Perhaps so, Sir. But not his appetite for the fight.

#GiveItUp

The Talk Talk lyric I'm thinking about today:

"Hear it in my spirit
I've seen heroin for myself
On the street so young laying wasted
Enough ain't it enough
Crippled world
I just can't bring myself to see it starting"
I Believe in You (1997 Remaster)

I could live in this for the rest of my life, and never get old.
These sets are sheer brilliance. Blakey was a generous man, and that was the reason his group grew and evolved.

How is it possible the Benny doesn't have a gag reflex ?

It's easier to spout bullshit and not bring Congress back to swear in the new Democratic rep. Because she's the vote they need for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files

I've always found Miles difficult after he started exploring the newer sound . There's some magnificent things, but I'm stuck in bop and cool.

If you’re not following @marcuskolga.bsky.social and @disinfowatch.bsky.social, you don’t know what bad foreign actors are constantly feeding Canadian and US social media with fake “grassroots” news, cheerfully amplified by the gullible. #cdnpoli

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick
A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

We don't want any law enforcement from US with access to weapons here. Elise Stefanik has endorsed this. CBC had an article yesterday.

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today.

The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads:

The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate
political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries,
while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has
imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s
welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who
support him.
It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless
leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals,
make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only
highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and
expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual
bravery in the quest for justice.
