There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking”

Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.

I love the Internet Archive live audio recordings… thank you to all you tapers out there putting in the effort and the bands that are cool with it. #JamBands

Partial screenshot of Internet Archive webpage for the live recording of Umphrey’s McGee March 11, 2026 concert. Header with Archive logo which is a stylized greek parthenon and Internet Archive in all caps. Below is the WinAmp Player, 12:35 time stamp , “2x2” song playing, with equalizer settings and upcoming track list visible as well as various music playback controls in old style of computer music player interface.

Going through a few rough weeks personally, but listening today to this @umphreys.com show on the Archive is bringing me much joy. I dig that I can listen old school with the embedded WinAmp player (& EQ the show a bit to tailor to my ears). @goldlikejoel.bsky.social

we should make American voters get a tattoo on their arm that says DON'T TRUST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY because otherwise they're basically all that guy from Memento every second election cycle.

So if anybody -- state attorneys general, Democratic politicians, sentient beings -- doesn't understand why Paramount Skydance's takeover of Warner Bros./CNN is a huge problem, Pete Hegseth is here to explain it to you.

Stop the propaganda. Block this merger.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Meta has deliberately cut civil rights and civil liberties out of its calculus. As an internal Meta memo reasoned, “Many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.” The company presumably sees a business opportunity in the ongoing assault on American democracy. That’s where Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, is wrong: We are paying attention, and we understand clearly that this technology is part of that very same assault on our rights. We are always ready to fight, and we will continue to defend everyone’s rights — from both the government and Big Tech.

It was recently leaked that Meta plans to quietly roll out smart glasses equipped with facial recognition while civil liberties groups like ours are busy dealing with the Trump administration.

They're wrong. We can walk and demand Meta halt production on these creepy glasses at the same time.

My main take away from all of this is to try to live life in such a manner that you never need to do an emergency pod with Andy Frasco.

Idaho Legislature introduces Medicaid expansion repeal bill • Idaho Capital Sun After several legislative moves to punt decisions on Medicaid budget cuts, Idaho lawmakers introduced a bill to repeal Medicaid expansion.

The bill would repeal Medicaid expansion on Jan. 1, 2028. That would remove roughly 90,000 Idahoans from the health insurance public assistance program. #idleg #idpol

Graphic with the copy, “Bandcamp Friday,” in a playful soft rounded display font offset from the baseline centered within it. Below that the text, “ March 6,” appears, font most likely from the sans serif Helvetica family. Background appears to be a light purple simple flower shape, with a medium green background peaking through as well.

Hey, it's a @bandcamp.com Friday! On BC F'days, they waive their revenue share & pass the funds directly to artists & labels. It’s a fantastic way to pick up some new tunes, and get more of the money into their hands directly.

Y'all, get ready for shenanigans and confusion in November, because voter suppression is coming hard for middle-class white folks. I'm Williamson County, I left to vote at 2pm and didn't get home till 7:15pm. This county is more diverse than when I moved here 20 years ago, but still very white. 1/9

Okay. 90s style was cool not because every looked the fucking same, but because you could actually express your OWN SENSE OF STYLE. Most things were thrifted, so you picked out your own skirt, your own giant flannel, your own weird message tee. You wore your mom’s old bell bottoms.
