Tune-Yards’ Better Dreaming from earlier this year is another good one. Similar in sound, but maybe a little more dance than their other ones? #optionallistening

I like the early 2000s sounding tech house/funk production on a bunch of tunes from Aminé’s 13 Months of Sunshine, but man, the literalism in the lyrics is just as bad as in a lot of current movies. #optionallistening

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Song of the Earth, Dirty Projectors, David Longstreth, stargazer. Better or worse as an instrumental album compared to the vocal… I’m not sure. The horns often sound good, tho. #optionallistening

There's extensive evidence that just giving poor people money is very effective public policy. The moral panic over what ppl buy with SNAP is about sadism and entitlement. the wealthy enjoy policing and tormenting those they see as their inferiors. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/republican...

This is insane shit. Cops hate the people of Los Angeles and look for any excuse to injure people.
Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street
