please give me more sad dad bands
I have obviously way too much to do today, but I'm overdue for additions to the Sad Dad Bands playlist, so I'm taking suggestions.
Couple tips:
One* post per band
This is modern Sad Dads, so not granddad rock, that's different
Music for dads of all genders counts
*My repeats don't count

There's a timelessness to plucked strings, an urgency to triumphant bass, an enduring loneliness to warbled lyrics. It fits the places you linger on nights she has the kids: breweries, street-side cafes. You've plotted your retirement: away from the city, in the high desert of 8pm closings.

Merry Christmas everybody.
With Christmas approaching, celebrations in Haifa were met with chaos after Israeli police stormed the Wadi al-Nisnas neighbourhood, arresting and beating Christians in the area.

It's true that all the worst people in this country are using the shooting in DC to push their vision of impermeable borders, but they were already doing that and would be doing it regardless of events. For Miller, everything is justification for deportations and migrant bans. He cannot he appeased.

Today's must-read by @thomasbirm.bsky.social: a major corporate landlord is fueling homelessness across the U.S. *and* the mass displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank.
The Israeli company owns tens of thousands of apartments in the South, filing evictions at nine times the national average.

The Eviction Kings
One of Israel’s biggest companies is taking over huge swaths of US real estate—and tenants are paying the price.

Let's try something new.
If you donate to a food bank and tell me how much and which one, I'll match your donation.
If it's less than $50, I'll round up.
Tag me, reply here, or DM if you prefer.
Why food banks? Because if we want to survive a general strike, we need to keep people fed.

Now is a really good time to donate to food banks, and do food runs for mutual aid groups. Also, do menstrual product runs.
I wonder how much food theft spikes with desperate people just trying to feed their families. I'm sure there will be a media panic about it.

Everything else aside, are people shooting crack these days?
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”
Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

The lawsuit payouts will be in the millions as well. Something needs to change.
UPDATE: The City of LA has spent $19.7 MILLION so far in response to the June protests against ICE.
This spans a week-and-a-half thru June 16, 2025.
(These do not include potential lawsuits or liability claims)

For people with darker skin injured at protests, and the lawyers representing them:
The difficulty of diagnosing and photographing bruises in victims with darker skin is a consistent factor not only in delayed diagnosis and treatment, but also in smaller settlements in lawsuits.
