@BriskittyThe3rd @sujitdasesq @ZedSoxs The real issue this past election was the non-voters, not people who voted for Stein

@sujitdasesq @ZedSoxs That doesn’t mean their refusal to do the bare minimum to do the bare minimum to avert the worst possible outcome is any less contemptible.

Oh so now you understand why voting for Jill Stein was bad

Can’t believe this is the same guy who made Bish Bosch

Making millions off of Bug Bus Piano with this

@pxnkrockpeacock If the students are all into it, that’s great— I almost never hear any townies talk about Molina’s work which is bizarre to me

Bottom of the Hill. San Francisco, late 1970s. Bottom of the Hill is closing in 2026. I didn’t expect that. A lot of bands got their start here, and a lot of people found their scene here. It’s sad. But in a city where places often disappear overnight or with very little notice, there’s something deeply human about being given a year to say goodbye. One last run. One more chance to show up. It was built in 1911 when the Potrero Hill neighborhood was occupied by Italian and working-class families who worked at the nearby shipyards and warehouses. The building was originally a saloon and eatery, called “17th Street Restaurant.” In the 1930s it housed a soda fountain and possibly even a speakeasy during prohibition. From the 1960s through 1990 it was a family-owned restaurant and bar named Bottom of the Hill Restaurant, the type of place that was always busy at 6:00AM right when it opened its doors each morning. Since 1991 it has been a live music venue. A true San Francisco institution! 📸: Jo Babcock

@szgoldner Where my grandparents lived! I went up there a lot

trinidad, ca is one of the most holy feeling places i've ever set foot in

i want the inventors of poly market dragged into the streets to be drawn and quartered. you should not be able to gamble with fucking human lives

@bIoach @FugaziTruther Racist bitch

@FugaziTruther This is a one way ticket to a ban personally I think it’s just best to avoid anything that looks Jewish until further notice

I think it’s fine to ask. You don’t want to waste your time with a Zionist.

@TinkerTailor534 @FugaziTruther Israel does not represent all Jews and fuck you for thinking otherwise

@FugaziTruther Tbh if I was jewish I would want to clarify that I don't support the genocide conducted in my name as soon as possible

@transjewtalian You’re a little too terminally online I think

it literally takes two seconds if you’re jewish to put that you’re an antizionist jew in your social media bio—and well if you have a problem with that i think a lot of ppl’s questions will have already been answered

@mickythemant1s Sami is not a Zionist lol

This hysterical pearl clutching by Zionist Jews (especially the liberal Zionist ones) about the word ‘goy’ being used by non-Jews is fucking more obnoxious than white South Africans crying about being called boers, pathetic

Wrote about @ShaneParishGtr’s new one cosmictrattoria.substack.com/p/shane-parish…

@PatThomas1964 Did you design this yourself or is it AI? Either way I really dig it

Imagine every song on Astral Weeks as its own novel

Def going to heaven, this is like a +1

Following a bit of a hiatus from music blogging, I have launched a Substack for Cosmic Trattoria. This will feature new music recommendations from myself, and hopefully it will expand to include other types of coverage in the near future cosmictrattoria.substack.com

For years, Betar USA stalked & harassed me even offering $1,800 for someone to hand me a beeper while I was pregnant. Last month, the NY AG found they engaged in bias-motivated harassment and threats. Still they faced no real consequences. So I’m filing a lawsuit. chuffed.org/project/171422…
