“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Holy shit! If you are still on Spotify, get the fuck off asap.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Trump is a fascist. Which makes anyone who still supports Trump a fascist.

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.

In light of what happened to Renee Good, I thought it important to reiterate my grandmother's advice.
My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

Worth noting that Varone’s dance company here in NYC is a not for profit, eligible for your end of year donation to help with the financial hit from cancelling shows at the Kennedy Center dovadance.org/support/
I just donated in solidarity and I hope you will too.

“It is financially devastating but morally exhilarating,” [Doug Varone] said in an email.”
More and more artists and companies cancel their performances at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in protest of the center being renamed to include Trump’s name. The latest to cancel is a prominent New York dance company Doug Varone and Dancers.

Early 90s, nyc soho, 3am. On my way home from a club, stopped in a bodega, empty until Laurie Anderson walked in. She bought a single apple, put it in a black metal lunchbox, and left

AI is a goddamn disaster on every level and every time someone tells me they use ChatGP for something, I immediately lose respect for them.
New from me: The storied fiddler Ashley MacIsaac wanted to play a show at a Nova Scotia First Nation. It got cancelled because Google's AI search summary incorrectly called him a sex offender. Now he's worried for his safety www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/arti...
