Also, they want to make content. And that means they are going to take the worst stuff people say in response to them (this being the internet, some of which might be quite bad) and splash it across the official comms organs of every major federal law enforcement agency. So take that into mind.
The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

Mike Johnson, Trump, and their an ilk can't stand free speech. That's why they have to strawman protest, and paint the world in nihilistic terms. They cry like children whenever anyone has a critique. Instead of responding to the critique, they disparage people.

the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on

The punk ethos has always been about mutual aid and community. We *know* our systems and institutions will fail us; that’s why we’re punks. “Pick someone up in the pit” is much more than literal, and especially when we’re most down in the shit, we need to remember that.
Good morning I’m in @theverge.com profiling @ekkoastral.bsky.social @jael.bsky.social and some other cool trans musicians who are bringing the organizing energy they learned from being trans online to music venues across the country. These musicians are meeting the moment.
The DIY and IRL energy of punk rock mutual aid
Bands like Ekko Astral are bringing the urgency of online solidarity into the mosh pit.

What are some of your "bad habits" as an artist in whatever medium?
I overuse em dashes and have to shave off many to sharpen their impact. As a fiction writer I often sit back down to a manuscript and find I slipped into present tense at and point (which is a screenwriting thing).

The hypocrisy is ASTOUNDING. It's ok for ice to racially profile people, which has led to constitutional violations, attempts to redistrict for Black voters isn't ok and DOES violate the constitution.

If the Supreme Court thinks everyone deserves "equal protection" under the law, it should be patently illegal to withhold funding, already allocated, from political opponents. The animus is apparent and anyone who doesn't see either doesn't want to, or just sure agrees with the approach.

D'Angelo died yesterda. There's something about artists dying that hits a particular emotion, especially when their work is meaningful to you. It signifies, even if microscopically, the fact that your cultural moment faded a bit more and will one day be extinguished.

I'd be lying if I denied there was satisfaction that comes from seeming weird in public. For me this often means occupying strange locations/poitions to get a shot I see in my head, like laying on the sidewalk to capture particulary beautiful crack.

The firms include one owned by Jared Kushner and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. This is sportswashing at its finest. Never, as either a young kid into games or a PhD student writing about them, did I think we would be at this unsettling intersection of gaming, politics, and global capital.

Can't decide if they want federalism or a unitary state, so they claim to be federalist while making sweeping proclamations.

I've been an avowed em dash user since I discovered its flexibility in college. I overused it in grad school and I'm still in recovery.

This administration, and especially the ideologies underpinning it, don't actually care about "hate speech." Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled for a joke/opinion is a new fucking low, and scares me regarding the trajectory of creative expression. ABC should be ashamed. Disney should be ashamed.
