All of these were brilliant, save for The Kinetic, which is super rare, but doesn't quite to do it for me. It's an original which plays well & if anyone would like it for £50 (all of the copies on Discogs are well over £100) do let me know.

Be mindful that Trump ordered our military to launch an "air strike" on a rubber boat he claims were drug cartel people. Of special note is that Trump never provided any evidence to Congress that would have supported his claim.

No Boomer or beyond should still hold an office without a succession plan. They should have spent the last years training and lifting up a leader to pass the torch to. If they haven’t, they failed. Brilliant people are waiting in the wings.

Pass. The. Torch.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

It’s pretty obvious. The shortest answer:

Some believe in it, some are grifting on it, some are eugenicist white supremacists who plan to ensure that "inferior" people are wiped out, and various combinations of the above. Worth reading / listening to the far-right history behind this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkxL...

Congress made their pay permanent. Military pay? No. Could congress fix it? Instantly. But why would the arsonists turn off the gas while they’re still warm and well-fed? They are fake patriots, fake christians who see everyone as disposable. “Respect the troops” means paying them!

🤨 we know who’s terrorizing our country.
www.nokings.org find a rally 10/18/25 👊🏼

Republicans are scared AF about #NoKings Day -- calling it a "Hate America Rally" a bunch of "radical left terrorists" lol

So, let's be sure we show the communities we gather in that WE LOVE AMERICA and that's why we are taking it to the streets

Things were moving really quickly for those of us that like progress. Marriage equality, then Me Too, Black Lives Matter, Trans is a thing that you don't need to fear or hate, etc. It's not a surprise that people who are scared by they're Team Trump.

While other states (and the federal government) defund education, this feels deeply important.

I’m not telling anyone what to do, but Portland feels like it’s going it right. Dress up as inflatable animals and dance. Make them look and feel ridiculous for being there.

Real estate investors now own about 20% of single-family homes in the country.

A big reason why home prices have skyrocketed in recent years is a lack of supply — and investors sinking their teeth into whatever is left on the market is making the problem even worse.

Psst...

Just a reminder...

If your religion is any good or of any real use you'll never need to force it on anyone.

Forcing a religion on people only demonstrates how uncertain, insecure and desperate the advocates of the religion really are.
