You can read all the history you want about this country and still be unprepared for just how much of a nut bar he is.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

It’s not the racism that surprises me so much as the inexhaustible number of ways that the racism is repackaged as anything other than racism.

WFMU’s Hellraiser fundraiser runs through October and gets us through the winter months, when the funds we raised in our spring Marathon are dwindling. There will be countless special programs throughout the month. Help us out with a donation and grab one of two new T-shirts. pledge.wfmu.org

I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

Do you know about these record clubs that sends you 3 records a month for like $90 + tax and shipping? You’re basically paying $60 to avoid going to a record store.

That makes total sense. But AI, say, fully integrated into our military seems like a serious threat regardless of whether it maps perfectly onto a Skynet narrative. Engaging with these losers over the details feels like bait-taking. However we or they want to frame it, there’s a threat.

These guys sound like nut bars, but honest question, why is the left, broadly speaking, suddenly against this idea that AI poses an existential threat?

Natethek @natethek.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Why is the vanguard left take on AI suddenly that it’s not an existential threat? Is it because the take that “it will k*ll us all” is being manipulated by douchebags? I’m behind on this a bit. Someone explain.

the way to understand a piece like this from schmitz is that he lives in an urban, cosmopolitan millieu and the popularity of country music is a novelty to him. and so to explain it, he has to fit it into his volkish conception of america, whether or not that makes any actual sense.

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

RIP Dolly Parton ❤️ Here's a lovely Dolly story: We worked together on "Transamerica." She told me that the bible passage that used to puzzle her the most was, "the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." She said, "How the heck do you sin against the Holy Ghost, and-

The thing people should know about ZZ Top is that those early records, like Tres Hombres for example, are the gold standard for how rock records should sound. Immaculately recorded records, true auteur stuff, albums that set out to be exactly what they are
