If for some reason you just found me, and don’t know me already… I write about great #Christmas songs by small bands that deserve to be heard. I try not to rehash the old stuff you know, and really hate little drummer boy… and facism.

literally no need for this

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

Australia, Japan, Canada, S Korea etc (and the middle income countries) should be talking to the EU about turning the EMA into the global medicines agency that we help fund asap because these people are insane and will kill millions.

We’re not a serious country anymore.
So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Popped it on last night and was transported to my twenties :) I remember seeing them on their first tour at the Mercury Lounge - his backing band looked they may have been ripped from the High School marching band. It was so great.

Dismantling the VRA is their plan. An all out attack on black/brown representation that would give Republicans a hammer-lock on power.

A potentially 20-plus house seat shift. Pay attention.

Good grief. I just saw on Juno records that they are reissuing... yet again... the Bright Eyes #Christmas record. Why? Why! Why.
Woohoo!
Hey, Twitter refugees! Here's my starter pack of awesome Christmas nerds. Follow them now and thank yourself in December. Or sooner, really: these people are all awesome year round.
I'm putting together a starter pack for people obsessed with Christmas: authors who have written about the holiday, people with a year-round appreciation of Christmas movies, yuletide folklore/history buffs - you name it.

Recommendations appreciated!
