Swirly Trash Vortex

YES bubble logo by Roger Dean.

@sluggodoug.bsky.social was there a small contingent of “cool” loadie girls (you know, the ones who had feathered hair, smoked, and had that perpetually bored look on their faces) in your high school, where at least one of them had a “NO” shirt in the style of the YES logo?

Every time he is here, we know it because there are police parked at street corners all around our neighborhood and we often hear helicopters.

The figure is painted in shades of grey with teal accents on the torch and crown, set against a muted background with a golden halo-like circle.

This is incredible RS

The most impressive thing about this campaign is how *creative* they are. They’re trying new stuff! Multiple times during the last few months I’ve thought “wow, I’ve never seen a campaign do that.” Much more of that needed everywhere.

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”

This is especially relevant for those of us who enjoy confusion — whether we are going to hear Oingo Boingo, Katy Perry, or Post Malone.
Be that as it may — I listen to the Slug Monstrosity for his microphone acrobatics, not for whatever format that the program director pushes his slimy body into.

Very cool how Thomas & Alito were found to have taken exorbitant bribes over the years and not a goddamn thing was done about it

Definitely their high water mark, in terms of recorded output.

They’ll let anybody in the door nowadays.

Ex-CIA Whistleblower: "The NSA Audited The 2024 Election, Kamala Harris Won" Math doesn’t lie—people do. A buried NSA‑authorized audit paved the way for this unelected illegitimate regime.

This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world.

note that this isn't a denial and ICE is kidnapping and disappearing people

We’re basically just paying for these people to have vacations and do horrible morally reprehensible things to people who don’t look like them

What I cannot fathom is why any court is allowing Alligator Auscwirz to exist.

Inhumane detention facilities violate the 8th Amendment to the Constitution prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment.
