I don't think this is going to change anyone's mind but Neil Young endorsing a corporate banker for Prime Minister is a thing that happened today.

I finally got to see her in concert in 2022 at McCabe's in Santa Monica, which is a delightfully intimate venue. I was so happy, and she gave a wonderful performance.
(Video not from McCabe's but this is still a lovely song)

This brings a tear the the eye of this aging punk rocker.
I played with the Dead Kennedy's at their first gig in Canada.
Their anthem Nazi Punks F--- Off caused bedlam.
I like this song better.

This is gutting. Outside was one of the main reasons I wanted to be a magazine journalist
As you may have heard, most (not all) of the people who produce Outside magazine (and the website) were laid off on Thursday. The ex-ME has a complete archive of issues going all the way back to the 1970s. If anybody knows of a library that might want to house these, lemme know.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
