Listen: The Stage by Shura

Shura’s “The Stage” is like if disco procreated late-2000s synthpop, and together, they make one cute kid. The song, sung as a story, is all about trying to see the stage as a short person at a show– a metaphor for blind spots, perhaps? Listen and keep your ears open: Shura’s new album, forevher, is out August 16.

Government has good idea for once

Recent years have taught us there’s no real way to curb revenge porn. But the US Government is here with at least a mitigating solution: copyright your nudes. Then when they’re circulated, whoever has distributed them has to pay up. Do it now!

Municipal government on sex

The local government in Berkeley, CA is calling an end to gendered names for city things, so “manholes” will become “maintenanceholes”; “firemen” become “firefighters”; and “craftsmen” “artisans.” That wasn’t so hard, was it?

So, question

What are the Bears going to do with this sign?

I see London, I see France.
