Sadly he passed just before I moved to Chicago in 1978 so I never got the chance to see him play. 'Genuine Houserockin' is a great live recording though

One of the all time greats

Love it!

Anyone else read "Careless People"? Explains a lot about Zuck and FB

At this point we can assume anything he says is completely fabricated.

"I Threw the Sandwich"

Love it

Just about right, exactly

November 4, 2025

This is so good. Amid so many other great campaign ads and events.

Trump is no mastermind—but don’t doubt that he and his comms team plan some psyops, disinfo, and propaganda in advance. In his CBS interview, he kept using a canned line over and over: "Democrats have to open the country." See what he’s doing with that odd and inaccurate phrase? A pandemic callback.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Important distinction that we probably will not see in the NYT

We’re already making history. Now let’s break a record.

This Sunday, we’re going to knock on the most doors in a single day in New York history.

It's Trump's Ukraine

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Jeffries and the Democrats should just swear her in without the Republicans and take a vote. Let the Republicans complain about someone else not following the rules for a change and call them out on the hypocrisy.

Absolutely no reason why emergency funds can’t be used for SNAP benefits

Probably why he's rebuilding the bunker under the East Wing

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Obvious to say this, but the actual function of the smear job isn't to make us ask about his aunt, it's to show us the words "hijab" and "9/11" in a headline with his photo.

They are just hurting themselves at this point. The better he does, the worse they look.

Zohran Mamdani's proposals for NYC build off city's progressive foundation: Experts While some critics decry Zohran Mamdani's vision for New York City as far-fetched, experts noted that they build off progressive foundations laid by past policies.

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."

Always a projection with these people

Managers used to also play I think

'What are we doing?"

I'm afraid it's not "we" anymore.

Btw Trump was president in 2020.

Nice!

I'm betting that's the reason he's doing it.
