The far right loves the U.S. like stalkers “love” their victims. They love an ideal in their heads—in this case, white and 19th century—and want to kill their love interest when they refuse to be that ideal.

We know it's your birthday, you opened your present after breakfast. What do you mean? Of course you opened your present, we all saw it, you got that sweater you're wearing. How could you have had that sweater for years if we all saw you get it this morning, why are you being this way?

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

I am beyond pleased to share that next weekend I will be presenting "1000-Footer," a new work commissioned by Experimental Sound Studio for the 24 channel array at the Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago. The program will be presented on Saturday Sept 12, Sunday Sept 13, and Monday Sept 14, all are free.
A flyer for the 2026 Sonic Pavilion Festival, presented by Experimental Sound Studio

Sonic Pavilion Festival 2026 presents seven 24-channel sound compositions for the globally unique trellised speaker array at Jay Pritzker Pavilion in the heart of downtown Chicago. The result is a canopy of sound—a fluid sonic architecture that bridges the focus of a live performance and the majesty of the surrounding cityscape.

This year’s Sonic Pavilion is part of America250, a national series of arts programs on the occasion of the 250th birthday of the United States. Each work draws inspiration from different communities in the U.S.

Saturday, September 12, 1-4pm
Sunday, September 13, 1-4pm
Monday, September 14, 5-8pm
All works play twice each day. Detailed schedule with play times below.

Jay Pritzker Pavilion
Millennium Park
201 E. Randolph St., Chicago, IL 60601

FREE and open to the public

Artists were selected in an international open call. The 2026 artists are:

Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh
Black Diamond (Hunter Diamond & Artie Black)
Courtney Werner & Many Hands (David Henderson)
Kikù Hibino & Traxman
Macie Stewart, Lia Kohl, Whitney Johnson

The thing about this that really sucks is in many places, 60 dBA is the municipal noise limit. I would bet they spent enough money to get to 59.5 dBA at the property line and not s penny more.

Nothing but respect for Dolly in this 1977 interview. Barbara Walters: “Do you ever feel like you’re a joke and people are laughing at you?” Dolly: “I know they make fun of me. But actually the joke is the public. I know exactly what I’m doing and I can change it anytime.”

Hong's rise in the Wisconsin Democratic primary has exposed a sharp divide, with some voters saying they would cross party lines in November rather than support a DSA-aligned candidate.

“Culture of impunity” is right. The demand is to never hold public figures accountable for wrongdoing, not even verbally when they’re already beyond the reach of human accountability and won’t hear the criticisms and jokes. The legacy must be sanitized, or current elites might feel less impunity.

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

Lemme explain what the words BELIEVE WOMEN should mean. They don't mean you have to believe women no matter what. They do mean that you have to treat women as a source the same way you'd treat a man.

I truly fucked up not doing my due diligence on Platner before offering high praise for his communication skills. Enough was out there at the time that I should have been more cautious. Especially because I met adventurer dudes like him reporting in Iraq. Deep respect to all who got it right. 1/2

If we want to talk about books that should be reprinted in original covers, this is the favorite I own: 1895 first US edition of "The King In Yellow."
1895 cover of "The King In Yellow" by R.W. Chambers bound in worn black cloth, illustrated with a yellow-robed figure with red wings and red halo.

Heartbreaking hearing that the woman who Platner raped was hesitant to come forward because she agreed with his politics and didn’t want to damage the movement. If you didn’t already realize, this sort of thing happens a lot you just don’t usually hear about it

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

Juneteenth can and should be recognized as a memorial of an important victory, but it also serves as a reminder: The Declaration of Independence and US Constitution contain powerful rhetoric of the promise of freedom, but the act of attaining it is a process, and we're still in the middle of it.

Here's my actual true opinion. The only way to fix all of this nonsense is rent affordability and health care . If people can afford the rent and get healthcare, then they can start and go to work for normal businesses, and write and make art and music. And there can be third places, etc etc.

political compass issue with authoritarian-libertarian and economic-left economic-right axes.

Authoritarian-left quadrant says: Everything is imperialism except actual imperialism, which is fine.
Authoritarian-right: Everything is genocide except actual genocide, which is fine.
Libertarian-left: Everything is theft except actual theft, which is fine.
Libertarian-right: Everything is slavery except actual slavery, which is fine.

I've added in the center: Everything is cancellation except actual cancellation, which is fine.
