Guys I figured it out, what we’re going to do is take all that expired “what’s at stake?” away from the art world and art schools and redirect it to the derivative counterrevolutionary pop/indie music universe. Reuse recycle.

Boomer relatives have declared the living room an autonomous zone and in lieu of revolutionary praxis have opted to cover Creep by Radiohead for the past 20 minutes on the acoustic guitar(s)

Condolences to millennials who spent the last two decades unsuccessfully toiling to mimic genX’s economically unreproducible diy/punk ethos blueprint and then get to watch this shit happen lol

every now and then i agree with takes like “let’s not celebrate individual deaths” and this isn’t one of those times
Dick Cheney, widely regarded as the most powerful vice president in American history, who was George W. Bush’s running mate in two campaigns and his most influential White House adviser in an era of terrorism, war and economic change, died on Monday. He was 84. nyti.ms/4nADo6Y

Just a reminder not to play any of the stupid games on here (or anywhere!) that make you choose which three records you'll keep or one region of food or one place to visit: these are ALL ops that are meant to train us to austerity.

We can have more! We insist!

Art school mentality: Being a true artist is making a lot of work and knowing how to talk about it.

Real life mentality: Being a true artist is owning a used flat file.

Hot take on a hot day - what if I told you falling for the “Trump & Vance are in charge, not the MIC” line is just as gullible and fucked as libs falling for the WMD redux nuclear weapon threat propaganda 22 years ago?
