I think a fresh intro is due: I live in the PNW, obsessed with local and alternative/DIY music of nearly any genre (but especially #emo, #mathrock, #punk, #ska, #ska-punk). Nerd. Many fandoms but especially #StarTrek and #FriendsOfDeSoto. "Possibly the cutest rodent" according to Archie McPhee.

What's worse than this is that it will hardly make a blip in the news cycle, and will get a lot of "Yes, but..." responses and accusations of "pearl-clutching" from the other neo-Nazis currently masquerading as leaders of our government

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

The best thing I've done with my phone is assigning the Star Trek: TNG torpedo launching sound effect to the family group chat. Every flurry of animated family texts is accompanied by a Mr. Worf-Fire-At-Will barrage of pew-pew-pew sounds 💥💥💥#FriendsOfDeSoto #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG

Today I've listened to new music released this week by Sugar, Weird Nightmare, Meadow Gallery, and Kim Petras, which I think has earned me the Apple Music "We don't know what the f*ck to do with your algorithm" award

a man in a top hat is talking to another man in a suit and says you 're really weird .

1.) One of those „kids“ is a state senator in Vermont. (They’re not kids)
2.) kids are bigots is a weird stance
3.) going full boys will be boys about the „I love Hitler“ chat is quite a choice
4.) What else to expect from a guy who still follows Bronze Age Pervert on X? (Rhetorical question)

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

some evenin' walkin' out by the farm, sayin' "what's good?" to some cows

Mt. Si at dusk with some dark green trees, a white farmhouse, and some cattle grazing in a brown field in the foreground.

A black cow with a calf behind her, standing in a field behind some barbed wire fencing.

The Tollgate farmhouse, white with brown timber decorated doors and a roll-up metal door in the dimly lit early evening. The Tollgate Farm sin on the farmhouse is lit by amber lights.

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

Genuinely tempted to fly out to one of them from Seattle but probably a stretch to pull it off right now. Very cool that you're doing them though-such an absolute classic album

Yeah, I'm only a few years older than D'Angelo - that kind of freaks me out

Me: the sheer volume of reminder texts & messages from my dentist for my cleaning appointment is really annoying

Also Me: yeah, I'm still sorry about that one time I totally spaced on my appointment

Howie Cohen @howiecohen.bsky.social · 2d

the part I was least prepared for about getting older, is the steady stream of losing friends, family, and icons that I just assumed would somehow be around forever
