Congrats, folks, after 3 years of genocide, 20 of siege & blockade, 59 of occupation & apartheid, 78 of ethnic cleansing, and a century and a half of colonization - all enabled & justified by media like the New York Times - we've finally reached peak Hot Dog Suit Guy
A fair question: How did humanity allow Gaza to happen? And the answer is not just about Israel, but also about the role of the US in particular in providing the 2,000-pound bombs and diplomatic support that resulted in this. Democrats and Republicans alike bear responsibility.

Iggy Pop described the new Protomartyr as "highly themed & symphonic in its reach. I could call it a kind of drive-through Sgt. Peppers, but that would miss the mark." For POW, @UbuPamplemousse writes a poignant essay about "Hotel Usona," the bleak moment, and trying to "find hope in a dismal establishment." powmag.net/p/protomartyr-hot…

This video is a fictional conversation created by editing clips from separate unrelated interviews; David Byrne and Ed Sheeran never met or had this exchange. It is from the parody series "The Talk". youtu.be/_iUcGfxEWtY jonasholleruphelle.com/thetalk/

imagine if someone in 2016 told me that in 10 years I’d have more respect for Macklemore than Radiohead. the kind of prediction that medieval kings used to kill their seers for making.
