❤️ Thanks! I'd never heard that one before, it was cool.

Here's one in trade. I've been a little obsessed with outlaw songs lately and Little Sadie is one of my current favorites. I love the line "and then they caught up to me in Jericho...":

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

It is absurd that a year ago we had the best economy in the world, unemployment was at a low not seen in years and now, I and everyone else are preparing for military check points to be set up in our cities and free speech to be banned unless the President approves what you're talking about.

Ah yes. The core principle of science that says one should start with the conclusion and then construct the evidence to support it.

RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Turns out, the MAGA Supreme Court is the one interested in converting your kids through the use of quack doctors with medically unsound practices based on no scientific evidence. "Every accusation is a confession" with them.

The Supreme Court Wants to Convert Your Kids

During a hearing this week, the court’s theocrats made it clear that they’ll vote to end a ban on conversion therapy for minors.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Hah! I shared this tidbit about the Wallin family with my Dad and he told me what my grandfather's name was before he got adopted, Lute Bucklew and my great grandfather was Finnish!

I'm 54 and I never knew that till now?!?

Today's new friend: this North American Wheel Bug (𝘈𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴).

An inch and a half long wheelbug: it is dark Grey with patches of black, has long slender legs and antennae, a sharp proboscis for puncturing folded up under it's head, and a spiky dome shaped growth for protection on it's dorsum.

My grandfather was adopted into the Wallin family in the 30's. He died long before I was born but I found out today that they were old timey musicians, even got recorded by the Smithsonian for their Folkways recordings

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

Tom Scocca @tomscocca.bsky.social · 3d

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

Tom Scocca @tomscocca.bsky.social · 3d

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...
