wow, have zero memory of posting this, good job past me

oh look data

Here's a way you can support the whistlemaking effort without sending $$ Amazon's way. BUY FILAMENT GIFT CARDS. All the information is in the task 👇👇👇

Doesn't seem to be getting better very quickly either. Only 4 of the 12 Wolverines scheduled for Sunday and Monday actually ran 😬

Kinda seems like @amtrak.com's Michigan services are in an ongoing operational meltdown and nobody's talking about it?!

It's turning out everyone who caved to shit pants is in the files

The Lesson of Niemöller, Rewritten on the Streets of Minneapolis (Guest Editorial) In a new guest editorial, Billy Bragg reflects on the rise of modern-day resistance and how protest songs can turn bystanders into resistance.

I’ve written an editorial for @consequence.bsky.social revealing the inspiration behind my song ‘City of Heroes’ and reflecting on the role that music can play in the struggle against oppression

but i also know i have argued with a lot of people about various musicians: "oh i'm sure he feels bad about it" okay then, i'm still gonna question your decision to go follow whoever they are (i don't need to get brigaded) to Australia or even just Philly

i just recently watched a friend's husband take his entire KISS album collection (and other memorabilia) after the Kennedy Center Honors debacle. he was bummed but noted that it had to be done.

i once ran into my ex at MetLife Stadium bc we were both leaving as soon as the Stones started playing "Brown Sugar." We hated the song for the same reason. took a while to get there. the point of being a progressive is to PROGRESS

i once adored ryan adams but it didn't matter, his whole catalog went into the bin once his abuses got brought to light. it was sad & so many of his songs meant so much to me once, some of them were so fundamental to a certain time of my life. IN THE BIN.

Do people not see the continuum between "don't wear black outfits to a protest because they send a message I don't like" and "Alex Pretti shouldn't have brought his gun"

ICE can’t get judicial warrants not because the process is complicated, they don’t have probable cause. They could not swear it in an oath. It is that fucking simple and any reporting on statements from them should say so.

Where are the profiles of these people, NYT? Go fuck yourselves.

as someone who just sunsetted a newsletter i pretty much killed myself to put out for a year i am feeling this hard and thanking you for the reminder and the retrospection. <3

LOS ANGELES (February 2, 2026) — Last Thursday, a state-county-city public-private partnership in Milwaukee announced a proposal to demolish the 117-year old Miller High Life Theatre, an independent venue operated by independent promoter Pabst Theater Group. A report produced for the Wisconsin Center District argues the theatre should be removed in part because it will face “similarities” and “competition” from a new Live Nation venue being built across the street with taxpayer-backed incentives. The proposal would raze the historic theatre to build a luxury hotel to serve the patrons of Live Nation’s forthcoming venue across the street and the nearby convention center. There are currently a dozen hotels within 1 to 10 minutes walking distance. NIVA urges Milwaukee officials to abandon any plans to get rid of or limit Miller High Life Theatre’s operation or booking in any way.

here is a suggestion: if you don't like what someone is doing, and they're not doing anything that immediately concerns you, you can ... block them! not follow them! don't pay attention to them! it gives you so much piece of mind to do this. if someone tries to drag you into it, tell them to stop

Good read.

do not step to someone you don't know with an anonymous account. no one feels sorry for you. you bought into capitalism and now it's not working out well for you

i bet you saw SNAP recipients with filet mignon in their shopping carts too, and unhoused people should never be allowed to own a mobile phone, right?

under "i believe we will win" today, over on the Bad Place, every comment underneath the CDC's latest bullshit spew is someone calling them out for lying / RFK being responsible. every single one. on TWITTER. i mean i know this doesn't fix thousands of measles cases but no one is buying the bs

i was writing about the tuna melt 10 years ago!!! jukeboxgraduate.com/remnants-ode... originally wrote it for some sandwich project @jasondiamond.bsky.social was putting together.

ICE is afraid of children protesting “Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Right?! It’s somehow not getting through that the message is: no, do NOT come here — please, please get ready to do what you need to do where YOU are, in YOUR community

When we stopped BIAD because we couldn’t financially sustain it, lots of people said they were sad and would miss us, despite barely acknowledging the podcast while we were doing the work. Now’s the chance to help bring the podcast back. Please share! And contribute if you can.
