#NowPlaying This was a leaving present from one of my team at the Virgin Megastore in Basingstoke who was dating Joe Strummer's daughter at the time. It was less than a week later that I heard about Joe's death on the BBC lunchtime news. Love them or hate them, this is a great Saturday night LP.

Le non-enjeu des vélos
Un bel exemple de flou mou de centrisme au gruau qui essaie de plaire à tout le monde en même temps.

I am terrified Mamdani is going to do something extreme, like subsidize a few grocery stores, says people who don’t bat an eye at for-profit companies with billion dollar subsidies.

I once heard it said that if you have a major party endorsement, a German Shepard could get 10% of the vote.

And not just Rin Tin Tin, but one you haven't met.

I have heard multiple times in the news that Mamdani is a democratic socialist. So can the media refer to the repukes as Republican Fascists?

Little-known worthy Canadian contribution.

Alfa, Bravo, Charlie. The phonetic spelling familiar to fliers, soldiers and reporters listening to police scanners.

Implemented Nov. 1, 1951, it was developed by ICAO with University of Montreal linguist Jean-Paul Vinay.

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.

And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.

But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.
Interesting cover from NY Post

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

L'article de The Guardian est plus intéressant pour comprendre l'apport musical de Ball:

www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...
Dave Ball was not some bloke in the background of Soft Cell – he drove their startling, subversive sound
Far more than a mute foil to Marc Almond, Ball brought his love of northern soul and strange electronics to bear on some of Britain’s most uncompromising pop

On one hand, I feel satisfied to just know that, after so long, the Blue Jays have finally made it to the World Series, and hope that they're proud of themselves regardless of how it ends. On the other, however, I want them to crush the Dodgers so completely that they beg to become the 11th province
