greeted with a Doctor Drew commercial where he’s lying about public health in a way that could kill people but that doesn’t get a warning.

This feels poignant right now, somehow

Just read the unabridged version of Anne’s diary. Years ago I read the “school” version—so much left out about an adolescent’s sexual awakening. I mourn that the world never got to see this brilliant teenager grow up. Never forget. #booksky
