I post mostly about #LFC, music, and U.S. politics, and that last one only because our politicians are shit.

I dig it! I’m feeling like the Knack or Only Ones but any way you slice it, it’s good catchy guitar pop. 😎

Where do we think his actual shoulders are underneath all that padding. He (as usual) looks ridiculous.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

everyone knows you also have to wipe out the indigenous population and import other people as a permanent slave class to build the colony. only then do you get to own it
Trump talks about Denmark and Greenland just now: "The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission.

The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.

I didn't realize how perfect Matt Berninger's voice is for covering New Order songs until he covered a New Order song. 😂 And maybe not "a" New Order song, but "the" New Order song. I want to hear more of these!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=csLf...

PSA: Guns aren't defense, they're offense.

(And, IMO, offensive)
yesterday: confirmed TdA affiliation, agent fired “a defensive shot”

today: “suspected” TdA affiliation, no statement about number of shots

Wow. 10 years without Bowie means…10 years without my dad.

Bowie released Blackstar on his 69th birthday, then died two days later.

I listened to the elegaic album, one that seems obvious to me Bowie knew would be his final artistic effort during his lifetime, while watching my dad wither.

🧵
I've had David Bowie on the mind all week, between the 10th anniversary of "Blackstar" and the forthcoming anniversary of his passing. Shared some thoughts -- and a new playlist to start the year -- below.

Worth a repost. When they lie to your face knowing that you know it’s a lie it’s about power and not the lie.
They want to make you feel hopeless, that even in the face of undeniable facts they can say and do whatever they want.
Don’t feel hopeless, that’s what they’re counting on
As I’ve said I’m rewatching Andor and I know I’ve posted this before but this speech is more relevant with every day.
Truth is not some abstract thing, it is a basis for much of what holds our society together. Without an objective truth, we are lost #Andor #truth

Gotta remember too Dom watched Barnabás Varga go down with a head injury so I'm sure some of that was in his head watching Martinelli throw the ball at Conor & try to push him off the pitch.

I get wanting to win & thinking time-wasting, but take a breath & ease up, dude. #LFC #ARSLIV

#LFC Listening to John Oliver's recent show on the @meninblazers.bsky.social podcast and some things surfaced for me.

We had 7 players move in, which means we had 7 move out. All are considered first-team players (maybe not Leoni). But essentially half the squad. That's big churn for any team.

Today is very bad and we should all be very angry but I am here to remind us that the birthday we are celebrating this year is not for the Constitution but for our rebellion against monarchy. The sincerest form of flattery is imitation.

Let's be serious for a moment: the problem with "defund the police" wasn't that it was a shit slogan. It was because the slogan was deployed in a context of omnipresent white supremacy, and sought to target one of its most effective tools: the police. And it did so through targeting its resources.
Sherrilyn, It was. A slogan has one job and it fucked itself, setting back real reform and driving a wedge between those committed to such and so many potential allies. Bury it. Move on to any number of alts: Police the Police, End The Drug War, Mass Incarceration is a Crime, Demilitarize Policing.

Endorsed.
I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.
