@daviderovella He's also a massive cunt. Let's never forget that!

@hk Not sure about either of those books, but the Sheldon Brown website is an amazing resource for bicycle repair and maintenance stuff. https://www.sheldonbrown.com

The new Starbucks CEO, Brian Niccol, is going to commute to the office 3 days a week by private jet.

Don't forget to take your reusable cup to the coffee shop!

Offbeat Magazine published a wonderful obituary of John Sinclair with an emphasis on his New Orleans years.

I will be presenting an hour-long tribute to John on my Crescent City Connection show this weekend, focusing on his jazz and blues inspired spoken word performances with his band the Blues Scholars. Catch it live on Saturday, 10am eastern on @WFMU's Rock 'n' Soul Radio stream.

I didn't invade & colonise Australia 230 years ago. I didn't kill Indigenous landowners who had lived on & cared for these lands for at least 65,000 years. But when I #VoteYes, I will be part of *today's* Australia. One that wants to listen & repair harm & recognise what's true.

Love the show! It's inspired me to start to de googlefy my life!

"It’s the oversized vehicles. It’s the entitled, scofflaw drivers. It’s the placard perps. It’s the parking-first, safety-third DOT. It’s the leave-us-alone NYPD. It’s fuhgeddaboudit congestion pricing. And it’s b.s. solutions like 'public education,' along with phony bogeymen like e-bikes and weed, that stand in the way of legitimate traffic governance and public safety."

An #introduction…

We are Slumberland Records, US indie music label started in the DC area in 1989 and operating out of Oakland, CA since 1992. We are nominally (and unashamedly) an #indiepop label, but we’ve released everything from pop to punk to shoegaze to lo-fi to hardcore to new wave to...

Expect to see label-related news here but also non-label music we like (mostly dance music, jazz, soul, reggae) as well as tech things (we’re nerds) and politics of the leftist variety.

Absolute parking corrupts absolutely.

Facebook = old people who hate computers

Mastodon = old people who love computers

The week before Thanksgiving Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, Facebook fires 11K workers, and Disney plans thousands of layoffs—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳

A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers.

Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.
