Lots of music talk this week. The brilliance of Foxy Shazam, the return of Rush, the ethos (such as it is) of KISS, and a tribute to our fallen comrade Kerry Kompost, amongst all the usual nitwittery. As always, a good hang with my fellow spoonsters!

It’s a new Spoon, with @robbierist.bsky.social @morly11.bsky.social and @thombowers.bsky.social stirring it up trio style!

Dear #BlackChildren, you are just as beautiful, kind, smart, loving and talented as any other child in this world. I will not allow a cretin like Donald Trump speak ill of you without defending you. You keep your heads held high and your gait strong. You are loved.

So now that Conservatives have abandoned science, medicine, and in particular--vaccines, what's next?

My money is on sanitation.

In 2 years Charlie Kirk is going to be talking about the evils of Big Toilet and how real men just shit wherever they happen to be standing.

Let's watch.

Labor Day. Our best holiday!. No god, no phony patriotism, no glossed over history. Just a celebration of the hopes and dreams working people. The perfect holiday for the fascists to hate.
