Honestly a pretty formative Pitchfork staff memory for me was when D'Angelo returned and started playing shows. I probably watched him cover "Space Oddity" 50 times when it happened. Black Messiah is a masterpiece. His cover of "Sometimes It Snows in April" still makes me cry. We didn't deserve him.

The solution for homelessness is housing, not "hard paternalism."

I was just thinking about how people blame homeless people for using the bathroom on the street when we haven't given them anywhere else to go (everybody poops, after all). And here you are blaming the people we force to shit on the street for forcing them to shit on the street. Remarkable.

ICE and local cops are brutalizing priests, politicians, and people in frog costumes already. People need to stop letting the cops and DHS separate us into good and bad protesters.

"Black bloc fighting cops" is copaganda that a lot of liberals have unfortunately fallen for. I've watched 100s of videos of cops attacking peaceful protesters that cops claimed were black bloc or outside agitators. Black bloc do not exist in anywhere near the numbers they're claimed to.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

We know that you know Israel is torturing Palestinians. A lot of politicians are relying on willful ignorance and denial (also bad!) but you know and still made this choice.

Erasing the Israeli torture of Palestinians is a hell of a choice

He's stolen from homeless people with his own hands on camera. And he's an anti-trans bigot. And he loves having white male conservatives on his podcast. He's a decent troll and a terrible person.

I am happy that more people see that the police state is a BIPARTISAN project.

the inverse of this is how much of politics is now just accepting that you have to vote for people who hate you, so your best option is to vote for people who hate other people more than they hate you

I think the main refreshing thing about Mamdani, for me, is that he actually likes New York City and wants to see it thrive for everyone.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

A photo of a light-colored cat with a gray face and ears and wide blue eyes. Unknown forces are holding up to the cat’s ear the handset of a beige antique-type touch tone phone. A rectangular speech bubble with a jagged tail has been drawn on the photo to indicate it is the sound coming out of the handset. Words inside the bubble read, ‘Maybe it will happen today…’
