Rest in Peace, Brian Wilson. Thank you for the music.
Wilson originally wrote this gem for the Ronettes, who never covered it. He intended it as a follow up to their epochal hit, "Be My Baby." In 1999, the late, great Ronnie Spector contributed her version.

One concrete aim of the disinformation campaigns (driven in large part by Russia) is to drive a wedge between the left and its Jews. Wild horses couldn’t drag me into Trump’s corner but I feel how effectively this is working, even on me, because when the far left shoehorns Palestine into every progressive issue under the sun, when Palestine becomes a “queer issue” and an “environmental issue” and treated as the crown jewel of a hundred other unrelated issues, and elevated to intersectional priority #1 — when so much more progressive energy seems directed against Israel than against Trump even in the midst of a fascist takeover of the U.S. — then even I am alienated from the places I formerly brought tireless energy. https://neveralone.substack.com/p/thoughts-on-the-selfie-yacht?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#media-dd1e7934-2d14-4d42-9ae7-a9b8cba41f97

The usual suspects are outraged that Thunberg's been "kidnapped" by Israel.
Nice try, but no. Kidnapping is what Hamas does. It's not the same as detaining, feeding-and deporting-a band of attention-seeking, Hamas-loving LARPers attempting to enter a war zone. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

I'm deeply skeptical about the government's case. But even if Abrego Garcia is found guilty in a court of law, two things are clear:
One. The US can compel El Salvador to return deportees.
and
Two. TACO. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Absolutely. And calling to "end Zionists" is an incitement to kill Jewish civilians for their political beliefs.
02.06.2025 02:35 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The victims were raising awareness for Hamas' hostages in Gaza. Video shows the suspect screaming, "End Zionists" & "Palestine is free." Yet another grim reminder that antisemitism is a dangerous conspiracy theory in which Jews are held collectively responsible for everything the haters despise.

But CBS owner Paramount is in a merger deal that they fear Trump will squash as anti-competitive if they don't literally pay him, personally, millions of dollars to settle this bullshit suit. Pure fucking extortion.
