Part of the “25-30 infuriating things a day” approach is how much stuff like this we have to just shrug and accept and eventually eat. Watching the American Revolution, the act of REAL tarring and feathering stood out to me. Painful, scarring, cruel, humiliating. And sometimes, you didn’t make it
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

Happy Remaster Day to Let It Be (sounds great). When I finished my P4k internship, @markrichardson.bsky.social and Scott P. took me out to a bar and gave me a gift certificate to Laurie's (I think). I bought whichever LIB remaster that had just come out. An actual "that one changed my life" record

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”

As long as @stereogum.com is around, we have a music site that isn't run by private equity, isn't owned by a billionaire, isn't overrun with slop, isn't susceptible to pop-star over-flattery, isn't partnering with U.S. army, and isn't afraid to let me go long on Fiery Furnaces. We can't lose that.
