I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

This reads like a long-lost Current 93 song.
And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die. He was unable to. He still walks among us, cursed to remember in a world where everyone has forgotten. He’s out there now, just beyond the light your lantern throws,

So bummed. I would buy used copies of The Aim EP and give out to friends in my zeal to spread the Gospel of Bailter Space.
If you don't know Gordons or Bailter Space, must hear. Robot World is one of the best records of the 90s, by far, noise guitar bliss. They get put in the 'shoegaze', but they were in their own category of dreamy sci fi noise rock. RIP drummer Brent McLachlan.
Extremely sad news that Brent McLachlan, the amazing drummer from New Zealand groups the Gordons and Bailterspace, has died after a long bout of ill health. He’d settled in the US and ran a studio in NYC; I was finally lucky enough to see Bailterspace live a couple of years back. Tremendous.

It was an honor to review & blurb the legendary Alice Gerrard's new memoir, out now w/ @uncpress.bsky.social!
I was trying to work in a mention of how she taught her dog to grab her a beer from the fridge (as just one example of her legendary status) but I couldn't quite make it work

Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all

I actually think that if you've made a career out of calling for violence and emboldening calls thereof, that having to taste your own medicine is in fact not only deserved but the moderate option in terms of consequences
No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

600k people murdered by a Nazi as part of a eugenic program to horde resources for white people. I think it's reasonable to call that a genocide.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I've never felt I had a place in the church because 🏳️🌈, but a queer-friendly resurgence of Maryknoll-flavored liberation theology would get my ass in the pews with a black lace mantilla on my head so fast...
Also all the hype about a fringe tradcath milieu that gained prominent recruits like JD Vance misses how much of the American Catholic hierarch from Pope Leo on down are more in the type of angry lib warrior priests

Am hearing now that on his deathbed, Dick Cheney unhesitatingly recited the shahada and embraced the light of Islam. Even now, he looks down upon the faithful from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but God, and Muhammad is his prophet!
