YEARLIST. I love this to bits, and I have done this for twenty years now. From tomorrow onwards, I'll start sharing my top 30 of the year. But I first want to start with some shout-outs, records that I really liked but that just fell short. I still love them.

The lid of a jar of crispy chili oil came loose in my bag, and now everything is slippery but smelling divine.

I truly think seeing Strike Anywhere in 2001 turned my mind towards positive resistance. Like, rage, scream, but also: work together and change things.

Scream out against the void
Communicate, not separated
We live to arm this joy"

For those of you who are still willingly sweeping allegations made against Kneecap under the carpet, you should take the time to watch the following video: www.instagram.com/reel/DUBw00P...

and when you’re done with that, you should read these statements: www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2...

BlueSky, hulp nodig voor een wonder!
Een vriendin van mij is dakloos en dat is een groot probleem. Ze gaat er fysiek aan onderdoor deze winter.
Ze heeft woonruimte nodig in Ede of omliggende dorpen. Gewoon een kamer met gedeelde faciliteiten is al prachtig. Ze heeft inkomen, kan huur betalen.

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

We also made a Sinister Minnesotans hoodie and onesie.

All proceeds go to aid organizations in Minnesota refusing to back down from the ICE agents polluting their great state.

Fuck ICE, and thank you to @raygunsite.com and @wardsutton.bsky.social for the hustle.

No one working for ICE will be brought to justice. May death find them quickly.

@daisygoldmi.bsky.social made me nostalgic so I am watching old Shikari shows I was at and I really, really, really loved this band.

Last week, I used the soaking water for my chilies as the water for my loaf of bread. The rise during the second proofing was INSANE. Fluffiest bread EVER. Anyone have any theories there? I mean, I tried regular recipe just now, and it's all same as always. Might I have stumbled onto something?

When you take a train earlier so you are at work in time and then they let the train after, that you avoided because you wanted to be at work earlier, pass first and then the train still hasn't moved and no one has told you anything. That feeling.

Grateful to @geneweingarten.bsky.social for bringing up a story of a murder in the Civil Rights era that I had never heard of, one that has particular relevance right now.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

There's a meme with a band post saying "Big Things Are Coming!" and I am the living embodiment of this. I just love making plans, going out on a limb and seeing things work. Or not. But bands: always just fucking try.

Also: death to ICE.

This is a good story.
A pleasing coda to this: someone appears to have tracked down the picture in question. I'm delighted by how cheerful it looks. bsky.app/profile/rufu...

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
