He's so full of shit. If he didn't think anyone would vote on Israel, he wouldn't have been glazing Israel in front of any and every camera that would record him (those 3 times he left the house during the primary). Also he jumped at every opportunity to attack Zohran on Israel. Get stuffed, loser.

I was hoping we could get a word on the Chorus org one day. Their content creator program, which two of the biggest content creators on the left were involved in, is clearly designed to astroturf independent media. It needs to be called out to protect the integrity of this space.

The only violence/destruction that day was the Marine-Lives-Matter demonstration that shut down the highway and shelled a few cars in CA. Thanks, Soros.

Are we sure he's not talking about the setting of the historically disappointing third Bioshock game?

I appreciate the general sentiment but this is a problem with the electorate - we WOULD be out to brunch while, like D presidents that came before her, she was laying the groundwork for the next R monopoly of power. Ds will never do better if we don't demand better of them than not being Republican.

Elis Regina and Adoniran Barbosa again, this time being legends in the studio

I've seen it said that the Elis was late to the session, and the "seu bom?" from Barabosa after the final note is him asking if that (first) take was good. I like it so I'm going with it.

One the best and most important albums of my young adult life. I remember eagerly awaiting the release (I think there was a delay or two iirc), and it's one of rare few times in life my expectations were far surpassed. A timeless classic and one of the GOATS.

Happy birthday with love and respect.

I was going to vote for Mamdani but he can't even list the number of parades he's missed... how many parades has this man missed, and he's not even mayor yet!! 😭😭

I guess? To you and I, sure. This couldn't have played out better for the intended audience (Trump and rightwing media) though. As far as they and their audience go, Kash just schooled "Shifty Schiff." Idk maybe I'm just slightly doomer-pilled lately, despite my best efforts.

I've a friend whose relationship began to develop some trust issues. The two were/are still very much in love but his gf couldn't get past it, so he suggested making his GPS location visible to her. The two have been mutually doing that for a couple of months now

Not sure how much it's helping...

It's unreal to see how quickly these people slip into Trumpian "hoax" territory when their favorite creator is implicated in a corruption scheme.

I hope you've been made aware of the "Chorus" story that Wire published. I thought it was problematic to collaborate with Brian Tyler Cohen from the jump, as he hasn't figured out how to say almost a single critical word about Israel in the past two years. Now that we see him astroturfing the

Were there leftists defending Pool and Rubin? Because if not, you don't have a double-standard complaint here.

There are people who see the world differently from you. Some people see war crimes and get offended. Other people, such as myself, see war crimes as dollar signs from a nation that needs political cover in our country.

And what if he had an agenda? Is exposing your cowardice, double standards, self-interest and running of interference for the worst of crimes a society can commit not valid if the person doing it planned to? Ritchie is, once again, outraged at the wrong thing and completely showing his ass here.
