Lmao. I know that traditional house tracks are at least 6 minutes long but there are times where I'm like "okaaaay it's time to wrap this up 😀👍🏾"

The Sun illustrates Olympics trans ban story with picture of cis athlete UK tabloid The Sun has been widely panned for using a picture of cisgender athlete Imane Khelif in its story on an Olympics trans ban.

Siri, what's one way that I could prove the lack of basic logic inherent in transphobia with one stupid, ironic choice?

An open paperback copy of T Kingfisher's The Hollow Places slightly warped with dark water stains that make small evenly spaced hills accross the bottom of the page reminiscent of the Hollow Place Islands that are introduced in the next few pages.

I'm normally a fan of pristine books, but the mysterious dark waterstains on this library copy of @tkingfisher.com 's The Hollow Places gives it an ambiance of "fished out of a waterlogged bunker from another world" that really worked for me.

the internet and its wonderful people have given me so many lovely things ⚾💙

Neoliberalism is a political philosophy of eternal, premature surrender.

It's not absurd to say that a lot of new dance music that's being put out now has already been done by a person in Chicago or Detroit 30-40 years ago. It also bothers me seeing scalpers resell their records for an insane while the original artist(s) have made little to money after putting them out

Mamdani is going to implement Daria law or whatever.

Looking back, a lot of new wave was artsy dance music. Electro funk.

‘I was under duress’: Prince Harry apologizes to Canada for wearing L.A. Dodgers hat during World Series Prince Harry was spotted wearing a Dodgers hat during Game 4 of the 2025 World Series between the L.A. Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, Canada’s only Major League Baseball franchise.

No Harry...you weren't under any duress...you just roll whatever way the wind blows...

My sympathy

I will look that one up.

Hunee is good, very smooth, listening now. I don't recognize any of the tracks, but I am old🧓

Boiler Room: an hour with Hunee (DJ Mix) by Hunee on Apple Music Album · 2020 · 17 Songs

I've been study other DJ's open format sets and this has been a favorite of mine recently. I like his selections.

This attempt at authoritarianism is dangerous, without a doubt, but also, incredibly stupid. I guess the two go together.

"Hey babe, cheating exists, so I basically HAVE to sleep with your sister"

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

They are going to ignite an innocent exododus? This is cruelty. Won't somebody please think of the exododus?

Meme. Medieval painting of an angel leading a group of sinners out of hell. There are 5 sinners, all naked and surrounded by flames. The angel (who is clothed) is reaching a hand out to them. They're grasping for it, and you would, too. There are 4 men & 1 woman, so she's probably thrilled to get out of there. Jerry keeps hitting on her, and he won't take a hint. Hell is depicted here as the mouth of a giant dark beast. It looks a little like a cat head. The mouth and the ears and the space behind the eyes are all filled with flames. The beast has four sharp fangs at the front of its mouth, but the rest of its teach look rather human. The beast is looking upwards, like a dog groaking for scraps, and it's wide open maw makes it look like it's at the dentist. Despite having a portal to hell inside it's head, the beast looks friendly. If it sidled up to you in a park, and looked at you with those eyes, you'd pet it. Meme text reads: "Find someone you love enough to save with your eels"

It's Monday. Mondays are hard. Perhaps some eels will help?

In c. 1500, Roger de Cailli promised 1,500 eels a year to the priory of Castleacre if the monks would pray for the souls of his mother, father, & 2 departed wives.

Remember folks: eels are the way out of purgatory. Even on Mondays.

Wow envious!

A guardian article about a person who plays the recorder to relieve stress

You discovered noise music.

Someone playing the recorder would have me reaching for the whiskey at least.

From the mouth of a tough old bird…

I really love culture so much. I love thinking about and learning how other people live, eat, dance, celebrate etc. Like we're all just so small in this world.

Frank Zappa on the Religious Right (1986)
He was ahead of his time.

From A Scanner Darkly: "Let's hear it for the vague blur!" the host said loudly, and there was mass clapping. In his scramble suit, Fred, who was also Robert Arctor, groaned and thought: This is terrible. Once a month an undercover narcotics agent of the county was assigned at random to speak before bubblehead gatherings such as this. Today was his turn. Looking at his audience, he realized how much he detested straights. They thought this was all great. They were smiling. They were being entertained.

Philip K. Dick gets it right again.

Let's hear it for the vague blurs!
