I love it when a bunch of people get fired for saying “Charlie Kirk might have been stoking the kind of hate that gets people killed” and the Kill Tony guys are like “I have free speech, I can use most of the slurs”

The lyric that has stuck in my head for decades and decades and seems to suit all the more about now:

"Forget all that you're told
You are young, they are old
CONTROL is all they've got to GIVE!
Just live how you want to live!"

Is it possible that the best song about the papal conclave is from Jamaica? Is it also possible that it is the best song ever recorded? You bet it is:

Billionaire Dipshit And His Strike Team Of Greasy Beavises Are Stripping The Wires From The Federal Government | Defector The most important thing to know about both the chittering Renfields gnawing through the ductwork of the American administrative state and the billionaire sociopath they serve is that they don’t care....

Anyway, I wrote all this already. I'm just still processing that a bunch of replacement-level rats could gnaw through so much of a century of hard-won progress, in just a few weeks. As someone with some residual pride in this country it's mostly just embarrassing. defector.com/billionaire-...

It’s kind of funny how the concept of the song is “what if something bad happened (it’s not btw things are great)” and the torment of cobain’s song is wholly abstract

Interim U.S. attorney fires more than two dozen Jan. 6 prosecutors in D.C. The lawyer and pro-Trump podcaster has fired Jan. 6 prosecutors, launched investigations of the Capitol riot investigation and threatened a Democrat with an inquiry.

Just to be clear, this means Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D.C. has fired almost every domestic violence prosecutor in the office.

And because we’re not a state, D.C.’s attorney general can’t bring felony charges against domestic abusers. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

Eh. I don’t think you can reason with that — you should be reasoning with the politicians who couldn’t figure out how to reach those ppl, at that point. I think “genocide” just becomes a third rail of like… I can’t argue someone out of that bc they are ultimately right

My fav Robert Palmer is “I didn’t mean to turn you on” and esp the dub mix, Bernard Edwards production

there is a 24/7 right-wing propaganda apparatus that operates across multiple mediums and it designed to do exactly this: smother any kind of local, material concern with cultural war signifiers and cultivate a “political affiliation as team sport” ethos
