My band CAN'T formed last year, and wrote and recorded an album in a DIY studio in my basement, 99% live.

Instrumental music that is experimental at times, so not for everyone...but maybe for you?

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
RIP Jack DeJohnette

Creeping out people with my masks since the 80s
Truly powerful and inspiring to see one of the best writers, Ta-Nehisi Coates, interviewed by one of the best historians, Elizabeth Hinton
This one is much better than I remember

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped
I hope I live long enough to see the history books mention Trump‘s crapping AI video.

Quite the “illustrative example” of the ridiculous era we live in.
We live in an incredibly dumb and disgusting era
President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

The Conrad film was a @danielbachman.bsky.social rec. fascinating and beautiful
Dead Wax on Cherokee. At a surprisingly decent price too!
The recent Velvet Underground doc is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Pairs very well with the Tony Conrad doc from 2014.
Those NYC drone cats were on to something

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

We’ve heard a lot of colossally stupid things from the Trump regime lately, but this is among the stupidest things I’ve heard from anyone, anywhere, ever.
Had tinnitus in my right ear for the last month.
Don’t think it’s ever going away.
Brutal

have always thought of the off-kilter handclaps on “Ain't That Easy,” which opens Black Messiah, as a statement of purpose. A way to keep out the normies used to slick-produced autotune pop.

Marian Wilson Kimber: It’s painful to realize the people in charge of Iowa’s history apparently have no idea how history works. If they did, they'd know there is no way to predict what parts of the collection will be of interest 5, 20, or 100 years from now. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/10/10/t...
