I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

Wait, I made it to 45 without driving past a road sign for Buttzville?

Absolutely correct, in part because Ron Wood never recovered the guitar tone he had on “A Nod is as Good as a Wink.”

The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years

some of the worst sentences I’ve ever read in my life, from this morning’s Axios Philadelphia newsletter “A disciple of Dr. Dre, the 53-year-old tells Axios that despite his hiatus, he's still kickin' the high-minded, pop culture-infused bars he'd mollywop emcees with during his Philly come-up — and later, on The Lyricist Lounge, a New York incubator for the industry's illest rhyme-spitters, from Mos Def to Eminem.”

It should be illegal for Axios to write about rap

Mandis: The Hands of Fate

Mandis (south suburban sex hotel)

Mandis (Bears OC fired for cracking down too hard on Jim McMahon’s Zubaz)

“I love making women upset” is a really underestimated motivation of modern conservatism

I am reading a lot about Ed tech and AI this month, to get caught up.

And I want to say one thing — this is every previous wave of ed tech extraction at one time, on steroids. Not even the Apple/microsoft school wars comes close.

Encouraging everyone to think about how every right-wing paramilitary death squad around the world for the past century has armed itself with “lost” or “stolen” military/police gear and also 97% of their members were the same guys but with masks on.

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today.

Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!"

It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

“Locate” and “apprehend” are different things

you know i thought we got to the end stage vibes pretty quickly

Palmieri had that Sun Ra gene/groove/whatever the fuck that was.

At some point, someone in Trumpworld is going to get wise of someone in Vanceworld and it’s just going to be really fucking funny, like JR-narrates-it funny when it all inevitably leaks.

Unfinished Masterpiece is an album you should listen to right now if you haven’t done so already.

Honestly kind of amazed at how much Milt Jackson records are both anchoring me to and abstracting me from reality.

I’ve been feeding one or both of my kids for about ten years and not a week has gone by without me cursing out “Bringing Up Bébé” under my breath while I’m cooking.

Can’t explain why but that dissolve to Robert Mitchum’s impassive face whilst Kate Bush is performing on a French tv show is one of the funniest things ever

jesus christ that’s awesome.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

To whatever extent it makes people feel better, this is not affecting cancer vaccines. It’s defunding the pandemic prep vaccine programs

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

This unfortunately might be the funniest tweet ever made.
