Me & Amanda flanking a bottle of Zima

Just learned my former co-worker Amanda from The Krunchies died last week. We worked together at the record store the day we found out Michael Jackson died & shared one of the last Zimas sold in a bar. πŸ’”

thrilled to report that if Pope Leo is ever canonized as a saint, his jerseys will indeed become second-degree relics, and I unironically hope I live to see this

They were nuts live. They would play 3 hours if you let them. Covers of anything you could think of, stories… they did a tour with Will & scott from centro-matic as their band and they were turning on the lights in the hideout in the middle of a cover of MMJ’s Phone Went West at 1:55 am.

When Prince played the United Center & House of blues here for 3 nights I saw him 4 times in 72 hours and the only thing I regret is not going to the other 2 shows I skipped.

The Patriotic Blonde on Twitter writes: "People are posting this all over social media. 

What a sad end to something we all worked so hard for. 

I never thought it would end this way."

Attached are four photos of people burning their MAGA hats.

please don't do this. MAGA hats are made from an acrylic blend, which will release toxic chemicals when set on fire, potentially harming you and downwind woodland creatures

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

keep your prescriptions, medical info, emergency contacts on your phone & on paper on your person. sounds like Todd was having multiple health issues & communications with first responders were not getting him the help he needed. We’re all one shitty step away from this happening.

I stopped posting Japanese commercial screens like two weeks into running this account (something like that deserves its own account) but I really need y'all to see how hard the Japanese G.I. Joe logo goes.

It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.

Reminder:

Being poor does not make you immoral.

Missing teeth, illiteracy, drug use, does not make you immoral.

Nuerodivergence & mental health issues do not make you immoral.

Being a sexist, racist, violent fascist does! Hope this helps with your messaging about current events!

A color portrait of Richard Nixon, the 37th president of the United States. Everyone knows that Nixon resigned in indignant disgrace in 1974. Few, however, know of Nixon’s secret passion for horticulture, a fact Evelyn discovered when a bundle of never-before-seen highly classified documents turned up in her mailbox in a bulky yellow envelope with the words β€œit’s probably in here” scrawled on the front. The documents, which Evelyn has only just begun to comprehend, show that Nixon maintained a secret garden on the White House grounds. He tended to the garden late at night under the cover of darkness, growing milk thistle, wormwood, rowan, foxglove, and salvia divinorum.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

The next step is demanding real leadership in the Senate β€” leadership that fights for working families instead of surrendering to an authoritarian regime. House Democrats are already joining Indivisibles in these calls, and the public is on the side of those who fight back against the Trump regime.
