Amazing how that stuff of our youth shapes us, and yet we grow into mature, complex humans, @jamellebouie.net I shocked a colleague when I told him I used to chill with the skaters & punks in school. Remain In Light was maybe my most impactful record. Joy Division & Midnight Oil also hit.
listening to RELATIONSHIP OF COMMAND at the gym and i really cannot express with words how much this record shaped my 13-year-old mind

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

I hate to say this, but the politics of the murderer/arsonist make no difference to Trump. The authoritarian ruler gains support with ANY kind of chaos and violence. It is ALL justification for further controls, more policing, and even military intervention.

I admire @kairyssdal.bsky.social for his courage in this observation. (Despite it being obvious to anyone who's taken Econ 101, the risk of retaliation is considerable.)
I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

Imagine starting a restaurant, only to suffer a 1am fire nine months after opening. Devastating.
This just happened to one of my favorite restaurants -- Akari Express in Raleigh, NC. They make such authentic food, with so much love. Please drop a dollar in the hat if you can?
