In addition to the fact that it's very much the power imbalance and legal responsibility to protect them that makes them children, it's also disturbing that so many people are willingly like "listen, 15 year olds are hot, and that's a fact." They are children. They look like children.

100% of people know Trump's signature on that disgusting birthday card is real, just as 100% of people knew that Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill were telling the truth. The right is a force for violent misogyny and the media is mired in terminal, nonsensical bothsides-ism. So here we are.

Donald Trump repeatedly called Ted Cruz's wife ugly and, rather than stand up for her and for himself, he has spent the past nine years being Trump's lickspittle. That he thinks he has any standing to insult anyone is comical in the extreme.

Look, I’m never voting against Bad Religion until an album I truly, truly love forces me to. But this is also one of my least favorite Bad Religion albums, an opinion that is somewhat controversial amongst Bad Religion super fans.

Holy smokes, this is awesome! @vishkhanna.bsky.social is one of the best interviewers around and an enthusiast to the end. So exciting to see him get this kind of recognition.
With 'Kreative Kontrol' reaching 1,000 episodes this week, we talked to host @vishkhanna.bsky.social — and his frequent guests Ian MacKaye, U.S. Girls, and @cadenceweapon.bsky.social — about what makes the music and culture podcast so indispensable

Thank you Ozzy. For the perfect album (PARANOID), for every great metal band you inspired in some way (all of them), and for Ozzfest, an exhausting annual gauntlet of music that meant a lot to teenage me.

SOME GIRLS comes to mind. The early 2000s Bad Religion albums. NIN’s WITH TEETH.
here's a fun game if you're a music dork: what is the best album released by a music act at least 15 years after its debut album?

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Big Tech and the right love generative AI not in spite of the fact that it harms artists but because it does. Tech has spent decades systematically destroying artists’ ability to earn a living from their work, while making theft of that work both frictionless and profitable—for them.

Coens! They’ll obviously do both eventually so I’m basing this entirely on which filmography will be more fun AND that I prefer greatly (PTA is fine).
We've reached the Final Four of 2025 Blank Check March Madness! This month has just FLOWN by.
