Lungs are so delicate, man. There’s a reason that they’re the hardest to transplant well.

If your newspaper doesn't have no kings as the top us story today, throw it in the trash and don't look back

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

A crowd of 600-plus lined about half a mile of Prince Avenue/Jefferson Road for today’s nationwide No Kings protest, greeting incoming Dawg fans.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

It’s fun to remember that at least 5 amazing artists cross-pollinated two of the greatest TV shows of all time (MTV Unplugged and The Adventures of Pete and Pete):
- Syd Straw (‘89 pilot)
- LL Cool J (‘91 YO! Unplugged)
- Michael Stipe (‘91/‘01)
- Toby Huss (‘94 Spoken Word II)
- Alicia Keys (‘05)

it is my pleasure to report they are indeed mad as fuck on the other site over being blocked and ignored. keep up the excellent work everyone

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.
Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.
It’s being real weird for me too
Well, those weren’t the two Regionals locations I was hoping for

I CANT BELIEVE MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN FINANCIAL CRISES AND UGGS
ooo Tony Hawk games for sure right?
Nah it’d be rad and a good chance to meet the neighbors without having to do an awkward introduction thing
The fuck even is this week, man…
What?!!
I can’t overly romanticize the band for any number of reasons but being born in 1971, by the dawn of the eighties they were this ambient force, like maybe them and the Beatles were the only two bands per se I knew of by name. He was part of it all. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

The Sugar news and Bob Mould's birthday made re-visiting COPPER BLUE a no-brainer. Sculpting distortion and multi-tracking like a dance deejay does throb, build, and release, Mould used his recombinant craftsmanship to a lifetime of anxieties. humanizingthevacuum.wordpress.com/2025/10/16/a...
A good idea: Sugar’s ‘Copper Blue’
Oh, look, it’s Granny Cool. When “Helpless” became a hit on my college station in the fall of 1992, I didn’t need to know a thing about its singer or his former band: he sou…

I became the villain of middle school church camp when I whipped a pillow at the girl singing “Rise and Shine and Give God the Glory.” Six am is too early for that, Haley.
I have held this as long as a body can hold it. I need to live my truth: morning people are annoying af.

Thank you.

a solid 30% of my job is making sure people know:
- you don’t have to let assholes into your event or bar
- you don’t have to talk to assholes especially if they are filming you
- you don’t have to accept assholes in your civic org
- you don’t have to take assholes’ bad-faith inquiries seriously
you have the right to not hang out with assholes. you deserve not to hang out with assholes. you are under 0 obligation to socially interact with assholes in your free time.

it is truly terrible that our culture tricked so many people into thinking that they’re obliged to be friends with assholes!
we have spent the last decade witnessing a national epidemic of “it should be illegal to not hang out with me just because I’m a mean asshole” behavior
