Those 20 watts output really making the smoothie churn…

Yes! I love this set.

Picked these up this weekend!

I spent so much time at the Wetlands during those years, yet didn't know about this show 😞

Mojo Pin - Live At Wetlands, New York, NY, August 16, 1994 Jeff Buckley · Live at Wetlands, New York, NY 8/16/94 · Song · 2019

Speaking of, though, this version of Mojo Pin might have been Jeff's finest moment.

Or the crossover into Van Morrison. I imagine even he was like, yeah, Jeff's version of "The Way Young Lovers Do" is THE one.

Band of Gypsies remains my #1.

Close behind are Live at Sin-e and Roseland NYC Live. 👊

This is from a webinar Mikki Willis hosted to sell his supplements line, Fierce Immunity. This follows a rant about “weather modification systems” causing catastrophes like the recent floods in Texas, which he said had “interesting timing.”

This was celebrating SNAP restrictions in six states and was followed by — I kid you not — goat yoga on the White House lawn.

He addresses your concerns. The whole opening segment goes hard on MAGA, and his criticisms of the left are more empathic (but IMO, also very true). He's def not "both sidesing" anything.

Maybe watch it and then comment?

The Dire Warning for Progressives Buried in Marc Maron’s ‘Panicked’ In his latest HBO stand-up special, the comic and podcaster makes a crack about lefties that might be a tough pill to swallow. It also speaks volumes about this moment.

The cat carrier joke during the LA fires had us rolling, but there was a lot more to reflect on during Maron's new special.

It’s a mix. Six are children under 10.

MAHAAAAAAA

Been calling it for months: Kennedy's main objective is to privatize health care as much as possible.

Deregulation + privatization is how he gets the job in the Project 2025 administration.

Watch the 25-minute video anyway and have a terrible night after… 😵‍💫

Score. And score.

I'll be presenting at OMSI on Tuesday. If you're in PDX, come on out! All proceeds support the museum.

Woman who died after refusing chemo had daily coffee enemas Paloma Shemirani's brothers blame their mother's anti-medicine conspiracy theories for her death.

People don't understand the consequences of health misinformation until it finds them:

Her mother, Kate Shemirani, a disgraced nurse who rose to prominence on social media sharing Covid-19 misinformation, had been involved in her daughter's "treatment programme".

The Onion’s finest work yet. 👏 @bencollins.bsky.social

Trump once said that the human body is like a battery and once you use energy, it doesn’t come back, which is why he doesn’t exercise.

I like his records a lot, especially the last two, but I didn't expect his show to be that well done. Transcendent. A full stadium performance in a room of 800 people.

Lol, I thought this was the freedom state.

Trump plans to revive the Presidential Fitness Test for American schoolchildren President Donald Trump plans to reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test for American schoolchildren.

JFC. Paxlovid got me through my two bouts with Covid. I need to see what my insurance will now cover if it happens again 😡

Got to see Father John Misty live for the first time last night for wifey's birthday. Absolutely stunning show. Highly recommend if he comes to your town.
