I feel like 50% of the shit show we’re living through right now is due to mania on the right being fed by paranoia-inducing media, and 50% is the result of insecure, middle-aged men OD’ing on testosterone supplements to feel more pumped up.

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

MICHIGAN — SHERIFF SWANSON (a candidate for governor): “A tragic but predictable event. I saw the same video you saw. When you have masked federal agents with no markings on the vehicle… This is what breaks down the trust of law enforcement across the board.”

For many, the most striking thing about Chicago was their (amazing) horn section. For me, it was the raw, insane, beautiful guitar of Terry Kath. He should be on more 'best ever' lists. #MusicSky #Chicago

In 1966, Mickey Jones played drums with The Hawks (later renamed The Band) when they toured Europe backing Dylan on his world debut as an electric artist. In 1983, he acted as the mechanic/sheriff in National Lampoon's Vacation. Same guy. #MusicSky #Music #Movies #BobDylan #Vacation #NationalLampoon

Presumably @providencejournal.bsky.social has the most up-to-date information on the Brown University shooting – including a physical description of the suspect who remains at large. It's a wonder they don't make an exception to their paywall for this info. #ProvidenceJournal #BrownUniversity #Brown

That time (only 5 months ago) that Peter Thiel argued in favor of the human soul transmuting into a post-physical machine host because "from a Christian point of view," people are "not ambitious enough" in their efforts to achieve immortality.

One of the great scenes in concert film: DB crooning about an (im)perfect heaven where nothing ever changes. Mesmerizing TW smiling & plucking a simple, perfect bass line. Backups chiming in from the wings. Roadies building the stage around them *while they perform*.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
