Equally uninformed about music, art and science but likely to post on any regardless. ECM nerd and Gerhard Richter obsessive. If I'm playing music: yes, it's supposed to sound like that.

“The whole dissident idea attracts a lot of crazies,” Duesberg said in a 2009 interview with Newsweek. “And then all of a sudden, without realizing it, you’ve become one of them”..and in his case, a descent that led to 300K avoidable HIV deaths of people he never knew and who likely never knew him

How is "No masks for federal law enforcement" not on this list?
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

If you want to see the Melania film for giggles, at least torrent it rather than giving the foul bunch more money.

More to the point, they see the MN resistance as insurgency *because they see themselves as an occupying military force* and not as a law enforcement mission.

Congratulations, Andrew Wakefield! You did it, you fraudulent quack!
🚨 This should alarm everyone.

The #UK has lost measles elimination status — not because vaccines failed, but because vaccination rates fell.

The US is on track to lose it too.

#Measles is highly contagious, dangerous, and vaccine-preventable.

Crikey. Years' worth of nothing but Dido and Toploader, then this lot appear in our local charity shop at lunchtime. Got a few of them on LP but hard to leave these behind...

BASH: It feels as though you're blaming the victim here

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Absolute drivel from the BBCs live feed. Despite there being abundant evidence to contradict the repulsive Noem, her words are reported uncritically, in line with the apparent belief that presenting a lie alongside the truth and calling both “narratives” has anything to do with journalism.

Trump makes sure there's always something. He can't violate one norm and then stop. He is to ethical transgressions what John Belushi was to cocaine

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?
If only they had had time for the "don't kidnap 5-year-olds and send them to detention centers 1000 miles away from their families" training module
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.
