what if I spent my whole life on complex, abstract, hard to understand art that I believed was a path to potentially coming to a greater understanding of the universe and then all it took was “yeah fuckin melting democracy”

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 15h

A large ice sculpture of the word “Democracy” was placed on the National Mall on Wednesday morning in direct view of the U.S. Capitol as a vanishing reminder of rapidly eroding rights and an existential threat to the freedom on which America was founded.

I have been stopping at this gas station in Stone Ridge NY for seven years and this weird gross little red plastic pot has not moved an inch in that entire time. I need to know what it is and why it’s here but I cannot ask.

great album

Sarah Hennies @sarahhennies.bsky.social · 14d

I cannot for the life of me understand why this has a reputation as being lesser Fugazi. Total masterpiece with a huge emotional and sonic impact. 1998 was a weird year.

I never really listened to Fugazi’s “End Hits” because it came out at a time when I was totally checked out of rock music but I gotta tell ya, it’s really fuckin good!
