Bæ Grylls :bisexual_flag:

My dad and I had a chat yesterday and we were, in our typical way, reading the world for filth.

My dad then talked about how if the unions were as strong today as they were in his day, we’d be in a much much better position to crack these greedy, murderous, cruel bastards right in their noggin.

And I realised that not only does he have a very valid point, that’s the first time any elder of mine has said an In My Day statement and I’ve agreed with them.

I want to hear the local bands that you loved when you were involved in your local music scene.

If you're still involved, send me some bandcamp links. If you stopped going to local shows fifteen years ago, it's time to rip your CD-Rs.

Today I learned that one of the only non-recorded Grateful Dead shows ever was a benefit for the black panther party, organized after Jerry Garcia met Huey Newton on a 1970 NY to CA flight

Thinking about that time in DS9 when Quark tells Sisko, yeah we're greedy capitalists, but you humans only despise us because you see yourselves in us. You did slavery, genocide and interstellar war. Us Ferengi never did anything like that. So at least we're not as bad as humanity

I know people shit on The Good Place and the politics of both it and its creator but if you’ve seen the show, the people who run the real good place (Paul Scheer and his crew) are the perfect distillation of democrat brain I have ever seen in media

bigshoulders.city is a Mastodon instance for Chicagoans current, former, and future. Its name comes from Carl Sandburg, who once compared ships pulling out to “mastodons, arising from lethargic sleep.” Our goal for bigshoulders.city is to build a community of friends and neighbors across the Windy City. Toot your pho place recommendations, meet-up ideas, pothole gripes, creative dibs, and cross-town baseball taunts—whatever you want, as long it abides by our short and sweet content policy.
