I don’t have time to look up that word

‘Kerosene’ by Bad Religion and ‘She’ are written from an empathetic point of view, if that helps.

There are a a few Weakerthans and John K Samson songs, but they probably don’t count as punk.

Not a 2015 song 😠

I teach Music History to teens, and most rock fans listen to 90s and 2000s rock. Some of those fans have discovered Hot Mulligan and Games We Play, who are fairly contemporary.

On the more relaxed side, a few listen to boygenius and Phoebe Bridgers.

Hulk Hogan truly was the real America: an icon you were dutifully instructed to adore as a child and then every single piece of information about what he was, what he did, and what he thought about things made you hate him more and more, and in a way, yourself for falling for it.

Embarrassing, I don’t know if I can cheer for this team anymore.

The WHITE HOUSE Once widely respected as a symbol of American excellence and a global icon of cultural achievement, the Smithsonian Institution has, in recent years, come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology. This shift has promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive. For example, the Smithsonian American Art Museum today features "The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture," an exhibit representing that "[slocieties including the United States have used race to establish and maintain sy gems of power, privilege, and disenfranchisement." The exhibit further claims that "sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism" and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating "Race is a human invention."|

This is why self-described MAGA "conservatives" often feel uncomfortable in modern academia. Because amongst humanists and social scientists, the idea that race is a biological reality has generally been considered discredited nonsense longer than any currently living American has been alive.

'This is a class war': The Dropkick Murphys' Ken Casey on Trump, immigration and Boston "The way I was taught is, if your family were immigrants to this country and came for a better life, the price you pay for that is you can never say that 'no one else is welcome.' That is what America...

"The way I was taught is, if your family were immigrants to this country and came for a better life, the price you pay for that is you can never say that 'no one else is welcome.' That is what America was built on," said the Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey.

What do you mean, they have Jon Stewart playfully calling him sneaky.

A screenshot of BCL's website listing Coors as Canadian.

Hmmmm, famously American beer Coors is Canadian says BCL?

This is, of course, because Molson-Coors is a Canadian/US brand. But before you crack that Molson-Coors beer, let me ask:

Who founded The Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025, Trump's playbook?

Yeah, it was Coors.

No mention of butter tarts. This is step one of the American invasion.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

This is the correct response to all popular music, beginning the day you turn forty. I too hope the young people had, and will continue to have fun.

Their governor is a Democrat

This is just too good not to share. 🤷‍♀️🤣

Bluesky only lets you upload 1 minute so I cut this in two posts! #elonmusk

A lot of people keep saying that Elon’s decisions don’t make sense, but I have a trick. Simply ask “Is this going to get everybody talking about Elon Musk?” If the answer is “Yes” then, to Elon, it is a good idea.

I hope they add a tall dman

After watching researchers try to recover bodies from the 1918 flu in the Arctic, I went back to school to study the social history of epidemics. I couldn't understand why 1918 sparked no major memorials, no novels, no plays. How could societies collectively agree to forget mass death?

Welp.

And, as a reminder, according to NCAA President Charlie Baker, of the 500k college athletes, less than 10 of them are trans.

No matter what happens with the Canadian Federal election, one thing will be true — a significant % of Canadian voters & media will have been successfully manipulated to oppose a beneficial carbon pricing approach that was either revenue-neutral or financially beneficial to almost all Canadians…1/2

We tried signing tall dmen and we’re all out of ideas

Most people who clamor about education reform at a national scale have an underlying economic concern (aka they want to sell you sh*t like charter schools or canned curriculum). Education is hard, messy, and takes considerable time, money, and effort. Don't fall for the allure of crisis discourses!

you know who should be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame? Sisyphus

Don’t listen to the critics, Moana 2 is great.

I figured this was the case when I put on this classic Motown playlist and came across 3 songs from the 2020s. Too bad we can’t trust playlists.
