I had no idea this existed. Thank you!!

Such a sad state of affairs. Reminds me of playing Chutes and Ladders as a kid and winding up at the bottom after making it halfway through.

Methinks I detect the faint aroma of sarcasm...

YouTube video by Black Sabbath - Topic Children of the Grave (2014 Remaster)

I was too young to experience Black Sabbath in their prime, so my Ozzy context was strictly campy, MTV mid-80s satanic panic stuff. It would take a while for me to appreciate the full scope of his career and huge impact on music. RIP Ozzy.

In addition to being a great song, it's such an elegant and beautiful video. Timeless. Dusty's hair is the only 80s thing about it.

Men Are Impersonating ICE to Attack Immigrant Women. MAGA Emboldened Them. Multiple men have been arrested in at least three states since President Donald Trump's inauguration for allegedly posing as immigration enforcement officers to perpetrate sexual violence against immi...

Read every horrifying word. Every unexamined racist lie and demeaning portrayal of women that has ever emerged from the underbelly of this country is eroding our democracy. Any claim to love America rings hollow and false if you can't be bothered to care about this.

The Replacements.

Are the Epstein Files the modern equivalent of the elusive and coveted Glengarry leads?

Baldwin = Trump
Lemmon = MAGA

YouTube video by Live Aid U2 - Bad (Live Aid 1985)

40 years ago today, I nearly missed out on watching my favorite band play on TV. In an era before Youtube and widespread VCR use, you either were going to watch it as it happened or regret it later. Read about my Live Aid quest and other 80s music tales in my book!

So excited for this show! Day of The Dog is easily one of the best albums of the last 15 years.

"But with this 'yes' to God belongs just as clear a 'no.' Your 'yes' to God requires your 'no' to all injustice, to all evil, to all lies, to all oppression and violation of the weak and poor, to all ungodliness, and to all mockery of what is holy."

-Dietrich Bonhoeffer. April 9th, 1938.

YouTube video by Quadzilla Hikes Deputized corrections officers? Would explain a lot

Journalist and author Jeff Pearlman has an interesting take on this:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEJ0...

The alarming rise of US officers hiding behind masks: ‘A police state’ Mike German, an ex-FBI agent, said immigration agents hiding their identities ‘highlights the illegitimacy of actions’

If a law enforcement federal agent thought what they were doing was legal, that it wasn’t a morally ambiguous police matter furiously tinged with far Right, white power politics, they wouldn’t be wearing masks.

They know what they are doing is wrong. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Congratulations to John Roberts, who will now surely displace Taney as the most scathingly hated Chief Justice in the history books, and to the Roberts Court, which m will go down as the one that probably did the most of any to destroy what is good about this country

Yep. Mossadegh was Time's Man of the Year in 1951. Two years later, the CIA had other plans...

I guess he can move the bust of MLK back to the Oval Office since he won't need the table space!

PROTESTERS AGAINST REAGAN POLICY MARCH TO CAPITOL (Published 1982)

"Among its concerns are...equal rights for racial minorities, women and homosexuals, nuclear disarmament, abortion rights, unemployment, cuts in Federal social programs, and disparate treatment of refugees and undocumented aliens."

I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate that. Thank you!

Hi! Link seems to work fine. Thanks for the repost! Congrats on the Amazon series!
