Mfw thinking up some good gags

Begging commercial radio jocks to use an expression other than ‘fake surprise’ for their promo images

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

What the fuck

Stop obsessing over Spotify streams or box office numbers. Stop turning your pop culture favourites into an endless competition and numbers show.

I wrote about the irritating gameification of pop culture and fandom.

Do you want to live in an authoritarian country where healthcare is free or where it’s prohibitively expensive. That’s it. That’s the brain drain driving reality now.

fuck yeah

I'm rewatching season 7 of the simpsons and have never been happier

A billionaire releasing a diss track about a millionaire and the general public lapping it up … I dunno, something quite depressing about it all imo

U.S. comedy, music, and culture is absolutely begging for a massive infusion of anti-authority punk sentiment to offset all this dim, hackish, opportunistic clownishness

i intend to watch this entire video

Sean Penn looks like Wile E. Coyote after a TNT mishap

“The time of…Benjamin Netanyahu coming to this city and then making military decisions from this city to kill civilians…has to come to an end.”

I asked @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social if he still plans to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to New York.

I spoke with @tonylstamp.bsky.social on RNZ's mixtape. Some of the chat was about my book - Songs From The Shaky Isles - but mostly we spoke about NZ music history & how my life has intersected with it at various stages. Plus played some laidback tunes!

#NoMusicForGenocide is a cultural boycott of Israel. Over 400 initial artists and labels have geo-blocked and removed their music from that territory - Massive Attack, Primal Scream, Amyl and The Sniffers etc etc

Thanks to Ben Howe for wading in on this.

A race to the bottom in stadium show subsidies isn't great news for our local industry, but there are opportunities to mitigate the damage by:

(a) ensuring local support acts & (b) building alternative revenue streams to support our grassroots community.

The Democrat who adopts this platform wholeheartedly will rise up like a great wave and wash the fascists into the sea

i think possibly the most embarrassing thing about me is i was president of the debate club in high school and that experience really informed my views on people like Kirk and Ted Cruz and the pod save guys. I think debate club is really harmful actually, it basically straight up teaches amorality

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn't a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

You are a Muslim kiwi watching New Zealand politicians valorizing a man who was pro gun violence and promoted the “replacement theory”. It’s absolutely gross they aren’t being questioned and dragged by the media I’m sorry. I’m so sickened wtf is this.

Being in an office with CNN running constant fawning coverage of ch*rlie k*rk is really accelerating my jokerfication

Screenshot of two headlines - one from the Guardian has a picture of a guy in a v neck undershirt eating breakfast and reading a book?
