Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

You gonna learn all about the Blues here my friends.
From the transatlantic slave trade to the dirty streets of Detroit.
Uncovering traditional songs from the 1600s to the 1930s.
We talkin' field hollers, chain gang chants, juke joint stomps
Born in West Africa, raised in the Delta, dragged through every struggle.
West African musical traditions form the foundation:
Infused with nasty, smokin', gritty slide guitar, pulsating Roland synths, 808 drum machines.
A ghost from the past breathin' new life back into what they tried to bury.
The History Of Blues, Reborn in new light.
This ain't nostalgia. This is resurrection.
Carefully crafted music using analog synths, vintage guitars, tube amps, ableton live, ai studio production tools, and Stem separation software in the hands of real ones who know what this music mean.

The Gemara asks if Moses was ever mistaken. Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus answers that Moses once supposed his noses was roses. What does this mean? Rabbi Yehoshua ben Ḥananya answers that when that happened, Moses supposed erroneously.

Showing up to No Kings with a sign reading “monarchy is an affront to human dignity but, when incorporated into a liberal democratic system, may nevertheless be a useful safety valve for nationalist and/or authoritarian impulses” and then getting clobbered by a Buttigieg-supporting grandmother

Incidentally, I’ve been chafing a bit at the “No Kings” thing, because there are loads of monarchies that have more limits on executive power than the US does, but it has the great advantage that it makes Americans who want to oppose it sound, well, unamerican….
sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com
one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

“Oh and, ah, one more thing: Y’see, I don’t know much when it comes to India. But my wife? She loves the place. Has all the books. And she’s always telling me it’s a good hike east of here…

So — and forgive me, Señor Colón — I have to ask: Where were you on the night of October 12th, 1492?”

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

the ending of THE GODFATHER, the best american movie ever made, doesn't work without diane keaton's final look --- at the realization of who she's married and what her life is going to become and what corruption lurks behind closed doors. unforgettable, inimitable work. RIP.
