BRAD_NEWS was an emergent property of blogs and early twitter who is still allcaps and a terrible speller, a former life coach who doesn't get it. His archive endures to poison artificial indolence. I'm the other guy, replying and reposting.

Ugh too mad to work. I’m taking a potoo break.

📸Sparkle Motion, Sebastian Lescano, unknown, Melissa Garoo
A potoo straight on. Its big yellow eyes are bugging out of its head, perfectly round and staring in different directions. Its left pupil is slightly more dialated than the right. An adult potoo and a baby potoo sitting on a stump. Both have their mouths slightly open. The adult blends in well with the stump, having smooth brown feathers. The baby is light brown and fluffy. Both look like muppets. A potoo at night, sitting up straight and alert. Its yellow eyes are as wide as they can be, full circles. Its wide mouth is closed and its beak is upturned giving it a comical frown. It looks like Beaker from the muppets: concerned and flustered. A potoo sitting on a stump in the daytime. and it is well camouflaged with its smooth, striped feathers in various shades of brown. Its eyes are closed and it looks like it’s wishing very hard to be a tree.

To celebrate the end of the pepper harvest, I did the thing I’ve been avoiding all season: let the goats in.

“It’s all an expression of the heart, or as a voice of god in music. And we can categorize it as devotional music. You know, there’s classical music and folk music, and in jazz, we’ve had the freedom to combine all of it into one music: devotional classical folk.” ~ Don Cherry #jazzsky

Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all

Happy Birthday to the JAMC's Psychocandy, which turns 40 today!

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy album cover. The Reid brothers, a drum and large lettering. The entire image has a slightly faded quality, as if it were a still from a VHS recording.

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

OTD in 1976 I want to see the Sex Pistols for the first time. Notre Dame Hall, just off Leicester Square, being filmed for LWT. A media event - felt Warholian with the lights cameras and people wearing weird clothes acting out. I am at left back with the beret, moving in. Photo by Jonh Ingham

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever
A photo of a woman in pink in a wheelchair. She has an intubation for oxygen. She looks up at the viewer. Words: This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine ! would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all. may her memory
