I'mma get back to writing more than one post every millennium! This one from Average White Band has dominated my life for a minute. I've had it on repeat for weeks. Incredible funk on here, and some skilled playing from the band that they make look easy. Wrote about it, check it out!

Average White Band - "When Will You Be Mine" - The Wildebeest.

Average White Band was anything but average, and "When Will You Be Mine" is a late-career highlight that is endlessly funky. A real gem.

When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. These days I'm glad I'm not, but don pettit and his yoyo still make me super happy.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Encourage your kids to read Clive Barker. I started with the BOOKS OF BLOOD when I was in 7th grade, and, as a white, cis-het boy growing up in a small Ohio town, those stories exposed me to an unabashedly queer perspective via the horror genre. They rewired my brain. Harry Potter is Chosen One pap.

Bimbo is actually short for bisexual himbo. A herbo is a sentient car that is not very knowledgeable, but kind, with plenty of horsepower. A real muscle car. Herbie's hot cousin.

My latest @npr.org story: Under President Trump, the Justice Department is starting to step away from legal actions that had begun during the Biden administration to combat racial discrimination in elections — including voting rights cases in Louisiana, Texas and Georgia’s Houston County

The most shocking thing about the hegseth war plans isn't that he drunk-dialed the editor in chief of the Atlantic on it, but that no one was commenting on it being abnormal to be evading government oversight via a back channel. Lots of emojis, no one going "wait why are we using signal wtf?"

A new post! One thing is for sure: When Yellowman chats, you must listen. This listen is a classic, and every so often I revisit it and I'm like, yeah, this is the good stuff. Wrote about it, check it out!

Yellowman - "Zungguzungguguzungguzeng" - The Wildebeest.

Dancehall pioneer Yellowman's '83 single is legendary for it's incredible riddim and phenomenal boasting and raps from the don. Mesmerizing.

@beyer.house.gov an interesting idea. I was on the town hall tonight, and I liked what Congressman beyer said about not attending, but this is an interesting idea for counter programming if enough other Dems agree to participate

Call it the Musk-Trump Veteran Firing Program. Nearly a third of the federal workers are veterans, and the figure is much higher at DoD. Musk and Trump are going to fire tens of thousands of American veterans, on top of the thousands they already fired. “Thank you for your service, you’re fired.”

@shaenon.bsky.social have you thought about doing some protest art over this nonsense, maybe something supporting federal workers? Also, I don't see a Patreon in your bio, I am long overdue for chipping in, how can I support your work more?

Portishead. Please come back and put out a new album. Pls. My family is sick. A fave. Ominous as fuck. Spent a long time trying to decipher the counting in the background. The tune originally came from The United States of America's '68 track, "The American Metaphysical Circus." 🎧
