Part one of my all time favorite albums is up!

Hey all! I've been hard at work putting together this list of my 500 favorite albums of all time. It probably sounds silly, but I take this list very seriously. I carefully consider what makes an album impactful to me, and rank them as accurately as possible. These reasons vary, and are often very much subjective. In the end, this list is just my personal taste.

This is worth reading, in my opinion: https://thebaffler.com/salvos/of-flying-cars-and-the-declining-rate-of-profit

Via Scott MacFarlane:

After FBI director raised question of whether #Trump was hit by bullet or shrapnel,

Rep Dan Goldman (D-NY): "Donald Trump is clearly using this as part of his campaign. And if he's lying about whether he was actually shot, that's something that the American people should know"

Friyay 😅

Don't for a moment think that we don't have as many crazy people on the left side of the aisle as they do on the right.

We're just better at making certain they don't get into power.

Everyone that has paid a lick of attention over the last four years clearly knows that this corrupt SCOTUS only considers Republicans to be above the law not Dems.

Oh boy! Updated Flu and COVID-19 vaccines will be available from Moderna, Novavax, and Pfizer by August or September. I can't wait! It’s like Christmas, but instead of presents, you get mild to moderate side effects!

'Boo!' Kesha becomes the latest celebrity to take on J.D. Vance comments - Raw Story

Trump's CIA director and Secretary of State who negotiated with the Taliban to give them all of the military hardware that U.S. taxpayers had provided to the government of Afghanistan has published an attempt to gaslight the few remaining Republicans that actually oppose Putin's power grab over Europe about Trump's plans regarding #Ukraine

We need to hammer it home to Americans in order to remind them that twice, yes two times, Trump caused Ukrainians to needlessly die because he held up aid!

whenever I post a selfie with the #transgender tag I'm always a little afraid of summoning the bigots. Especially because i'm pretty obviously trans.

but my co-moderator @cobie has done a spectacular job of applying blocklists & getting our wee server defederated from all the bullshit servers.

It's actually _really_ rare that anyone makes it through these days and that's... kind-of amazing.

That's WHY we need the #fediverse. We need places where we can feel safe online being ourselves.
