Let them invest in index funds and ban individual stocks.
Not sure if this would have helped but I always monitor www.mobilize.us for local opportunities to volunteer/protest.
I agree. But there were national protests yesterday that (in my local experience) were only attended by 1/5 of the crowd that showed up for No Kings in June. Where was everyone???
Not many vocal performances on par with this one.
Forget cutting of your nose...this is shooting yourself in the head and throwing your body in a ditch to spite your face.
Nice remembrance. Nick have you checked out Ryan Davis &The Roadhouse Band…lots of comparisons to Purple Mountains.
Ryan is a great lyricist..really love the new album “New Threats From the Soul” “I was a cactus flower I had Heisman buzz Now it's a pissing competition Between the man I am and the guy I was” www.npr.org/2025/08/06/n... Ryan Davis is giving indie rock fans something to believe in : NPR
I saw this tour when it hit Portland!
Ryan Davis, Tyler Childers and Geese. All home runs in my book.
Are these the same people who said Covid was a cold, over by Easter, social distancing is a joke, masks don’t work, vaccines are a conspiracy….give me a break.
I don’t mind them making money. But open access to individual stock holdings is begging for the grift to continue.
Even if there was a descent reason to watch I would actively avoid. Have already cancelled my Paramount+ subscription a couple of months back.
Cernovich in particular is a bad take walking.
Ahhh. A list with “How Soon Is Now” properly ranked. Refreshing!
This lame attempt to "other" anyone who opposes them...I went to No Kings and many other protests. I saw America.
All three of our cats chillin today on cold, overcast summer weekend here in Oregon. #caturday
Trying to maintain my streak of never having hear a Morgan Wallen song (other than the Jason Isbell one which I listened to to confirm what I already knew)
I had a high school English teacher (who never di this type of thing) brought this song into class for a close reading of the lyrics. youtu.be/zCawz3B-iKA?...
"What's the Matter Here" seemed to push things a little further, taking on not just domestic abuse but generationally accepted levels of corporal punishment. That was my impression anyway.
I still have my account and long in ocassionally but yeah it's gets worse week by week, even when you don't think it's possible.
Forever and in every way a better man and president.
I was scarred at a child and refuse to try again. Literally the worst mass produced candy (in the US)
Reality is left leaning, facts are left leaning. These people....
The 50501 national leaders seem to be stepping back a bit on April 19th and letting local groups decide what they want to do on April 19…the only solid thing I found for the Portland metro area including Salem is a march starting at Pioneer Square.
How lawless do you have to be not to have corrected this immediately, to be dragging your feet after the SCOTUS decision, to possibly be ignoring it altogether??
I wouldn’t say it’s “good” but certainly sounds appropriate for country music radio which says a lot.
Where is all the protest music???
This was my first REM experience. Checked it from the Multnomah County Library (!) in 1984…changed my life.
Carrie Coon ❤️
The Tea Party was a kids lemonade stand by comparison.
Yes. I feel this is underrated by many. My fave!
If you’re upset about the chaos and corruption Trump is inflicting on your country—whether your focus is the nihilistic dismantling of government, the economy, our foreign relations, or his threats to the rule of law—please join the nationwide marches on April 5. Learn more here 👉 handsoff2025.com
The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.
@mcuban.bsky.social Need to fix these (presumably) AI generated summary headlines. This one is pretty bad.
This is craven, crass and depraved.
"....don't want tomorrow If it's just crumbling into sand Won't you please hear the call?" youtu.be/qrj77Fqjj-4?...
I've never seen anyone more annoyingly demonstrate their malicious and dimwitted ignorance.
It is (for the most part) very tightly edited. I actually would have enjoyed another 15-20 mins.
This is a fave...could be at the very top of Cure songs for me.
Thanks for the platform @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
Musk isn't even designing cars or building rockets...and yet...
A long read but a perspective that becomes more true with every passing hour...What Authoritarianism Means open.substack.com/pub/thomaszi...
US Rep Janelle Bynum and Senator Ron Wyden townhall in Oregon City is at capacity 30 minutes before the start time.
It won’t matter when they do.
I need this to trend in Pittsburgh now…I’m afraid!
Same.
Music is usually my greatest mental health care balm but I am having the same issue!
We are watching a virtual town hall with our Oregon Senator Ron Wyden. 5k on with us now.
We are watching a virtual town hall with our Oregon Senator Ron Wyden. 4.6k on with us.
Hard disagree.
I think I started reading kottke.org in 1999. And have read it almost daily ever since. Thanks for all you do, including the recent focus on this terrible administration.
A superb British perspective on the current FAFO timeline here in the States. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...
Musk spouts lies at nearly the same rate as Trump.
Why does anyone listen to anything these people promise during their confirmation hearings. There are zero consequences for lying…see SCOTUS.
The recklessness with employees is reflected equally in the recklessness with funds and organizations. We are all going to be paying for this nightmare for years in countless ways.
This was just done by police to make it more safe. Protesters were not blocking traffic. Deceptive headline. Do better!@fox12oregon.bsky.social
Fave XTC album, fave XTC song!!
Great song…slept on for sure, as rarely see it mentioned.
I am seriously starting to doubt my sanity. My day has been ruined by this team five weeks in a row.
Super under appreciated band!
Prefab Sprout!
I’ll be watching for more power pop recs. My absolute fave is Starry Eyes by The Records.
That’s a good one!
LOLOLOL! #HereWeGo
Not in my current profile but I am a lifetime fan!!
Finally saw the elbow down on third replay.
A few more that would make my list: Sadness As A Gift -Adrianne Lenker, Big Love - Camera Obscura, Cold Reactor - Everything Everything, Holy Holy-Geordie Greep, Never Need Me - Rachel Chinouriri
Looks like a great list. I will give it a listen and see what additional suggestions I might have.
The perfect distillation of Bob Mould's melodic sensibilities and wall of guitar sound.
Great additions. Cassandra I mainly know because of Hard Drive but I should listen to more. Holly Miranda I am unfamiliar and will go check out!
Sluice is right up my alley. His vocal style and phrasing sometimes reminds of Kurt Wagner from Lambchop.
Definitely hearing the Minutemen influence with Arbor Labor Union…..good stuff.
The other three I should say.
Never too late!! That Gizzard album is great…I am familiar with Pile but need more listens. The other two are new to me and I will check out.
I have listened to ‘rat saw god’ and will check out the others. Thx.
This is all great. Thanks.
Have you given ‘Dogsbody’ by Model/Actriz a listen?
Thanks. I will check these releases out. Flat Worms are new to me!
Alt-country/Americana or whatever has been my primary listen for 20 years! But I am into lots of other stuff too. I dig a lot of what ZB does. My favorite album this year in this vein is probably Weathervanes by Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit
Thank you, listening now! Good stuff!
Looking for new listens…What is you favorite album released this year??
