Metallica famously just always kept a DAT recording the whole time they were in the studio so those moments wouldnโ€™t get lost

Presumably they stopped some time around Death Magnetic

Oh, certainly, I agree. I specifically meant the two-party part.

This is correct, it is a bad system, and you can work to change it, but itโ€™s important to understand that that change is not coming in this election specifically

Right, yes, but you could withhold your vote which is very powerful because then itโ€™s a surprise

Also overnight, this Omni 767 landed in Cameroon. This is likely a third-country removal of non-Cameroonian migrants with withholding of removal orders to their countries of origin.

Cameroon has been in an armed civil conflict since 2017, with deadly clashes occurring as recently as last Monday.

The reason Preston Brooks beat Charles Sumner half to death while he was pinned in his desk was because Sumner gave a speech which criticized Brooksโ€™s cousin Andrew Butler for his support of slavery and heavily (and correctly!) implied Butler was fucking his slaves

Notable message from President Zelensky. The USA is clearly putting pressure on Ukraine to hand over more of its land to dictatorial Russia.

Good to see the Ukrainian pushback--but the USA should hang its head in shame.

In all of these countries, right-wing populists are either plausibly within a single election of gaining power, or in a few cases they already are in power.

I have big nostalgia goggles about the early Internet too, but man is there a ton of survivorship bias from people who, frankly, were not underage girls during that time

Thereโ€™s a heating vent under the cabinet, and itโ€™s gotten chilly here lately, so she does this pretty much every morning

Ok. The worldโ€™s terrifying and I have very little control. Iโ€™m off to make my silly little bits of art and try to at least make MY BIT better and share that as far as I canโ€ฆ
