During the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, underground bands played in tiny venues and distributed their music via bootleg cassettes. Artist Iván Navarro is resuscitating their work via his label, Hueso Records.
It's "the soundtrack to Operation Condor," he says.

If you saw MOCA's "MONUMENTS" and your bodily cells were rearranged by Davóne Tines and THE TRUTH's arrangement of "Let It Shine" — heard in a video Tines made with Julie Dash — you can find the song on YouTube where thankfully you can listen to it over and over and over...

Really enjoying Sterlin Harjo’s “The Lowdown” and feel the need to point out that Ethan Hawke’s bookstore in the show is named for an owl which screams HARBINGER. 🦉

The country's largest aircraft carrier is expected to join thousands of service members in the northern Caribbean Sunday. But it's unclear if President Trump will use military force.

TikTok has been wild over the last 48 hours: Megyn Kelly is getting absolutely ROASTED over her pedo rationalizations and Black medical Tok is coming out in force after a viral video showed an ER nurse ignoring a Black woman in labor. The internet is vile, but it can also be amazing.

President Trump is planning a formal dinner for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his trip to Washington, a man the U.S. intelligence community concluded approved the killing and dismemberment of Post opinion columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

I really need to see a pic of some earnest Chicagoan giving this to the Pope at a meeting in the Vatican. (Like the Peruvians who showed up with squash.)
"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

The Trump admin is planning to say that being from Cuba (or any other travel ban country) is a "significant negative factor" that could lead to a denial of any of several discretionary immigration benefits (like green cards).
Seriously; national origin discrimination as official government policy.

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.
