Two great underrated WA state bands on the same bill at an Olympia Pizzaria, Dec. 2008.
Talbot Tagora were a weirdo Seattle trio that should have been talked in the same breath as Thinking Fellers, rRope or Erase Errata.
And Sex Vid were a warped Seattle/Olympia/Austin hardcore band.

the parent of a trans kid in missouri begged the new york times not to use an audio clip in The Protocol podcast of a verbal confrontation with professional transphobe Jamie Reed out of fear of safety for her kid and NYT management refused her request.

i knew there was a reason i was loving this movie so much
it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

"The Hagley Digital Archives is currently offline due to a sustained bot attack" begins a message from the archive, explaining that AI is using bots to train machine learning learning models.

They contain slighting references to early Christians. It is hard for prosperous Christians of 1927 to realize that ancient prosperity looked upon early Christians as we look upon the Russian bolsheviki.
