Face skidding on pavement ya love to see it

As a sober alcoholic I never get this sentiment. Just go to a coffee shop then hit up the library! Yes many cultures are alcohol obsessed but acting like there are no spaces for people that don’t want to drink is insane.

Tumblr discourse making it to Substack is…

Coffee is the ultimate former alcoholic drink. You can pay a guy $18 to make a fancy version of it right in front of your bloodshot eyes, or you can buy one in a gas station for a buck and a half while slowly crying to "Night Moves" because you just need to feel something again

Hard agree

THIS IS CRAZY 🥺

lord why’d you have to take D’Angelo!!

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility - The Boston Globe The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested.

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

OPEN SEASON for Jayson What they wont do is enumerate the ever-fresher types of way I've learned to live beneath the gun. Amid this country's latest crazed nostalgias, my body has been quickest to choreograph a future. This body didn't teach them all they know about gore, but damn if it didn't try. I fashion from my panic a corona of divergence, and they want my head as trophy for its danger heirlooms. What they fear in my father is already breath in my chest. Other than my mother who else can braid a wealth from rain and smoke? What they don't know is this work. Remember I was dinner theater, mug-shot and mounted and made to serve face. I haven't been hunted to anybody's brink. I am the brink. Fuck what they heard. My whole herd has chewed the cud of toed lines and had it with their hoarding borders, heaping triggers but can't even get a grip. What they can catch are my cloven hooves: I'll be all kinds of demon. Put that on a list of shit for which I am now here.

Former and current drug user anthem lmao

SiR’s John Redcorn got brought up on threads yesterday as just a damn good song and I love it but my vote is for D’Evils as his masterpiece

LMAO

Goodnight

USC sold dead bodies to U.S. military to train IDF medical personnel A review of seven years’ worth of contracts unveiled more than $860,000 to use cadavers in surgical trainings involving the Israeli Defense Forces.

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

Also hey I’m not a musician but doesn’t sticking to the same sound for a decade of your career get kinda boring?

But he’s not T Swift big so he can afford to veer off course I guess? Her music has never been it for me and I know I’m not the target audience but it’s weird to see her work so lauded.

Call me a snob but I like it when artists still take big swings in music. Two of my favorite records came from the same person this year: Destin Conrad. One is pretty dance-forward R&B and the other is jazz. They both rule! wHimsy was his first jazz album. He took a chance and it paid off

And this is really the crux of it folks! Re: T Swift from @raxkingisdead.bsky.social

Bluesky is the only place it’s safe for me to repost this lmao

Yikes

If AI has no haters, I am dead

Idk yall I think the fact that our president loves posting AI videos of himself is proof that shit is for fascists

I’ve always been wary of bill burr. I feel like he’s just like that other white comic married to a Black woman but with better PR. This quote? No notes!

“I went to the land of brown savag-oops I mean PEOPLE and they got a McDonalds yall!”

We want to blame someone for the current state but let’s blame the responsible parties. Not leftists you disagree with online.

I understand people are scared and angry but Harris still got secret service detail. She doesn’t need you to shout down strangers that question her record. Her campaign.
