No one in Detroit is doing anything even remotely like MRKT, easily one of the best bands in the city right now. Experimental space-prog inflected with jazz fusion and krautrock, incredible jams and unusual time signatures, totally fantastic live. Link to their music in comments!

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

I warn my followers not to buy Starbucks under any and all circumstances, it's TERRIBLE coffee. But I'm 100% a union supporter, all in. Here's a very wide-awake Ae'o reminding you all not to cross picket lines. :) 📷🌿🦉

detroit's ubiquitous u-buy-we-fry fish markets are a dodge around this, and i love them for it
Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

ron wyden looking straight at the camera and saying “taxation is the compromise”
There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.
Tesla shareholders have approved a pay package that could make CEO Elon Musk, already the world’s richest person, the world’s first trillionaire. https://cnn.it/43KZnkA

What last night proves, above all else, is that centrist Democrats like Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, and AOC can work together with moderate Republicans like Abigail Spanberger and Gavin Newsom to push back on MAGA fascism.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

let's hollow every institution out on a slow burn for a while until everyone is at the breaking point, and then let's turn loathsome kleptocrats loose with armed goons, tactical starvation, and gilded ballrooms. surely nothing could go off in a surprising direction

This is a plea to Massachusetts residents, particularly Cambridge residents and Harvard grads.
I've spend the last 3 years looking at old maps of western Jamaica while researching the history of absentee sugar planters who lived in Massachusetts while enslaving thousands of people in Jamaica.

#Jamaica needs our support more than ever right now and, never ones to shy away from self-reliance, they’ve set up an officially sanctioned website for recovery donations. The footage of Hurricane Melissa’s destruction in St. Elizabeth coming in from my family is HARROWING.
