Sounds about right.
On this day 40 years ago, Fables of the Reconstruction was voted Album of the Year at the College Media Journal Awards in New York City. @millsish.bsky.social thanked college radio and the alternative scene, "without which most of the great rock'n'roll of today would never be heard by mortal ears."

I never thought, honestly, never thought we'd have a president speak so much racist bile and so easily about our citizens in my lifetime. He is and always has been a disgusting piece of filth.

That is exactly what President Miller, em Trump, is saying.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."
