As someone who grew up idolizing independent record labels like Dischord and Matador I was fascinated (in a sad way) by this @nicksylvester.bsky.social piece on the diminished role of the indie in today’s music industry

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

With Gabbard in the chat, it wouldn’t have been secure anyway.

King grills Gabbard about why climate change wasn't included in the threat assessment for the first time in more than a decade

Comparsa in Colonia Dolores Oaxaca Day of the Dead 2023

I am going through my photographs from Oaxaca in 2023. This is from the night time comparsa in Colonia Dolores. I skipped over it in my first edit because of the way the person on the right’s head is turned. But Sometimes you just can’t win.

The Case for Letting Malibu Burn - Longreads Many of California's native ecosystems evolved to burn. Modern fire suppression creates fuels that lead to catastrophic fires. So why do people insist on rebuilding in the firebelt?

Let Malibu burn. Excellent excerpt from a book by Mike Davis showing the history of Los Angeles fires.

New York Dolls at the Matrix. I was there for this Matrix run, but not necessarily on this particular night. My memory’s not so good, and it’s been a while😊

Here’s the real number of children receiving gender-affirming medical treatment New research reveals it's a fraction of a fraction.

The MAGA movement has convinced many that fleets of trans kids are being subjected to woke medical barbarism.

The real numbers?

0.017% of youth are coded as trans and receive puberty blockers.

0.037% access hormone therapy.

That's 1/20th of one percent.
