Oh no! In my youth it was WMMR and WYSP that fought for classic rock bandwidth on my car stereo

Pierre Robert was one of the kindest human beings i've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Rest in Peace Pierre, Philadelphia Radio is less bright without you.

I’m pretty charitable but the dude has had it for some time. Youthful mistakes are forgivable but it seems like at some point he knew what it was and didn’t take action

After the Civil War, Confederate General James Longstreet “saw the light” and became a model citizen and supported Grant’s reconstruction policies. Despite his turn away from the darkness would I ever vote for him? No. Being a secesh or getting a Nazi tattoo is not a whoopsie

*tugs on suspenders* I’m no fancy big-city lawyer but Bovino clearly has no intent of following the judge’s orders!

This is what a real Democrat who listens to voters says:

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Well, rents need to continue to go down to find equilibrium! If rents increased 10x but have only gone down 2x, there is more going down to do! Build, baby, build!

No, you do not have to hand it to Texas but in Austin where they actually build housing, rents are down and landlords are offering concessions

That is the most stark thing I’ve read - just how deplorable the conditions were for the average solider, and the privations one had to endure. I’ve read much more about the CW than I have the Am Rev, and as shitty as it was for a CW soldier, the Am Rev seems an order of magnitude worse

I have read his memoir yet but, as you can imagine, his name pops up in a lot of the Am Rev books I’m reading rn

My thoughts were Jane Lynch’s Sazz from Only Murders in the Building

I recently learned about Joseph Plumb Martin and how shittily both he and other Rev War vets were treated by Congress w/r/t salary, pensions, and that goddamned Henry Knox!

@guyforget.bengreenfield.com I prep with 2/20/93

I don’t think my 16yo ever goes to a show without looking up the set list first, and regularly preps with a playlist that mimics the show. Great piece.
