and I won't even say anything about the big actors in it. Do yourself a favor and don't read anything else about it. Watch it as a fun movie not to be taken seriously, but as a love letter to all the old 80s movies and enjoy! If you are a punk, you'll want to pay attention to shirts, posters, etc.

but early hip-hop is covered as well. Freaky Tales has over the top bloody violence, an old video tape store (and special cameo), basketball, old fast food joints, and more nostalgia than you can shake a katana at plus did I mention the nazi ass kicking? "Die nazi scum!" (Quote from the movie.)

part martial arts Blaxploitation, part revenge story, with a recreation of the punk venue 924 Gilman Street when they fought the nazi skinhead scum. Punks will enjoy the recreation of Operation Ivy and a band playing Black Flag and Negative Approach songs as well as nazi punching (who doesn't?)..

@punkrockhistory.bsky.social People should check out the movie Freaky Tales! Didn't know anything about it and was pleasantly surprised. It is a bit of a mash of short stories in a Pulp Fiction sort of way. It is supposed to be Oakland, CA in 1987. It drips of nostalgia from the 80s, part Repo Man..

I'd say the same, but Bad Brains... damn good sh*t! Just played BB on my radio show with Big Take Over and then Attitude. That combo... it really hits like a mofo! You can really feel the raw power even through the recording. Got to see them play live once and that energy they make is insane!

Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA Email obtained by Guardian says Pfizer was told approval may not be granted, meaning Moderna may have to fill gap

NEW: The FDA may yank Pfizer's under-5 Covid vaccine this fall. Pfizer has the only pediatric vaccines for all kids over six months, not just those with health conditions. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I remember arguing with people about this many years ago. It was not necessary. It was all a sham.

I had a solar calculator from the 80s! It still ran until I got rid of it a few years ago (maybe 2023?). Solar can be amazing if used and done correctly.

Guess Who’s Eligible for Student Loan Forgiveness: New ICE Agents Thanks to the Supreme Court and the Trump administration, student loan forgiveness is out of reach for many — unless you work for ICE.

“This just shows the lengths that the Trump administration will go to to weaponize Public Service Loan Forgiveness and debt more broadly to achieve their fascist objectives.”
