Kim Gordon - "BYE BYE 25" directed by Vice Cooler and Kim Gordon

(stream/download "BYE BYE 25") Today, Kim Gordon released “BYE BYE 25!”, a remake of “BYE BYE” from her critically acclaimed second solo album, The Collective. Proceeds from the sale of “BYE BYE 25!”, both song and t-shirt, will be donated to reproductive rights nonprofit NOISE FOR NOW. Both “BYE BYE” and The Collective were nominated for GRAMMYs at the 2025 ceremony.

Of the “BYE BYE 25!,” Gordon says:

(Producer and collaborator) Justin Raisen had this idea to redo ‘Bye Bye’ starting at the end of the song. When I was thinking of lyric ideas, it occurred to me to use words taken from a site that had all the words that Trump has essentially banned, meaning any grant or piece of a project or proposal for research that includes any of those words would be immediately disregarded or “cancelled.” I guess Trump does believe in cancel culture, because he is literally trying to cancel culture.

The song is accompanied by a video directed by Vice Cooler and Kim Gordon.

Trump has used the term “cancel culture” not only as a political talking point but also as a dog whistle while weaponizing the term to signal support for white grievance politics, traditional gender roles, anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment and hostility toward racial justice movements – without always saying those things outright.

Some of the words Gordon speaks in “BYE BYE 25!” that have begun to disappear under Trump’s agenda include:

ADVOCATE

CLIMATE CHANGE

FEMALE

HISPANIC

IMMIGRANTS

INTERSEX

MALE-DOMINATED

MENTAL HEALTH

NON-CONFORMING

TRAUMA

UTERUS

VICTIM

WOMEN

Among the organizations that have been targeted by the Administration’s policies include Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Defense (DoD), Small Business Administration, National Cryptologic Museum and NASA.

ABOUT: NOISE FOR NOW enables artists and entertainers to connect with and financially support grassroots organizations that work in the field of Reproductive Health, Rights and Justice.

This ash tray was fashioned from the casing of a 5” shell fired by the USS Quincy during her first combat engagement—the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Machinist’s Mate First Class Edward F. Laukagalis created the ash tray and presented it to FDR on behalf of his shipmates: https://fdr.artifacts.archives.gov/objects/26125/uss-quincy-cigar-ashtray

It’s Fossil Friday, so soar into the weekend with Archaeopteryx! When this dinosaur was first described in 1861, it caused a sensation. Discovered shortly after Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, Archaeopteryx provided an example of evolution in action—a fossil that showed the transition between reptiles and birds. The first Archaeopteryx fossils ever found included exquisitely preserved skeletons with clear imprints of wings and feathers, but also teeth and a bony tail. Today, scientists think Archaeopteryx wasn’t able to fly very well, but the species still represents a turning point in paleontologists’ understanding of the relationship between ancient dinosaurs and modern birds in the design of both its body and brain.

Some insiders have implied off the record that after Edolph shoved Bessent the latter gave him a black eye. Edolph told the press he got the black eye horsing around with his son X. Others have said Muskrat got the black eye stumbling around the White House high on a cocktail of drugs. Elon is going to be leaving the White House DOGE position and taking massive downloads of private data on every citizen with him on his personal servers.

Treasury Secretary (and billionaire) Bessent is the highest ranking openly gay member of government. While hypocritical Republican media figures and Congresspersons are all over social media calling gays “degenerates” they neglect to mention Bessent and a few others. Curious how their propaganda works. Bessent made over a billion dollars for George Soros working as his fund manager. He also made himself a billionaire at the same time.

Florida deserves everything it gets.

The worst people are given too much power, just because they are white.

Pam Bondi, Rick Scott, and Ron DeSantis are prime examples.

MAGA are addicted to projection and deflection.

The inability to define 'socialism' or 'communism' or 'fascism' or 'marxism' is manifest, whether it is MAGA comments online or from the White House itself.

Tax the rich. Abolish Citizens United. Recognize the class war. Respect all labor.

Proud MAGA child molesters and rapists were all assholes on social media. I see a trend.

Birds of a feather. #abusers #projection

Giving a facsist rapist felon fraud a 79th birthday parade that costs the taxpayers $92 million?

Christians will love the military theme. The fiscally conservative will say nothing. The taxed too much crowd will gladly waste the money.

This is the worst timeline.

Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.

If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.How to Turn off Word’s AI Access To Your Content

I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”:

File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”
