Uh what was that song or Eddie Murphy riff that showed up in the late 70s or early 80s before western representative democracy got sold down the river by Thatcher and Reagan? Kill tha Land ... Yup the DKs did that song, Kill the Poor but that was Black Comedy from the Bay Area.

This thread on how to understand housing costs and landlord squeals is brilliant

I cannot say what I think should happen to your landlord. #realestateisascam

My neighborhood farmers market a couple of weeks ago. Just horrible.

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

You are a lawyer, you know they are not that exciting. But I am sure a lot of folk got happy endings that they will not talk about.

I finally feel safe

Fox News falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

I have to say no product made anywhere near Hollywood evah smacked down Scientology like they did. And they kinda explained Mormonism in a way that makes it seem less like a Cult to us southern-informed but lapsed but maybe we are back but not as Evangelical because raised Episcopal tend to think.

Note to Kristi Noem:

It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

If REM is Joy Division but US southern and more Protestant Christian (white southern division) informed, then Sunny Day Real Estate is REM but grungy PNW, mysty Christian, but as sincere as the original band (JD) and the influence (REM). The throughline is sincerity and dare I day it, honesty.

A Golden Oldie and still relevant (and crazy) after all these years.

Search For Self Called Off After 38 Years CHICAGO—The longtime search for self conducted by area man Andrew Speth was called off this week, the 38-year-old said Monday.

Apparently 20 years ago we wrote a headline about this website.

JB Pritzker: Blocking arms sales sends Israel ‘the right kind of message’ The Illinois Democrat said he backed the Senate bid to halt Israel arms sales to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over Gaza crisis.

Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians.

Fucking Karl Rove got his start electing Nixon. All downhill from there for the Rs.

Correction. What he said! Strength for the struggle.

So I thot I guess I should watch Naruto because it is in the family tree. I should have just watched Hunter x Hunter first. I would have stopped at the first Naruto arc inoculated by Togashi. But #theneedtofindoutwhathappens locked in and I did watch all 220 episodes. Never again. Peace!

Think animé is stupid, basically the Justice League with martial arts stylings. But of course I prefer Gundam and Fate to shonen battle animé and only am even considering watching Dragon Ball Zero because it influenced JJK and Chainsaw Man which are both exquisitely elegiac and quite funny to boot.

@thomaswolfe.bsky.social Looking homeward? I say this as I am a Tarheel thru-and-thru, though I have the only non-Chapel Hill degree out of the eight achieved by my family. MA Pittsburgh, AB Carolina (it is a Public Ivy!)!

His takes on Christianity are so stale it is ridiculous. Of course he does not know that Girard plagiarized Bataille and then got him wrong. Go Stanford!

Peter Thiel is Silicon Valley’s most dangerous power broker — a billionaire spy-master pulling strings from the shadows. He co-founded Palantir to put the world’s data under government surveillance, sunk early money into Facebook to shape its algorithms, and now bankrolls extremist politicians

I say this in so much love

You are trying to make sense of it and that’s the problem

You have to accept that Cuomo doesn’t want to be right. He wants to be humiliating and emasculating to a Brown man using the words and structures of a Black one

While respecting neither

This is a Self-Own?!?

Also this tweet by Andy can be considered potentially stroke-inducing to folk (especially male) around my age. Do not quote The Greatest if you cannot even Google the quote to quote it correctly. Boxers do not Fly! That is was t'ai-chi masters do!

More like stuck like drone bee!

well someone is having a stroke

And he mangles the quote! Uggh.

Sad but I had to laugh. We live in transitional times so things are going to get weird.

The South Park guys are Good Guys!

I am not attending to Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans like I should but it does seem charming. And the ED theme is great, world-class! On the other hand, I aggressively dislike the OP song but I get who they were trying to reach. It's a Gundam for the Kids!
