Once again thinking about Ferguson. About the No DAPL protests, about Standing Rock. About the comrades who were out in the cold and faced state and federally sanctioned violence committed in the name of capital. All warnings of a world to come and we still didn't listen.
I kid you not when I tell you I think about Ferguson regularly. There's a reason the police reacted so violently and why their community leaders were "found dead" in the subsequent months. Incredible to hear of Josh's release.

A month ago, I became enthralled with the world of I Was Shot in the Heart, the debut LP from singer-songwriter The Male Pattern. It’s a concept album about alt-right radicalization, isolation, and masculinity; and it’s one of the best albums of 2026. getalternative.com/review-th…

Justice. 1 of my favorite songs of all time. If you haven't heard Erica Western Teleport, get on it right now
open.spotify.com/track/7HfFT…
I heard "Erica Western Teleport" was blowing up on Tiktok (agian?) so I searched it. It's true, and it's bigger than the last wave. It's freaking me out. The youth are dancing to a depressed 31-year-old me living in a rehearsal studio with no windows, pillow in a kick drum.
