Sir András Schiff announces boycott of US for 2025–26 season The renowned Hungarian-born British pianist has become the latest musician to announce a withdrawal from planned concerts in the United States, for explicitly political reasons.

The American people have spoken – and we have heard them. Yes, indeed, there is a ‘new sheriff in town.’ Which has made it a very different ‘town’ – one that some of us no longer wish to visit. It is no longer obligatory.

I know Fascism always fails, but terrible shit happens in the meantime, and I mean deaths. Don't be patient. Do what you can to kill it every day.

Remember the "Great Escape"? Those guys were in a Nazi prison camp, but their duty was still to escape, and to fuck Nazi shit up every day every way.

I have yet to regret my decision to cease all commerce with any business, merchant, manufacturer, importer or agency operating in the festerng, shithole state of Texas. I hope they enjoy an abundance of measles!

USAid employees told to destroy classified documents, email shows Officials have begun large-scale destruction of classified documents, including using shredders and ‘burn bags’

Remember what I said about downloading TOR, getting a VPN and downloading and screencapping EVERYTHING??? As promised, the motherfuckers are starting the document burn in earnest and the erasure of history continues at warp speed. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...?

Pronatalists are ascendant on the right. Can they agree on how to make Americans have more babies? The movement unites ‘family values’ conservatives and tech bro rightwingers. Will this incoherent coalition hold?

Holy Lebensborn Batman!
Not just FORCED births, but LOTS of Forced Births. I guess plans for industrialized rape rooms are in the works?

Sweet Jesus, what a shithole country we've become!

A model response on Dean Treanor's part. What remains to be seen though is whether or not Trump and his MAGA Corps feel any constrained to act within the law. There is mounting evidence they do not.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Five years on: The countries that never locked down for Covid-19 Most of the world went into lockdowns in March 2020 response to the Covid-19 pandemic, but what has been the impact in those that didn't impose strict restrictions?

Given that we're hellbent on going through another pandemic, this is an interesting read.

In the meantime, avoid Texas and MAGAts like the plague. (See what I did there??? 😉)

We are a f*ckn joke!

Worse comes to worse, we can always eat the pets, right?

I'll admit it. I am definitely tired of all this winning.

Dead CEOs don't get stock options. Just sayin'

Denial Ain't A River In Egypt The stupid, it burns, it burns.

"Last November’s election was a referendum on whether we wanted a government based on (R)eality or (R)eligion. We’ve chosen badly, and instead of chemistry and physics, anything that doesn’t go our way will be credited to god’s wrath." - Niel Rauhauser

Michelle Browder's work urgently needs to be shared... even more so with the catastrophic cuts and chaotic, conspiracy-based policies of Trump and worm boy, Kennedy! Check out www.anarchalucybetsey.org for more info.

Erasure ALWAYS precedes atrocity. This is not only another incremental step in destroying diverse cultures but in a more practical sense, it will serve to disenfranchise non-English speakers from voting and access to many other social and governmental services. Basically, slow motion genocide.

And Fox News viewers will eat this shit with a spoon and a straw. #FoxNewsSucks #FifthColumnFox

The slob can hardly string together an intelligible sentence himself. What a pathetic joke. Where's the second gunman on the Grassy Knoll when you need him?

A MAJOR discovery this Black History Month was the music of Mary D Watkins. Watkins is also a prolific opera composer, with a series of works on Fannie Lou Hammer and Emmett Till. I definitely need to explore more of this composer's music. (marydwatkins.com).

DEFEND YOURSELVES

@thenewevangelicals.bsky.social, I know you are the GOOD guys and I really do like you, but when I see crap like this - in contrast to how Bishop Budde was accused of HERESY and worse - my disdain for evangelical christianity goes off the charts.
