Starting a running thread of new music I’m listening to. Goal is one new album a day.
First up, Architects’ first album Hollow Crown. Great stuff. If I’d snagged it in 2009 when it released, it would have become a sizable part of my personality. I can see why Architects has the following they do.

This is good. Saying that accepting immigrants is American is good.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

The reactionary worldview is shot through with a deep-seated disdain for America.
In this post, for example, the underlying assumption is that there is nothing special about America's institutions and laws, its civil services, its patterns of life and social norms, its historical developments.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

I think weed is the opposite of alcohol in that the more you do it in private, the healthier your relationship to it is
Weed as a drug is cool and fine, partake if you want, but the minute you graduate college it needs to stop being a part of your personality

Most of you are familiar with that picture of Jill Stein seated at the same table as Vladimir Putin at a 2015 RT gala but what you may not be aware of is that the people who went on to found the Grayzone also attended that event and shortly after returning began parroting Russian talking points
One of the weirder things of the past decade is watching the online creation of an an intransigent “left” in American politics that’s only served Russian interests of destabilization of the West and world order.

The legacy media, for all its many, many faults, loves to ride the lows as much as the highs, and right now Trump is looking really fucking low
the three stories at the top of the post app right now are 1) the fda is planning on further restricting covid vaccines based on evidence it hasn’t explained 2) trump saying he’s closing the airspace over venezuela without the power to do it 3) secdef probably committed war crimes

Also that everyone around him is all-in on everything that’s making them so unpopular. I really don’t see that changing.
Could they turn this around? Maybe. It ain't over.
But the trendline on the 'Trump regime' is bad and the people running it are not very capable.
Meanwhile mass protests suggest the balance of 'street violence' potential is not on the regime's side.

yes, I feel like you can safely ignore anyone who tells you with a straight face in 2025 that you can just do without a smartphone
This article makes really good points about the inability of most people to cut expenses without entirely losing the ability to participate in the economy. I get tired of people telling me to live cheaper by eliminating things that are necessary for modern life.
