“There’s more of a flavor than a genre,” explains Cyrus Moussavi, who has run the Mississippi Records label since 2019. “It’s always amazing to me that we can release music from all these different places and styles, but they all kind of feel like they’re the same family." https://disc.gs/4b71RhK

Mississippi Records: More Flavor than Genre Unbound by styles or eras, Mississippi Records champions overlooked music made by little-known outsiders or unappreciated visionary artists.

I didn't know it was out yet! Thanks!

Nichts für ungut!

Man, I appreciate you have that German need to get the last word, but suggest you go back and read my posts from start to finish. If they are going to play hardball, the EU needs to reply in kind. Of course it hurts everyone. It's mutual assured destruction. That's the point. Get the US to back off.

Not empty at all. Trump was taking about the bond market getting "yippy" last spring, so I think you underestimate what even a small selloff can do to concentrate American minds.

No shit. But I'm not saying do it preemptively. I'm saying you warn GOP senators what could happen. They are the only ones who can rein in the mad king at this point.

Easy? No. Painful for everyone? Undoubtedly. But what's the alternative at this point?

I can only repeat what others are saying here: Tell GOP senators the EU + Canada are prepared to sell US Treasuries and NATO is over if the US goes through with this.

European officials need to make clear to GOP senators that this will end NATO and the EU + Canada are prepared to sell US Treasuries if the regime goes through with this.

Why am I paying federal taxes to a regime that is threatening and bullying our (once) closest friends? I truly hope Europeans are threatening and bullying GOP senators that NATO is over if this happens and the EU + Canada will sell US Treasuries if the Orange Goblin King goes through with this.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

With a little bit of creativity, HB2017's promised freeway improvements could be delivered immediately for just the cost of paint and a bit of asphalt. It would look something like this. The promised improvements were:
- Address Rose Quarter congestion
- Improve north-south vehicle flow

I say rip it out but if they want to slap a toll on it and pay for the Big Dig West Coast Edition I'm ok with that too.

For me, Oregon's biggest underutilized resource is the stupid tax kicker. I realize touching it is the third rail of politics here, but it could solve so many problems...

Exactly! If anything, Kotek needs to be discussing how to make preschool for all statewide. If New Mexico can do it, why the heck can't Oregon?

The cedar waxwing is a jaunty little fellow who likes to scarf down copious amounts of berries.

'Hegseth to The Hague' has a nice ring to it.

I edited this year's #Oregon Winter magazine for Willamette Week. You can find it all over #Portland starting this Friday!

Menno, so close to holding onto the win...

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

Good god, just give Zohran the keys to the DNC now. What a speech.

As his two sons watch and cry, ‘Pa, te amo,’ federal agents arrest man outside of Naperville apartments A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday as his two sons cried and begged for him not to be hurt.

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

I'm sure these corporations will jump at the chance to fund rebuilding the historical East Wing when The Epstein Ballroom gets razed in a few years.

At the bare minimum at least say it right. It's properly pronounced anti-FAH and not the weirdo Fox/Maga an-TEE-fah version.
