How many times tonight do you think the #GoldenGlobes producers have had to tell the mustachioed and permed hipster constantly onstage, “We said ASSIST the award winners, not STAND WITH the award winners!”

David Bowie's New Album ★ Is Challenging And Thrilling David Bowie may be the only elder statesman in rock still finding actively searching out fresh ways to present his art.

You can only find it in the Internet Archive these days, but here's my review of @davidbowiereal.bsky.social's 'Blackstar' that ran ten years ago today. ★

I’m kind of shocked more people aren’t talking about this because it must infuriate Trump, but the clearest sign the Republican Party is eager to see Trump move on is the Erika Kirk / Turning Point USA endorsement of JD Vance for President…3 years before the next election.

That was truly weird.

Well, at least now we know what it’s like to watch a Stephen Miller puppet show live on TV.

As media continues to homogenize (and minimize) arts coverage, I think it's important to support independent voices dedicated to opening your mind and exposing you to new and unexpected things.

Today is World AIDS Day.

We’ve made a lot of progress over the years, but there is still a lot of work we need to do to end the HIV epidemic on our planet.

To all who work towards that goal, keep it up!

…when you tell people change takes hard work instead of just repeating simple catchphrases…

The Word of the Day is "abide" and the quiz asks the question, "What four-letter word beginning with d can refer to a city dweller unfamiliar with life on the range or be used as an informal synonym of fellow or guy?"

I see what you did there @merriam-webster.com, and that quiz really ties today's definition together for me!

@durbin.senate.gov DO NOT VOTE FOR a “compromise” to save jobs (jobs Trump will eliminate after the bill passes anyway) and secure back pay for furloughed workers (something Trump signed into law during his 1st administration).

This will represent utter and complete failure by Democrats.

Thus far Chicago Police have found no evidence of the alleged shooting DHS claims was directed at Border Patrol agents yesterday, no video footage presenting visual evidence of anyone firing a gun exists so far, and #DHS has been caught in repeated lies about “crowd violence” in the past 2 months.

Quick Spins: the Mountain Goats, Sadlands, Gina Barcal, MEGG, Pink Fuzz, and The Lemonheads | Third Coast Review Quick Spins takes a quick look at recently released albums to make certain you’re listening to all the quality music being released these days. And with today being Bandcamp Friday, […]

Hey, check out my reviews of new albums from @themountaingoats.bsky.social, #Sadlands, Gina Barcal, #MEGG, Pink Fuzz, and The #Lemonheads!

The Trump administration announced they’ll appeal a Judge's order to immediately fund #SNAP with the money they have available to do so, instead of coming to the immediate aid of millions of U.S. citizens in dire need.

Let that sink in.

Trump would rather rather fight in court than help Americans.

@democrats.senate.gov, DO NOT FOLD!

The longer the GOP refuses to come to the table and negotiate in good faith, the more obvious it is to the entire American public—regardless of political affiliation—that this is Trump's shutdown.

The GOP will pay a massive political price for it down the road.

I hope the results of today’s elections are the wake-up call that finally causes the Republicans in #Congress to start pushing back on Trump and do right by their constituents to avoid losing most of their their seats this time next year.

It’s nice to see it “officially” surface but kinda annoying they’re only including it by hiding it on the Blu-ray Disc no one ever plays in these box sets…

We should all be heartened by today’s elections, but the U.S. is still in the clutches of President #Trump. Things are about to get a LOT worse as he lashes out and intensifies his attacks on American Democracy.

Stay peaceful in your opposition…and be prepared for a very long and painful 3 years.

Trump’s now-tired yet oft-repeated complaints before every #election that any results he didn’t like means things were “rigged” should be both ludicrous and boring to even his MAGA followers by now.

Preemptive sour grapes; never based on any facts.

I see what you did there. 😂👍

The actions of Trump’s #DOJ indicate its leaders seem to believe the rules of fictional TV law shows are how you practice actual law.

Unsurprising, I know. But still pretty dispiriting that they’ve gotten away with as much as they have this far, based on flimsy to non-existent real legal reasoning.

So Trump has no problem illegally shuffling money around to pay the troops and his pet projects, but will stall against a court order for as long as possible to deny #SNAP benefits to millions of Americans, many of them MAGA, in real need.

You get a hug! And YOU get a hug! EVERYBODY GETS A HUG!

Trump loves his illegal use of #tarriffs because they allow him to capriciously bully any nation that gets under his skin.

There is no chance his tarriffs will return manufacturing (or jobs) to U.S. soil in any meaningful way.

Recent Senate votes prove his own party knows this is a losing gambit.

It’s on the run!

When Kim Jong Un rebuffs your very public pleas to hang out and be buds again, it’s a clear indication you’re definitely not longer as influential as you think you are, Mr. #Trump.

Every single thing tanking the U.S. #economy right now are self-inflicted wounds caused by Trump and his administration.

Trump is also a terrible negotiator. His “win” in China basically restored the status quo from before his attempt to bully China with his tarriffs.

Anyone else share the feeling we shouldn't be so eager to move EVERYTHING into the Cloud, and make EVERY app Cloud-based?

I remember buying every horror and movie magazine that had articles and photos of how the effects in ‘The Thibg’ were done when it was first released!

#Spotify gave me an account to try out as a journalist back before it was legally available in the U.S.

I immediately saw the dangers the platform presented and it turned me off from using any streaming platforms from that point on.

I’m glad to see so many people are finally figuring this out too!

Thank you SO SO SO MUCH for covering this real time, @heathercherone.bsky.social!

This is an especially welcome move by Judge Ellis in light of the recent reshuffling to put Border Patrol in control over ICE that began last night, since this administration prefers a more violent approach.

(Bovino then asked if they could make it 6 p.m. every day instead and she said, “Sure.”)
