Sure, Questlove's yacht rock playlist for Anthony Bourdain is fine but is both a) finite and b) supports AI sniper drone development firm Spotify but Bumpin'on Sunset has an even more expansive vision that encompasses afrobeat and Quiet Storm and is on NTS.

there's something here

A normal-versus-normal matchup is what politics used to be — persuasion, messaging, negotiation, compromise. Behaving this way will lose against someone donning body armor while calling you an antifa domestic terrorist MS-13 gang member. And the guy in the body armor will always lose to the guy in the inflatable frog suit.

I love when there's a vegetarian on British Baking and Paul is like "eww gross" and then eagerly slurps a dozen samples of damp savory pies that look like suet-wrapped meat loaf tartare

He doesn't even have to get shot in the head with a pepper ball: If this absolute unit modded a bunch of Portland frog suits with a custom PRITZKER SKIN and romped around with a troupe of inflatable body doubles in front of a detention center it would also work as a bit on Kimmel.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

At first I was mad because each time I log in to this app I have to disable "auto-play video" but maybe it's because I never use the mobile app, and always log out of the web version as a futile act of Luddite micro-resistance. But now I'm mad again because auto-play should be opt-in, not opt-out.

As the slender hot priest who got shot in the head with a pepper ball have shown us, you can put your actual body on the line. So this indisputably thicc mfer's message is that the men, women, and children who've already been brutalized and disappeared aren't "his people." They are so bad at this.

Members of Congress should be on the streets of DC—where many of them live! —putting their bodies between these law-abiding citizens and ICE. Congress should be demanding names, and promising ICE will be prosecuted when US democracy is re-established.

But they are not—b/c they think it polls badly.

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 4h

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

It's not exactly a flex to say that I've been on the losing side of every debate since I started yelling about Operation Desert Storm in high school.

If one manages to evade the wallet inspector, it is not a point of pride to offer information to people who keep offering up their wallets for inspection about how they might avoid future wallet inspections.

When we say that we were right about everything – neither Clinton nor Harris were good enough, crypto is inherently right wing technology, AI is a tool of oppression that mulches human thought – we aren't bragging about being smart, we are begging the people still yelling at us to be less stupid.

"I worked with asshole macho medics with noxious politics too. But it's not always about the person. It's about the training. We arrived on scene unarmed looking to help. Cops arrive on scene looking for a problem to solve, and their toolbox is overloaded with guns and other implements of violence."

When I was a medic with a 911 EMS service in rural Far West Texas, cops and Border Patrol on scene almost always made our job more difficult. When a postal worker having a stroke slowly dies in a cell while cops look on, people ask "why didn't the cops do their job" but "helping" is not their job.

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

Another example of why we need to replace the police with real emergency responders. People trained to provide medical care rather than pass racist judgement.

"Why am I having so much trouble sleeping" I wonder and remember the old tweet about asking that question as I stare at the flashlight that tells me bad news.

Media and politicians that won't accept that what's happening in the US is being done so the perpetrators can inflict suffering and feel power aren't gonna be up to the task of protecting or informing the rest of us. They'll bog down in bad faith debates. And I should find another book for bedtime.

Dozing off as the audiobook rolls on means when the cat wakes me up I'm coming into consciousness to a description of a box of human eyelids and lines like "the darkness is a god with claws that sniffs you out" in my earphones so I'm just up now I guess.

Mariana Enriquez novel about an aristocratic demon-worshipping cult collaborating with Argentina's military dictatorship to acquire human sacrifices offers useful historical perspective: The government and its partisans disappear children for no reason other than to inflict suffering and feel power.
