Also highly recommend listening to Angelique Kidjo's transcendent take on this entire gem of an album.

CMSD is expected to spend $603k on this same surveillance technology. Former city council member Kerry McCormack also recently took a job there after resigning early. #Flock #Cleveland #CMSD

Addiction issues (alcohol or otherwise) have killed just as many of my friendships as politics have, maybe even more.

this is bananas (my sister is now sober but she's still living with a heroin addict who cooks meth too and it's not great!).

Bhutan did an ethnic cleansing campaign on ethnic Nepalis in the 90s (there are a lot of those Nepalis in my neighborhood). I have no idea if that bit of fact helps at all.

Despite growing up in a conservative-lite religious household, my dad and I used to listen to that show on Sunday night sometimes. It was surreal to meet them in the real world when I started doing radio at the same station.

I was really tempted to get an $80K condo here to stay near the lake in that neighborhood but the fees fluctuate and I got really spoiled only sharing walls with one other person as a renter.

I'm half Scot / half Irish on one side and all Polish on the other and this is making me frown so hard.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

My friend at the record store gave me a bunch of trade-in CDs so I have a good chunk of of the Medicine back catalog now. Yet another one of those "got into them because of the amazing music library at the college radio station that's now gone as of 3 days ago."

this really hits the spot because I love noisy stuff and have been listening to a lot of the Happy Mondays recently.

I get really frustrated about not being able to buy certain concert tickets, go to certain sporting events, or even park in some places because it's just assumed that everybody apps.

We really need to retire "contrarian" as a descriptor for Weiss immediately.

The reason she is getting this job right now is because of her *non-contrarian* sensibilities.

She espouses views that the US's current power structure likes.

I have rust belt solidarity but this year that's getting cancelled out by always liking Seattle.

besides having responsibilities of care here right where I am that I can't abandon, every time someone says "I've got a spare room where I'm moving out of the country that you can stay in if you want to bail," and I realize it's never people I could live with or places I'd want to be.

killing the college radio station that I DJed at for 14 years was a very "and now this TOO?" moment.

How do "kitchen table issues" not include not having enough to feed your kids, which quite literally affects pretty much any group in this country everywhere.
