No matter where you go, there you are
Always look on the bright side of life
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Rrright ... nowwwwwww
I turned to look but it was gone
My antidote for our shit leaders doing shit things.

"Trump’s promise to pardon former President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who was a major drug trafficker, suggests Trump is not so much opposed to drug trafficking, he just wants a cut."

So much spot on in this post, bringing multiple threads together.

Slipped by but yesterday was the 45th Anniversary of the release of Sound Effects by The Jam.

My favorite Jam album (closely followed by All Mod Cons), this album has an aching beauty to it, sad but hopeful, "saudade" the Portuguese call it, that still hits me. Magical.

BUT DON'T CALL THEM NAZIS!
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Republicans loved to throw around derogatory “banana republic” comments under Biden. Turns out Latin America seems to have more robust justice systems than our conservative justices can muster.

They really are a bunch of corrupt, racist, fascist worms

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

This is very cool. It sounds like a little electrical crackle but when you think of what your listening to ... wind and a micro lightning burst on another planet ... it kind of stops you for a second.

And makes me hate Musk, Putin, Trump et al even more. Fools.

Largely forgotten here but shouldn't be: DJT humiliated by Lulu in Brazil. "I talked to him last night and we're going to be meeting" then says he doesn't know about the arrest. That undoubtedly unsecured call is probably how they learned he was going to flee. 💚💛💙🇧🇷

I loved Give 'Em Enough Rope. The production quality caused controversy, pissing off British journos as a dinosaur rock sellout. As if Mick ever hid his love of Mott or Bowie. Rancid or Green Day drew as much from this as London Calling and despite allegedly poor songwriting, it's pack with classics

Because 30 year old racist, misogynist (look up some of the controveries), lawyers who somehow manage to keep falling upwards are the new norm in Trump world. Indeed, the entire conservative movement is built around people like Ingrassia. Deliberately cultivated and deployed. "Where's my Roy Cohn?"

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

Uh oh. Science again. I'm sure RFK Jr and the MAGA twits will have it immediately shut down.
Yet another unique way to stimulate cellular immunity against cancer.

“Using the gut immune system to induce cellular immunity is a unique approach,” Shirakawa notes. “And it should be very easy to extend it to other antigen proteins and also infectious diseases.”

Very happy for Eze.
As a Palace fan, breaks my heart ... I suspect we'd currently be in 2nd with him but it is what it is, as the kids say. Just like Olise.
Meanwhile, I'm celebrating Yeremy's 1st Premier League goal and how Glasner is developing our depth.

Wish 'em well, let 'em go and keep going!

I remember hearing "Rocky Mountain Way", "Turn to Stone", "Walk Away" and "Funk #49" as a kid and being struck by how sloppy cool raw they all sounded. It was way smarter than he let on; basic but always pushing forward, utterly unique. A true guitar master.
