Happy Birthday to "The Godfather of Punk", born on this day, 1947 in Muskegon, MI. Musician, singer, songwriter, actor, punk legend and one of the most influential figures in rock history.

And happy birthday to Her Majesty Elaine May!

ah yes, personal freedom, that thing that is always present IN THE MILITARY

LAUSD to vote on restricting student screen time, after years of encouraging classroom use Years of investment and struggle resulted in school computers for every student. A new push in LAUSD would limit screen time, citing harms to students.

Online communists going at Boots Riley is a perfect encapsulation of online communists rather than Boots Riley.

A ★★★½ review of Melvin and Howard (1980) All of the movies being advertised at Universal Studios during my first visit are burned into my memory in a unique way. Their stills were festooned on the interior of the trams and I found myself try...

I finally saw MELVIN AND HOWARD. boxd.it/e47RA9

I finally let my paid subscription to my dating app lapse and PRESTO I got a like after a dry spell of weeks. So fucking crooked. I expect to get a few bucks someday when the class action lawsuit happens.

Toxic masculinity and white supremacy. Vikings don’t need medicine.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part?

In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first.

Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.

This is your fault, Martha’s Vineyard dinner party hosts. If only you had been as nice as the people on Epstein Island, this poor beleaguered man would still be cited on Fox News as “even liberal Alan Dershowitz.” But not anymore. You just had to take it too far.

Wonder what that could mean? Guess we’ll never know.

The sanitization and sanctification of Michael Jackson is one of those subjects I can't seem to talk about with calmness or rationality; I just stare at these money-machine enterprises and feel revulsion. I think I'll skip the discourse on this upcoming movie.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

If you go back and watch a movie like All the Presidents's Men, it will really hit you how massively our country has changed in my lifetime. It was unthinkable for any of today's headlines to ever even exist back then.

A lot of you think it's always been this bad, but it hasn't. It really hasn't.

Started watching Miami Vice, first season, and the first person on screen is Tony Plana. He turned 74 yesterday.

The Shreveport Mass Killing Isn’t Just About ‘Mental Health’ When a man shoots his wife and children, the term you are looking for is patriarchy.

"Shreveport was the place of my late mother’s happily ever after, the place where she began a 27-year love story with her husband after surviving 3 violent romantic relationships. After each relationship, the men became violent; one shot her. The other two beat her."

I think our society really is grossly underestimating how important visible accountability is for social cohesion.

May we re-learn this lesson.

The Russos just wrecked it all. ENDGAME is just bad pro-wrestling with digital effects. INFINITY WAR is the biggest empty stunt since this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million...

Oh fuck off, Joe. You'd have to pay me to sit through Endgame in a theater again. Handsomely.
