Clutch confirmed for the Desertfest line up 2026 (Joining Green Lung & The Sword as headliners). Wow!

“Irrespective of whether these people were involved in the local drug trade or not, we don’t have the death penalty in Brazil … They should have been arrested…” This is always the point. Human rights are non-negotiable. I hope the world leaders going to Cop do not let this pass unremarked.

Here's the Ronald Reagan ad from Canada that Trump calls "fake."
Just rewatched the final episode of the amazing, beautiful and esoterically aware #Lodge49.
Such a great shame that there were only two seasons - particularly with so much unresolved stuff at the end.
#Blammo
Why do TV execs just pump out such a lot of stupid shit, when drama can be so uplifting?

This is fucking excellent.
![Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.
There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.
What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.
It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiap6asa64jdjb2vlv4c2sdritjrntsibvsv7baj6o4cgwcfgsjeny@jpeg)

This is a broad model for understanding religious change around the world.
