Floof on a cloud! Sim is hanging out on the duvet during sheet washing day and dreaming fluffy dreams, no doubt.

Cover for the Radio Free Eggsy mix called Tsumaranai Tunes Volume 1 – Classic & New Japanese City Pop, featuring several Doraemon in various poses

Here's my first mix fully focused on the Japan city pop genre, both new and old. Crack open a Sapporo (or other favored Japanese brew) and join me for some smooth jazzy/bouncy pop in the izakaya of my dreams. #NewMusic #MusicSky #Japan #CityPop #NowPlaying

Chart showing Three-fourths of respondents said their monthly household costs are going up by more than $100

Everyone's feeling it... don't listen to the man gaslighting behind the curtain.

The president has continued to insist that there is β€œvirtually no inflation”. β€œPrices are β€˜WAY DOWN’ in the USA,” Trump wrote on social media in late August.

this Saturday, October 18th, millions of Americans will be peacefully exercising their First Amendment right to assemble in protest of the shitfuckery that’s being inflicted on us by a convicted felon and his willing Republican accomplices.
predictably, the worst people in the world are panicking over No Kings Day. the fascists and the oligarchs don’t to want to see We the People united against their agenda. fascists win by tricking you into thinking they’re invincible, and then grinding you down and making you give up.
well guess what, fucksticks: we’re not giving up.
