y'all ready to bust some chuckles? is what I'm going to say at the beginning of my comedy set.

Mistick Krewe of Comus - Wikipedia

If you, like me, were all "what is Rex Comus?" Here's the slightly hard to find wikipedia article. Relevant excerpt: "The Comus organization.. ..withdrew from parading rather than racially integrating." this was 1991 when New Orleans City Council passed anti-discrimination requirements.

"..this is the party that ran against cancel culture and now they're trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read. And this is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture, the kind that comes from the top..." Rep. James Talarico speaking on the cancelled Stephen Colbert interview.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

I'm currently digitising my archive so that in five years time nobody will be able to read it.

Wow -- incredible!!!

Protesters are being paid to not buy tickets to see the Melania movie

By God this is an absolutely incredible read. Attention Bee Gees and Robin Gibb fanatics.

MAGA was clearly like “Wait, they’re immigrants? AND they’re black? This is the jackpot, the most exploitable minority in America” and now Somalis are abruptly more directly targeted for persecution by the US government than any ethnic group in almost a century

(daft punk One More Time voice) Auld Lang Syne

Teddy Ruxpivelt. Just claiming the invention of that hilarious idea here.

RIP Steve Cropper. Big influence when I was first picking up the guitar.

BE BEST

Happy Supply!!! Great band!

Sign for a "Friend" ad defaced with graffiti reading "you don't have to accept this future."

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.

Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

How racist provocateur Jake Lang tried to manufacture chaos in Dearborn - Detroit Metro Times Right-wing provocateur and avowed racist Jake Lang arrived in Dearborn on Tuesday with a bulletproof vest, a Quran he threatened to burn, and a bag of bacon he shoved into people’s faces.

Jake Lang, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who openly calls himself a racist, came to Dearborn with a small crew of followers and a camera. His goal wasn’t dialogue or protest. It was provocation, panic, and propaganda.

Todd Blanche always looks like he just shit his pants and is deliberating next steps

it's been shameful living in a country that does not have a Quality Ballroom

I’m good.

oh don't get me wrong. worth every penny!

I don't even wanna think about how much I spent on that show doing the whole presale thingy thinking it would sell out. They probably shoulda played St Andrews like they did 29 years ago but I'm happy I got to see a BIG Pulp show.

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

Little did 1st grade me, seeing the cover of Speak of the Devil, know that he was just a lovable hook slinging Beatlemaniac. Yet another occurrence of the sound in my head being way more extreme than the actual article and the actual article being so much greater than I could ever imagine. RIP Ozzy

This is Laura Loomer's flip way of advocating for a purge of Latinos, all of them and it is very fucked up. She is a de facto Trump advisor/internet troll/proud white nationalist in case you don't know who she is. I'm not on X, anyone know if people are pushing back there and how she's reacting?

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her
