Nightwish - Weak Fantasy - Lyric Video
YouTube video by MikelCarri Nightwish - Weak Fantasy - Lyric Video

From the song Weak Fantasy by Nightwish:
"Shoveling trash of the upper caste
Kiss the ring, praise and sing
He loves you dwelling in fear and sin
Fear is a choice you embrace"

LOL. Ah, Mike Johnson's guy arrested for DUI, eh? Gotta love those upstanding Christian morals... was the guy drunk on water that had been turned to wine? Just wonderin'. (Sorry for the snarkiness, but holier-than-thou people like Mike Johnson bug me to no end.)

Exclusive: Fired US government workers with top security clearances were not given exit briefings, sources say The lack of so-called "read outs" for workers with clearances dismissed by Musk's DOGE could raise security risks, experts say.

"None of the employees with security clearances for nuclear secrets were properly debriefed, the current DOE source said...

"Those employees could be targeted by foreign adversaries for nuclear espionage...

"They have lost their source of income..."

Pink Clothes and Ping-Pong Paddles? Pathetic, Pointless Poppycock! Democrats missed a huge opportunity; Hakeem Jefferies is not up to this challenge

Here is what I wrote on Medium.com about Democrats at Trump's speech. It is entitled "Pink Clothes and Ping-Pong Paddles? Pathetic, Pointless Poppycock!"

I've just found a new hero. Rep Al Green, the only Democrat in Congress who is making good trouble and understands what is needed: Take a damn public stand and mean it. Not with pink clothes or stupid signs. Say it like you mean it, Dems! Thank you Al Green.

Thank you Rep Al Green. He was the only Democrat tonight who did the right thing. More of them should have followed his lead, made noise, and been escorted out, one by one. He is a far better leader than "Sit Quiet" Hakeem Jeffries will ever be.

Hitler-loving white nationalist Nick Fuentes on Elon Musk's salute: "That was a straight up like 'Sieg Heil',' like loving Hitler energy."

This sworn evidence needs to be weighed carefully against the nominee’s qualifications, such as his … um … the fact that he, uh … {trying hard to think of something} …

Nightwish-"Yours Is An Empty Hope"
"Tear me to bits, enjoy the scene
Of screen name verbal vanity
Churning the words, imbued in filth
Your tongue, oily water under my bridge
I can't make you want the truth 'cause
It's up to you
Yours is an empty hope"

Did Elon Musk give a Nazi or Roman salute, and what’s the difference? Historians say Musk clearly made Nazi salute – but supporter claims he was inspired by Roman greeting adopted by Benito Mussolini

Was it a Nazi salute or a Mussolini salute... sort of like six of one or half dozen of another. And don't give me the excuse that "that is just Elon who has autism expressing his feelings." I have autism and I know what that salute means. My feelings: 🀬

Hey Lawrence! I'm new to BlueSky too... and just as new as you to this whole social media stuff (I'm 57 years old and avoided it as much as I could). Saw you on Rachel's handoff to your show and loved you admitting your, umm, struggles to figure things out. Me too!

"I'm not a nazi"

- a guy who lets white supremacy run wild on his "free speech" site (where he bans people for calling him transphobic) and is literally supporting a literal nazi right now... in Germany!

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, β€œOnly the AfD can save Germany.”

The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

Metal, plus orchestra, plus operatic singing by two Goddesses, deep lyrics = Greatest song ever.

A song that speaks to my soul:
"And you will not find me,
(I am safe in here)
I'm where I want to be..."

"Sancta Terra" performed by Epica, with guest Floor Jansen

My addiction: Watching reactions to Nightwish performances. Love watching people be "floored" by Floor Jansen, the Goddess/Valkyrie/Viking/Wonder Woman of singing.

We used to have one president at a time. President-elects took great care to wait until their inauguration before presuming to do anything that might risk appearing otherwise.

Regimes seem solid until they are not. Every resistance act matters because often regimes are crumbling from within from corruption and yet good at hiding that fact. cc: Russia
