Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll (2014)
Tells the history of Cambodia, from independence in the ‘50s to the Khmer Rouge genocide, through the lens of music and musicians. Fascinating (and yes heart breaking)

An all-too-common mistake is inferring the sexuality of historical figures based on contemporary standards that didn’t apply back then. For example, in the 1970s it was normal for a cop, a biker, a Native American, a construction worker, and a cowboy to be friends. It didn’t mean they were gay.

If you didn't dump Spotify because they paid Joe Rogan a gazillion dollars, you can dump them because they're running ads for ICE! There are so many reasons to dropify Spotify!
I have canceled my Spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice and I refuse to fund it. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/9hUJhN2u

So much ink spilled on the question of what Democrats need to do to win, and the answer is just “run candidates who believe in things.”

I have the first volume and it is GORgeous and i can’t wait for the next volume. Highly recommended! (and you can get both volumes at the kickstarter)
I did the math and we need 162 more people to buy this book to make our goal. the other option is one person buys 162 books. So if you are looking to purchase 162 copies of the same (great) book, wow do I have a deal for you

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.
Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?
But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

I implore you, do not engage with any of the government accounts (or their troll entourage) that have shown up over the past few days. Don't dunk or quote or reply. Just block them.
They are baiting people. Engaging with them is *what they want.* Do not give them what they want.

Occasional reminder that one of the best things you can do to help musicians is to stop using spotify 🎶🦆
Most conscientious music fans know *why* so many artists are choosing to remove their music from Spotify, so I wanted to find out more about *how* it’s being done—and what it means for artists and labels’ financial future moving forward
So You Want to Remove Your Music From Spotify
Artists and labels on the realities of taking their work off the world’s biggest—and most maligned—music streaming service.

Fascinating thread 👌
Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor.
In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.
